There's not even a war on good god why the gently caress would anyone entertain the thought of joining the army.

Being in during the war was poo poo, I'd probably have blown my brains out in peacetime.

Seriously, the biggest potential fringe benefit is off the table. Your odds of killing some hajj or wedding guests were never very high even in the right MOS, but you could at least dream. Now everything is relatively peaceful and horrible.

Been wearing these Multicam FR ACU's or whatever they're called in the field recently, seems like a superior uniform to the new OCP's. Wonder why the Army didn't just pick this uniform to replace the ACU's. Flame resistant and also seems pretty good at repelling water, better than the material used for ACU's/OCP's anyway. They're comfortable as gently caress too, like wearing pajamas.

FR ACUs own once they're broken in. The problem is they cost almost $200 a set and fade really quickly. I'm going to wear my multicam FR uniforms until the wear out date.

I've always been of the opinion that the "you'll never make it in the real world!" types are exactly the types of people who stay in the army anyway because they're so loving functionally retarded they actually couldn't make it in the real world. How the gently caress does any enlisted person look around at range control/CIF/access control point guards, knowing they are all retired SGMs doing stupid government bitchwork making a pittance for how much time they have given to the Army, and decide that they wouldn't mind staying in and turning out like that some day?

I guess I am just pissed because I know so many people who actually had a decent brain in their head who could have made it in college decide to stay in to pay off their dumb sports car. It's the same thing with these people: They stay in to pay off some sort of debt and they tell themselves after it's paid they'll get out, but then they make E5/6 and see how less and less gay the army gets when you get a small amount of authority, they get a little more money per month (more than they ever have in their life!) and decide you know what, this isn't all that bad, and they never use their GI bill. It's tragic but hey, they might have been capable of getting a degree and a better life, but unfortunately now their brain's broke and the dumbass virus took hold.

In 2 years or so whenever I finish my mech. eng. degree and make more than they do starting, I'll rub it in their stupid loving "you'll never make it in the real world" faces.

The redneck retard who got jail time for killing some dogs and was supposedly suffering from TBI (I'm pretty sure he was already just loving retarded) told me that poo poo. Word for word "you'll never make it on the outside". Suck my dick from the back you slack jawed loving moron.

They dig themselves into a deep hole that a steady and safe check, no matter how small, painful, and miserable the existence that brings it, becomes necessary to keep them a float. They rid themselves of the chance to take a chance to make it in the real world by marrying subpar women, having any and too many children, and failing to understand what basic finance and meaningful personal development are. Delayed gratification is a foreign concept to these people. Pierre Bourdieu couldn't have been more right. Almost every senior NCO I know fits the bill. They forced themselves to stay in with the decisions they made.

The national guard turned me into the sex beast that I am now, lost a bunch of weight in basic training and actually started having motivation and went from being a WoW playing piece of poo poo to now a pretty full functioning retard. I got to go to Iraq and shoot people of different color and got a masters degree out of the whole thing.

gently caress, if my Marine packet gets rejected I may just go guard OCS because I love dicks shoved deep into my butt one weekend a month 2 weeks in the summer.

loving omg lol, doubling drill weekends and month long AT'S is stupid as gently caress, even for higher up enlisted/officers. I guess that means the paychecks that they can't submit because the "state is broke" will take 6 months instead of 4 months. It sounds like the marines are doing something better, el oh el

Are they married to each other? I definitely see a ring on that dude. I suppose only an enlisted man's wife would be completely fine with her husband going to the AVN's with a huge titted porn star.

So I suppose this is gonna be the current trends:

-Army will be asked to the AVN awards by porn stars


Now I suppose we just wait on the Navy, Coast Guard and the Airforce to drum up something and we'll go full circle
