Sea Scouts was better than jrotc and you learn actual useful life skills if you were anywhere near a body of water.

The thing about JROTC is that there's a curriculum they're supposed to teach, but maybe half of the units out there don't bother. They just spend all their time marching around preparing for pointless drill competitions. That's about as worthless as a study hall.

She's pretty much given up on academics with that attitude, I'm not sure how to break it to her that they all require a HS diploma/GED. I haven't had a chance to talk to her in depth at all but I still think it's funny.

I quit the boy scouts because I got tired of people telling me what to do while they sat on their asses. Then I enlisted, because I'm stupid.

I quit boy scouts because once we moved out of Webelos and into the larger den or whatever they wanted way too much of my time, and of course everything was organized by kids so everything was a clusterfuck. That's not a word you want to use to describe winter camping -20 weather. I think everyone who came out of our little den quit all around the same time. A guy I was in JROTC with decided against enlisting in the marines because he prayed on it and god told him not to. Which is probably for the best in general, and especially if you know him. After spending most of his 20s working food service jobs he decided to go become a corrections officer, and ended up with my dad as his supervisor. He says he's a nice kid but will probably need to be babysat to some degree until he retires.

Did JROTC for three years and then I thought that if this was just playing at being military that I did not want to spend four of my adult years getting yelled at over stupid poo poo like not wearing my hat outside or that my gig line wasn't perfect and wearing really badly fitted shoes and then on top of that having the potential to be shot at. It really is the best and worst recruiting tool for the military I feel.

Nostalgia4Butts posted:why does anyone do jrotc Colleges and employers love it because they think it shows responsibility and integrity. So it's big points in financial aid and job applications. It also got me out of so many classes in high school because the teachers thought it was loving great that I was doing so much ~whatever~ (sleeping in my car or playing basketball) around the school.

Yeah I got E2 for doing some checklist (memorizing phonetic alphabet, learning marching orders, that kind of poo poo) and passing a PT test prior to shipping to basic. I can't imagine putting up with 4 years worth of that.

Other than that it is nothing but younger females that wont look me in the eye or wont stand up right and I want to be like "what is wrong" but ya know I would never. My doc says she sees more sexual assault cases and women than ill ever know, some men too but the poo poo that happen to some women I cant imagine it. It makes my blood boil. That poo poo breaks my heart. I would kill a motherfucker if I saw that poo poo going on I do not get how people enjoy it. I am 6'5 225 and I just cant imagine being a girl in this world. You gotta be loving on alert 24/7 it seems. I dont know.

A girl I know tried to join the Marines, but ended up injuring herself in training and was medically drummed out before she ever finished. When I found out that she tried, I was floored. She's a tiny queer girl with very left-wing liberal beliefs (including anti-war), and she was trying to join the USMC. It felt as bizarre as snow on an 80 degree day.

My friend was stationed at Ft Drum and would routinely wake up with other soldiers who had broken into her room. Among other things. She’s hosed up and doesn’t talk about it much but yeah. Worst story I heard was how this woman contractor deployed, her male counterparts loving locked her in a connex and raped her for days/weeks until finally someone caught on. I got that my first year in at a command visit to Talil or Al Asad. I’d gently caress anyone up too if I saw that. I don’t care how much bigger they are than me. You don’t rape/sexually assault people. I don’t understand the mindset of why people think it’s ok and do it. Alcohol facilitates but what loving thought process do you have?

Local dude in Afghanistan tried to have a go at a female soldier and she hosed his world up. He was on the ground bleeding before he knew it. She didn't say anything for a while because she knew someone would murder the dude. Just wish this happened any time some demented gently caress tried to rape someone.

One of my close friends at Ramstein woke up one day to hearing her door close. She went to our 1SG and pulled the video at the dorms, and it turns out the dorm manager (e6) had been going into her room and watching her sleep. It'd been going on for weeks before she finally heard the door.
