loving NCOERs. 90% of the ones that come through me either the rated soldier or rater is in a school somewhere which makes getting these things done a pain in the rear end. On top of the million other things I have to do and the near constant stream of people coming to my office about some kind of bullshit

At least you're on a bus. My last convoy from FTIG to Ft Pickett took 16 hours. Lewis to Irwin would suuuuuuuuuck.

Mustang, don't worry, the Army has prioritized using all the money it's not spending on COIN on spending more money sending BCTs to NTC and JRTC more often, get some.

I finally found something I miss about the army. It's easy to find someone to commiserate with. Everyone has experienced suck in the army. I was never especially close to most of my peers (I only talk to 3-4 of them now that I'm out), but even just "work buddies" would be there for you. Now the closest thing I have are either the handful of friends scattered across the country or you fuckers.

All my LT buds are either out of the Army or have left the unit. So I pretty much just stay with my Platoon unless I have to go off and do something else My PSG and squad leaders are great dudes and it's going to suck when I have to leave

OCS only has 3.5 year contracts, one got a waiver and the others are recently promoted CPTs that I'm not sure if they needed a waiver to get out. But I know it's definitely not hard to get out if you really want to. Next summer will be another crop of 1LTs and new CPTs getting out

I knew a guy who went to OCS in the Guard without a degree, the deal being "finish your degree in four years or we take your commission." Considering you had to be halfway to a degree to qualify, it was an achievement when he lost his commission.

There are reasons to refuse schools or higher ranks if you want to get out. McNally posted:I knew a guy who went to OCS in the Guard without a degree, the deal being "finish your degree in four years or we take your commission." Ha, saw one of those. He somehow got blindsided when he met with his academic planner about 2 months before the due date and realized he couldn't finish the last 4 classes in 8 weeks, off-cycle from his college.

A couple of weeks ago I was doing one of those leader developemnt tasks. The one where a trailer only has one wheel and you have to move it round a course using a pole and some rope. Right next to the course was a civvy prison. I looked over into the netting and thought "If any prisoners in there can see us, they must be laughing like hell. They don't have to worry about carrying a trailer on a hot day in your rain gear. None of them even going to have to exert themselces today. They aren't loving up their back or joints with heavy loads all the time, getting smoked for PT or walk 3km between stands that are 800m apart. Today, I'd rather be in prison."

I got pulled over three times on R and R because the cops in my old town were cancer. I also went to a liquor store and bought a bottle of Jack, and the lady at the desk was all "military huh?" when I showed her my ID. Told her I was on R and R from Iraq and was only gonna be home for a week or so. She goes "alright, well next time you see Obama over there, give him a shot or two for me!" I didn't know what to say, still don't. Like what?

I liked coming home the weeks following the election, and people expecting me to have a political commiseration over Trump's victory in my uniform because our command insisted we be in loving uniform. Like I tried to stay non committal and optimistic, but eventually had to loving say something like, "You know not everyone in the military votes Republican.'
