Fair point, I just think that if you're going to sell your rights and liberties away for at least 3 years, it should be something unique that can only be done inside the military.

Like if you want to be an admin worker why not just do it where you're still a civilian
>>
>>33414902
Joining the military for combat is something only civilians and infantry believe.

Take the Navy for example, aside from specwar guys and the odd green-side corpsman, there's no combat to speak of. Most of the military is basically trade school with uniforms. There's a lot of bullshit and the occasional cool thing that may or may not make it all worth it.

Came here to ask people who serve(d) what their motivation was for joining the military.
I currently am in college and want to be a police officer, but may not be able to do that for a couple years (if at all) because of past drug use as a teen a year ago. I'm weighing my options and would like some input of any kind.

I'm hesitant to join the military since I don't want to leave my family for a long while, and you don't seem to make much at all in the military.
I do like the benefit of having my education paid for though.

I'm pretty sure nobody here can confidently answer this so here goes a shot in the dark :

Online I read you can't go Recon (USMC) if you need a moral and or drug waiver, I'm wondering if that only means you can't enlist with the 0321 MOS or if it means you can't go to Recon period. As in, join with whatever other MOS and ask to go to Recon later.

You need to specify here. I went down to meps this Monday and they currently don't accept any drug use. Doesn't matter how long ago it was, if you smoked weed ever you're disqualified period. If you have anything on your record that will not work in your favor either.

So you should be more worries about qualifying at all than going recon.
>>
>>33417092
That's a little weird because my Marine recruiter told me the waiver I need has a 100% acceptance rate at this point.
I don't see why he would send me to MEPS this upcoming Monday if I wasn't going to be able to join.

Also the Army recruiter told me I could get a waiver for my initial charge and the only reason they can't get my waiver is be cause on top of the charge I have a violation of probation (related to first charge)

Yeah, great job fucking up right out of the gate instead of doing what you want from the get go. Instead we should end up an under-qualified tard who is new to a job while everyone who has the same job as you has years worth of experience over you already.

It's tricky, nothing is terribly complex, but it's all very very fast.

The whole pipeline is a test of your ability to quickly review material and retain important information. As well as draw logical conclusions from a set of conditions and actions.

There are a lot of washouts, in all stages, most of them in A school or power school but guys still get disenrolled as late as prototype.

Knowing algebra helps with the math in the beginning (never gets more complex than basic calc) and having a basic understanding of things like electricity and physics makes it overall easier. If you've been to college, it won't be over your head, but they teach a lot of things differently than colleges do and that makes it hard for some people.

It's functionally peacetime. Back in the mid-2000s you could basically be assured to be getting a deployment, a real combat deployment almost right out the gate if you wanted it.

These days you have an incredibly tiny percentage of conventional units going overseas. And where they are overseas its places like Baghdad, Kandahar, Bagrahm where you aren't doing combat. You're training locals, provided static presense, and sitting there. You might get an incoming mortar or a driveby shooting once a month at the gate,if you really want to tell your grandkids about it.

>But my SEALs, SF, Delta, MARSOC guys in combat
These guys are an even smaller sliver of the military and are not an indicator of how conventional military stuff is going. They are VASTLY overrepresented on the internet and are not anywhere close to normal experiences.

>>
>>33420668

Does the military continue to cut you a huge check for housing every month for the rest of your life? No.

However, if you're using the Post-9/11 GI Bill you can receive an allowance for housing while you're in school for up to 36 months. So in that sense, yes, you can keep getting "BAH" for a few years after you get out.
>>
>>33411103

it depends on what her master's is in, though working on base isn't always a good idea. my girlfriend/eventual fiancee has a PhD. her degree is flexible enough that she can get work at any governmental health department. and don't live on base if you can avoid it - you pocket more money and have better quality of life.

officially the only part that matters is "married" in "gay married couple". we hated the one gay guy in our squadron, but that's because he was a whiny shitbag who was a shitty flyer, not because he was a faggot. you could be made fun of for everything you do, depending on what you do. i had a good friend in flight school who was gay, and we mainly made fun of his weird habits, acting like a political candidate all the time, and #blessed lifestyle.

>when hanging for 15 seconds counts as pullups

What the other anon said. You can only get "BAH" if you use the GI Bill.

>>
Youngins going into the military:

As soon as you are out of boot/AIT, go open a USAA or NavyFed account, open a Roth IRA and investment account, and stick money in monthly. Its super easy to max out a yearly IRA in the military, and you can put the leftover cash in an index fund or a high dividend fund like a REIT or PG. IRA is for when you're an old person, investment fund is long term but you can pull funds out sooner if needed. Make it a monthly habit to stick $500+ in there and you will have a nice post-military money cushion.

I'm out now with a nice money pile and my only regrets with thus were not starting sooner.

>>33421203
Maybe, I've seen other posts talk about it too.

My TLDR is that you should be trying to create a passive revenue stream/money growth instead of either spending all your cash (terrible) or just sitting it in a savings account (not as bad, but not good either). Other anons might come along and finagle the details, but the important thing is to do something as opposed to doing nothing.

IMO, try to max out a Roth IRA every year with $5500 contributions. After that, shovel any left over money into an investment account. You want long haul investments that don't need micomanagement since, as military, you just won't have the time. Do either a normal index fund, a mutual fund, or a stable high dividend fund (or combo of these). Automatic reinvestment is how you make the money pile up over time without looking at it. If you're nervous about investment at the very least get a bond fund.

Symbols worth looking at: USCGX, VBMFX, VTI, PG, FUSVX.

USAA's website is really well laid out and easy to use IMO. I've heard good things about Navy Fed but never used them.

It's seriously super easy to do this and doesn't require a ton of management once you get it rolling.

The reason fresh boots talk it up is because they are very proud of themselves and they have literally no other military experience to compare it to.

11FXs are fucking Gods and seen that way by everyone. CCTs/PJs/SWOTs are valued assets to SOF. What are you talking about?

Are you talking about the other jobs? The other jobs are admin and those jobs are in every branch. Air finance and army finance personnel are the same low quality turds regardless of uniform. What are you on about?

The Navy, Army, and USMC are about 75% admin roles.

The USAF is about 95% admin roles. This is why the air force is allowed to have lower standards and weird mental quirks than the other branches. Because that low quality is less likely to cause any real harm.

The 5% that is actually combat relevant is held to the same standard as the relevant positions seen in the Army, Navy, USMC and Coast Guard.

See pic related. Pay no attention to the chubs in the background. Air Force roles can be extremely relevant if you are one of the guys in the foreground. Its simple.

Tell me about becoming an unarmed combat instructor -- about pay, rank progression, or anything else. Is it where people go to seal in their fate of staying below the NCO level? I feel like if I get into such a specialty I'll never get promoted. No chance of sergeant/officer school?

I don't think they're still considered part of the infantry, are they? It's a little strange how it all works.

It's mostly an additional duty. Gets you some brownie points for promotion, but it's not a full-time MOS. There's no reason being an instructor would make it harder to promote, but you're not going to spend a career doing it.

In the Army you can attend the combatives instructor course, but it wouldn't change your specialty to combatives instructor. You would still be expected to eventually rotate back to your regular job. If you wanted to do it as a career, you'd have to do it as a civilian.

Navy and Army are good choices here. Air Force promotes a lot slower and gives you control over your career.

>Which specialties get to do cool guy stuff or have good marketability?

There are often, but not always, in opposition. The most marketable intel work is usually desk work unless you get some very specialized tactical experience.

If you really want to do tactical intel, you're not going to be able to beat Army 35-series with an Option 40. Other branches don't have a direct route into SOF intel like the Army does.

My job is Munitions Systems, AKA Ammo.

To start, I never wanted this job. My recruiter said take it, or walk my ass over to another branch (why the fuck didn't I do that). I had heard about how the Air Force was the smart branch, when in reality everyone is a self important moron with no capability to compromise to accomplish the mission. You don't get recognition for being good at your job, no, you need to spend a ton of time volunteering outside of your job if you want awards packages or a good rating on your performance report. And I honestly just feel like a civilian with tigerstripe camo on, I hate it.

With all that being said though, the quality of life is certainly the best of the branches, so if that's important to you, take that into account. I also got to go to Europe for my first assignment.

AF is basically like an 8-5 job. You do your shit, go home, and then do you for the rest of the night. They also allocate more funds to living quarters (they're often the first things built when a new base is being developed,) and the chow is all-around better.
>>
>>33423710
Better Barracks, DFACs, less mandatory PT.
>>
>>33423652
only 1 in 30 make it through fighter school. this is AFTER just getting through a degree (typically in engineering), getting through OCS, and getting through regular flight school.

if you wash out of fighter school, be prepared to fly mail carriers and C-130's for the rest of your tour.

when they say best of the best, they mean it. good luck.

Making it through fighter pilot training is not the difficult part. Making it THERE, is the difficult part. I'd say 1 in 30 more accurately describes the amount of people that get selected for a fighter airframe over heavies.

>>33423795

Are you including FASFA or something? Living allowance is only a little above 1k a month. You get a book stipend of ~$400 for full time, but that is just once a semester.

And remember that the first and last months of a semester are pro-rated to gyp you out of cash.

If you are still living in barracks after 2 years in the military, you fucked up extra hard. Nice barracks are only relevant immediately after basic/boot camp/recruit training/BMT and AIT/SOI/MOS School/Tech School.

By the time you are two to three years in, you'll be living on your own and will be paid less than your Navy, Army, and USMC equivalents because they will already have outranked you in the same amount of time.

Having a nice dorm room should not be your first priority.

Yes. Almost certainly if your gt is above 110 and pt is above i believe 260. There will be a guy from regiment who comes around and offers all the people with those qualifications contracts. If he doesnt and you are squared away and meet the requirements ask your drill sergeant. 95% chance you will get it. But also ask at meps. They honestly practically hand out op 40s.

>>33425262
All the branches go to the same course to earn an EOD badge, which takes about a year. Navy does additional dive training after that point.

All fresh EOD guys will have the same ordnance and IED knowledge. After certification, Navy training tends to skew more shooter and expediantly oriented. Their ordnance technical skills and dedicated skills for robots, PANs, and other equipment tend to go on the backburner since they skew toward mark & bypass and expediant demo. Younger Navy EOD culture views themselves very much as SEAL lite.

Marine EOD tends to skew more towards individual autonomy within team due to the Marine requirement to be NCOs before attending EOD school. This means they consistently bring prior knowledge in from other MOS, which can be very helpful.

Army is the biggest EOD component and has the most variety in unit types. You have a CBRNE specialist unit that takes CBRNE handoffs from all other EOD, you have a dedicated SF/SOF unit, and you have normal units rotating on and off SF or other assignments. The training pushed is usually more in-depth technical ordnance and IED identification and defeat with dedicated tools. They support local police most widely.

USAF skews like Army but smaller makeup and without a stateside focus.

Different branches skew different priority and culture, though its not to say any of this is in absolutes. You also have the post-military DOD jobs for EOD which work alongside active military and are filled by all branches.

The last EOD guy in the last threads said that the USAF EOD were the poorest performers.
>>
>>33431612
They get the same EOD qualification and selection as everybody else. Their after course training is robot and ordnance prioritized, rather than shooter but they get some. It really depends on the individuals.

Last time I saw USAF EOD working, they were coming into our TOC on a break from high operations tempo supporting a joint SOF taskforce. So yah know, its whatevs.

The whole community is pretty tight across the branches. The younger Navy guys think pretty highly of themselves, but high op tempo and experience mellows them (usually). Across the branches there is a lot of material, training, andl info cross support. Also internationally foreign EOD guys tend to welcome/be welcomed. The rivally stuff is just fluff that is a micro-version of cross branch ribbing.

I tried to be a sherrif for my local county and I failed their goofy polygraph test. If they decide I was lying I will never work in any law enforcement.

My next though was to join the military to learn a trade that I can use when I'm out. The thing is, I'm 26. Is it worth it to join the military that late and not use it as a career? Will they even accept me if I was rejected by a sheriff's dept for flunking a polygraph?

If that's what you really want to do then just do the 4 years and get out and use your GI bill for a related associates.


Honestly it's really not required to get a job in the military that relates to something when you get out. Yeah the job experience is a good idea but you could also just do whatever interests you in the military then use the GI bill to learn whatever trade you want. Not to mention a lot of employers have veteran preference no matter what they did in the military.

>Honestly it's really not required to get a job in the military that relates to something when you get out. Yeah the job experience is a good idea but you could also just do whatever interests you in the military then use the GI bill to learn whatever trade you want.

Wiser words have never been spoken.

Why do military officers have superior aesthetics to military enlisted so often?

Also why are they almost always taller?

Engineer is surprisingly not the case with this. I'm at EBOLC right now, and since Engineer, at least in the Army, is only about 30% active and the rest reserves/guard, you get a huge disparity in quality. We got a couple of (((New York))) National Guard who are very anti-gun.

Who gives a shit about transferable and untransferable shitty jobs when you can use the GI Bill?

Why go into the military to be a mechanic when you can easily be a mechanic without going into the military?

If you're a smart person you can go into whatever MOS or Rate you desire and after the military you can use the GI Bill to learn what you want to learn. Fuck going into the military for a desk job you can easily acquire without the military.

>>33434761

Ok serious question, what's an MP officer doing in a SOCOM unit? Didn't know that was a thing
>>
>>33434854

>Who gives a shit about transferable and untransferable shitty jobs when you can use the GI Bill?

Employers, mainly.

>Why go into the military to be a mechanic when you can easily be a mechanic without going into the military?

Mechanics specifically? Because military mechanics make more money, have better benefits, and can retire a lot sooner than most private mechanics.

>If you're a smart person you can go into whatever MOS or Rate you desire and after the military you can use the GI Bill to learn what you want to learn. Fuck going into the military for a desk job you can easily acquire without the military.

This attitude is why so many people spend 5-10 years after they exit the service drifting around and being fuckups. Get a transferable job while you're in, get your degree while you're in, get a good job when you're out and use your GI Bill to buy jetskis.

Those type of people are usually fuck ups no matter what. If you can't go to school and get your shit together after the military then that's on them.
>>
>>33435019

Optionally, just get your shit together when you join and don't pick a retard-tier job.

Depends on the unit, I've seen some American units that were pretty bad and some that were top-notch.
The only Germans I've worked with are some Fallschirmjägers and those guys are squared away as fuck but don't represent the Germany military as a whole.
>>
>>33435064
Or you could choose a job you want in the military and use the GI Bill for a job you want in the civilian world.
>>
>>33434892
>language dependent
Some people fail no matter how hard they try, others succeed with no effort.
It's largely a matter of aptitude. DLI isn't necessarily hard, but it's possible to go there and quickly find out you have no chance of passing.
But I imagine the 35F AIT would be much easier for most people.

hey if i wanted to go ranger, would telling the truth about my drug history be okay?
>>
>>33435149
There's probably no point unless you need a TS.
>>
>>33435149
Do you have any police records? No?

Don't say anything.
>>
>>33435161
>>33435167
what if i planned on trying out for SF in the future?
>>
>>33435195
iirc, SF only has secret clearance, the same as ranger.
>>
>>33435195
Just lie like everyone else.
Don't incriminate yourself. At best you'd be waiting around for a waiver, at worst they wouldn't let you join.
And 2 or 3 years down the road nobody's gonna look at your enlistment documents. The army will probably have lost them by that time desu.
Even if you have to fill out an SF-86, unless there's a papertrail relating to your drug use or your contacts are morons who might disclose it, there's no need to even tell the truth on that.
>>
>>33435262
>>33435332
but if i wanted a TS should i still lie?

>>
>>33435447
I think it depends largely on what you want to do and how badly they need you, but I was fully honest in my enlistment and never had any problems. I'm a dual citizen with prior drug use who's been through therapy - I had to fill out a bunch of forms but nobody ever seemed too phased by anything.

I'm considering going into LE after I finish my army contract. What did you lie about, what kind of shit will they ask at the poly?

Should I buy a laptop before I ship? Mainly just for gaming, storing movies, internet browsing . Also do they monitor your internet and go through your stuff? Navy btw
>>
>>33433292
>Wahh my parents fault im a crybaby virgin faggot!!!

lol the military is definitely not for you
>>
>>33436232
Don't bother getting one now. You won't be able to use it during boot anyway. You may or may not be able to use it on some downtime for your MOS training depending on what you're doing.

Wait until you're on leave right after boot to buy.

>Monitoring
You don't get monitored anymore than the rest of us. Internet in the barracks is generally supplied by a civilian company and you pay out monthly just like a civilian for it.
>>
I swore into the Army as a 25S, did I do good /meg/?
>>
>>33436179
if you're still lurking, they only asked me really broad stuff. with a few kind of specific questions
>Have you ever been in involved in any domestic abuse
>have you looked up how to falsify a polygraph test
>What is your name
>do you want to work in law enforcement
>are you prejudice or bigoted in any way?

I was a complete idiot though. I didnt stick to my story. only tell them shit they can find out by doing a background check on you. If you sold crack and only your best friend knows, then say you never have. When you're taking the polygraph just sing a chill song in your head until they ask the next one.

Do you have to get a security clearance for opt. 4

No Vincent Hall sucks and you'll operate an STT but not train on it.

>>
>>33437213
Thanks. Yeah they ask about shit like that in the armed forces too but not with a poly. I'll just stick to the stuff I told the army then since they also run background checks for criminal records etc. There's nothing for them to find there. Literally taken 2 hits of pot in my life so I round that down to 0. don't want to blow my career on being honest about something like that, that would be retarded.

Currently they have a 0 tolerance for past weed use from what they told me at MEPS so admitting that would disqualify me.
>>
>>33437745
Oh shit, I didn't think that I'd actually find anybody on here that's a sierra lol. I'm guessing that you're tac because you're NG?

Yeah. I like it but if i had been active I could have gone 1C which is super "gucci". I was at B co 551 on Gordon. Theyre very restrictive on privledges there. No pov. No civvies at first. Augusta sucks and is a money pit.

But we're a rare breed and its breeti cool. Pic related is proofs I could show of my terminal when I get to it ttomorrow.

How hard is AIT and what exactly do you learn to work on in AIT? You don't have to go full in-depth, I just can't find much info online about satellite systems and whatnot

How many people join because on some level they are hoping it will be like CoD?
>>
>>33438120

Youll learn about modulation, electrical, multiplexing, ip addressing and signal flow in common core. There will be more info than necessary but pay attention.

Tac learns hands on on the an/tsc 93e and the 156? Phoenix. Idk what the strat guys do but their course is shorter. Which one you do is need of the army based if youre active. 1C is an additional course usually offersd to active duty honor grads where you learn to control the satellite itself.

Is Rosacea disqualifying for the Army? I haven't been diagnosed for it or anything, but my cheeks have been kinda red for over a year now, and I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Will they say something about it at MEPS, and if so what should I say?
>>
>>33438672
>I haven't been diagnosed for it or anything
then you don't have it, if it somehow shows up at MEPS they'll tell you, i don't thinks it's disqualifying

>>33438672
that you're blushing because you're a cute anime girl

Right, but my cheeks are pretty red and its noticeable, I'm just wondering if they'll mention it and if they do what do I say?
