I have a pretty good webdev job, make about 125k gross plus benefits. Downside is insane housing prices and living in the worst liberal shithole imaginable.

War might be breaking out in Korea, and I think it would be a good time to make a change in my life, and unfuck my shit. I know soldiers make no money and I'm older (27), so I'm weighing my options.

Can any military anons give me advice? What's it like?

I'll level with you....

If you're doing this cause you wanna see combat then make sure you get an x-ray contract or at the very least go in as infantry. If you don't you'll regret it.

Anything else is gonna suck. You'll end up doing somthing 4x worse than your current job and make significantly less.
>>
>>136649958
No it's not a good idea. Shit is not glamorous or glorious. Probably end up stationed in Kansas surrounded by fucking retards being bossed around by a group of dudes who can't operate microsoft word. Promotions are based solely on how much of a chad you are and in the event you do see combat those chads will probably forget everything they know and revert to trying to out chad your opponents in the firefight.

It sucks for the most part but in the end its worth it. It builds confidence and shows you how far your body and mind can be pushed. You won't know the real you until you're starving, freezing and sleep deprived.

Being an infantryman is something you can always take pride in and you'll have a skillset that the vast majority of the country will never have. This is extremely helpful when the racewar kicks off. You won't make a shit load of money but you'll get that GI Bill. I used mine to learn to fly helicopters AND go to school. pretty sweet deal.

Be more specific. What branch? Active or reserve? Enlisted or officer? What specialties are you thinking of? Are you an athletic person with a lust for action, or do you want to do clever things with technology? Are you good with languages? Do you enjoy homosexual sex? All of these are important questions that you should answer before you even talk to a recruiter.

Unless you feel you can cut in in a cool guy unit (Rangers or SF), no. Even then, still probably I wouldn't. In the slight chance things do pop off, the main action will be long over by the time you get to the line. (if you ever even do) Talk to any combat vet, shit ain't glamous. I'm an officerfag, I like my job ok but you ain't storming the beaches of Normandy either.

I would want to be infantry and see combat. Not sure whether to go active duty or national guard, on one hand National Guard will allow me to keep my job, but I'm 80% sure they'll trump up some charges to fire me once I join (because military = evil). Not sure if I'm too old for active duty, fitting in and what not.

I am somewhat athletic, I started lifting weights last year and I've done some 5K races, but I'm not elite material if that's what you're asking.

A Captain, (The third lowest officer) maxes out at about $80,000 yearly, this is just base salary

In additon, there is a monthly housing allowance that can be used for mortgage or rent, as well as free healthcare for the entire family.

Jump Pay, language pay, and overseas pay are all additional monthly payments.

If the poster has the right qualifications, he can easily make 100K yearly.

Dude it isn't going to be any better in the military.
My experience with living on post goes like this:

>go do laundry
>1 dude, drunk off fireball whiskey screaming high hell
>literally attacking anybody who stepped out their barracks room
>try to do laundry one night
>dude comes lunging at me
>2 arms full of laundry
>fuck me
>drop my shit and take a punch
>another dude comes out of barracks room to see wtf is going on
>I'm on the ground covered in shit stain underwear
>dudes screaming drunk shit
>other anon tells drunk dude to go back to his room
>drunk dude starts throwing punches at other anon
>I pick my up my swamp ass clothes and do my laundry
That's was pretty much every weekend when I was in the Army, when I turned 21 I just drank myself into a stupor tilL i finally ETS'd. You're not oging to find any improvement joining the military.

>I would want to be infantry and see combat
Do you want to "see combat" or be the guy who actively seeks combat? Practically everyone in the army whose job description is not literally "desk jockey" (i.e. adjutant general) has the possibility, and even the likelihood, of seeing combat, such as it is today. If you want to be in the thick of it, go any combat arms, but particularly infantry
>I am somewhat athletic, I started lifting weights last year and I've done some 5K races
You'll definitely be physically qualified then, don't worry about that. Do you want to be a leader/planner/cheerleader while others do serious fucking work, or do you want to be a technical expert/door-kicker? If the former, commission, if the latter, enlist. If you have questions about what it's like to be an officer, just ask, my man.
>>
>>136649958

Do you have a college degree? Then try and become an officer. You can probably do the exact same thing you are doing now, only for Uncle Sam and with a TS-SCI security clearance.

Do your 6-8 years, get out an O-3 with experience as an S6 (Battalion Signals Officer) and you will be able to get jobs in the private sector worth way more then you are making now.

Supposedly USERRA protects guardsmen from being unfairly fired, but like you said, they can trump something up. If it's an established company, though, their HR will know about USERRA and they'll be wary about anything that could expose them to legal trouble.

Someone upthread said to get an 11X contract. I'm not up on the current options, but I think 11X Option 40 puts you in the pipeline for a Ranger Battalion, and 18X puts you in the pipeline for SF. If you fail out, you are assigned based on the needs of the Army and your qualifications. If you are a real hooah warrior and you want to go kill people, those the experts.

You haven't specified officer or enlisted. Since you spend so much time watching anime and jacking off, I'm guessing officer.
>>
>>136653564

Remember also the pay does not cover the fact that he is also being given food, housing, medical care, etc etc etc. that 40k a year is literally spending money.
>>
>>136653512
Yes, that was covered by applicable skills. So unless they're looking to update their website and for some reason don't want to outsource to some cheap little Indian company then I'm sure the OP doesn't quite fit that mark.
>>
>>136652233
Why don't you just get a new job in a different city with a lower cost of living? Or get a remote job and work somewhere you actually want to live?

The fact you don't have wife or kids to tie you down makes this even easier.

Plus, if I opened my mouth and said what I wanted to say, I'd probably be up for mast. Also, get used to working with either the niggiest of nigs who get the credit for work you're repairing or great black guys who you can trust with your life.

The military is a shit career made for trash and niggers with no skill other than dying for israel. Unless you go for some special non-combat service like a mechanic or some Chairforce job you're better off in a civilian life , especially since you seem to have actual skills for a job.

>Should I join the Army?
>I have a pretty good webdev job, make about 125k gross plus benefits

No. If you're dissatisfied with your work, or feel as though you're not making an impact on society, go teach. Joining the military when you think shit is about to go down is also retarded. I get the honor and glory concept, I very seriously considered joining when I was around 18-19, but decided to continue my history degree and teach history. There's way too many liberal teachers, so if you want to help your country, don't be a soldier, be a teacher. Influencing the minds of the young is far more important than being a pawn in the army who just gets sent around to shoot people and eventually die. You're not choosing where to go, and you don't get to pick missions based on if you agree with their agenda. As a citizen, you are more influential on our society than that.

>>136652233
>When I step outside I have to constantly police my language and thoughts, never letting anyone know what I really think.
Yeah, that's 1000x worse in the military.

Ultimately, if you're looking to fight, get into boxing or some other kind of contact sport. I understand the desire for conflict, but you're a lot better off playing rugby or MMA than getting shot at by 60 IQ sandniggers for literally no reason.

I used to work with the happiest, most fun loving guy ever who recently came back for his week leave after marine boot camp. He was broken, looked like a skeleton, very quite and was depressed because he wanted to "just work on tanks or hummers or whatever at a base somewhere." He was told by his recruiter that is what he would be doing and when he got back from boot camp they changed his mos as some truck driver in combat zones. There was a moment all of us at work were trying to support him and let him know how proud we were to see him in his dress blues and he replied by looking up at the sky and saying "I'm going to die by a fucking ied." None of us knew what to say.

I guess the point of all this is for a lot of you guys to really fucking consider the sacrifices you WILL be making. I was going to join years ago but decided against it because of depression and just not being the greatest team player. One of the best things you could do for your country is not waste your military's time. If you're going to join the Marines you better as fuck be ready for it.

Won't happen if they are OK with you joining prior to actually swearing in. Guard looks out for you and your boss would be in serious shit if unless you are legitimately fucking off at work. I've been in the guard for 16 years and have never seen a soldier have an issue with an employer.

Granted, if you work for arrogant pacifists, then they may make you WANT to quit.
>>
>>136654536
>He was told by his recruiter that is what he would be doing and when he got back from boot camp they changed his mos as some truck driver in combat zones.

What the recruiters promise and what's delivered don't match. Further, because most potential enlistees don't know the MOS system they'll say something like, "I want to work in technology." The recruiter will spin a tale of some occupation that's basically secretarial that's "technology" because almost everything uses IT.

You need to know specifically what MOS's you want and you need to know you have the ASVAB score to qualify, so take practice tests. Also, if you have a bad financial history it's unlikely you'll get a clearance, and then it's shitty jobs such as field service, truck driving, dfac.

Army is a bunch of fucking criminals that are only there because it was better than jail and they're always doing stupid shit like injuring themselves to get out of service anyway, not to mention raping anything that moves.
If you feel you must join then go Air Force because at least they feed you well and give you nice amenities for far less work and rape

No. At most, join the National Guard as infantry if you really want to play soldier & get a taste of what it's like. And if war breaks out, you'll be called up. But don't give up a comfy civilian job just because you want to LARP call of duty every now & then. Active duty, no matter your MOS, is not eventful. You're in garrison most of the time, and it fucking sucks. When you do go to the field, you're there for a month and it sucks even more & you're never actually doing what you were trained to do until you deploy (if you're combat arms). If you're Guard, you are basically part time and you don't deal with the garrison bullshit because whenever you have drill you need to train. But it's still not worth it imo, at least not for you.

Dude I'm 18 and I'm joining the Marines bro, waiting for my diploma in the mail before I speak to recruiter but I think it's definitely worth the experience personally. No better way to get in shape and be paid with little workout and shoot shit. Plus the lifelong benefits and whatnot.

This, they pay you to work out, shoot and network with your bros. You will also get shit on alot but oh well. It's better you get the givs than Tyrone.

It's also a long march through the instatutions. Go active for the training, then go ROTC and finish up in the Guard.

Also save your fucking money. Do not buy a new car and buy it in cash. You can save an ungodly amount of money with minimal education and skill.

Lastly, don't get married and have kids until you are just about to get out. Have tri care finance your wifes pregnancies.

The CAF cares a lot more about current delinquencies than paid, historical delinquencies. Those are still bad but they're much more willing to mitigate them. So dispute your delinquent debt, and if that doesn't work, pay it. Accomplish all this at least a month before going to MEPS so your credit report is updated, and things will be easier for you.

As long as you're a US citizen, there's literally only one prohibition for a security clearance, and that's current unlawful drug use or addiction. Everything else can be mitigated or an exception can be granted, if you can convince the CAF it won't be a problem in the future.

I am thinking the exact same thing. Want to join the Royal Australian Regiment (Army) as a rifleman. If this doesn't work I will try to learn a trade in the Army (electrician, carpenter or plumber). I'm 31.

My main reason for joining is that I wasted my 20s trying to become an academic and the only jobs I am qualified for now are public sector jobs where you sit in an airconditioned office all day and become a fat sack doing things of little importance. Because I was a student for so long I have problems with self-discipline and procrastination. I want to join the military because it will transform me into a tougher, harder working person.

Army SOF soldier here: don't do it. If you want to get your adventure rocks off, take up rock climbing, go hike in Alaska or something. The military was at once the best and worst thing I did with my life. I had 9 deployments (rockbox+western Africa) with a few TDYs thrown in. Imagine the worst of stuffy corporate life mixed with general government incompetence with high school drama sprinkled on top. That's your life when you're not deployed. I'm almost convinced that the oppressive awfulness of garrison life is designed intentionally to make soldiers prefer the field or deployment.

Advancement is ass in most all jobs and based around stuff that doesn't really matter to your job (protip: be able to score at least 70 (ideally 80 or 90, not much point in more than that because you'll lose score in basic above that point) in every APFT event if you decide to go in BEFORE you leave for basic. Your life will be a breeze pt wise). Everyone above you and around you will be idiots, except for the one other guy who isn't and he's weird as fuck. You'll have problems relating to civvies when you finally are allowed to interact with them again...even after just IET. The longer you're in the worse it gets.

Deployments suck but are better than getting yelled at for stupid shit in garrison (no matter how strike you are, a bored Top will find something to yell about at some point), and by better I mean literally the most boring thing you can fucking imagine the vast, vast majority of the time (or the entire time if you're like most who deploy these days) punctuated by a handful of pants shitting terror moments (training will get you through combat, but it doesn't do shit for helping you keep it together after a firefight ends, that comes with time though).

There were some great memories made, don't get me wrong, but it's shit, I dunno man. I just wouldn't advise it.

Hit the nail on the fucking head. I enlisted after a few years of college, and boy did I come to appreciate everything civie life had to offer once I got stuck in some backwater garrison with a bunch of mouthbreathing retards tasked with picking up trash and cigarette butts and doing yard work because I didn't fucking deploy for my entire goddamn enlistment. Yeah, I was the weird guy. I was weird because at 22 I didn't want to get stomach pump drunk every weekend like the other junior enlisted and bang disgusting roastie townies. I just wanted to be left alone to do my own thing and not get a call from one of my so-called "battle buddies" who decided to fuck off to Tybee Beach to get shitfaced and total his car. Fuck garrison life. I can't speak like I'm authority because I haven't been there, I don't wanna be the guy to diminish what guys who've actually been deployed have done and how they feel, but I'd rather have spent 2+ years in some shithole warzone and come back to clear ACAP and go on terminal leave than have spent my entire enlistment carefully manicuring the grass for some cockbag sergeant major.
