not caring here posted:What's OSUT, 4 months? That means if you left today you'd be through basic July/ August, probably go through 2 months of deployment training crap to take you through to October, assuming there are any more units deploying, you'd be just in time to start manning burn pits. There's always Africa, though.

Word of warning: All of the stories you have heard from people about how Fort Sam is one giant Roman Bacchanalia are no longer true, as far as 68Ws are concerned. 232 is now a God awful hellhole where the Good Idea Fairy has taken roost. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. Thank Based God I'm out this bitch on Friday.

Nimmy posted:This is a good thread. Posted in here back in January. Went to MEPS this week for asvab and physical and got cleared for service. DUI waiver processed and accepted. Pick a job and take my oath Tuesday. Wanted to be an officer, but realized that what interests me most are the things that everyone gets, not just commissioned officers. In fact, I probably have more control over where I go as an NCO. And hell, putting more time between me and that DUI, in addition to being active duty can only help me if I want to go officer in a few years. Pretty excited; thanks goons.  How the gently caress do people get waivered for DUIs in this day and age?

Or PM me if you want to hear how lovely Ft Sam and AIT are now. But yeah, there were 142 68W slots open when I signed.

PLANES CURE TOWERS posted:What happened to Fort Sam? I heard they took away overnights, and every instructor is a broken shell of a GWOT vet, but did they do more than that? Overnights are a figment of the imagination, ASUs off-post (and only once you phase up), no drinking, no smoking, at least half the instructors I'm sure have stopped counting TBIs once they went past what they could count on their fingers, etc. It's hilariously petty, asinine, stupid bullshit all around.

PLANES CURE TOWERS posted:literally lol at any company that didn't have a mop for a guidon. The vast majority of it is solely on 232's shoulders. It's pretty much like they traded 60-man bays for a bunch of cuntbrick leadership.

darnon posted:ADA No. Just, no. As crazy as Tango promotion rates are right now, don't loving do it. Like Vas said, don't enlist. If you're going to enlist then don't loving enlist for ADA, go for something actually useful. I die a little inside every time a Tango comes into my BAS because he managed to do some poo poo beyond infantry stupid, and I die a little more every time these chucklefucks try to pretend they ARE infantry with some motarded "FTX" bullshit. The Army makes me drink, Korea makes me drink soju, ADA makes me an alcoholic.

Have you ever had that feeling where you're standing on the edge of somewhere very, very high and get the sudden urge to jump? You just wonder what those endless seconds would be like before you hit, fear and adrenaline but also some nihilistic kind of release? Step the gently caress back, you idiot.

Hekk posted:I've listed all the criminal history questions from the SF-86. Take a look at the above and if any of that poo poo applies to you, make a mental note of it. If the investigator asks you questions about something you hosed up on the SF-86 I want you to say something very similar to the following. Start perfecting that look of blank, dumb incomprehension. You can be the smartest motherfucker in the brigade and so long as you're not an NCO, you can still flash that airhead look and it will excuse a surprising amount of dumb poo poo.

Delizin posted:Sorry bud, it doesn't look like you will be able to pass the physical without a waiver which will probably be drat near impossible to get. Granted you're probably right but that specific quote speaks just to two very specific conditions, neither of which involve orchiectomy. And for DeliciousPatriotism: I'd get the gently caress off of AndroGel as fast as humanly possible, by any means necessary convincing your lovely terrible endo to get you once a week intramuscular depot injections. Seriously, transdermal TRT is loving terrible and retarded. Once a week 100-150mg enanthate or undecanoate will have you with solid blood-stable levels and none of the bullshit that goes along with transdermals.

They nod and say ok here you go goodbye and really have no sensible advice for anything besides "here's your prescription" no matter what I ask. I'd be happy to help, just hit me up with a PM whenever and I should be able to give you a better picture of your options.

Volkerball posted:it's all fun and games unless you're the one getting blood squirted on you because the fucker learned a cool trick with an iv needle. Always a guaranteed crowd pleaser; get the known hypertensive with pipes big enough you could hit them from the loving moon, stick them with a 14, pull the needle without occluding the vein or popping the band and see how far you can get it to go. Best I ever got was only like six feet due to the way our CLS classrooms were setup, only other way you could orient it would've probably ended up with the first two rows looking like they were going as Patrick Bateman for Halloween. Godholio posted:And bone injection videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyPgGjqPUMU 3:20 is where it starts, and the chick rates it as 4/10 pain like getting hit in the funny bone. PS: Unless you really love medical poo poo go linguist. I talked to at least half a dozen Air Force guys working at the Osan ER and according to them you're super loving pigeonholed and will lose like half your skills because you never use them for years.
