In other news I heard the President is coming down to hood Wednesday. The front of 3 corps is completely blocked by the view of 3 high stacked connexs. Id post a picture but I'm not sure if that's opsec

DoktorLoken posted:How much control do Army Reserve/National Guard SMP cadets get over branching? Is it possible to be guaranteed a slot in an open vacancy or at least a branch? In the Army Reserve you literally just pick your branch and duty station. I was on an active duty scholarship instead of SMP/GRFD, but the process is identical: I went to the Army Reserve tent at LDAC, pulled up the list of all EN positions, and found the vacancy. When I got back, they submitted a memorandum for the branch and vacancy and that was that. In the Guard, you have to get a LOA and the process is a bit more involved; I don't know much more beyond that.

Literally pick any branch(QM) and find a slot that requires it. Boom, done. You won't find infantry in the reserves though. On HRC units post vacancies that they want filled.

It's the Army's version of pranked. Except its real and they aren't actors. CSMs are either really cool or loving stupid as hell. I've had a few of both.

Is the extra oath to pretend you're active duty every time you see an actual active duty soldier? Cause that's sums up about every reserve dude I've met.

NG MI managed to be gayer, more stressful, and dumber than active duty artillery.

the national guard dudes attached to my unit with are actually cooler than some of the other AD units here, maybe that's just an aviation thing though

If they don't give a gently caress and try to stay out of the way they're cool. If they're trying to prove they're ~just as good~ it gets gay.

friend of the family DEATH TURBO posted:so his statement is accurate in general then idk I guess I don't understand the active duty smugness. I've dealt with just as many hosed up AD units on this deployment as I have Reserve and NG units. The thing of it is, there's a lot of retards in the military in general; the question is whether you'd rather spend all day every day around them, or only deal with them one weekend a month.

Public Service Announcement In case you guys don't bother to read the big red server announcements at the top of the page, CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. OpenSSL had a major security breach that resulted in people being able to use a rather simple Python scripts to trawl for log-in/password information for any site that uses OpenSSL for security. SA was effected by this but it was patched this morning, so any password you make now should be ok.
