>>685890676

germany sounds great. i'm gonna be having dreams about beer as it is
>>685892840
how did you figure out how to use a computer?
Recruiter says juvie record isn't an issue but I was arrested for attempted murder two years ago at 19 charge was dropped. I want an 18x contract I qualify in all aspects other than I'm not sure if I can get security clearance with that. Thoughts?
>>685893084
DTMS, duh
>>685893084
Yea going out at night is great. Got here as Oktoberfest was starting
>>685893256
have you taken the asvab? what was your afqt?
>>685893256
I have 4 assault charges a robbery and trafficking on my juvie record of that makes a difference. Shows a pattern of criminal behaviour or whatever.
>>685893271
haha nice. any advice for a 91b and any good stories?
>>685893256
Hahahaha!

Facebook literally fucked the world . In a way it's a genius idea to connect with people but in the other hand it creates a fake online world thirsty for likes and followers that's all that matters now fucking likes I'm 21 so I came up with this gen but holy fuck did I separate myself from that shit . I have a baby and every time I go to parks there empty! Wtf well I know you guys still fight against other dangers to us so thank you for that but seriously when I am hiding behind a 3 feet wall taking fire from some allah arkbar motherfuker I would ask myself if it's worth it .
>>685893498
Category 1, 96th percentile.
>>685893256
>>685893662
yes but he needs a secret clearance for his contract option. do you have clearance or are you strictly talking enlistment?
>>685890078
>join army
>white phase
>liver starts failing
>sent to special unit that's closer to medical facilities
>told I can wait 6+ months in holdover unit with an 0200 wake up doing details to be recycled as a day 0 or I can EPTS chapter
>lol wtf
>chapter
>everyone calls me a quitter and fag
And that's my army experience. Ya'll take your shit too seriously if you think I'm gonna wait 6 months on fort benning mopping with active liver failure while DS BigNig reams me at 0200
I regret nothing. Ate like 10 cheeseburgers at Atlanta airport. Shit was cash.
>>685893963
pretty good. you don't sound like a complete idiot so as long as you don't try to hide anything you've got a decent chance. secret clearance is really not that hard, it's top secret where they start sweating you.
>>685893970
Those are both me I'm already cleared to enlist I just don't know if I should go for 18X because of the security clearance or if I should just go 11b.
Was in army. Promised college money.
Did 2 contracts, towards end of second got blown up ied style. Army gives me discharge for medical. Have severe tbi and ptsd.
Now VA won't cover me cause my injuries aren't visable, and can't get college funds all the way. So now work at a shitty car stereo shop trying to support family. Have to sell ssystems taken from customers on the side to make ends meet.
My life sucks
[email protected]
>>685894174
lol your problem was dying at white phase. shits too easy to want to die.
>>685894174
Ive seen people that were holdovers for longer hold through, my man Ninni broke his fucking hip and still finished through
68W here
>>685893689
advice? Don't go infantry.
Stories? Probably nothing you haven't heard, hit an in the stan, dudes shitting their pants on patrol.
One good story when we were deployed, i'll do green text
> was in the back on the stryker at night
>driver had his hatch cracked to get fresh air, >platoon sergeant says "Fuck this i gotta pee"
>Starts pissing off the truck
>Hear driver start freaking the fuck out
>Everybody thinks he sees something on thermals
>PSG sits back down and grabs his rifle
>Find out the PSG hit the wind shield while pissing and pissed all over the drivers face.
Might be a "had to be there" but we never let it go.
>>685893870
army has 180 jobs, only like 25 are actually combat arms iirc. that and if combat is happening at three feet you are either special forces or someone fucked up.
>>685894307
if you got medical discharge, VA would absolutely cover you. I got 30% for behavioral health stuff. go see your local VFW and they'll sort your shit out. how do you not know this basic stuff?
>>685893849
tinnitus?
>>685894220
Yes I heard it's more about how honest you're with them. My recruiter tried to push me towards computer based stuff like drone pilot etc but I said combat arms or nothing. He is already being pushy I don't want him to have a reason to not offer me what I want.
>>685893849
Thanks for doing nothing in garrison but slaying bodies down range
-love 11B
>>685894174
I would've done the same thing bro
>>685894548
Love you mother fuckers
Came over from Marines, bustING my assignment every day in the shit hole that is 29 palms. Went 68w, skipped basic and partied in San Antonio for 4 months as prior service during medic school. Linked up with infantry unit, knew my shit so never had to do a damn thing unless someone was hurt or sick. Deployed over, never got a shit detail, snoozer in the back of an mrap whenever we were out, saved some lives when shit got hairy. Army was so cash.
>>685894813
Not even mad i literally didn't do shit
>>685894979
Currently MEB, me either
>>685894174
Nah, you're a pussy for quitting.
35P, got out recently.
74D here
Shipping to Fort Sill tomorrow for basic training. Any tips for a boot?
>>685893256
Holy shit.
I was denied over an MIP.
>>685894289
are those all convictions? also trafficking in what?
i'm not sure how much you've read about the clearance process but this might be helpful.
dod.mil/dodgc/doha/industrial/
basically if you fucked up they want to see what you've done to fix it. it's called mitigation. with that much on your record, and yes they do look at juvenile shit, you're going to have a hard time with mitigation. it's possible though.
join the chair force
>>685895085
What language famalam?
>>685895119
don't take anything personally. remember that none of it will fucking matter after graduation, and you'll probably never see anyone there again. nothing in the army is hard, it just sometimes sucks. hope you like running. you'll run a lot. try to stay under the radar somewhat.
>>685894374
ever read kilroy joins the army? dude took like 10 months to get through basic.
>>685894799
Man I did the same thing. Guess what, it sacked. And you have no job skills when you get out. And you WILL get out. Your recruiter is looking out for your future
>>685895334
spanglishes.
>>685894374
Yeah but I had shit going for me on the outside. I knew a guy that had been in the holdover unit 1 year +, but only because it was either Army holdover or ghetto.
Btw holdover unit is awful. It's basically prison with less to do, more discipline and less contact with the outside world. Not an uncommon place for suicides. I'm convinced that the only people whom make it through are those with the IQ of a grapefruit that literally lack the foresight to see how retarded it all is.
That shit was like two years ago now and I don't regret it.
>>685894891
A lot of ex army have told me that.
>>685895082
yea bro haha fukn pussy lets go walk around in tap out shirts and drink $9 energy drinks
>>685895393
Ive seen people get day one restart in 12b OSUT like three times in a row, mind you each iteration is 14-16 weeks
>>685895446
That's dope you do anything for SOUTHCOM or did the army stick you in some stupid ass MICO?
>>685895338
Running isn't the issue. Neither is mental toughness. I'm good at running and I'm pretty thick skinned. My only concern is that I suck at push ups
>>685895192
All of them were guilty pleas with probation and jail time. I had a rough home life so I was either in juvie or doing something to go back to juvie until I was 18 and I cleaned up. Its been three years since I stepped foot in a jail and the only charge on my adult record was withdrawn due to lack of evidence.
A lot of POGs in here..
>>685895636
Nigger you'll get better, you do plenty in basic. If it's really a concern just do 100 a day no matter how many you can do in one sitting. Lock your elbows near your body and bounce using your triceps.
>>685895635
worked for a DoD agency my entire enlistment. have a buddy that did some work down there though, he seems to enjoy it. heard good stories otherwise, too.
>>685895802
There are 100 POGs for every 1 grunt
>>685895432
I'm probably doing 20 or moving on to sheriff's department back home after 6 so I'm comfortable with a dead end but more amusing job.
>>685895636
weight lifting is how I improved my push ups and sit ups. maxing them is easy, honestly. it just takes a few months in the gym of simple compound exercises.
Just dropped out of DEP and told my recruiters im not going. Was supposed to fly out to basic today. Probably for the best lol.
>>685895910
Well good shit homes, hopefully something pops off soon so you can get that contractor cheese.
>>685895653
i think you'll have a really hard time getting clearance as it is. but time is on your side and if you wait and stay clean you have a decent shot. read those reports.
11B2P here, stay in tradoc as long as you can, go to every school offered, get dem promo pts
>>685895504
Your response doesn't change the fact that your a pussy. Nut up lil bitch and see things through.
>>685895504
I mean, I doubt you walk around saying you're a veteran and shit, but shit happens, ya know. Your liver (of all things) said fuck it, nothing you can do . And good luck staying motivated to finish after waiting that fucking long. Hope everything worked out for you.
>>685890385

>>685896077
Doesn't really help. I ship tomorrow
>>685896078
maybe. what are you doing instead? I'm in university right now and it's being paid for by the post 9/11. I wouldn't have ever gone to school otherwise. so it was a pretty good call for me, personally.
>>685896078
Hope the MPs show up to arrest you, faggot.
>>685890676
Do what you are told, drink water, have with death by power point.

>>685895636
>>685895878
ectomorph here. start doing 20 pushups every hour. can't do 20? drop to your knees when it's too hard. eat plenty of protein and you'll be able to do pushups in no time.
>>685896091
you're telling me. I deployed, and some of the boys next to me in the shop were pulling 200 a year for the same work I was doing. if something *does* go off, though, and they're willing to re-activate my clearance, hopefully it's just after I graduate. lol
>>685896219
I already have my bachelor's and was gonna enlist. But then I realized, wtf am I doing joining the army. Not the place to find out what you want to do imo, but that's just an outsider's judgement.
>>685894591
nah man, that's fucking rich. that's like if iasip was in the army.
>>685894174
sucks to be in that situation, but you where at your prime and already having medical problem. You are gonna have a tough life bro, hope you make it to your 50th birthday
>>685896306
like I care what you think, keyboard warrior
Can recruiters help you get in shape while you're in dep? I'm really skinny used to box so I'm used to working out constantly don't have a gym membership and live in a tiny apartment so not much options for doing it myself.
>>685890676
Don't fucking fret, army life is easy after basic. Seriously remember that it's not like that after basic.
>>685895119
Shut the fuck up. And do what you're told. Help your guys out. Even if they're shitbags.
>>685896199
that absolutely helps. you'll have PT tests your whole career. I knew a guy, a big fat fuck. met him in basic. the drill sergeants graduated his fat ass because it would be embarrassing if they couldn't pass everybody. he only got kicked out of the army once he got to his AIT and they realized what had happened. the kid was hopeless, but that's the only reason he was dropped. my point is, you'll be fine. just do as many as you can when they tell you to, and try to maintain the front leaning rest otherwise. your body will fail. it *will*. everyone's will. that's the point. don't worry about it. just do what you're told. and again, once you graduate, go to the gym. that's how you'll get a good score, impress your leadership (which will shut them up), and get you some promotion points.
>>685896612
i keep hearing people say that basic is the hardest thing you'll ever do as a civilian and the easiest thing you'll do in the army, are they just fucking with me?
>>685896601
Start running, do incline pushups, do pullups, learn to flutterkigk for extended amount of time
>>685896410
I promise get that clearance reupped is no problem. And yeah those contractors didn't do dick when we were deployed and bragged about that 200k one year tax free money.
>>685895802
11b Here. Last thing I want is a bunch of grunts having a circle jerk on /b/. I get enough of that at work.
>>685896467
if you have a degree, of course you shouldn't enlist. go be an air force officer. cushiest thing ever. and great benefits. if I were to go back in, if the economy shits the bed after I graduate, that's my plan. lol
>>685896985
at least that's a euphemism. the navy on the other hand...
>>685896551
My driver did look like Mac lol
>>685896985
The life of an e3 bangbang sure must be rough these days, with your red cards and political correctness
>>685896601
yes, they sure as fuck should, and if your recruiter isn't willing to help you, he's wrong. if you're actually in DEP, then he needs to be helping you or he's failing in his role to prepare you.
>>685896601
I'm only so out of shape because I fractured my T12 climbing, quick end to my boxing career. I'm fully recovered and will conveniently forgot about that injury during enlistment.
>>685897102
Idk man, I've seen A LOT of dicks in my 6 years in the infantry. Gayest group of straight dudes you'll ever meet lol
>>685896880
True af homes. When it's all over you're gonna be disgusted with how worried you were when you were going through it. Other than the field and deployments, once you get to your first unit, you basically have a 9-5 job with weekends off.
>>685894975
>knew my shit so never had to do a damn thing
this right here is what makes the army awesome. once you get good at your job, you never have to do stupid shit again. the higher ups are too busy training the newer people.
>>685897153
what do you think he would be, 19d?
>>685896157
I'm graduating in like a week and I won't be taking orders from mouthbreathers from the sticks. I'm pretty happy with my decision.
>>685896158
No, but there's a kid on my facebook who kicked a pole to break his foot and get a chapter. We left on the same day and I see his bullshit about being an infantry veteran all the time. He's got like 3 kids at 21. Guy's a real mess, but I can't bring myself to delete him with all the entertainment value he provides.
>>685896985
There he is! I've been waiting for the E5 with one deployment to Kuwait, sitting on the BLC waiting list to come and flex his blue cord dick like anybody here gives a flying fuck about time you showed up, bro.
>>685890078
WELFARE WHORE
i just reported this, have fun in the pokey, faggot
>>685896947
only the first 90k is tax free. gotta pay on the rest. but still. one girl, was out there for four year straight. gonna go back home and retire. craziness.
>>685897281
that's pretty much what i was expecting... anything you might be able to tell me about 91b deployments?
>>685897015
yeah, easier said than done though. highly competitive, but yeah it's a better option than going in as an E4 in the army. still tho, i'd never get clearance for any good job tho, too much drugs.
>>685897324
shit no, everybody in that show would work at S1 and it would be a fucking mess. That needs to be a fucking show.

Sorry to tell you man but as of right now you ain't deploying to nowhereeeee. There's rotations out to some places but they're mostly combat MOSs or SF. If you do deploy you'll be on a FOB working in a motor pool if you have one.

idk, foster international relations by supplying aid or training forces? assisting during national disasters? developing velcro, the internet, MREs, all sorts of bullshit? if you seriously don't understand that the military offers something besides 'fighting wars', then you're ignorant about the subject.
>>685890676
Old school 12B here.
Never put DET chord into the thing you pull to set shit off. Forgot what it's called. Saw a dude loose fingers, though. Moron.
If you're on /b/ you're smarter than about 1/2 the dudes you work with. No more, no less. Follow instructions unless you think you'll die, then play stupid, might save your life.
You'll meet fucking BADASS NCO's. Don't do what they do unless you're crazy lucky enough to survive anything. (We had 2 NCO's who would pop smoke on IED's then run by and yank the cord. They were gods.)
You'll get blown up. Don't be a pussy, deal with it. We rolled in 113's with sides that were dented in from IED's. Just part of our job.
If you have the honor of rolling with army or marine inf, fucking act like you been there. Head on a swivel. Pull security toward the outside.
First time taking fire, you're going to shit, look to the BADASS NCO and shoot where he's shooting. DO FUCKING NOT just hide.
Also, I love you fucking faggots. If you haven't deployed, you're going to come home "different". Embrace it. We (non POGs) did shit and made a difference in the world, for good or bad. That's more than 99% of the world's population can say. Wear it as a badge of honor.
>>685899146
>If you're on /b/ you're smarter than about 1/2 the dudes you work with.
in my case the reason i'm smarter than 50% is because i remember everything, the reason i'm not smarter than the next 50% is because i have no idea what to do with all the fucking information
seriously though, thank you. probably the best post in this thread.
>>685898841

just chillin. how was getting clearance?

>foster international relations by supplying aid or training forces?
Money does that kid.
>assisting during national disasters
Which happens how often vs calling 911 .
You know when the actual help FD/PD shows up.
>MREs
Never needed any in my house and I am well fed you point is stupid an moot.
> all sorts of bullshit?
Well at least you got that right.
Face it. Other then standing by for that just in case you have no case for your vocation.
You ignorant examples shows you are just a 20 y/o trying to feel special.
>>685901716
Kinda, but I think of a grunt as 11B. Non-POG includes 12B, 11C, 19D, fuckin... doc...
Technically, you're right though.
Unless you're genuinely in a combat arms mos/unite, your job as a solid chancing of sucking.
I volunteered for a CSP (Convoy Security Platoon) in which we trained giving combat security to numerous convoys rolling out of our battalion AND brigade..Even though we had 1-89 Cav... Which over deployment wold take over.. I'm just saying, love what you join for and love what you actually do. The military is a great experience and can teach you as long as you're willing to listen.

jesus, stop projecting your own insecurities on the random army guy on /b/.
no matter how right you think you are, you're still the same, sad child that will always be searching for his dad's acceptance.
now, you can go ahead and counter with:
>i get pussy!
>i'm not gay!
>my dad loves me!
>i went to college!
and, my favorite
>i make 6 (or more) figures a year!
but we all know it isn't true. you will never, ever accomplish anything other than try to feel superior to a random military /b/ro who doesn't care what you think.
buddy, you're getting a little long in the tooth to be held back by daddy issues...

>>685903165
>jesus, stop projecting your own insecurities on the random army guy on /b/.
Jesus, stop jumping to his aide like his bitch.
He has a brain to answer for his own stupidity.
Not a great one but something of one.
>no matter how right you think you are, you're still the same, sad child that will always be searching for his dad's acceptance.
That doesn't even relate kid.
>you will never, ever accomplish anything other than try to feel superior to a random military /b/ro who doesn't care what you think.
tbh I know I am superior as I'm a medic taking care of people and even saving lives.
He and the rest of you day camp army faggots should care what I think because I may be the guy who takes care of your family or saves their life.
On top of that everything form the clothes on your butt to the food in your gut I pay for.
You see the relationship now?
Or do you still want to go on bullshitting about what you do and what you contribute?
Kid!
Get it now little boy?
>>685903988
i know man, i know.
this thread gives me some hope. kind of makes me long for the bbs days. maybe /b/ should bifurcate and we could have a /b/ for porn and a /b/ for irc-style shit. i dunno.
>>685904416
>you will never, ever accomplish anything other than try to feel superior to a random military /b/ro who doesn't care what you think.
We only call a good medic "doc". And this is a bond that no civilian could ever understand. man... I'll get sentimental.
When a guy's fucked, he's fucked. He's going to bleed out. But we still look to "doc" to try to fix that shit. Mad props to the combat medics, man. The only assholes who are willing to take those fucking odds into their hands and try to change it. I have so much respext for the medixs.
>>685905951
>We only call a good medic "doc". And this is a bond that no civilian could ever understand. man
lol a bond.
After what knowing each other for a short time or not at all?
And btw kid who the fuck do you think has seen and done more you "doc" sitting around on a base or someone who is out there doing it day and night?
Cold or the heat , day and night on the street.
>When a guy's fucked, he's fucked. He's going to bleed out. But we still look to "doc" to try to fix that shit.
the same as my patients which might include you own family.
Or are you fucktards going to fly in on an army chopper and do it???
> The only assholes who are willing to take those fucking odds into their hands and try to change it. I have so much respext for the medixs.
Doesn't sound like it as you do not even acknowledge one when you address him.
Than again wtf do you know about having someones life in your hands.
Get back to playing solider.

>>685908370
nothing specific, just anything you can tell me about basic or the army, or any shit about being a 91b (wheeled vehicle mechanic). i'm a nerd, so i want to know as much about the army as i can.

At first, I was like 'HOW DARE YOU', but one moment later, I was like 'You actually may have a point'.
I haven't started enlisting, but I know I would like anything in the 68 series other than vet tech. What is the best 68 series MOS?
>>685908517
As far as basic goes, you and your whole platoon should clear the benches if any NCO or other cadre need volunteers. Sound the fuck off, even if you don't know what you are saying, and there is always something that can be done or improved.
Also, when you get to your unit, don't be the asshole that creates more problems on the fucking vic you are working on. Also don't push everything down onto the operator and disappear, assist and guide that dude because he likely doesn't know what you know. It's your job to make sure those vehicles get out quick and in fighting condition.
>>685909358
that's helpful, thanks. while you're here, got any good stories?
>>685894307
You probably didn't prepare for civilian life on the way out. It's a paperwork but roll but it's possible. Lean forward and do 1 thing per day to better improve your situation. Did you not pay attention at ACAP?
>>685908970
why 68 series?
Nothing too grand.
92A, but I got attached to a transportation company when I got deployed. Never got 88M reclassified, but they let me get certified as a HET driver.
It was pretty cool, as a lover of armor, it was something to be the chauffeur for the American heavies.
>>685896078
Thank you for not waiting our time. With that outlook probably would have been chaptered out anyways
