Best motto in the 101st is the Balls guys.

I had to hear a few people tell me about Balls before I even believed it was true. I was in 4-320, a unit so bad that for a moment I took joy in the sadness of seeing 4th BCT disbanded.

Totally doing that from now on. Will sprinkle in some Sieg Heils and Heil Hitlers in there because hey, when in Rome. Will even use my left hand to make an improvised Hitlerstache in mid-salute.

Don't suggest "Hitler did nothing wrong" as the running password during JRTC. The OCs didn't look very pleased, and although my PSG laughed, my PL had a hard time understanding my reasoning that you would only be shouting it in an emergency, which is the point of a running password... I mean, it's not like OPFOR could possibly guess it.

If you're MI you should just assume every NCO is either a N who got promoted way too goddamn fast ("Seven in Seven" used to be my biggest red flag that someone was a worthless piece of poo poo) or a broken toy who reclassed into MI so they wouldn't get kicked the gently caress out


In all honesty the second type are usually way better leaders, although it's more of a guideline than a hard and fast rule

You forgot the legion of artillery, ammo handlers, and MPs who realized that they were never getting promoted in their old MOS, so they reclassed to fill in the eternal gap in MI between E4 and E7 that is created by everyone with an actually functioning brain getting the gently caress out.

There are so many opportunities for competent junior enlisted in MI to get away from the regular army, more than any other field I'm aware of, that if you're not wearing civvies and calling your boss by his first name when you're an E6, you're a guaranteed shitbag.

Try SATCOM. If you aren't making 6 digits starting in 'the world' after a single enlistment period with dat security clearance and unique experience. You are either a hopeless lifer or an utter shitbag with no prospects in life whatsoever. *Under 90% ASVAB need not apply.

If you have 3-5 years of experience in Intel or coms stuff and an active clearance you can probably be employed at a firm by the end of the week. Sure, it's CONUS pay and not fat overseas contractor pay but still.

OCONUS pay has sucked since at least late 2013. Unless you're going someplace that's otherwise a vacation spot, like Kuwait or Qatar, there's no point to going back to Afghanistan or Iraq as a contractor unless you really miss the smell of human poo poo. And if that's the case, I'm sure you could just move near a wastewater treatment plant here in the states.

If you're a 25 series anything with a clearance and any certifications higher than an A+ and N+, you should have no problem finding a high-paying job on the outside.

Despite receiving the order to re-align 13F's back to FA bn's, my brigade sat on it for a year and a half because " Mission". Erstwhile he other brigades knocked it out despite them having the same gay training cycle we had and poaching all the new recruits since they had retain-ability for their missions two years down the road while all their broke dicks were sent to us. With the new Div-arty commander finally being allowed to bite they are now finally doing it and it right when I'm about to take terminal.
Real answer is 1st CAV is a cesspool of nepotism and incompetence, In hindsight I should of taken up the offer for Airborne volunteers when I was in AIT.

15 days to go, whoo!
