That unit will be tons better than your current unit, dont worry, theres a distinctive culture there that has formed and remained strong that makes it better even though its comprised of the same jumbled group of retards moving around every three years as the rest of the military.

Ive been at a unit where a core chunk of the unit had been there for 4-8 years, I have a support MOS so I guess a better question what to expect from an armor unit.

Blows my mind that many officers dip. Y'all supposed to be aristocratic nobility above that redneck habit.

Maybe my unit was a fluke, but most all the dudes came from legitimately pretty decent backgrounds. That doesn't preclude them from being idiots; several were college E4s, one was an electrical engineer and another was a business major with a management background. Our unit (an infantry company in an airborne RSTA squadron) tended to be a dumping ground for RASP/SFAS flunkies, so that might have weeded out the undesirables a bit better.

As far as I can tell my old infantry company in germany was half and half white/hispanic with a couple of black guys and one korean dude. White guys were about 30-40% hicks and the rest were just run of the mill middle class kids from suburban homes.

Found out my unit today, a striker BDE in the 2nd ID at Fort Lewis. Looks like I'll be heading to it's RSTA squadron I'm guessing? edit: pretty happy with going to Fort Lewis, I was hoping to go to either Fort Lewis or Fort Carson if I didn't get Germany. The other OCS guys in my class weren't so lucky with their duty stations however... Mustang fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Jul 8, 2015 |

That's a nice get, Lewis is the second most requested post, and there's a good reason for it. I mean, army still sucks a fat dick, but it could be a lot worse.

Also meet me at the front gate so I can drive up there and you can suck my dick from the back for joining the army. Don't worry it's less gay than all the bullshit you'll be dealing with as an officer.

What's the deal with old infantry dudes online having a low opinion of ARC? I've heard nothing but good things about the course from people on post that have been to it. I think something to do with the recon course being taken from the infantry and given to the cav? or something like that?

As much as I hated being a scout, it made complete sense to give it to them. For reals, most of ARC is in scout OSUT, and the rest is taught at your first duty station. Well, so they tell me, I never went to scout OSUT. But you pick it all up in the day to day of being a big dumb scout.

P. much this. Recon is not the infantry's job and never has been. No reason for them to get their lacey blue panties in a wad.

It's also true, though, that the height/weight and tape tests are loving stupid and slightly more accurate than broken clocks at determining actual fitness.

Hospital command is funky in a lot of ways. If you come at it like a normal command, you're going to make a whole bunch of doctors decide they don't really feel like dealing with Army bullshit anymore. Even potentially costing the Army doctors tends to draw all the nut-crushing powers MEDCOM can summon, and I'm guessing she made people cranky.

It's like the army actually realizes that docs, nurses, and PAs can walk out and be essentially guaranteed a job as a civilian, almost no questions asked. I'm just a little surprised that they actually realized this.
