>>
Fuck the military, you're a bunch of disposable, replaceable pawns and you all know it, but you're too afraid to admit it because you think you're some humble god among men.
>>
>>717650239
And don't even try to play the "protect your ass' right to say that shit, CIVILIAN" bullshit. You've never even set foot in another country unless you're behind six inches of steel and a 40mm gun, you're not serving me shit.

>>717650375
Well, you may be serving me cheeseburgers once you get back here and realize the military doesn't give you any sort of useful skills or any real world education. But I digress.

I joined the army comissioned through military school. I've served two of my mandatory 5 years with a bachelors in business admin and I can honestly say that I am so glad I chose the army.

Im medically retired USAF but i deployed alot with the army. I used to setup the SNAP terminals (satellite comm system for sipr/niprnet)


i was with 5th striker brigade second infantry division in 2010, when they got in trouble for killing civilians/taking fingers/planting guns etc. Rolling stones did a thing about it called the kill team.


I was with 1/2 SCR from vielsec germany also


I joke that i shouldnt have gotten hurt cause i was airforce and only did caus ei was attached to army.


Airforce deployments are like qatar and shit, with a harley dealership 30 minutes down the road, and still getting hazard duty pay and shit.

Im 80 percent disabled thru VA. When you get out of the military claim everything you can, even if they rate it at a zero you have it documented as service connected for if it gets bad latter


PTSD shin splints everything.
Right now at 80% thru VA i get 1800 a month from them, then 1200 a month thru SSD. Since i was medically retired i still ahve tricare and VA and Medicade /medicare from SSD.


Theres a program also called the cargiver program. i think its if your 60% disabled or over. They pay my wife 1800 a month (pays based on how much home health care aids in your area get) to take care of me.

When i get my 100% i think its 3300 a month + 1200 SSD + 1800 from wife


So like 6300 a month and dont have to leave the house.
>>
>>717666804
How did you get a med discharge but only 80% rating?
>>
>>717666620
Honeslty i claim PTSD id only worry if a dem is in office, and even then they cant take your guns way from your wife/so

Its not like you have a felony with weapons under disability.


Plus, you dont own any guns. if they were registered to you you got hard up and sold them at the flea market to some dude one day.

Thinking of enlisting in the Brit Bong army, then join the Royal Armoured Corps after phase 2.

Anything anyone wished they knew before starting basic? What's deployment like, and how do the days go when you're not deployed? From what I've heard the army is 90% boring as fuck. I'd appreciate anyone's input, but even better if you're specifically UK. Cheers lads

>>717667146
I dont have anything registered to me. Even if they do pass a law, how are they going to collect from me? Send local Cops door to door collecting guns? Lol first ones that get shot will put an end to that quickly.

Send in military members to my house to collect them? They would need probable cause for a warrent for cops and such.

As for military members, its simple "i have no guns"

I live in the middle of nowhere, if you cant figure out hide a gun then your screwed anyways.

They going to send the VA out to collect the guns? If so i am fine with that. Ill go ahead and schedule a pickup date with them right now.


Of course its the VA, so it means it will take 50 years, and ill be dead by the time they try to collect


Its just like when you run afoul of the law. In court you dont say shit, just yes know and i dont know.
