/meg/- Military Enlistment General

Go to college

-Enlisted Nuke

Ded

Say something nice about the Coast Guard, /k/

>>34006042

Go to college while you're in, because you didn't pick a shit job with no free time.

-Enlisted CTN

>>34006341
On the flip side powerschool and A school gave me enough ACE credits to be a junior.

>>34006341

Do CTNs get deployed to a ship a lot?

>>34006559

Most CTNs never set foot on a ship. It's part of the noboats Navy.

I'm 32 and considering enlisting in the Army. I know I know. After getting my college degree and trying to work with that, I found I am not passionate about it any longer. I always wanted to serve deep down and now I want to take advantage before I'm too old and regret not doing it.

I talked to a recruiter and they gave me a run down of MOS with enlistment bonuses. These are the ones I'm interested in. Any advice? Also, looking to pick something that would help with with a civilian job in the future.

12N Horizontal Construction Engineer
35G Geospatial Intelligence Imagery Analyst
94E Radio and Communications Security (COMSEC) Repairer

I had a few arrests but no convictions in my past. A shoplifting charge and marijuana possession over 10 years ago. Did I mess up my chance at security clearances?

if i scored a 93 on the asvab what does it mean

Do CTRs go on ships?

>>34006950

If you got a 93, are you only joining the Marines to tell people you're a Marine?

>>34006783

Maybe initially, but after 2 years in you should be fine to get a SC

>>34006341
anon, what jobs in the enlisted route give you ample freetime at the end of a day?

>>34007241
what if I was?

honestly i just want to serve and Marines are cool as hell

not him, but got a similar score, and Dad was a DI among other things in the corps, he casts a big shadow. Navy and Marine recruiter wanted me to do nuclear engineering and some other pog thing that would pay well after I'm out. Have that itch to enlist but it's only because I have no idea where the fuck my life is headed and I've always wanted to be an operator and have that skillset. I'm addicted to high adventure shit like cavediving and mountain climbing so the only thing I'd be interested in is MARSOC or even breaking family tradition to try SEALs. Was planning on going to school in the fall to get my high purity welding certs and construction trades diploma but I'm tired of that work. I'm 24, wut do? I listened to the vast majority of vets I met telling me not to join up but I'm already regretting not joining up earlier.

who /coastguard/ here? I go to meps in a week, I was told to expect to be the only coastie applicant there.

>>34007837
Get your diplomas. Join up. Do what you want. Thing about military in general? Your results may vary. I've met people who were super excited to join up, but left after their contract expired because they didn't like it... as I've met people who only joined up out of some sort of necessity, and ended up re-enlisting time and again.

You won't know if YOU like it until YOU try. If you have the itch, scratch it before you're too old. Because the faggots that don't join up and wish they would've? Those are the worst, by far.

>>34008092
I've heard that it's extremely different compared to the other branches in overall "feel".

Much more relaxed, although not nearly as flexible as other branches.

Got out of Marine DEP today to pursue an 18x contract. I know it's their job, but seeing a Gunnery Sergeant throw a hissy fit just made me want to be a marine even less.

>mfw he told me that recon marines are the same as green berets

I don't know if he was misinformed or if he was hoping I was, but I was trying to be respectful and not tell this dude I know more about SOF than he does.

So where does /k/ stand on the FFL?
been thinking about joining since im 100% fine with starting a new life out of scratch.
After immigrating twice i realized some military service would help me out a lot in the future

>>34008696
Fuck no. They aren't hurting for numbers like the Army.

>>34008696

Only for critically manned jobs. If you're interested in intelligence, languages, or SOF then yep, bonuses are on the table. Otherwise lolno, they aren't the Army.

>>34009308
I'm interested in intel, currently looking at SIGINT for the Army with a 15k bonus. What would I get in the USAF?

>>34009331

Last I checked only PJ is matching 15k. Something between 8-11k for something like 1N3X or 1A8X last I checked.

>>34009340
The exact dollar amount is really important. I have a bachelor's and even though I would be an E-4 in the Army and E-3 in the USAF I've heard the quality of life in the Air force would be better I would be able to get BAH sooner than the Army.

>>34009355
If you have a bachelors why not go for Officer and make more?

>>34009355
I mean to say isn't important*

>>34009355

If a few thousand dollars is enough to convince you to enlist in one branch over another, particularly to enlist instead of commission, then I don't really know that the USAF is for you. Delayed gratification man...

>>34009368

Oh. Yeah, there is a bonus, just not as big. The USAF doesn't need you that badly.

>>34009367
I currently despise my job and not sure I can put up with it for another year or two to wait for OCS/OTS boards that I may not even be selected for.

>>34009331

The USAF doesn't generally have much for signing bonuses. They've got more people wanting in than they can take and can be picky without incentives like that.

>People don't think it be how it is but it do

Is it a good idea to put on a bit of extra flab before going to basic?
Like on top of your normal training, eat more to get a little chubby?

How hard is to get your desired job in the Navy? I know it partially depends on your asvab scores but do i get to hand-pick my job based
as long as it matches my score or will they just give me options based on aviability/needs of the navy?

Also, i want to join as a Navy EOD. My recruiter keeps telling me that if i want to go with jobs such as SEALS or EOD i should rather chose another job and later try to reclass... is this really a reliable option?

I don't get nigger humor. Did you make this vdeo?

>>34010219
you should be able to do Dive Mo program prior to boot while in DEP to prepare you/screen you for Navy SpecWar (EOD). Do NOT go undesignated or another rate and then "try" to convert to SpecWar, they won't let you as much as they say they will.

>>34010096

No. They don't starve you in basic. Lots of people gain weight if they show up as skellies.

>>34010219

Your chances of being able to reclass later are about the same as you being able to make EOD. That is to say, very, very slim.

Is national guard worth it for any reason?

>>34010341
>>34010490

Thanks for the insight; i knew he wasn't being straight.

I know Navy EOD is tough, but i want to at least get the chance to try. I need a challenging job, something that would make me proud to pull off, which is why most jobs (even in civilian life) make me feel a void inside, they are always too easy. If i fail, then it wasn't meant for me; but it will not be for the lack of trying, i will give my fucking best.

Again, thanks for the insight guys.

Which branch is on par with being in a corporate environment, complete with HR personnel on patrol for anything that could be considered "offensive" like using incorrect gender pronouns?

>>34010676
Marines

>>34010676
Air force

>>34010597

Pretty good gig if you want some minor education bennies or after you're done with active duty and want to do it for clearance/healthcare reasons. It's also god tier if you're a federal employee.

It's not a real job though, and it isn't easy to go active if you want to. Don't join the guard if those are your goals.

>>34010676
Why does everyone know how to stand at Parade Rest except for the grey guy on the right?

>>34010692
I'm 31 and due to varying factors i wasted my life up to this point and i'd very much like to fix what i can. I also worry about the current political climate and i'd like to get some military training so i can protect myself and others should shit ever hit the fan.

Goals:
Get good at tactics and strategy
Get good at shooting
Get military fit
Have income while doing so (mom is very old and needs help)
Am old and completely out of shape. I'd need years to get fit enough for basic army on my own, i think. But i'd rather go navy if i went full service because my dad was navy.

>>34010667
The big thing is to look it up, know the schools, and present that to the MEPS guy/recruiter. Pretty much you'll have to be put in touch with a Dive Mo rep who then gives you yay or nay and not the normal MEPS route.

Then when you get to boot, for the love of god get the SpecWar division and not a normal division. It really does make a hell of a difference in being able to upkeep your fitness the first couple weeks instead of just getting sick and wasting away before the preliminary test.

How likely is it that a significant other will cheat on you while you're in the military? Have you ever seen a relationship work?

>>34011168
Very likely if you do not get a shore based duty. I've seen a few work but you have to understand the Military does not destroy relationships, it just speeds them up drastically.

>>34010771
Anon, just get into shape on the treadmill. it will be your best friend. Specifically, modern treadmills have pace settings ranging from 0.5 mph and usually cap out at around ~12 mph.

the official us military website has a good potato-tier workout regimen for fat ass fatasses that will allow even the most absolutey out-of-shape Tumblrina hambeasts make it past AF/Navy basic in 3 months by abusing the treadmill

After a warmup, it has you running at an incredibly slow pace designed specifically to keep you running. You must not stop running at any point during your runs, trained or otherwise, as it will immediately disqualify you.

The whole run needs to be a *minimum* 1.5 miles, which is the ENTRANCE requirement for every single branch of the military. To graduate basic in the army and muhreenz, you will need to run 2 and 3 miles, respectively.

ideally, regardless of the distance you'll want to train to hit a minimum of at least 8:00/mile, or about 7.5 mph.

As long as you have no actual medical issues and you're wearing running shoes, you are more than capable of making it.

Be good at social networking

That's how you get into the good schools and get the worthwhile recommendations. That's how you get your tabs. That's how you get your command roles. That's how you get your lasting effects on the world.

Stop being passive for starters.

No, I didn't have any serious plans to join the military until recently, and I'm coming up on my senior year so it's too late for me to join the corps/ROTC

No one fucking cares. If basic is the peak of your time in the military, that means you fucked up

>>34012034
There's no real OPSEC/PERSEC gain, but it's discouraged by the military because it's a bad habit to leave a trail of your unit's activities all over social media. May as well start the habit early.

It sucks, there is nothing you can do to make it suck less. You'll survive. Don't get wrapped up about it.

Are there any legitimately good MOSes in the USMC?

>>34008696
Yes but you have to sign a six year contract for specific in demand jobs like maintenance, and the bonus is only a few thousand before taxes

>>34006258
It's the best of the branches, the most career driven, and the one that actively wants to retain you, because the time/money invested into training you for their fairly small operations means you're worth keeping. Let's you straight up choose your A-School, gets to do some dope shit.

On the other hand, you could get put on an icebreaker in Alaska and just fucking suffer.

>>34006783
For initial enlistment, yes you fucked your odds of an SC. But, the good news is if you enlist and keep your nose clean, they'll clear you.

That essentially rules 35 series out for you altogether.

I would, if I were you, look at MOS that offer the best career path when you get out. Reason being is, due to your age you're not likely to stay in for a full 20.

Do you have a 2yr or 4yr degree? How many credits total if not a 4?

>>34008092

you look ugly enough to become a marine, but you are probably also fat enough to join the air force. Or are you gay by any chance? then the coast guard would be the thing for you

>>34007952
yes. talk to your recruiter. if you actually went to the free clinic or went to see a doc, bring in the documents. they'll work with you.

>>34008636
good luck. you're probably going to have to talk to an sf recruiter. an army recruiter should set up an appointment for you.

>>34012574
depends on how pog you want to be. you can be a uav pilot in the marines. you'll fly recon drones; which means no missiles; but you become a fucking uav pilot. the uav dudes i was with on deployment were contractors, but a good number of them went marines to get their uav training.

>>34013275
sounds like the national guard/reserves.

>>34013475
Been in for 6 years and that was enough time for me to experience everything the Army had to offer and im not impressed.

Bitch, a general's pension is so high he doesn't have to work at all if he doesn't want to.

>>34013493
Virtually no UAV pilots get deployed any more dude. Its ALL contracting work. Stateside most of the heavy duty stuff is done by contractors while the marines and their bitchboy's.

>>34013516
His rank means jack shit in the civilian moron.
Those stars aren't going to fucking pay his mortgage or buy groceries or help him get a real job.

>>34013519
still, pulling 5-6 years in the marines as a uav pilot and then flying for the contractors would be a fucking nice gig; if it's still possible to get uav pilot that is. the uav guys i worked with had only been working contract stuff for like a year. they got picked up by a recruiter while they were in school using their gi bill. 1 guy even dropped his semester so he could go fly in iraq to make 6 figures. shit is ridiculous.

>>34013508
What if I'm joining the navy to be a pilot

>>34013553
Its very rare and you'd be making a gamble.

At best, you get a stateside "deployment" or maybe even lucky enough to land a deployment over seas.

But in reality you will be stuck with a super specific MOS that doesn't translate over to the civilian world and you won't have any relevant skills or experience.

>>34013531
most generals have been in for at least 20 years. it's kinda the requirement to be in at least 20 to make your second star. and considering at 20 years you get half pay, full medical, and full benefits, you tend to sit pretty on a pension. half base pay for a full bird is like 50k. you don't really need to work at that point.

>>34013572
>wanting to get back to the civilian world

>>34013580
If that were true, than my boss wouldnt be working lol. He was a 2 star in the Marines and now he's a manager for some security guard company where he oversees fat ass mall cops and old people.

>>34013585
Army life sucks.
Once you grow up and move out of your mom's basement you'll realize the civilian world isn't so bad.
Avoid the Army and stay the fuck in school so you can get a real job.

>>34013587
idk dude maybe he's just fucking bored or has alimony. maybe he got chaptered. are you sure he was a major general?

>>34013619
Yeah im sure.
When I got hired I saw all his medals and photos in his office.
It made me kind of depressed because if some shitty security job is the best a fucking general can achieve then I got no chance.
Fucking Army.
Not even once.

I was in your shoes a few years ago, but I started college with afrotc. When my 21 credit semesters in sophomore computer engineering had a sub 3.0, they said get your grades back up and you're fine, then they kicked me out a week before finals. My scholarship turned into a loan, I was honorably discharged from the faggot club and it all left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I took some time off from school because I realized programming makes me depressed and got my pilots license, got a part time job at with united airlines at the same time because planes are cool. Now I reaccommodate overbooked passengers by force and travel the world to visit war museums and drink beer.
My advice is to realize that you will be in the real world at some point, so be sure to use the military as a stepping stone and learn skills for your future.

If you don't want to be a Marine join a different branch.

Anyone know which rate in the Navy is responsible for flying or co-piloting their UAVs? Do they also have a rate for doing the same with their submersible drones?

The recruiter I spoke to said it's an Intel position, but research suggests it may be AWOs who fly UAVs. I don't know about the underwater drones, though.

Chairforce losers that had a worthless MOS and forced be mall cops or Army retards in a similar position.

I'm more willing to believe you didn't read his rank properly than I am willing to believe that your boss is a former 2 star.

2 star retirement usually imparts a passive six figure salary for life. You can either golf for the rest of your years or consult with a firm in the defense industry. A retired 2 star is pretty much an automatic hire for >200k in the DC area.

I'm joining the army because I want to be SF like my dad. I thought I wanted to go to SE asia and help teach english as a second language but I realised while I was in school I wanted more.I'm going to start by going to the Defense Language Institute (I hope to get an intelligence job (then cross train small arms or medical Pic Related). I'm exited to become the best soldier I can be but I'm looking on forums/watching youtube videos and its disheartening to see all these lazy halfassers I'm going to be serving with. I just want to surround myself with moto people. I dont give a shit about America or her lazy , uninformed and self loathing populous, all I'm concerned with is reaching my full potential as a soldier.
What i really need to know is: How do i find heavily motivated/disciplined people?

Look, I'm guessing you've never had a job and you're probably not even old enough, but that isn't how the real world works. It is true that nobody is going to hand you your dream job when you get out, but if you have ANY ability to market the specialized skills you've acquired from your time in the service, especially if you're a fucking 2-star, then finding a job better than middle management at a Best Buy is incredibly easy. I work for the fire department, which is a very good job, and the number of ex-infantry we hire is crazy.

>I'll wait and hope someone else does my paper work for me

I sense a long hard enlistment in your future, friend. Keep being passive.

>>34018544
make that a priority when you are at reception. the last thing you want is not getting your ranks when going through your basic issue. if it gets fucked up you might have to wait until you get out of training to get your paperwork straight.

they'll give you your backpay when everything gets settled. but don't let that shit stew until you get to your unit. the last thing your new team leader or sponsor wants to deal with is having to take you to finance every other day. make sure all of your paperwork is in at least triplets too. some people run out of copies for things.

>>34018590
I appreciate the advice. Recruiters say I should be able to have things updated at MEPS before I leave, but I'm willing to deal with it if I have to take care of it at reception

if you want to go medical, go for it. it's pretty easy to get nurse with the training you get at sam houston. it's a lot of hard work. you're expected to be a battlefield savior, so you should strive to be at peak fitness as well as knowing your trauma as if it were muscle memory.

up to you man. you can join as an enlisted and drop an ocs packet when you get your degree. you won't be guaranteed to get your packet approved. you also won't be guaranteed to go active if you've been in the reserves though. if your school has an rotc program, go to their office and ask around about going rotc. that's probably a better plan than going reserves while you're still in school.

Say you wanted to be a medic (68W, corpsman, etc.) in the reserves. Which branch would you choose? Why?

doesn't really matter unless particularly want emt. if that's the case go army. there are lpn programs for the reserves, but i don't know much about them. i didn't know they existed until i met someone at sam houston that was going to be transferring to a different training unit after he graduated whisky school. you are kinda required to have some form of prior school credits though.

You will most certainly be a beat cop as a rookie officer. They won't care if you were an O-3. Pretty much everybody in law enforcement is a veteran if they were hired in the last 10 years due to vet preference and the over saturation of veterans in the job market.

To be hired into a department as a Sergeant directly is going to require years on the job, no matter where you look to get hired.

they've got a shitty job that they got because they came down on orders. they have to deal with sniveling little shits all day that have an asvab of 50 that want to do special forces black ops call of duty style. give them some credit dude. the only thing you are to them is another number for the recruitment line.

>try to join Marines out of High School
>doing well, pass physicals at MEPS
>at the end where they ask you if you failed to tell them something, I got scared
>no one told me to keep my mouth shut
>tell them about ADHD meds I used to take in high school
>immediately taken back and DQ'd
>Marines say they can't get me a waiver
>Try Navy, can't get me a waiver
>Try Army, the recruiters just drop contact with me after a while for some reason
>Discouraged, give up for a few years
>Working shit jobs and living on community college money
>Recently start talking to a National Guard recruiter
>keeps telling me it won't be a problem to get me in
>gets me hyped up, finally going to get into the military
>get a shitton of documents sent to MEPS
>been messaging him once a week for over a month now asking "Any updates?", nothing
>starting to get discouraged again

I am so fucking sick of being dragged through the mud over some stupid fucking meds I took in high school that I didn't need, because the shit was overdiagnosed. I am fit and mentally sharp, and willing to serve my damn country. This is fucking ridiculous.

I am on the verge of getting my passport and flying to France to join the Legion.

Well, if dealing with bureaucratic red tape is this disheartening for you, then you might not even want to join the military period.

>>34027818
if you can get a doctor to sign off on not having adhd now you should be in the clear. you got dq'd probably because they thought you were lying to them. it'll be hard to get back into the recruiting process, but it is possible. go talk to the recruiter face to face and ask him what the hold up is.

>>34027762
Recruiters are often sniveling shits themselves. Lots volunteered for that duty due to
1. Being shitbags
2. Wanting to fuck some underage chicks
3. Wanting to sit on their ass and do nothing away from command's eyes.

Recruiters are like anyone who volunteers for honor guard, strictly shitbag duty to help improve your image after you fucked up so hard that your former commands know you by name/face.

>>34027845
Trust me, I've been considering giving up on the whole soldiering thing for a while. But I'm going to try just a little bit more.

>>34027880
I did have a doctor sign off on it. The doctor who diagnosed me with it originally gave me a letter stating I no longer needed it. Along with 40 pages of medical documentation that the clinic sent to my recruiter to send over to MEPS. I have no idea what is taking so long.

Security clearance question I know we have to be honest during the investigation and polygraph but will the one time in college where I paid for sex with a stripper ruin my chances at a clearance even if I'm completely open about it

>>34028709
Arkansas. Funny enough, I'm talking to a NG recruiter in Missouri because its the closest Armory to where I live, and I'm right next to the border anyways.

>Another NWA person

>>34028885

Why in the name of god would you ever tell them about that?

>>34028885
Since it's a victimless misdemeanor, most likely not simply because it's illegal, however, it does show that you're romantically/sexually vulnerable, and thus suspectible to feminine exploitation

for secret clearance you'll be fine, but for top secret? couldn't tell you myself

>>34017899
What if you leave as an O-3 and then join the FBI? Any benefits there?

i don't think there are many women on the planet that are capable of the level of selfless loyalty required to be in an extremely long-term relationship with a military spouse and it saddens me

Why in the fuck is marriage so high on your priority list, you unimaginative fuck?

If you aren't a commissioned officer, you don't need a wife.

it's just a psychosocial observation anon

Which branch is essentially just a corporate environment, complete with HR nazis?

You're assuming losing weight is the issue here. I've lost like 30 pounds already. I suppose I should have said my recruiter doesn't want me getting pushed back by 10 days at the MEPS.

Does anyone have experience as TACP in AF/ANG?

>>34015599
Depends on what you mean, I'm currently in my training school and most of the LPO's and Chiefs are pretty chill. Even the Officers on base don't really give a shit. Basic however is pretty standard military shit you'd expect.

What's the best AFSC if I'm interested in going in as enlisted and making it a career?

>>34027892
>>34027499
What branch are you guys? My recruiters for the Navy are great, they sent me to meps within a week of first talking to them.

>In order to get stationed overseas, you have to pass the Weapons Qualification Test

Is this true? Is it difficult or pretty basic?

Never fired a rifle before, just shotguns and pistols.

please help, i leave for basic training tomorrow and i can do 35 pushups, 30 situps, and a 18 minute 2 mile run, how fucked am i please give it to me straight i seriously havnt been able to sleep for days, also my penis has an odd shape to it how bad will i get bullied, going in as 11x

>>34031059
>35 pushups

Next time, try to go for 40

>30 situps

45 is your new goal.

>18 minute 2 mile

A 9 minute pace? Well, it'll get you into basic, but it's going to suck. Push yourself for 15, or even 14 by the time you graduate.

What is barrack life like?

>>34028885

Not an issue, you can get a TS after having hired a prostitute.

no guests allowed after midnight. unless it's the weekday then no guests after 9.

>>34029128
NEA, actually.

>>34031688

Ah, our distant cousins. A noble but simpler folk.

91 on ASVAB

Near perfect PT score (95 pushups).


Joining Navy for sure, thought about intelligence because it has a good after military job. Thought out more actiony type jobs like (SEALS,EOD,SWCC) truly gratifying, but life after? Eh.


Might just go back to college since I am 19 and reevaluate what I truly want to do.

What's it like in the Airforce and what jobs should I go for?

>>34031938
Air force life is comfy, google all the AFSCs and read them all.

how much does mos matter if you are doing an option 40 contract, the only ones available right now are 91c and 92g which both seem pretty lame

So how exactly does PT/Exercise work in boot camp?

Is it literally every single day? Wouldn't that completely screw up your muscles because of overexertion?

Do they even have rest days with minimal PT and nothing but stretching/light exercise? I would imagine you'd probably be physiologically safe to spend several hours doing drill, and besides that and 12 hours of fuck-fuck games I can't imagine there's anything else to do, right?

>>34032229
USMC btw

What happens if a large part of the platoon (≤10%) are either minimally in-shape or less motivated and cause the DIs to resort to death-by-PT? Wouldn't that seriously fuck up your body if it happened repeatedly and people just couldn't get their shit together?

Say it's different people fucking up every time. Is there a limit to it?

I'm not worried because I've been smoked to chunks but I also know that it's extremely unhealthy and quite literally dangerous, especially for the ex-couch taters that slip into basic with 2 pullups, 30 situps, and a 15 minute 1.5mi run

>>34032258

I like how /MEG/ consistently thinks that DIs and DSs are robots programmed by a teenager.

They're people, most of them have been adults and been in the military for 10+ years. They get a bunch of training before they're allowed to take the job. If you die on their watch it means a huge investigation that could easily change their cushy "retire at 40" life plan into working at a gas station until they're in their 70s. Nobody wants that, nobody wants to be within ten miles of something like that.

Despite the hilarious anecdotes you'll hear from people, DIs don't fuck around when it comes to safety. They'll push you hard enough to make you improve, but not hard enough to do any real damage.

>>34032285
i don't think boot camp is about fitness anyway. it's more about mental toughness than anything, teaching you to suck it up and move on from the pain

What happens if you gotta PEE while getting smoked by the DI?

I'm hoping to get some serious replies, coz I drink a shitload of water throughout the day and feel like taking a piss often (nothing wrong with my bladder, I just purposely try to stay hydrated)

that's pretty much it. you get some fancy promotion points too.

wanting to pee will be the last thing you will want to do during a smoke

when will the next war be? i dont want to enlist in peacetime.
