Out of all the JROTC kids I knew in high school, I don't think I know of even one of them that went the O route. Lot of E in those futures.

They are also the quickest to tell you that something D&C related is wrong, because "we did it this way in JROTC".

In my 20s I did nothing but party, drive fast, fight, drink and get laid. I ruled. Now my body is ruined by the army for no good reason but at least I got a good bit of fun out of this meat sack.

I wasted more time than I like to think about in JROTC. To be honest the first year was good for me because it got me out of the troublemaker mode I'd spent middle school in. I should have quit right afterwards instead of dealing with shitheads until I couldn't take it anymore and quit anyway. Or better yet just developed into a better person on the cross country team which I didn't join because JROTC poo poo took up too much time. I could have been hanging out with normal people who went on to achieve something with their lives. I really used to look up to one of the instructors. Now I know that he's your typical senior enlisted (retired) know it all idiot. His main reason for becoming a teacher was probably that he enjoyed a captive audience to huff his own farts in front of.

I'd like to salute my junior high school history teacher, rifle team coach and 'Nam vet (bronze star, two purple hearts) for personally sitting down with everyone who wanted to enlist / go to a service academy / do ROTC and have a chat with them about the pros and cons of military service and how war was just loving horrible. o7

Yes but that was due to my years of Basic was easy and the best way to handle it was singing silly songs and sneaking dips when no drill sergeants were around. Otherwise let that one dickhead born officer douchebag "excel" at leadership tasks like fire watch lists and being "held accountable". I did teach my friends that it didn't matter what you did, they'll find someone to make the gimp, and getting mad is just going to make you mad, since I did basically 18 months cumulatively of that kind of fuckery for no reason before hand.

I saw some female officer on a base in a very dressy uniform with a bizarre conical head gear I've never seen since. She very well could of been a foreigner.

A guy ahead of me worked his rear end ofd in high school. Got 4.0s all the time, did a bunch of service projects, blah blah blah. Gets into the service academy he wanted, and drops out a couple years later because his girlfriend threatens to break up with him, which she does not long after that anyway. Last I hear he got an AA in something dumb. Service academies are dumb but if you're going to work your rear end off getting into on maybe finish it and your term of service out. It's pretty loving stupid to do all that hard work for the privilege of spending your college years getting hazed constantly, and then throw it all away with nothing to show.

There's the merchant marine naval reserve or something, they just do 2 weeks a year and gently caress off and get promoted. They also have naval rank. They keep changing the name so I have no idea what it is now. It's like military by cheating. I never bothered to figure out what their dress blues were, they wanted me to stop playing rugby because if I took government money and then got hurt I wouldn't have to pay it back and that was dishonorable and blah blah blah. Also, they were all fat cause they didn't want to get hurt.

This was all in college. They got 3k a semester or something to stand around in formation on Tuesdays and Thursdays and yell at each other about how they look like poo poo or whatever. The serious people just went USMC PLC cause the Marines didn't really care if we played rugby. I guess the MMR was an easy way if you wanted to go active duty though. A lot of my classmates fooled the Navy into making them Commander or Cheng or some poo poo.

Soulex posted:Dude forreal. I was "A Nice Guy" and it cost me a lot of sexual encounters. Same, but I didn't have any sexual encounters until after graduation. I think I posted a pic of myself in 2008 elsewhere here, but I was a skinny kid with shoulder-length hair (and not the kind that looks good), acne, oversized clothes, and stupid facial expressions. My usual fashion choice was cargo shorts or baggy jeans, a graphic t-shirt a size too large, and a hoodie (tied around my waist if it got warm). I basically reinvented myself between 23 and 25.

We just wore Navy uniforms with different collar devices, khaki and dress blues for school. I don't think I've seen anyone but instructors wear them after they graduated.

I had to represent a shore based marine organization at an event overseas once and had to wear a uniform. Ended up going to the men's store that supplied the local ferry; black pants, white short sleeved shirt, second mate's shoulder boards. Shoulder boards are a loving rip off and I'm an idiot for buying them. They charged by the stripe, too, for gently caress's sake.

https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/74dah0/got_arrested_for_a_misdemeanor_criminal/ Got arrested for a misdemeanor criminal trespassing on what I believe to be a misunderstanding, have some questions. (self.legaladvice) submitted 17 hours ago by Garthanthoclops quote:To preface this I am an officer in the Army, 23 YO male. I live in Georgia. This past weekend I went out drinking with some friends. I had surgery earlier in the day, but could not get back to base health clinic in time to pick up my prescriptions before it closed. It was not major surgery but I was in relative discomfort, so I drank a little heavy to numb the pain. I was slobbering drunk and smashed my way into the wrong apartment on accident. Is this going to affect my career?

This same thing happened on base housing the week I first got to Drum. Some drunk rear end soldier broke into the wrong house and passed out on the couch. The house owner came downstairs in the morning and she found some stranger sleeping in her living room. Soldiers are great people.
