Do I join the air national guard at a national guard recruiter?

>>32165376
Why dont you faggots just say your rate?

>>32165396
In general the younger you are the btter but it doesnt matter as much as youd think.

>be me
>french but wanna live in the US
>wanna serve in the military

should i rather serve in the French military or US one ?

>>32166477
Are you me? I'm in the exact same case.
I'm leaning towards the former option, if only because acquiring permanent residency in the US is pretty much impossible unless you marry a US citizen or get lucky with the green card lottery.
So I'll probably be enlisting in the French army.

>>32165389
How hard is basic training? I can do about 45 push-ups, plan to get to 80. Can run 2 miles in 14 or so minutes. Plan to get to 13m. I think I'm fine for the physical stuff, but I'm really worried about the mental aspect. Do a lot of people drop out?

>>32166583

Wish you good luck on gatting US citizenship

i may be wrong, but i feel like french army can be more comfy, better food, and i could be handling dem famas, and if 'im gonna leave france, i might as well give it a favor.

Can you resume studies after the military ?
one of the reason i want to nelist is because i can't bear school anymore.

i just want to give up on the give up on the studies for some time, learn discipline, get /fit/ and just be in the military

Well if my family didnt hated the military i would probably be already in it by now, but i've only been discovering recently how wrong they are.

>>32166591
Only if you can't into social functions or handle authority or tumble dry setting.

If that's your physical baseline now, and can basic hygiene, you'll excel really.

>>32166609
>gatting US citizenship
I've more or less given up on that, it's too hard.
I don't know if the French military would be more comfy (what makes you say that?) and they're going to replace the FAMAS with another rifle if I'm not mistaken

You can probably resume your studies afterwards, yeah, but why would you do that?

We're in the same boat, I'm studying something I hate as well and my family isn't very enthusiastic about the military. I've realized that I wasn't cut out for academic stuff so I've decided to enlist. Depending on the MOS you're aiming for, you might be able to convince them that you're making the right choice

>>32166630
Thanks for the response, puts my mind at ease.

>>32166642
French military got the better food, and generally the french military guy i asked if they liked it, all of them replied yes, so i guess its good

why would i do what ?

I think i'm just not gonna tell them, i'm just gonna do it secretly from them, içf they knew, they would be trying everything to stop me from doing so

>why would I do what
Resuming your studies after your service

I don't know if it's a good idea to do it secretly, but it's your choice
If you're over 18, you can do what you want anyway, so it might be better to discuss it with them since they can't stop you

>>32166706
I'm pretty frugal, so as long as i don't mop the floor, i am ok with whatever they'll give me, and i don't even have a baccalauréat anyway, so its not like i'll have a super advanced thing.

Well, i need to study to get a job

Eurofag who just migrated to the US here, got my permanent residency approved last week. Pretty hype, gonna enlist next month.

But yeah, unless you're a millionaire or marry an american you're kinda fucked as a european wanting to move to the US.

Your other chance is to get a work or study permit and apply under the MAVNI program (french is a language they would approve), but then you have to be a lawful resident for at least 2 years before you can apply iirc.

>>32167994
How did you get your green card?

>>32168103
Married an american woman, came here on a K1 visa. Took a little over 3 months to get adjusted to permanent resident after i got married and filed the papers. So not too bad really.

Filing the Visa application and waiting to get to the US embassy took a long ass time though. Like a year.

>>32168178
Oh. Well good for you man.

>>32168187
Thanks.

Downside is that being a non-citizen I can't get any jobs that require security clearance. But if I want to do combat role that won't matter anyways, just means I can't get any cool tech jobs.

>>32168231
but you have to be SOF to do the cool shit

Help me, I just got done at MEPS and I am held over. I couldn't piss for the drug test. I sat there and tried for like an hour but I just couldn't piss with a guy watching me. Any tips on getting over it? My current plan is to just chug until I can't hold it once I am in there.

>>32168389
Is being SOF even possible for the average joe? What would I have to do to become a likely candidate for best boys?

>>32168869
Chug, but you're going to have to get used to peeing for America eventually.

I meet the mins to pass selection for sf and exceed them in most areas, but I'm taking a month to get in even better shape.

Question: if you're already fit enough to get through, then are the two months of basic, two months of infantry training, and airborne training likely to blunt your edge before you get to the pre-selection training? Because I doubt by that they push grunts as hard as we need to push to get into the q course.

>>32169002
0321 here, if there's major cardio or pool gut checks you'll definitely feel it after getting soft for a few months. I know the Navy puts there SOF guys in separate platoons with more PT, and most selection courses have a prep course, a la BRPC > BRC. I think AF might have the worst of it.

All in all only my cardio took a hit, find some guys and do all the body weight stuff you can when you have free time.

>>32169002
Nearly positive infantry AIT is only like 4 weeks.
Also, if you have hold over youll get worked out. There was an 18x drop a few threads ago saying how they dont have classes over the summer. So they were on hold that whole time basically just getting the shit beat out of them on a daily basis.

>>32169307
They have retraining over the summer, a couple of our guard guys went for a few weeks to pick up 11C.

For fresh guys it's OSUT, boot and AIT all rolled into one. You graduate basic, then the next morning it's infantry school with all the same fucksticks you've been with.

>>32168918
You don't have to be a superhuman to get into SOF, you know.

>>32168918
Yes. The only thing keeping more "average joes" from doing it is the thought that they could never make it no matter how hard they tried. It's a lot of hard work and determination, but it's way more doable than people give it credit for. Not easy, but it's a far cry from impossible

Just max the PFT and then some before you even think of signing a contract, score above mongoloid on the ASVAB and sign a contract that guarantees you a slot in the appropriate schools(option 40, 18x, etc. idk what it is for other branches)

From there on out, it's
1-don't quit EVER. Seriously, no matter what. Make them escort you off the course if you have to, but as long as you never say "I quit" your odds of passing increase almost to 100%
2-don't get lazy. If you become a lazy shitbag before, during, or after selection you will either not make or be kicked out of your high-speed unit

That's it

>>32168918
>>32169395
I'm gonna go ahead and say 'no' then

Only an nth of anybody even attempts it, and less than an 1/8th even has the fortitude to make it. If you compare that to our population, they sure as hell aren't average.

>>32169395
>1-don't quit EVER.
I don't know about the US, but in my country you have to get above average results during training in order to make it into SOF, it doesn't only rely on whether or not you choose to quit. Is that not the case for Americans?

>>32169445
Most branches will take any one out of basic training into a selection course, but at the start of each course is generally a physical fitness test that is pass/fail. If you pass that then it's a ton of smoke and mirrors and brutal physical activity, it's not even training really.

If you get selected then you go do the cool guy training, then get to a unit and get smoked and hazed.

I'm going for a rate that requires TS, but I had taken adhd meds from elementary until the end of high school. thing is, the doc who diagnosed me ran her own private practice and retired without leaving a trace 5 years ago, and the only records I could scrounge up were for other shit that merely references that some other doc thinks i have adhd. I got through college with a 3.7 without meds so I should be fine.

Should I just lie and hope OPM/the navy doesn't find out, or is it not worth the gamble? even if I do find the records, will they give me a waiver? DOD says I can't have had more than a single daily dosage but I had one dose of ritalin in the morning and one at lunch during high school: http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/613003p.pdf

what are the chances of getting caught if i lie?

>>32169806
As long as anyone they interview doesn't mention it then you'll be okay. A high school teacher maybe?

If they find out it depends on how far along you are in training and situational type stuff. I saw a guy halfway through EOD get fucking dropped on the spot, reclassed to some maintenance mos.

>>32169495
Well, it seems to be different here then
>First step is a profile selection: Candidates will be selected regarding unit requirements and personal file (e.g. if the regiment needs some mountain specialists, they will ask for more mountain troopers to come for the selection). Candidates selected must attend the two weeks basic airborne training prior the SF training, for those who are not already enlisted in an airborne regiment.
>Second step of selection is "adaptation training" and "stage commando" lasting twelve weeks. Candidates must be above average to continue the training. Most cases of failure and RTU occur during this phase.

frenchfag by the way, this is an extract from the wikipedia page of the 1st Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment which is part of our SOCOM

>>32169871
Yeah, our recruiting is near constant to keep teams filled, so we take people with no experience as long as they can hack it. The bulk of SF though comes from current active duty soldiers, they still have to go to the same selection as those that come straight from basic.

>>32165420

I'm pretty sure it's the same thing here, we lack sufficient recruits or so I've heard.

I've seen people get through 100 % of their contract without qualifying in any actual job.

Dude MA barerly translates to LEO at all. It translates better to mall cop. Youre gonna stand at a gate and check ids 8 hrs a day 5 days a week and wanna stick your gun in your mouth. Youre much better off choosing a rate youll actually enjoy. Either way youre a veteran which looks great and you get the Gi Bill to get a degree in criminal justice if you want for free. You dont have to be a MA for LEO afterwards.

Should I go reserves and then if I want go active later on? hate the stigma about being a Semper Sometimes, but don't know if I want to cancel all current prospects and go full-on active duty

any advice?

how low are the odds that I'd be able to find a private security job after having served in infantry, if I'm not from special forces?

>>32171424
a. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) (314) UNLESS
the following criteria
are met:
(1) The applicant has not required an I
ndividualized Education Program or work
accommodations since the age of 14.
(2) There is no history of comorbid mental disorders.
(3) The applicant has never taken more than
a single daily dosage
of medication or has
not been prescribed medication for this condition
for more than 24 cumulative months after the
age of 14.
(4) During periods off of medication after th
e age of 14, the applican
t has been able to
maintain at least a 2.0 grade point average without accommodations.
(5) Documentation from the applicant’s pr
escribing provider that
continued medication
is not required for acceptable occupational or work performance.

>>32171497

Yeah, I met the enlistment requirements when I joined. Later went to the doctor while I was in and got prescribed meds.

It isn't something they give a fuck about once you're in.

>>32171495

Nearly 100%, but here's the thing: "Private security" is 99% mall cop shit for $12/hr guarding warehouses. You don't need military experience if that is what you're interested in, private security is an entry level unskilled labor job.

>>32171579
That's not what I meant. I meant PMC work, not mall security

>>32171495
just go into fucking LE you pog

>>32171620

I know what the fuck you meant, but I was making a point.

You will hear tons of prior mil guys tell you they are doing "private security" work. They will not expound much, and you will think they mean well-paid international contracting work.

They don't. They mean they're checking trucks in at a loading dock, or patrolling a parking lot at night. That's what "private security" means. If they're really lucky, they're somewhere that requires them to be armed (critical infrastructure, power plants, etc), since that at least pays a decent living.

So for your actual question:

>Will enlisting as an infantryman get someone to pay me $150k a year to go innadesert and shoot cool guns?

No, absolutely not. Conventional infantrymen have nothing that makes them worth hiring, especially if you're joining now and probably won't even deploy. Half-retarded IT guys will get six-figure overseas contracting jobs before you will, because they at least have a necessary skill.

>>32171671
Does deployment give you a foot in the door for that kind of stuff

>>32171475
>current prospects
What prospescts?
Just go active. Going from reserve to active is near impossible now adays. Youll regret now going active. Do 4 and get out with the gi bill and become whatever you want to be.

>>32171475
pls rspnd

>>32171714
No. Everyone and their mom has deployed. If a deployment was a magical trip to some amazing job then every retard Joe would have an amazing job by now.

>>32171340
The Air Force gives out ribbons for absolutely nothing.

>>32167994
If you do the MAVNI program for French you will spend your entire enlistment in Haiti and sub-Saharan Africa.

>>32171714

Depends on what you did during your deployment, but generally no. Deployments are rare as fuck now, deployments where you're actually doing anything are even rarer.

Like I said, it's not hard to get a job as an overseas contractor making good money. It's just hard to get those jobs if literally your only skill is "i cn shoot gud and wer a heevy backpak".

>>32171873
If getting a job like that isn't hard then what are the requirements?

>>32171742
>what prospects

CC is basically adult day care.
Living at home is embarassing and terrible.
Assuming by cook you mean a fry cook in some shit hole.
Listen, drop all that shit like a bad habit. Do 4 years active and when you get out youll have money saved up and the gi bill and you can completely re-invent yourself. Choose a branch and a job youll enjoy and just go for it. You dont have anything to loose.

Not that anon, but I was going to do Air National Guard to work on jets while getting a degree and a PPL, so that I can fly them. Do you have a better idea? I'm open to suggestions

>>32173182

> Air National Guard to work

That's really the only problem with your plan. The (Air/Army) National Guard doesn't really do their military job. If you're in it for the college money and stuff, cool, go for it. If you think you're actually going to do anything related to your chosen military job, you're going to be disappointed.

>>32173205
Will I at least get a better idea of how the machines can be best used?

Going Navy.

I have a Facebook. Will having people added with foreign ties from other countries hinder my eligibility or complicate enlistment?

>>32173544
Every time I post on /int/ I have a tie with a foreigner. Do I have to report that? No. Don't be autistic. Save the reporting for family, close friends, and business contacts, not random chink in food stall or gypsy who ripped you off in italy.

Also, this only really matters for a security clearance, so it depends on your rate.

It's all satire, though

I hate to ask to be spoon fed, but why shouldn't I go into the us air force?

I'm a 22 y/o male with no college education and not much more than a job that keeps the lights on. My motivation is that I want more than I'm getting out of life and fast, without going into debt as I currently have none and don't want a cent of it.

Before someone inevitably calls me a faggot, I'm saying right now that I'm ignorant as fuck about the ins and outs of military service, it just seems like the most direct route to a better life.

>>32176599
What do you want to do in the armed forces? You need to find a service that you could imagine doing for a few years.

What makes infantry so different from other mos?

>>32176624
I'm curious about munitions systems, but I can see how that would have little civilian application, so essentially anything that has me building something or fixing something.

Overall though, I'm not entirely sure what I would like to do, I almost assumed someone would have given me a reason it's a shit idea.

As far as what I want from service in general, I want an opportunity to set a direction in my life and to take advantage of the educational benefits offered by the military. Having a chance to do something for my country is a draw as well, even if I'm just sitting in the back building bombs or fixing trucks or something.

>>32176659
Well no matter what you do you'll get the GI bill which can pay for college after you're done. But if you want to do some kind of maintenance work that'll help you learn a trade too, or give you an idea of what you want to do (or don't want to do). So you have plenty of options afterwards.

>>32176870
thanks for the help, I'll do some more reading and maybe talk to a recruiter if I feel like it's a good move for me

I don't doubt that I'm capable, just if it's really the best thing to do with the rest of my early 20s, but that's a question only I can answer.

>>32176995
Look at it this way, if you join now you'll come out with a fair amount of cash and decent career opportunities by the time you're 26. Compare that of doing 4 years of what you're doing right now and decide if you think it'll be better or worse.

You'll be signing away a few years of your life though, that's why it's important that you find something that you could be ok with doing for 4 years without killing yourself.

From Last Thread:
>leaves out all dat special pay
>leaves out bah
>leaves out COLA
>leaves out language pay
>leaves out ultra-low interest housing loan for up to 175k nothing down
>leaves out special guaranteed investment vehicles available on deployment
>leaves out re-up bonuses
>leaves out that if you're stationed in a poor country your dollar goes far
>leaves out that if you're staying in a rich country BAH and COLA adjust to that and the base exchange is cheap as fuck and carries the essential goods
>left out that most special pay is untaxed and all pay is untaxed while deployed

It's like googling base salaries doesn't tell the full story of what military jobs actually pay.

---
What are all these benefits, can anyone explain to me, or direct me towards a page, that explains all the direct and indirect financial benefits of military service?

Is Marines all OORAH or will I be able to enlist as an officer and obtain skills and an MOS(? idk if I'm using that right) that will be able to transfer to the civilian world?

Thanks.
Even though this is navy, does this generally apply to all military branches?

Is there a general strategy to be stationed in Asia?
Will speaking Japanese/Korean help?
I'm fluent in Tagalog, but that's probably not much help.

>>32177584
Ya 99% of the time that shit is standard. What branch you looking at?>>32177613
If you join the navy and request Japan you'll get it. Ships there are fwd deployed and people don't really want to go cause of that.

>>32177730
Marines.
Also: http://officercandidatesschool.com/ocs-packing-list/
This is likely a stupid question but want clarification, I thought all the things you bring to training are locked up? Will you be viewed as a try hard bringing all this stuff or your own pair of boots?

>>32177796
Man I got not idea. I never went to OCS so who knows. That site is jut some guys suggestions so I'd listen to the official word over that. Didn't your recruiter give you an official packing list or something like that? Maybe try the ocs website.

How competitive is it to branch artillery via OCS/ROTC etc if you have a near perfect PT score and are in the top third of the order of merit list?

Engineer?
Armor?
Air Defense Artillery?

>>32177195
> enlist as an officer

Officers do not enlist.

Aside from that, if job skills are what you want you should pick another branch. Memerines are pretty up-front about the fact that they want people who value the title above all else.

>>32179194

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B9NKTv4LCbPL_I1AiUMGtgAhb68WKTYQwPfCTUvGyGA/edit


Here's the 2016 commissioning stats. The branches you listed are not among the most competitive, so if you list them as your #1/#2/#3 and you have good scores then you'll probably lock one of them in.

>>32177796
The fact that they're listing a specific brand with a direct link makes me think that website might have some advertising thing going on with the company. Bring whatever you're told to bring, and they'll provide the rest. Put it this way, you'll never have something the guy next to you doesnt.

>>32179264
thank you!

>>32177195
Look at the MOS listings available to officers for Marines
Also you won't have much of a choice unless you're shithot at TBS. You're a marine first not whatever your MOS is.
As far as the stuff you're taking you gotta take all that, not in a suitcase either

How strict are security clearances for rangers ? I ask because i used to smoke weed often and experimented with acid, dmt. Ive dropped everything and im not enlisting till next December but it's killing me thinking about it so much. Some ppl are saying to just lie about it but i rather not and just be truthful about everything.

Any army helicopter pilots here?

What was it like? How did you get to where you are? Do you like what you're doing?

Now that Mattis is in and Trump wants to wipe out ISIS What are the chances of going back to the sandbox within the next year or two?

Anyone he know about space systems operations?

>>32171910
>If getting a job like that isn't hard then what are the requirements?

An active duty enlistment or deployment.

But that doesn't say much about what companies are actually looking for which is skill sets that you've been trained and/or used in a work environment.

Private military contracting isn't all WPS guys working for State. A lot of private contracting gigs are Supply, IT, Admin, Intel, maintenance etc.

>>32171475
>Should I go reserves and then if I want go active later on?

Going from reserve to active duty isn't so easy as just deciding to do it. I would predict that your chances are close to zero.

>>32182297
we're scared that if we break a bone in boot camp and they decide to pull medical records, we get fucked. Then again, they probably won't and even if they wanted to, they couldn't get them unless we tell them which hospital to look at.

TS is a whole nother ballgame, but I doubt they'll care if you lied about adhd or asthma, as opposed to massive debts or foreign connections to pakistan. Then again, I'm not an OPM spook and I can't say what they will and will not burn you for.

>>32182433
Bro there's almost no chance you'll get hurt at boot unless your a retard or fuck up. Stop worrying about worst case scenarios. You'll be fucking fine. Thousands of people have done it before you and chances are they all lied. You'll be fine.

How hard is PT for a skellington?

>>32182485
>Bro there's almost no chance you'll get hurt at boot unless your a retard or fuck up
True. I just need to remind my refs to keep their fucking mouths shut when the intel interviewer comes. Then again, they usually only care about finances, actual criminal history (not your experiment with pot), and foreign connections.

>mattis confirmed for secdef

We're on the right track, boys

what are some good ways to improve swimming endurance?

>>32182632
Anytime this conversation comes up I'm confused again. Are people references that stupid they don't realize they shouldn't talk about smoking pot? Like isn't that fucking obvious? Why the fuck would you offer up that information.

>>32182823

The references get told they'll be committing a felony if they lie. Which is true. Stupid High School pothead friends will usually not risk lying to a federal agent for some asshole they haven't seen in a couple years.

>>32182433
>foreign connections to pakistan

I'm so fucking scared about this because my mother fucking dragged me along there when I was 14 to spend a few years because of "heritage" and meeting my grandmothers cousins inlaw. I'm shooting for something that requires secret clearance and the thought that I won't even be able to try out because of something outside my control terrifies me.

>>32182817
Swim more.

Also figure out how to best pace your breathing. Oxygen = energy so breathing is key to all exercise, especially swimming.

>>32182856
You must have shitty friends then.

>>32182823
Luckily, my refs are smart enough not to do that. I just need them not to talk about adhd.
"Remember guys, just say NO!" "Ok."

>>32182866
"Foreign connections" means:
1) Your grandparents, parents, uncles/aunts, siblings
2) Business partners

That's it. Just put down your grandma.

Oh, and make sure you don't still have paki citizenship.

>>32182817
Get used to having water in your ears. Being able to deal with it means being able to turn your head and take a breath with less discomfort. Breathe in while you reach, breathe out while you pull.

Also, swim more.

>>32171255

Were it still the Cold War, you'd have been good to go. Sucks senpai, but spending years abroad will fuck you over, especially pakistan. Enjoy supply.

>>32182987
Use a teacher or professor. Or a roommate. Or a coworker. Or a classmate who kinda sorta knew you but not enough to name additional contacts or embarrass you.

>>32182977
>They just get additional contacts from them. They're hunting for the stoner crowd you hung out with.
This is why you warn your refs not to name other contacts. Gotta stay ahead of OPM.

>>32183015

>Creating an elaborate conspiracy to delude OPM when they don't care about pot anyways.

>>32182977
That's a meme. For secret that ain't true. TS sure.

>>32182984
You realize that there's enough jobs that you don't have to get shot at, right? Just play your cards right and you'll be fine. Infantry isn't the entire military.

True, I could just lie at MEPS and note the "just one time" I did pot on the SF 86. Oh well, not like they care, right?

>>32183069
Do not listen to that idiot. He's talking out of his ass. They do care and you should lie. Look, the war is over and so is the surge. They can afford to be picky. Lie. Lie. Lie. Everyone fucking lies it's no big deal.

>>32183171

Hey look, another knownothing anon that can't tell the difference between a clearance investigation and military entrance requirements.

OPM does not care about pot. If you think otherwise you're just proving noclearance status.

>>32183059
perfect for airforce.

go drone

>>32183400
You should lie either way fag. I got a secret in 2010 no problem and I lied about all kinds of shit. You wanna tell

>>32183519
>The truth, fine, till the dice. It's your life not mine.
He has a point though. For secret, lie your heart out, but for TS, downplay anything your refs or their friends might know about.

Just finished BCTand got to Huachuca for 35M AIT.

I'll answer any questions anyone has about BCT in Fort Sill, or general shit about Huachuca.

I have my own question though, does anyone know anything about the ICTL test? 35M wasn't my first choice so at some point in my career I want to reclass to 35Q. It is nice that DLI is a requirement for 35M now though, I'm getting something really good out of this regardless.

>>32183664

If you halfway want 35Q, the ICTL will be easy. It's a computer knowledge test for people who haven't been trained at all yet.

>>32183664
>It is nice that DLI is a requirement for 35M now though
What's your DLAB score? Also, you should pray for Egyptian or Levantine.

You're only allowed to go to the bathroom at sanctioned times of the day. All other times of day you are required to relieve yourself in your cammies

>>32183916

Depends where you're at. Anywhere but Fort Benning is going to be pretty much 100 % non-grunts.

Fort Benning is still going to have a ton of non-grunts unless you're in an actual OSUT class.

The entire Army is 90%+ non-grunts.

>>32182984
You are literally every meme on /meg/ ever

>>32183960

>>32183059
Artillery MOSs, 11c, and 19k sound like a good fit to satisfy your autism, depending on your definition of "shoot people". They're all a good mix of being either away from(or encased in a couple dozen tons of steel in the middle of) the action while still being in a position to take names

Out of everything in combat, artillery gets the most kills, if that's part of your consideration. Just hope you don't mind tinnitus

welcome to freedom land. Pay your taxes but vote republican

>>32194625
Which rate in particular? Theyre all different. The fag that said that was just trying to sound cool and was probably still in A school.

I want to go USAF CCT

any /sofwashouts/ here?

>>32194673
oh thought that was you. I do have a question though, are drone pilots for every branch officers or warrant Os in the same way that all pilots are Os?

>>32194625
>>32194673

There's a constant stream of DLI trainees that post here like they know shit because they've been in X months/years... but obviously do not know a damn thing because they're still in training.

>>32194701
I said >>32165842 i was referring to the guy who called himself a secret squirrel.
For your question i believe they can be enlisted. Dont quote me though.

>>32194719
Yep, they all post from Monterrey like they been in for 10 years already.

Next /meg/ needs to be SF86 edition. We know to lie to MEPS but downplay for SF86, but what's worth downplaying and what's not worth even mentioning?

>>32194701

Army lets enlisted pilot drones. Air Force is really the only ones with weird issues when it comes to certain jobs. They're worried that if people realize that having a college degree isn't magic, they'll get their huge fucking officer bloat cut down. The Air Force keeps officers in a lot of jobs that other branches would use enlisted for, just to justify having a bunch of officers.

why would anyone pick the marine over army

>>32195009
They're a manlet.

I don't know why you fucks care about "stolen valor" so much. I just tried to go out grocery shopping and got held up by two assholes claiming I didn't earn the McRae Gore-Tex boots that I was wearing.

Why?

What does marine infantry do during peacetime?

Sweep rocks and vacuum parking lots.

>>32196769
we /meg/ 3016 now?

Anybody ever been stationed overseas? I doubt I will but I will probably have a lot of temporary assignments

>>32195013
I feel like a fish out of water being the only short mexican in my social group who didn't go Marines

what is it with manlets wanting to be debul dogs?

>>32192002

It isnt a career past e6 because you will basically be doing office work. So in effect your infantry career stops and you become an office bitch.

If you are stupid enough to stay in the military as combat arms enlisted for that long you need to be going to an SF unit or something because otherwise you're just wasting your time.

>>32193016

I dont know if you're the same cocksucker that rails on and on about how great officers are but unless you are doing something relevant to the degree you got or made some friends in the military you are gonna have just as hard of a time finding a job.

>>32195060
>Why?
It's mostly young boot faggots who think it's cool to fuck with people. Oh and the minority of "Professional Veterans" on Memebook. 90% of veterans don't give a fuck. Personally I feel bad for "stolen valor" people because it seems like the actual cases of "stolen valor" involve some kind of mental illness.

>>32182984
>>would solve all of my self discipline issues
>>would fix all my financial problems and college debt

LOL


Nah dude, if you have "self discipline issues" enlisting isn't going to do shit for you.

And your financial problems will only be exacerbated by having 100% disposable income. See you in six months when you have a late model car with a $800 payment and a 35% interest rate!

Any of those Naval aviation guys still here? What were your GPAs going in?

My hobbies include excessive drinking and getting shitty tattoos. I'm also prone to losing my temper and raging at people for no reason when I'm drunk. What branch should I join?

>>32199316
Navy

>>32165389
Is any branch offering two year contracts or is that only a wartime thing?

>want to go combat arms
>have shitty feet and knees
help

I'm around 5'6 and 280 pounds. I've got a lot of muscle but it's mostly fat. Will the hinder my ability to join the Navy?

>>32199349
That could work. Is being a gunners mate something that is bearable for 4 years.

>>32200025
You're fat as fuck stop pretending. You need to stop to 200 before you even consider it.

>>32200117
Ya gm is a good job.

>>32200147
Even when I used to work out and ate right I had a lot of problems losing weight. I just stay around 270-280

>>32200025
>around 5'6 and 280 pounds
Maybe they need a flotation device

>>32200231
>ate right
Eat less

>>32200231
You don't eat right. Most fat people underestimate how many calories they eat. Maybe you should see a nutritionist.

>>32200025
Just join the Air Force, they are anti-fat shaming and pro-feel good about yourself.

So I'm currently studying up to be a 153A (Army helicopter pilot, warrant officer) and I'm just wondering, how hard is piloting an aircraft if you've never done it before? According to what I'm studying I'm pretty decent at reading flight instruments and I generally understand the parts and controls of a helicopter.

Also considering enlisting. How good/bad is E-1 pay?

Any do people choose the military over college?

>>32200850
By the way you wrote that sentence I don't think college is for you.

>>32200858
There is nothing wrong with that sentence

Guys I chose a job at meps that requires a TS clearance. I'm slightly worried about it because when I was 12 I saw a therapist/counselor, and I got prescribed anxiety meds because I was an edgy teen. I only took the meds for like a month because I didn't need them. I didn't put that on my SF-86 because I didn't think it was worth telling them. Will they find out and am I screwed?

>>32201112
Probably. Lying on an SF-86 is a felony.

>>32200876
>any do people

>>32200025
>I'm around 5'6 and 280 pounds. I've got a lot of muscle but it's mostly fat.
By mostly, you must mean 90%. Cut your diet down to protein and veggies, and go to the fucking gym, holy shit you fat fuck.

>>32201128
Shut up fag

>>32201112
No. they'll never know. Just be quiet.

>>32200850

I dropped out to join the military, and ended up getting multiple degrees during my service. College was still valuable, but the military helped me focus what I wanted to do and gave me resources to do it.

>>32201112

They actually recently changed the SF-86 to be more specific on mental health.

https://news.clearancejobs.com/2016/11/29/dni-announces-change-psychological-health-question-sf-86

It's much clearer now about what they want to know.

>>32201288
Alright so from reading that it looks like I'm good, thanks

>>32201147
Wow, what cringe. I meant to post "why"

Stupid phone

>>32201260
How old were you when you dropped out of college to join the military?

>>32201526
What was cringe was when you replayed there's nothing wrong with it without even reading what you wrote like a moron.

Off topic question here lads, normally browse /v/, /tv/, and /pol/ but noticed the new vegas general and decided I'd ask here. Me and my sister recently inherited a couple of guns from my grandpa and I've been trying to find the legalities regarding inheritance gun laws either federal or for my State, California.

From what I've been able to find from google I've come across a lot of outdated links that 404 or just go to the homepage of whatever site they linked me to.

I'm trying to find out if I need to do an intra-family registration of the newly inherited guns, if they're even legal to have in my possession, if I need to unload every gun due to loaded(?) gun laws in CA.

Guns came from NV

>tfw nu-male with no gun knowledge but reminisce of older days shooting .22's and 12 gauge's with my 'pa in the Desert

>>32201702
>>32201702
>>32201702

>>32201541

20.

>>32201630
Keep your fucking mouth shut and don't tell anyone about those guns. If you bring them into California and register them it's highly likely they'll be confiscated if you registered.

>>32198122
>Anybody ever been stationed overseas?
Of course. Is there a point to your question?

>>32200850
Most of the idiots I work with are just too fucking stupid for academics.

>>32201793
I don't think that sounds very legal butttttt from what I'm reading it's legal to own an unregistered handgun so long as I don't ever transport it in a concealed manner, which I would never do. I'll look more into the IFF registration but if I seriously have to go to a dealer and get a "gun safety certificate" i'm gunna be peeved. Fucking California

>>32201630
Don't ask this in /meg/, this would merit a post of its own

>>32201841
You live in a state where almost every city is a sanctuary city. If they can keep their heads down and mouths shut, so can you.

t. former 714

>>32201886
ya but I want to shitpost about legally acquired guns without being scared of the FBI lurking the threads to v& me

>>32201926
How you go about this legally depends on a lot of factors.
Option 1: leave the guns in NV, and go there whenever you want to shoot your guns.
Pros: No registration
Cons: you have to drive hundreds of miles to shoot
Option 2: register the guns that aren't illegal in california (most of the fun, modern guns are illegal in california. too bad, try moving)
Option 3: get a lawyer

>>32201958
>option 2
The guns are 10+ years old, one of them is from muh great grandpappy. I think i'll just have to do the $19.00 DOJ IFF 30- day registration thing. The problem I'm running into is finding information regarding gun laws for guns that weren't bought. For example you have to have a state approved gun safe when you want to buy a new gun but since I'm not buying guns and no minors are ever near my house I don't need one.

I'm still trying to find all the legalities tbqh

>>32202007
What kind of guns are they? 10+ years old is still in the range for b& shit.

>>32202079
There's a hispana(?) colt .45, .357 magnum pretty new'ish, a 9mm pretty small beretta, I'd def say it's from 1995+. And a .308 Rifle from 1990+. I called my mom and apparently the couple of .22 rifles/.12 gauge's are registered here in CA under my great grandpappy's name so those are legal to shitpost about.

>>32202178
for the handguns, you'll need to check with your local gunstore or ask calguns.net. As for the .308, if it's a bolt action, you're good. If it's semiauto, there's a flowchart that will tell you if you're boned or not.

>>32202261
the .308's bolt action so that's good but the handguns I've been trying to look around to see if they're legal here or not. If they are i'll do the IFF form and register them, if not they'll probably get sent back to Nevada and keep them at my grandmother or uncle's house. There's a 30 day window so I still got time to find everything out. They kind of just got dropped off at the house out of the blue

One loophole is if you move to california from another state with those arms, you're golden so long as the mags are 10 rounds or less each.
