bro i picked a random page just to see if anything funny gets said in this thread and they are straight up calling you guys the loving merchandise. They at least pretended to give a gently caress about me in the military and gave me a shitton of bennies for being willing to kill for them. And at the end of the PhD grind I get to get called Dr and poo poo. My ideas may or may not make a difference in the world but they at least let me go out in the world and take the wild rear end poo poo that spins off the top of my mind after I pinch off a fat poo poo serious.

i don't think you get to talk poo poo tbqh, about military dudes or nerd rear end academics. the PhD nerds are less than 2% of the world's population at any one time. The active duty population is less than .5% of the US population at any one time. Vets make up 7%. Vets showed they are about more than themselves and stepped the gently caress up. niggas like you stayed home to pout about pushing papers or some passive aggressive email you got at your soulless, boring rear end office job.

yeah, we're better, whichever way you cut it: mil or academia.

And now I am having flashbacks to a decade ago where I tried to convince GIP that NO, despite what Aaron Sorkin/NYT tells you, even the biggest dipshits don't get beat to the point of offing themselves, and NO, you can't tell post to "drop and give me 50" so that they'll be too busy pushing to call-in 1 DFL'ing manic SSGT walking down the road to massacre a village.

One of the last times I was in Okinawa all of the marines were locked down to base because of drunk staff sergeant breaking into someone's home in the middle of the day and assaulting a teenager in the shower.

Don't worry about that baby it was just a paperwork mistake. It'll get fixed next week with a few other errands and when you get back from this deployment everything will be great. Might need some other information for the paperwork though, where do you keep stuff like your birth certificate, social security card, and the title to your truck?

Three guys went out and got poo poo faced, started a minor diplomatic incident and now they're in the brig. Gotta fill their spots on the roster while the paper work goes through and who else is sober enough long enough to do it? Besides you're a marine 24/7, 96 hour liberty is a privilege.

Edit: that is what you guys call it, right? 96 hour liberty? I try to speak Marine to keep you guys comfortable in this re-commissioned thread but it's not my native language.

We a 120 once, it was glorious and a highlight in the eight years of bullshit. That being said, the safety stand-down afterwards made it completely not worth it lol. 90% suck, 10% meh. Balanced. Perfect. As all enlistments apparently are, if you're lucky.

Vaguely career-related question before the thread moves: How are clearances handled when you're enlisted? I know that when I was in the DC offices of my company, they had a lot of veterans around because we were always looking for people who had secret/top secret clearance. (Since a lot of our contracts were on federal projects that required the staff had those clearances.) Is it something that most folks will end up getting while serving? Or does it depend on MOS/rank/other factors?

Vahakyla

If nothing is holding you back and your background check doesn’t hit any roadblocks, most people get their Secret when they arrive to their unit or during Basic, or at least the paperwork done to it. The papers are initially filled with your enlisted recruiter before you even go to basic.

If there’s anything, like other citizenships or something weird or whatever, it’s not a problem, it just means literally nobody gives a poo poo about you as enlisted and will leave it at that. It will then show up as ”PSI pending” or ”PSI complete”, which means Personnel Security Investigation. As you do not need Secret clearance for so many enlisted jobs, the next time someone might care about it is when you deploy to a specific place or get a promotion or an assignment that needs it. They will then finish it by clearing the question marks, which sometimes might be just checkboxes or contacting the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency to finish it.



For officers, the default is Secret, during ROTC or the academy, and if it is pending, it generally holds your commissioning until finished. Some branches do Top Secret like the Air Force, but Army just wants Secret out of many officers.
