I find berets cool :heart-empty::c(:_(

I never had to wear a beret but you'll come to hate every one of your uniforms except whichever is the easiest to take care of.

I'm afraid this girl won't be the same when I meet her now.

Null dijo:
So far she's being trained on a Destroyer class ship and says that all they've made her do is hard manual labor. She describes the engine room as being so hot, the pipes emit heat like when you open an oven. This sounds like a far cry from making sure the needle doesn't tilt into "imminent explosion". She's been so fucked up by how bad the academy has treated her and how she had no help from any of the teachers or officers over the last 2 years. How much more of this shit can a 21 year old girl take before she becomes some sort of fucking mental case that the government wont pay to fix?

That program has the highest suicide rate of the entire military :semperfidelis:
She has it easy actually it's common to work 18 hour days for months :lol: Also she's lucky she's working on a reactor which is fucking clean, if she wasn't a nuke everything would be covered in diesel fuel and lube oil in addition to all the other shit. After getting out of the military I hardly care about anything and think civilians are stupid. At least I'm happy.

you can blame recruiters for promising stuff
Presiona para expandir...
They officially unofficially promise that shit. So the government forces them to do the lying for them and then gets whatever it wants from you and blames the recruiter. The recruiter is the biggest piece of shit on the face of the planet though because he's a man who wants to live in his home town, wants to act like a civilian. Pretty much wants all the things recruit candidates have... except he doesn't want to face the horrible job prospects he'll have... so he helps put other people in the same situation, and lies right to their fucking face. The only people quite as foul on this planet are women's studies professors. Basically the military is not worth it... but if you must try.. pick an easy job, lots of paperwork, or a job where you give people what they need but don't work with food. Supply, barber, something like that... the stupider job the better. If you're a barber life is good it's like the only job worth having only a few jobs in the military will help you as a civilian and those that will will give you incredibly unpleasant work.

Also Null's girlfriend has had so many dicks in her by now. Wow just wow. When I was on deployment there were barely any women and half of them were married. Every one of them got dick. Nautical miles of dick. One even had to have a "secret" abortion. We're talking like 2 or 3 women... and like 100x as many dicks.

EDIT: Had to change to nautical miles. Silly me.

Good question!!! Let's find out!
Personnel deployed more than 180 days were more likely to have PTSD than those deployed for shorter durations. Further, personnel deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan were more likely to have PTSD than those not deployed under OEF/OIF, with the largest effect observed among Navy members (OR=9.06).

  • The variable in the study that had the strongest association for screening positive for PTSD was non-combat, deployment-related stressors. In fact, this category was more strongly associated with PTSD than was combat exposure.
Examples of non-combat, deployment-related stressors included excessive heat or cold, lack of privacy, problems with supervisors and inadequate availability of supplies or equipment.

You know those guys who have seen too much and accidentally killed babies? They're probably better adjusted than your girlfriend will be by the end of the upcoming military fiscal year!

Currently starting plans to join the United States Marine Corps, been working out, eating better, and overall got myself in better shape in about a year.

I most likely will wound up being a grunt, no tacticool MARSOC shit sadly. :c

We all got to start somewhere.
At least the army's barracks are on the nearby city for me.

I honestly don't think I'm cut out for officer material, lol.
Presiona para expandir...
Officers have it easier than anyone and half of them are morons. I don't know what officer material is but I'll tell you there is almost no point in re-enlisting when you examine the career paths available to people after their first enlistment.


If you're dumb enough to enlist then you deserve to get treated like shit later.
 
I'm kind of on and off interested in the military. If I were to join, I would most likely choose a noncombat role, such as Intelligence or Chaplain, because I'm a huge pussy. At the same time, I like and dislike how there are tons of rules to follow. On one hand, I'd be less of a huge pussy, but on the other hand, I'd have to be a trillion times neater than I already am. I should probably finish college before I consider any of this, though.

You killed rednecks.
Thank you for your service.
 
exball dijo:
Unfortunately neither are most of the officers.
Presiona para expandir...
Yes this. You should always go officer if you can. They're actually usually held to lower standards. In a small command there might be like 10% of the whole place that's higher rank than you and they probably will not even have real work for you to do. You can be a complete piece of shit and half ass everything and make like 60k a year... almost impossible to get booted out and you'll automatically get advanced your entire first commission so if you just want to do 4 and go... there you go. Also they'll pay off your student loans, they'll also give you most of the same exit perks when you get out. Your fellow officers will all be nervous spazzes cause they're in too deep and never figure out that nobody gives a fuck what they're doing.. just make powerpoints and do paperwork. Almost everything you do will be ignored at presentation or get thrown in the garbage after being skimread at best.

Also unemployment is almost unheard of in vet officers... wal mart on the other hand is full of enlisted vets.

There is almost no good reason to enlist actually... it's just easier to enlist nobody gets talked into taking a commission on a whim when the recruiter talks to them at a mall. Almost all people enlist under these circumstances
 
In the Navy we having something called evals, I assume the other branches have something similar. They're basically video game style reviews of you done by your superiors that consist of a numerical score and a write up. When my eval time came up my OPSO told us he was going to have us write our own evals. Good officers will sometimes do that to force you to look at yourself critically, mine did it because he was a lazy shitbag that wanted us to do his work for him.

Since I knew he wasn't going to actually read them I took a few liberties. I just gave myself a slightly above-average score because I knew that was the only thing he was going to look at and a fairly standard write up, but I took a few liberties. A few choice lines I slipped in were "best sailor to ever serve in the 7th fleet" " a credit to the Navy" and despite being enlisted "potential Admiral material."

I waited to see if he would actually read the write up and catch it, but like I figured, he didn't because lazy shitbag. I assume he glanced at the score to make sure it wasn't too high and then submitted it without reading any of the text. Now it's official Navy record that I'm the best sailor in the 7th fleet and a 3rd class with the potential to make Admiral.
 
Wow,my,how my opinion changed when Brazil's economy went to total and complete crap.
I kinda gived up my dream to become a officer.
I still have to enlist in the draft,but my chances to actually serve are probably low.
I still admire and really respect the military,but i guess its not for me.
My oficial goals are to get a student visa the fast as possible,go to work in my father's cousin store in maine in august,work for how many months as the visa allows and learn,learn a lot.
 
Mine's not really a story it's more of a tip for anyone thinking of going into the forces.

Get TWO tobacco tins, the 2oz size.
Fill one with Cigarettes and a Lighter and wrap up the joint with electrical tape around the lid, even if you don't smoke do this to your mates who do smoke you'll be a saviour, when dealing with locals offering a cig is a real ice breaker.

Fill the other with packets of the hottest sauce you can find and some breath mints, my choice was individually wrapped Mint Imperials and the smaller English Mustard sachets, the sauce will help you choke down fucking anything if you need to and the mints are to wash away the taste of anything the sauce can't cover.

How insane would you have to be to do that? Russia values the lives of its soldiers at about nothing, and that's its own citizens.
Presiona para expandir...

I am really hoping our resident Putiboo will step in to explain how the glorious Russian army treats its soldiers like princes.

But more seriously, the policy's aimed at people in the former Soviet Republics, mostly the -stans. Poverty levels are high enough that a Russian grunt's salary is appealing.
