>was in the US army for 4 years >was a medic >got out

>being this much a loser that you can't function outside the military

Yup, OP sounds great. Be like my PSG and re-join three times so you can brag about making $60k to your platoon when you've been in for almost 20 years. Imagine working for a company for almost 20 years and making less than kids make out of college. And this is a company that has a high risk of injury, stress, and relocation as well.

Triple six, you have to do it

>>33199666
nigga become an ER doctor and have almost as much stress, less chance of injury and muuuuch more money

>>33199716
>implying people go back in the military because of money
Are you retarded?
People stay in and go back in because that's what they love. Some people aren't meant to go to class and get a job in an office. Some are meant to run through the mountains shooting motherfuckers in the face.

I feel you man, Iraq is 2 or 3 months from going back to U. S. led medivac and train and equip roles. SF can bring their own everything but they'll be pulling in contractors to be able to keep the number of troops low once things pick up. If you can get a few certs and a language class you're set.

>>33199666
Do you like running 30miles a week?

Former 11b here, found a Muhreen recruiter who wants to put me in. I've been out since 2012, I hate college. Doing it.

>>33199987
I used to do that shit when I was in. I don't mind running.

>>33200013
I'm just over the US military, it's not as good as people say. I could go back in and probably be a Specialist still, but I hate American military people.
That's why if I do go back in, I'll give the FFL a try first.
I could get British citizenship from my dad, since he's English and not American, so maybe the British Army would take me.

>>33200053
>k
So why don't you try going into Spec Ops type stuff?

You sound like a faggot kinda.

Personally, I figure I'm going to do 2-4 years with Muhreens then reenlist into Army and throw a packet in for Ranger Batt or SF if I still have the body for it.

>>33199716
The retirement bennies are pretty good.

>>33199666
>Any other vets know this feel?

I am not a veteran myself, satan, but my friend was in the sandbox with Minnesota's Nasty Girls, the 34th Infantry 'Red Bulls'.

The dude still talks about it. Says he misses it. Tells me about his favorite moments, and some unexpected moments of actual beauty like sunrise over the Iraqi desert..

>>33199783
>Some are meant to run through the mountains shooting motherfuckers in the face.
This. I also think there's a huge feeling of unfinished business.

>>33200053
>I could get British citizenship from my dad, since he's English and not American, so maybe the British Army would take me.
wait until they get a little bit less cucked. Also, join the royal marines.


If you dont mind working for (((them))), IDF takes goyims if they are former soldiers, i think it cuts down the money for good soldiers.

>>33199666
I got medically retired after ten years. Explosive detection k9 and all I want is to be back pushing a dog.

Has nothing to do with money like that other moron mentioned. With all my benefits I pull 6k tax free a month and would still rather be making e5 pay while on a detector dog.

>>33199783
>Some are meant to run through the mountains shooting motherfuckers in the face.

Or ya know, acting like that's what they do when in reality they shot one guy at 300 yards for carrying a shovel, saw the effects of a drone strike and thinking "I'm going to die" the first time they actually fight anyone that's isn't a goat herder (Chechns that they sweat were totally czechs) and then get out to burn every bridge with alcohol and denial while curling up into a ball on the bathroom floor saying "all I was ever good at was killing" when they really they meant hiking with all rifle.

However, the rush and the relative freedom I understand. Other than that every other fuck you meet is doing the same shit as the former star football player clinging to the highlight of their life

Someone's mad at themselves for not having the balls to join up.

Brains trump balls

What people don't realize is that these soldiers and marines who get out and miss it and want to go back in don't care about "being smart". They don't give a shit about how much money they could make with a college degree. They don't care about how little the military pays.
They do it because they know what it feels like to be alive, and they'll do anything to have it back.

Meanwhile some wagecuck going to college and hating every second of it is here telling them they're so stupid for wanting to go back in and how they're so much better off sucking dick to afford tuition to get a worthless degree that won't get them a job after

>>33199716
>less than a kid out of college
you severely overestimate how much millennial college grads are making

>>33201895
See>>33201876

College grads can't even get jobs with their degrees, unless it's some STEM job. And the vast majority of college grads do something completely unrelated to what they studied because they can't get jobs with their degrees. All that money to study something and they do something unrelated.
Most end up becoming IT drones sitting at a desk all day for the rest of their lives.

>>33199716
Also killing babies is fun.
t. marine

all day 'ere day. I'm at max age limit though so yeah idk

I believe he was referring to officers

>>33199666

The FFL won't make you feel better than the US army

Join a PMC instead: better pay, better benefits, less risk depending on your choice of operatiions: Guarding ships = easy, guarding adiplomat in Iraq = less so

>>33202041
Or shit regular ass dudes say because that's life and they're experiencing it.

>>33199666
yea but dont do it, ffl is balls.

>>33202049
officers make a lot, he's discounting housing and such

>>33200945

holy fuck this is brutal

>>33202072
projection from whiny ww1 conscripts the copypasta

>>33202063
That sounds unhealthy. I loved my education when I was still in, graduated, and got a job I know thoroughly enjoy that pays plenty.

If you're not enjoying your life, what are you doing?

>>33201547
kek you will never operate or be able to say you did in any capacity.

the only way your help your country is giving the IRS cummies.

>>33202063
>regular people fantasize about being in the military

oh god lol

>>33202072
Not at all actually. I don't know civilians think killing someone in war automatically means you're traumatized for life.

When I got to my first unit when I was in my unit had just recently got back from Afghanistan, so all these people had all these stories I was being told constantly.
One guy used a 50 cal and shot some guy and basically watched it rip him apart. He thought it was cool as shit, he didn't cry about it

>>33202103
>lacking reading comprehension: the post

>>33202105
This^
I love the marines

>>33202097
>kek you will never operate or be able to say you did in any capacity.

oh god ill never take orders from politicians, what will i ever do to cope

violent fantasies are the domain of angst-ridden teenagers and basement-dwelling adults stuck in that mindset

Wait for a big war.

>>33202122
Lol you are so mad.

>never know what a true brotherhood is
>never make real friends you can rely on the rest of your life no questions asked
>never do anything even remotely

News flash: no matter what you do or where you work you are a slave to someone else.

You will never sit in a humvee at a check point playing the name game for 12 hours, why live?

The infantry has to glorified or no one with half a brain would do it. Spend days policing cigarette butts, getting treated like shit, not being taught any real world skills.

The infantry isn't anything like the kids on here make it out to be.

To add to my post. This isn't Fallujah 2004, nobody does shit anymore and its been that way since 2011. Our deployments consist of sitting around doing nothing and the younger guys come home and play hero like they saw combat.

Even combat isn't combat its some guy taking pop shots and you never see them you just shoot back in a general direction. That or your walking or driving and get blown the fuck up. There are way cooler jobs out there. We had a navy k9 guy attached to us and I wish I had known about that when I enlisted.

Another vet suicide, shame

>>33199666
just rejoin

Why don't you rejoin with an Opt 40 and go to SOCM

It's gonna take me a couple years, but that's where I'm headed

Fucking sick of college, wanted to be a muh reen out of high school but I was pressured by my entire family to get my degree so I could be an officer instead of being some brokedick enlisted man.

I really fucking hate college, I just want this to be over with. Prolly gonna do PLC so I can get my damn commission as soon as I'm out of this shit hole. Fuck I shouldn't have let myself get pressured into this.
