Guard recruiters have slightly more incentive not to gently caress you over since they'll probably be working with you for several years.

one night farting around in HQ the head nurse was talking about her time in recruiting and how getting through nursing school was her motivator for getting out of it

she laughed for 30 seconds when i told her who my recruiter was and said she was amazed he signed anyone. super nice guy and a good infantry soldier but a recruiter he was not.

i was going in anyways so i hope i made that guys day at least.

Preach. Joined in January of 2003 (I remember watching Baghdad get bombed during basic and freaking the gently caress out), never volunteered to go to Afghanistan because everyone I talked to about it talked me OUT of going.
Plus I would have been stuck on KAF the entire time most likely.

My son is almost sixteen and we've talked at length about the military. I told him I stayed in because I had nothing else going for me in life and it was a way to provide a decent lifestyle for him and his mom but that there were several points in my life where I asked myself if this was really worth it. He has my GI Bill and is setup to earn a degree in something he is passionate about. The only thing he can't do is enlist in the military because I wouldn't be able to live knowing I wasted my time in and he didn't benefit from it at all.

You know that in all likelihood your urine was never actually tested right? Only like ten percent of samples actually make it to the lab for testing because it's prohibitively expensive. The making everyone pee In a cup is mostly a deterrent.

I'd had some sergeant try to rat me out by claiming I smoked with her a few times, I didn't even know she smoked. She gave up the ghost on herself by not showing up to the drug test formation call.

I found out the day prior to the drug test because I had a secret squirrel I traded beer for a heads up, yay HQ company. My piss came up clean.

14 years ago when I would've been sweating the risk, piss samples were still somewhat expensive. NIDA-5 dip strip tests are probably less than a buck apiece now, and lab sample costs have come down greatly since then, too. The threshold for weed used to be 50 nanograms per microliter, verified at 15, then zero. Getting below that first threshold was my only concern.

I'm sure things have tightened up a bit, but for most drug tests, dilution is the solution to pollution. Unless it goes to GC/MS, then you're just hosed.

I passed on an OCS slot for the USMC in the spring of 2000 and went to graduate school instead. For a year or so after 9/11 I felt really conflicted about if I should drop out and go to OCS instead. I always felt a little bit bad about it but by 2008 or so I was really glad I decided not to go that route. Most of my best friends from college signed up in 2000 and every one of them told me to stay out and that it wasn't worth it by 2002 which was the last time I really thought about going in.

Oh cool, so I wasn't alone in feeling conflicted years later about not signing up/commissioning. Good to know.

I'll never forget some reserve major trying to talk me out of leaving ROTC by telling me about the time he got to live in England for six weeks because of some TDY and he tried to tell me I'd never do anything like that as a civilian in the most :smug: way possible. It backfired because he was such a prick about it. Then some colonel had to talk to me and he ended up being really chill about it and told me he was sad to me go but if I wanted an OCS slot to reach out to him or to possibly come back once I was in grad school.


Joke's on that major though, my wife's family has an apartment in Edinburgh that I live in for like a month every year or so.

If they put a fraction of that time spent browsing and researching stuff on the deep state toward healthcare or economic policy...oh well you can't really change people's values

"Complicit" doesn't feel like a strong enough word for what they're doing; in a lot of cases they violate their own supposed terms by allowing that kind of trash to spread, because it drives ~engagement~ and more ad revenue.
