gleep gloop posted:I see a lot of dudes like that. He was in, did something mundane or just missed any action so he makes up stories to draw attention. Like half the vets in college on the GI Bill do that. According to them like 95% of everyone in the military has shot someone, despite being an intel analyst or radio repairman. I just politely smile, listen and laugh to myself when people do that, but eventually he'll tell his tale to someone who really got into some poo poo and will get bitched out. Yup. One of my buddies in my Master's program was Fallujah vet infantry Marine and he didn't say much about it. He did love getting drunk and cockblocking fake military and pogues trying to tell war stories like this "airborne" guy we're talking about. "Every pogue says they're infantry and every infantry says they're special forces"

Christoff posted:I thought in the Navy there was a time period where if you wanted to re-enlist or go reserves you'd have lost your rank/rating Dunno, but my reserve unit's got a couple enlisted guys with 10 year gaps in service who came back at their old rates.

Christoff posted:Yeah those 80 year old dudes were in the reserves Like I said, we just had an ISC retire with 20something years of service who enlisted in the Ford administration and I've got an IS1 who just joined the reserves with at least a 10 year gap since he was active, all he had to do was get his clearance back. As far as I can tell you get to keep your rate after any amount of time.

TsarAleksi posted:For a more accurate equivalency, the ranks run parallel to normal O ranks, but generally are treated with more respect and as technical experts. Yes technically all CWOs are junior to all commissioned officers but I've never seen someone pull rank like you imply. A CWO can be a really vital asset for a command beacuse they are outside the normal structure and much more in a position to call someone (be it a JO, senior officer, or a chief) on stupid ideas and decisions. I've never seen a WO1 or a CWO5. The warrants I have seen got treated about the same as O3-O4.

Christoff posted:What rank do you have to be to not wear white undershirts. CWO5? 0-6? I think there's a rate issue, too. Like, a BMCS can lose the undershirt but an ISCS sure shouldn't.

Benny the Snake posted:Wait so paratrooper's don't these days? If not, I'm gonna ask the military history thread then. I'm actually taking a stab at the military sci-fi genre so I'm wondering if I could base hard drops on paratrooper ones. There have been combat drops more recently than the Marines have done opposed amphibious landings, but both are pretty irrelevant in today's battlefield.

Ron Jeremy posted:Is there a source to see what/when units won awards? I was looking through the end of "Blind Man's Bluff" where it lists all the crazy number of unit awards given to USS Parche. I was wondering if that stuff is listed somewhere by year. Or more generally, Can I see what ships won say, the Battle "E" in a particular group for the last ten years? You can check https://http://awards.navy.mil but there are definitely omissions.

Nuclear War posted:You're not an idiot, I am though for leaving out basic info from my post. See, thing is I'm moving from active duty to reserves after several years . My fiancè is American and I just got my VISA, Since my military certifications (which should equal an american EMT-paramedic easily, I've been a combat medic in Afghanistan and trained other medics for years after) don't count for squat in civilian life in Norway, I've applied and got into a paramedic program, mostly because they recognized my experience as equalling a EMT B degree, in the Seattle area. When I've done the degree, I'll apply for a spousal green card probably unless something unforeseen happens. Need to be on a student visa or the Norwegian government won't cover my education costs. If you have contacts with Guard or Reserve in the area and have certifications that you know will apply, it wouldn't be a bad idea. "Hey Ronny, I'm in the area for a while, you think some drill weekend they'd like me to do some training?" "Yeah, we have gently caress all to do most weekends, I'll talk to the CO." Just cold-calling won't get you anywhere.

Dead Reckoning posted:Also you can be absolutely certain that the contractor employing said Indians/Pakistanis/Nepalis is cheerfully exploiting the poo poo out of them thanks to lax oversight and non-existant local laws. Well, "exploiting" is a relative term. They're probably better off than they would be as indentured laborers in the Gulf states.
