When I was younger, I suffered from severe migraines on a daily basis and had to take Topamax to prevent them. I stopped having the migraines and stopped taking the prescription around 8-10 years ago. Since then I can't remember having a migraine except for maybe a morning migraine once in every blue moon.

I know migraines permanently disqualify you from the Armed Services but this was so long ago and I'm completely healthy now. Should I bother trying to enlist or am I fucked because everything is (probably) on my medical records?

Take a year or so and go to your community college and learn math. It will more beneficial for you in the long run. It's better to know basic math now than wait until you're in your mid-late 20s fresh out of the military.

stuff might be heating up again but its still a 99.5% peace time military right now, so just be prepared for that if you're wanting to see action ( in the span of a 4-5 year enlistment a lot can change though). Also going officer from enlisted is defiantly possible if you are a hard charger, some of the more respected officers in my unit are former enlisted.

>>33332602
Army is probably the easiest to get into. When you are done with active you can then go Guard or Reserve.

>>33332996
now this is a question I can answer pretty well. i'm a Navy BU and do about the same job as a 12W. My A school class (the army's AIT) was mixed with 12W nasty girls and a few active duty soldiers and we all trained together. Although they got only maybe 2/3rds the training we seabees got. they learned concrete, masonry, wood working, wall/room framing, with us but after that they graduated while the navy half of the class continues to learn finishing work.

Honestly military construction is a great job, we spend a good amount of training on combat related topics like FOB and convoy security (i've had range time with the M240B, M16, M2, and Mk.19) and if shit goes down again we will get called in, but our main job also translates straight into the civilian world. I say go for it anon, if the Army doesn't have openings I recommend you ask the navy recruiters about the seabees and the AF about Red Horse.
>>33333125
thats a good point but its also true about any peace time mil job, atleast you can start learning a trade while doing some cool shit now and then.

>>33333393
>>33332996

I wasn't trying to say it's a bad idea, Im just saying you'll probably be just as bored as a 12W as you would be as an 11 series, the difference being that you'll actually learn a trade.

If you want to learn a cool trade and actually get to do a lot while you're in, look into ship's husbandry. You'll learn how to dive and weld underwater. So you'd leave with a lot of transferable skills (diving, ships husbandry, and welding)

The Navy operates regardless of whether there's a war on, so wear and tear on ships is constant, so you'll have plenty to do.

I don't think you get it man. If we're not at war, there is no war to fight. Only special forces get tasked out for things.

I didn't have that problem, when I joined we still had a war going on so regular Infantry were put in the fight.

Until recently, there was a brigade of 101st Airborne in Iraq, but they're being relieved by 2nd BCT, 82nd Airborne
the 82nd Airborne 2nd BCT is deploying to Iraq
pretty sure there's still some 82nd guys in Afghanistan too
the 1st BCT of 10th mtn division is still in Iraq iirc
There's Rangers in Iraq and Afghanistan

SEALS/Green Berets are doing clandestine coolguy stuff all over the middle east (Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc)

Basically, unless you consider Operation Atlantic Resolve a fun deployment, you have to be in the 82nd (and really lucky) or be fucking 'leet as shit to get a combat deployment

What'd you get on the ASVAB?

>>33334224
I haven't taken the ASVAB yet, as this has been a smaller thought for the past few months. I don't think I'll struggle with it though. (3.9 GPA / 1400 SAT / multiple AP's )

And while I could get a job in the local area and wait, I don't think my parents can handle me not being enrolled in something whether it's military or not. (Sister is a brainlet who decided to not attend college and consequently lives shit life)

I still have time to think and decide, I just want to know how it will shape me as an individual.

>>33333891
>Nope. America is tired of war.
Nope we are tired of the middle east.

The longest period we have gone without some sort of conflict or dicking around in someone elses back yard was from 1812 to 46' and even this isnt true because we were fighting pirates in between this time.

America never tires of war, we just get tired of the scenery.

>>33334271
Not that guy you're replying to, but if there's one bit of advice I would give to high school age anons, it would be to take a gap year. Seriously. Do some traveling, look at your options for school/work/military, and just take some time to think about your life up until now. A lot of people (myself included) had parents, teachers, and other authority figures who were basically guiding them through their early life without realizing that eventually, the kids would have to start making their own life decisions. Your parents want the best for you, but in this case the best thing they can do is let you figure things out for yourself. No one really has any idea how certain decisions will shape them as individuals - people change a lot in college, not to mention the military. Take some time to either work or travel or check out universities; the point is to have some breathing room to figure out what you want to do. If your parents object, tell them it's ok because some random person on the internet said so.

>>33334271
I am the guy you're replying to; >>33334326 has it entirely right. Learn to live and function as an adult before you throw yourself into the military. Cut up, have fun and learn to handle responsibility along the way. Rushing to make a huge, life impacting decision like joining is a bad idea, you want to think it through well. Figure out what YOU want to do with your life, at the end of the day your parents' approval doesn't matter if you're unhappy as fuck trying to please them.
Take a gap year, pick up a part-time(or full time if you're down with that) job, do some thinking on what you'd like to do in life and figure yourself out man .

>>33334326
>it would be to take a gap year.
I kind of agree but even after about 6 months trying to figure out life i was no where. My mom told me to fuck off or go to college. I had no job to fuck off with so i went to college(also it turned out my 2 year full ride scholarship was time sensitive). So hear i am now thinking the military over and it looks better and better everyday.

I think its not best to take a year off but to but instead to do as much as possible, do a little school, get multiple jobs, travel, and think about what you want in the end.

I think ive figured it out after having this experiences from my solphmore to 3rd semester of college

and above all think, think, think.

Honestly ive got no clue what im doing but ive looked at everyone i know who has gone down my path and i realize its a fucking road that goes no where and everyone i know who is where i want to be are in the military. I honestly, i just wish i had looked at everyone around me instead of just looking at myself.

Original anon here,

I would honestly agree with the waiting sentiment if I wasn't such a degenerate man.

Like I recognize what kind of person I am and I understand that if given no responsibilities i'd just become like a NEET.

My current character is something that needs heavy work on and it's primarily the reason pushing for the military.

When I said mental state issues in the previous posts I didn't mean the fact that I can't handle college and I'll end up breaking down, or even that I don't know what I want to do in life. It's more as if I understand that in my current form, my degeneracy will spiral when I leave to college and am absolved of parental rules and whatnot. I'd come out like a NEET or something. This fact alone just disgusts me.

It's not as if I didn't try to fix this either, I did a slower method and tried the

>just try to gradually change yourself

Approach, which didn't do shit for me. I spent a year away from any form of computer associated myself with everything and anything normie-based that I could find relative interest in. While that year was ultimately fun as shit and I met a bunch of new people and had new experiences, I still felt hollow and eventually reverted back to playing vidya constantly and whatnot. It's just my weakness and I'd need a harsh change to absolve it in my opinion.

tl;dr: I lack blatant self control and will spiral into NEETdom if left to my own device and I want advice on how the military will shape my character

on a scale from 1-10, how meme are the muhreens? aside form the pride, and being able to say "i was a muhreen!" is there any real reason to be marine 0300?

>>33334515
Fair enough man. No one call tell you how exactly how the military you change you, but one thing that pretty universal amongst every I know who's either currently in the military or retired is that you will become disciplined. In the military, you don't have a choice of whether to get up in the morning or do this or that; you just do it. Even after people leave the military they will retain that sense of discipline in their daily lives.

I head to MEPS monday and then ship out tuesday. Starting to get butterflies. Not cold feet or anything, just nervous.

I take meds daily for it but I don't have to, I can function with out them but I do better with them. Will I be expected to stop taking them if I join?

>>33334692
Ok dude, I'm gonna shoot this straight.

Here's the thing. They let Navy docs choose greenside. So you will be a corpsman for Marines. The shitty thing is, it's a gamble. You could work at a hospital on a Marine base being a nurse. You could land a pog unit. Or you get thrown in the mix and land Infantry. We don't fuck around you will have an e5 screaming at you no different than a Marine.

>>33334736
ADHD medicine is meth, isn't it? You'll piss dirty at MEPS unless you've been clean for awhile.

Also, ADHD isn't real. You can lie and get security clearance, but if you go Top Secret, they'll hire a private investigator to shake down your friends and relatives.

Not sure. 18x is a bad idea for most. Sure, you can pass it, but there's no guarantee you'll make selection. I'm assuming you get recycled into some other combat mos. If you want to go SOF, best bet is Ranger and then drop a packet once you're in. I've heard the 75th doesn't like losing rangers to SF though.

>>33334865
What's it mean to "drop a packet"

>>33334877
Basically it means to make a formal request to try out for something. In this case, Green Berets,

>>33327740
If you'd asked in 2006-2008, you would be waiverable. At this point, however, the armed forces are getting more and more picky simply because they have a metric shitload of dudes hoping to join up.

Do you have any idea where I can get info on my original question regarding adhd?

>>33332283
It will come up in your file, and you'll get a few token questions about depression. They'll ask if you're taking anything illegally or legally and then proceed to ask the "Have you thought about killing yourself" question in about a thousand different ways.

Shouldn't affect anything though, my man.

The only person who would think you were a bitch would be the dude looking at you in the mirror every morning. What grunts don't realize is that for every fightin man there's a fucking score of dudes behind him that make his fighting easy and effective.

TLDR fuck no, anyone who bitched you out for taking a non-combat MOS is a fucking asshole.

>>33334896
Go to a recruiting office. I had an ailment that caused my stomach to produce more acid than usual. I lied about it so I could serve. as a corpsman or a combat medic, you don't need Top secret clearance. They only know what you tell them, unless you go for TS.

>>33334597
You're gonna do fine anon, everyone gets to that point. Just chill out, play some vidya or something, and when you get the call, ship on out.

They're gonna teach you everything you need to know, man, just empty out your brain and realize that the dudes in Basic are literally only there to help you.

>>33334911
Were you taking meds for it and did you keep taking them while you served?

>>33334958
I was taking meds prior. When I was a civvy, I was drinking and smoking ciggies everyday so that didn't help. Once you're in, you can use meds until after basic. I keep a lid on it with TUMS now,

It's not the best but I can run for miles in a timely manner. Right now I can crank out about 50 pushups in 2 minutes and 15 pullups in 2 minutes.

I was told to focus on running and the pushups/pullups will come during OSUT.

>>33335043
How long did it take you to get that point and where did you start physically?

>>33335103
i'm a manlet so it doesn't take me long to acquire mass. I worked in a fast food joint for 3 years. Lots of running around and arm strength making pizza dough all day long. If you're out of shape now and really trying to get fit, there's plenty of programs out there to help you out. I'd say Mark Rippetoe's 5x5 with a shitload of cardio.

Prior enlisted officers are usually worse officers than their TIS peers and have a more difficult time making it to the higher ranks.

>>33335269
>>33335273

You're both right. PS officers are total bros when they're junior (O-3 and below) because they're working directly with Joes and know what it is like.

They fall short later in their careers because they don't have the depth of experience, have learned bad habits, or are simply too old to keep up.

I prefer a PS officer as a company commander, but I wouldn't want one in charge of me in a position higher than that.

>>33334901
Sweet Jesus, thank god, and thank you!

>>33336307

No, it's a good Western SF unit, but it's been so cucked by the Marines' lack of ability to really fund it in recent years that it's suffered from a lack of tradition and cadre that other units like Green Berets, SEALs, etc. have. We also have a lack of reputation too as it is one of the newest SF units.

I was in holdover with a dude from MARSOC (who joined up for 18x) who basically said that the Marines SF were being outdone by everybody else simply because the DoD liked them more because they worked with them so much before. So Green Berets would get contracts to go over and deploy easier, etc.

Realistically speaking, how bad are Reservist units in terms of discipline/competence/treatment by other units?

I'm about 2 years into Uni and kicking ass academically. More than one professor has told me that instead of getting a bachelor's I should shoot straight for a doctorate in mathematics. They've specifically mentioned that taking a break to go to work after getting a bachelor's is a big mistake because 99% of people will get too busy and never find the time to come back and complete it. I was planning to do a stint in the military after I get my bachelor's but getting a doctorate throws that whole timeline off. Either I enlist before I get it and risk not being able to come back (on top of having my math knowledge grow cold before I head back to do the real hard stuff) or I troop around in the military with an overqualified doctorate and my job skills grow cold while I do something almost certainly unrelated to my major.

The reserves seem like the perfect solution to my problems: I can serve my country while putting my all into my academics and finding a super great job where I can make the most of my degree.

But almost everywhere I look, people complain about how reserve units are run. People outside of them hate working with them because they are undisciplined fuckups you can't count on and people in them hate working in them because everyone around them is an undisciplined fuckup they can't count on. Opinions seem to range from "yeah, reserve units really do suck" to "Hey, reserve units don't suck COMPLETELY, there are a few good things too."

Is it really all that bad? I like the idea of serving my country but I'm not sure I want to go in if everyone is just going to treat me like a joke who can't do anything right.

Future Airman here. I am signed up to go in for a 1N131, geospatial intelligence. I ship out May 30th, what can I expect? Is this a good choice?

Alternatively, my recruiter is going to let me take a DLAB test next week for a possible crypto linguist job. If I score well enough, should I take that one?

>>33334515
Are you me? Except I have three years of ME and I'm sick of it.

>>33334224
yeah this. it wast a decent job but for a year after High School I worked at a walmart until I enlisted. I think its a good idea to spend some time in the adult civilian world before you enlist, somedays the military sucks but it is miles better than being a wage slave and I appreciate what I have and what I've earned

>>33337130

What do you want to do in the military? What so you expect to get out of it?
You could always go talk to an officer recruiter and see what kinda of jobs a math degree qualifies you for. I guarantee you theyve got something for you.
If you've got shit hot grades and in a math bs, you'd probably make a great candidate for air force aviation.
Fuck if you had a doctorate, then went in as a test pilot, you'd be on track to becoming an astronaut

>>33337130
do it anon, and if your unit is full of the reserve shitbag stereotype then do above and beyond and you'll stand out to your chain of command

I'm thinking of enlisting to help pay my fathers medical bills and to be one less mouth to feed at home. What can I do? I'm fairly fit, pushups and situps need improvement but I can do plenty, ive never had a pull up bar so ive got no idea on those. Running is fine. Currently in college but I need to make a decision soon because the next pay cycle for classes is coming up.

>What do you want to do in the military? What so you expect to get out of it?

I had kind of a frail constitution growing up and really disliked boy scouts/sports or anything else outdoorsy or rough. On top of that I had an obnoxious attitude towards god and patriotism/the military and never applied myself in school. After a shitload of years pissing away my life like that I realized my outlook was stupid and decided to get my shit together. Started going to church, working out, and taking school seriously.

My life is going great and I'm on the right track, but at least one enlistment term in the military is my goal because embracing that lifestyle would be a final sign I've grown out of my old ways and become all those things I should have been when I was young and stupid.

I also really love America and what she stands for and like the idea of being surrounded by driven people who feel the same. Too many lazy snowflake leftists in my Uni.

So basically, I don't care about standards of living or benefits so much as the experience of roughing it with a team and getting the chance to perform at my max.

[spoiler]I also have a limited range of MOSs I’m considering because I may or may not need to omit certain “misleading” aspects of my medical records from MEPS and don’t want to have to carry around a felony charge when searching for jobs if I get caught, which means no TS or above clearances and makes officer positions and anything where I would put my education to work risky. Being a test pilot or something sounds super cool but I’m sure they investigate a lot about your background for those things and I’d rather do something basic and get the chance to serve then try to do the uber-cool stuff and end up getting disbarred entirely.[/spoiler]

>>33337533
That sounds like a good philosophy. As long as there are chances to apply myself and excel maybe the reserves would work out just fine.

>>33337130

Realistically as much as they try to make it sound like it won't...reserve/guard life disrupts your civilian life to some extent.

If you're in college, you will likely miss 1-2 semesters for your initial military training. If you want to progress in your military career, you will need more courses later on that will pull you out of work or school. It's manageable, but it's not the "have your cake and eat it too" solution you make it out to be.

It all comes down to what you want out of it. In all likelihood, 90 % of your reserve time will be spent standing around or keeping up on mandatory training (mostly powerpoints). You're probably not going to feel like you're "serving your country" unless you're on a deployment/activation/mobilization, and that just brings it right back around to disrupting your civilian life.

Do they go thru text msgs/whatsapp for TS clearance ? Stopped smoking weed 6 months ago and been getting in shape, only thing preventing me from contacting a recruiter is my drug history.

>>33337892

>Anon says he wants to surround himself with quality people.

>Immediately demonstrates a total lack of integrity.

You're exactly the kind of shitbag people talk about avoiding. The good news is that you will find plenty of company in the reserves.

>the experience of roughing it with a team and getting the chance to perform at my max.

Just go do a Tough Mudder or a GoRuck. You will do more hardcore shit than most reservists, and you won't poison the armed forces with your idiocy.

I took your guy's advice to start doing HIIT (interval training) to increase my speed last week.

Check it out, I think it works!

>finally broke 10 min/mile

I wasn't even trying, just running at a comfortable "talking pace" speed.

Another thing that helped me was greatly increasing my cadence to 180 steps per minute, youtube that shit. Supposedly the golden number for distance runners.

I feel like I'm about to make some serious running gains in the next month. Wish me luck anons, I want to break 9 min/mile

So I tried to join the Army about 3 years ago now, was 19 at the time.
Tried to get in as a helicopter mechanic, declined the MOS cause my eyes are shit, even though they are correctable to 20/20. Decided to just go as my second choice which was aircraft mechanic something or another, i honestly don't remember.. any way.. I ended up getting completely declined from swearing in due to
me having shit skin (moderate acne and what not on my shoulders) They said something about an issue of infection wish I get I guess. I want to try and get in again by this time next year, I've been working out and trying to fix my skin and what not. I'm wondering if there is any one here with similar issues or anything like that? I have the option of taking acutane, I just wonder if that will show up in my history next time I try and if they will take issue with it, its one hell of a strong antibiotic.

When I reenlist I will probably go 11b this time.

I told him why I'm joining and he said that I would get a 40k sign on bonus that I get out of boot camp. And also the fact that I'm an eagle scout would get me E2 out of basic as well which will get me more money.
Will I get to change my MOS after 2 years?

>>33339141

>I got a 67 on the practice asvab, he said thats above normal

It's not a great score, but the AFQT is a percentile. 67 means you scored better than 67% of test takers. People also usually do a little better on the real ASVAB. You will probably have all but the really high-req jobs available.

> I told him why I'm joining and he said that I would get a 40k sign on bonus that I get out of boot camp. And also the fact that I'm an eagle scout would get me E2 out of basic as well which will get me more money.

These are both true to an extent. Bonuses are flying like crazy right now because the Army is in a recruiting surge. 40k is possible, but it depends on the job, make sure you get it on paper. Going in as an E-2 is a good little bump, but keep in mind that promotion is automatic after 6 months as an E-1 anyways, so it's not a huge leg up.

>Will I get to change my MOS after 2 years?

Reclassing is technically possible, but it's not as easy as the recruiter will make it seem. It depends on the job you're in and the one you're trying to move to. Most people who join the military with the intent to change jobs later never get the chance to do it. Definitely not a sure thing.

>I felt butterflies the whole time, is that normal? I know I want to sign up but I'm signing my life away for a few years.


After initial training, you have 90 % of the same freedom as anyone else. Hell, I had more time off in the Army than I did at my shit job before I joined.

Infantry if you really like making bang bang noises and doing gay stuff.
Armor if you are really fat and like doing gay stuff.
Cav scout if you REALLY like doing gay stuff.

I'm still not sure what in actuality that Cav Scouts do
I mean I've heard all the jokes how they're "basically infantry", but what ARE they?

>>33342337
Theyre infantry in bradleys.

>>33341744

If you would be unhappy being anywhere but cyber, active duty as an officer is pretty much a non-option for you. Seek civilian employment or see if you can get a guard/reserve direct commission.

Has anyone used enlistment to discharge student debt? Do you regret it?

Has anyone in /k/ gone JAG, particularly JAG reserve? I'm working as an attorney in the private sector now, but I'm already in my late 20's and would like to serve.

I know it'll affect my private sector life to an extent, possibly costing some advancement, but I'm ok with that. My questions are more along the lines of:
> What is JAG like
> What is JAG reserve like
> What is it like joining the army at 28 or 29 instead of 18-20
> Do JAG reservists ever set foot in a courtroom, or is that all JAG-fulltime?

>>33342085
thanks for sharing.

>>33342337
how i understand it is, due to are current enemy(camel jockeys with out uniforms) they are pretty much armored infantry with a few more on the job responsibilities. They are suppose to observe and report enemy activity and from time to time engage targets. Just watch one of the many videos or go to the army website. they explain it alot better.

Get trained, get skilled. Don't fight for Zog.

>What's the chance I get DQ'd by a history of depression, anxiety, and adhd.

If you just had the issues "off the books" and never saw anyone about it, then it never happened. If no doctors were there to diagnose you or give you medicine then functionally it's the same as just "having a rough time" at some point in the past, no one is interested and if you're not stupid you can be entirely honest without telling them more than they need to know.

If you have ever been hospitalized, prescribed medicine, or been involved in outpatient care for longer than 6 months for those issues then you are already disqualified, there is no bullshitting around it. There are predetermined criteria for who is and is not qualified.

Waivers are always an option, though once you put in for one it is "out in the open" and you can't lie later (or rather it's an even stupider idea then just lying from the get go). There are things you can do to seem more appealing for a waiver. You can read more here:

>>33343536
>>33343643
If you have a doctor's prescription, there is physical evidence they can uncover later on. It's not like if you smoked weed once and no one they would reasonably think to ask knows. TS and above they get real anal with the clearance process and if they are doing their job they will uncover those records.

Like many other things about the military, there is no rhyme or reason to this shit. There are people who lie about huge stuff and get passed through TS clearance and people who bullshit about minor things and get put through the whole nine yards. Lying is a huge gamble. Think very carefully about what you want to do. If you really, really need to do military shit and you get turned down for waivers for all branches you could always try to join one of those Kurdish resistance groups who will take any warm body they can get. If you're set on a TS-required job it won't be like that though, you'll get issued a gun and get told to shoot people.

If by 'TS' you mean 'Top-secret' then no, I had no intention of intelligence or anything.

Any officers on?

Took the asvab today and made in the 99th percentile. Going for Army OCS, my GT score was 138.

Anyone have experience with getting a commission? So far I have recommendation letters from an O6, O4, and a CW4, all retired army. Trying to get one from a general but that's tricky.

Any advice at all on the process? My GPA was 3.49 and my bachelor's is in Biology.

Seriously, this is something I really want to do.

>>33343847
Maybe, but at best it would help with the waiver process, which is long, complicated, and mostly in the hands of way too many people, most of whom you will never meet. As far as I know there is no way to take an exacting medical disqualifications and say "yeah, doesn't apply to this guy." There are people who are disqualified based on asthma problems they haven't had in decades, and mental shit in particular is subject to aggravation due to the nature of the military. Don't forget, there are a bunch of civilians who work for the DoD (most of whom have TS/SAP/SCI or other ungodly shit) and medical history is not remotely disqualifying for them as long as they are professionally competent in their field.

You may be 100% mentally there and just not look good on paper, but paper is all most of these doctors will look at. If you don't need TS then lying might be a feasible option, but it's still a risk. They do random screenings that are more intensive on recruits and you just may be that unlucky mother fucker who gets a little extra scrutiny. There are no clear best choices, weigh your options, pray about it, and decide. No matter if you choose waiver or trying to bullshit your way through, regretting something you did will hurt a lot less than regretting something you didn't do years from now.

>>33344149
Speaking bluntly, they would likely see it as a poorly thought out attempt at bullshitting them. And honestly, it doesn't even make much sense to me. If you weren't taking it why keep going back and getting new prescriptions? Just fill it once and keep it on hand if you need it. Going back and filling up your paper trail with prescriptions you never used almost seems like intentional sabotage of your medical records.

Tell them the truth if they ask for it but don't expect that it will make a waiver unnecessary.

>>33344221
Will do. I've been trying to think up non-disqualifying reasons why I would use it (Fluoxetine) but I honestly don't know of any. I might just need to bite the bullet and pray they have mercy on me. Thanks man.

Stumbled on this pic.

Figured I'd ask in here since there's probably a good chunk of US milfags passing by.

What's with the armour?

>>33346460

It's just a decoration, although it probably has some significance to that cav element in particular. This is some kind of ceremony and is probably being done at some place around HQ reserved for ceremonies. If a unit has been around a while and has some history there's usually quite a few plaques, flags, statues, etc.

>>33326608

>If a unit has been around a while and has some history there's usually quite a few plaques, flags, statues, etc.

This is what I was curious about, what the story of the thing is. It looks kinda home made, so can't help imagine a couple of officers one day had a conversion sounding something like:
>We need armor!
>We already tried that with the Sheridan...
>Not like that, like a knight's armor, all the European cavalry probably still have armors.
>Uhh...
>I'mma call the machine shop, show those marine fags what knights turn into.
>lol ok

>>33330548
God damn the getting reported by your fellow faggots is so true. Airmen can't wait to report their wingmen. I swear they get off to it.

>>33346553

The mounted cav likes to fancy themselves the spiritual successor to mounted cavalry, and ultimately mounted knights. Knight imagery is pretty common in the cav as a whole, but if I had to guess there's probably a good chance that this photo is of 1-5 Cav.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5th_Cavalry_Regiment

They're in 1st Cav's 2nd BCT under modern organization, but their mascot is the black knight.

Fun fact: The USA has never gone a decade without being in a war.

Out of the 241 years of the USA's existence, we have been in at least one war for 225 years.

The longest span of time the USA hasn't been in a war is 5 years from 1935 to 1940.

Don't fall for the "USA will not be in a war anytime soon" meme.

>>33347184

The US is involved in several minor conflicts right now. For most of that span, the current status quo in 2017 is what would have qualified as being "at war".

When people ask about the next war, they mean something more significant than the current deployments. Nobody knows when that will be.

Quick Question.

For background, I'm in the ROTC program at a Senior Military College; so Armyish stuff around campus isn't considered odd.

I'm kinda shit at rucking, but would like to get better through practice.

Is it weird to practice rucking in PT gear?
Like, if you were on post at say like, Fort Hood, would you call a guy going down the road in PTs, boots, and a ruck a weirdo?

I didn't think anything of it but someone on a different website made an offhand comment about "weirdos that ruck in PT gear" one time and I was worried about coming off as a fuck.

>>33347260
why cant we just go fight drug cartels or communist in south america.

>>33347651
I'm pretty sure W Bush wanted to send the muhreens into Mexico to help combat the cartel but the Mexican government refused.

>>33347605

>Like, if you were on post at say like, Fort Hood, would you call a guy going down the road in PTs, boots, and a ruck a weirdo?


Considering I saw dudes doing that at Fort Hood pretty frequently, no, it's not weird.

Don't wear your running shoes unless you want to obliterate them though, rucking is rough on shoes.

Did everyone have to fill out a sheet of paper with all their credentials when they visited a recruiter, he had me sign one but ive got things to take care of, so please tell me I didnt just fucking enlist.

>>33351310
First of all, if you didn't read everything entirely three times before you sign it, you're retarded.
Secondly don't worry. You only enlist at MEPS where they have you swear in after the physcial. You probably just signed off on going to take the ASVAB or a general police background check or something.

>>33351310

I've just met too many people who sign shit without even glancing at the words. And suddenly they wonder why the hell they're stuck cooking food in a mess hall. I can't stress how important it is to read everything a recruiter tell you to sign three times entirely. They are the most underhand bastard you'll ever meet.
