Once again I'm glad I didn't finish transferring to active from the reserves. The reserves are plenty stupid but having a civilian occupation seems to do wonders for the collective common sense.

I'm still the idiot who is reenlisting for another 4 years, obligated, at my RECC though.

I first walked into a recruiter in August, 2001 and was told it would probably be a few month process to get me shipped. Let me tell you how close to the speed of light MEPS can work if properly motivated.

This wasn't really my experience. My leadership did their god drat best to cram an entire month's worth of stupid into a weekend.

Oh there's a definitely a month's worth of stupid in a weekend, but then I get to go home. It actually kind of helps because the leadership is always so focused on big poo poo like RHRP, BITS, etc that all the stupid crap and games that happen when there's too much time to fill just fall off to the side and we can focus on actually getting stuff done for the weekend.

The common sense stuff I'm talking about is more about balancing priorities. I remember active duty being like "we need you to drive 40 hours without sleep through this hurricane to get to formation on time or you'll be charged" whereas in the reserves when someone has a reasonable issue getting there the response is "okay cool, let me know when they get here." Active duty NCOs were always obsessed with lying and covering for each other for being late whereas in the reserves we can just look at a situation and determine it's reasonable and not waste time with stupid games like that.

Which really puts you at a disadvantage when you go ADT and the cold slap of reality hits you.
Or they realize your a useless reservist and shuffle you off to the basement to organize trash.

I figured they weren’t but having a rocket-powered telephone pole is better than any live round in that situation.

Yeah it can get pretty bad. Does anyone actually know if they're PAC-3 missiles or MLRS what?
