I know gently caress all about the army, so be patient. When my brother signed up at a recruiting station they had him sign a contract listing the MOS he wanted to get and all that good poo poo, if the military is hard up for folks is there room to negotiate the terms of a re-enlistment? Like I want MOS a,b,c,d, or e and if there isn't a spot within 45 days of signing the contract becomes void? Or is it more similar to getting a bunch of boiler plate and they hand you santa's wishlist?

Re-enlistment is a much harder thing. Basically the MOS you're currently in needs to be willing to let you go (read overstrenght) and the one you want has to be undermanned, and you need to meet the requirements for it. These numbers are different at each pay grade. Some might require you to be airborne and other identifiers. That said there are certain specialty MOS's that you can ONLY reenlist to that aren't open to initial enlistments. Special Forces is also basically always open but, I mean, its SF so that entails a lot of motivation and stuff.

My first encounter with one of those 18X kids was at our gym at BIAP. Between sets of curls or bench press or whatever he was doing, he'd roll up the sleeves on his t-shirt and start flexing.

A week later he got into poo poo because he left a KIK-13 laying on his rucksack outside their barracks

quote:

(CNN)Last year, Kraig Moss sold the equipment for his construction business in upstate New York and stopped making mortgage payments so he could follow Donald Trump on the campaign trail.
The amateur country crooner sang pro-Trump ditties while strumming a guitar emblazoned with Trump campaign stickers, earning him the moniker "Trump Troubadour."
International media dubbed him "the voice of unheard America."

But now, Moss refuses to play the guitar with the Trump decorations. He's soured on the President because of the newly proposed Republican health care bill.
That legislation, which the president supports, could result in dramatic cuts in addiction treatment services.
Three years ago, Moss found his son, Rob, dead in his bed from a heroin overdose. He was 24.
"The bill is an absolute betrayal of what Trump represented on the campaign trail," he said. "I feel betrayed."

Man gets thoroughly and tragically betrayed by US President

With an attention to detail like that it's a miracle that he noticed his son was dead. "Hmmmm, haven't seen Rob lately. It's probably nothing"

If the attacker is brown this will be the biggest headlines for the next week, perhaps longer if Trump uses it as an excuse for even stricter immigration measures.

If the attacker is white no one will remember this by tomorrow.
