Does anyone here know if I can join the US Navy as an officer

Kneepad promotion the post

Former USAF here. You need a degree. Get your fucking degree. get your degree.

Make it count. Get it in Homeland, cyber, project management, risk management or something like that. A bullshit degree will not get you a job.

Get a degree, your rank means nothing to the military. good luck.

Do you have a bachelors degree?

No?

go to school you fucking idiot. Fuck, somebody who's an E6 even in the national guard should know that officers need a degree.

>>31318713
Not sure he could get e6 even with a degree starting him at e4 in 3 years

>>31318733
Which I why I think he's lying

Then again, I don't have any idea how the NG works with promotions.

>>31318740
He never said he's only been in for 3 years. This could be his second enlistment. He could very easily be a 9 year moron who doesn't understand how to be an officer.

>>31318740
Same as big army for time in grade requirements and promotion points. The main differences are fewer reviews of abuses re favoritism and increased ability to sweep misconduct under the rug. Shit like what he describes happens occasionally at 5ish years in with the right kneepads

I guess I forgot to mention, I'm in college at the moment and have a year left before I finish my degree.

E-6 isn't hard to get in the ARNG if you're in the right MOS, excel at PT, and are willing to switch units for promotion.

I started as a medic in an engineering unit, and MOS-Q'd two different times for E-5 and E-6.

No not specifically but for a 6 year contract one is usually dealing with a first time guardsman. There is some variation by state of course but given no mention of time in service and ignorance displayed I figure at best a 1st enlistment who is exaggerating their rank.

ETS Glock mags suck bro, apparently the AR mags are alright, I don't have any of them.

But I absolutely would not trust ETS Glock mags.

>>31318813
First time I loaded mine the ammo was binding up in them.

Then came the malfunctions in a Gen 3 Glock 17.

Magpul Glock mags are good, so are Glock brand Glock mags.

guardfag here

i know a couple of ssgs who made e6 in 3-4 years but you have to switch jobs and suck lots of batt dick.

depending on youre batt and brigade they can be lenient on promotions especially if its a mos that doesnt have many people

You need a degree. Especially with the Navy. The Navy and Air Force are very technical at the officer level, and a braindead National Guardsman without a degree isn't anyone they want on their radar.

>>31318848
So kneepad got it

>>31318871

If already in military could be ok. If not in military could be fucked if crimes are not creative as fuck computer voodoo. Also waivers during wartime and or skill shortage

20 year old Sophomore in college here, I'm going into the guard as an E3 with no degrees, I am in ROTC however

>>31319008
Shieet, might have to wait until Korea: Round 2!

>>31319031
Rotc 60 credits some jrotc bullshit can all land an e3 eagle scout used to but only an e2 now

>>31319035
Election may determine where we go but 5ish years till another bit of nonsense at the outside would be my guess
