Deep down inside even the most well-dressed, non-stupid haircut having, gainfully employed, normal reservist with nary a Juggalo tattoo beats the poor decision making heart of someone in the Army.

I was cav (aviation; not the real kind) in 10th mountain for my second deployment and I thought cav was bad but I never realized

that 1st cav's predeployment training includes mandatory hugging of an old lady with 1st cav pins in the yellow ribbon in her hair.


(or that a color guard waits outside the plane for redeployment ceremonies)

so

gently caress that.

I'm glad my last days in the army will be in a unit that has ceased giving a single solitary gently caress about almost everything.

A cav unit that has a ranger first sergeant who is just about to hit his 20 and a CO that got the letter to gently caress off.

Not bad days, all up.

I'm shipping to basic sometime after the holidays, going in as a musician. Once I get to the school of music, I'll get to choose my first duty station based on my audition and what bands have vacancies.

Besides the 23 bands in the continental US that I'm eligible for coming out of ASOM, there's also one in Alaska, one in Hawaii, one in Japan, and two in Korea. Any places I should avoid?

If those bands aren't in Yongsan or Humphries, forget Korea.

I say gently caress Alaska, but I hate the cold.

Japan could be good unless the marines rape and / or murder someone else and then you'll be on lockdown for the entire tour.

As for posts, just pick what you like regionally. Army bands are kept a reasonable distance away from regular army dumb (except for that one MSG who went full jesus gently caress mode) so it's a pretty chill gig from what I gather from the band dudes.

Army band is probably one of those jobs where you get to be in the Army without actually being in the Army. So in other words, not too bad.

Avoid AK. There's the chance of going to Anchorage (which I hear isn't a bad place), but the chance of getting sent to Fairbanks is too much to ignore. My unit there managed to gently caress up my out processing so hard that my commission didn't transfer over to the reserves (which they also forgot to put me in, effectively ending my service obligation). This wouldn't be too much of a problem, but I was thinking about trying to get into a Civil Affairs unit near here and my old unit managed to gently caress up my chances at that over 2 years later and ~5000 miles away. I would have to create a packet and apply to a reappointment board which only meets once a year to even get into the reserves, let alone the unit I was trying for.

That sounds dope, but the army ruins a lot of things, so I hope you enjoy this as much as you can.

Avoid all of Texas. Get the most remote assignment, and chill for your contract, or whatevers closest to where you want to explore. Don't be discouraged when you still get sent to bliss, you can always pray to reclass as infantry and drop bodies during ww3.

Gentlmen, here's your new SMA:

Stripes posted:

WASHINGTON — The Army on Monday named Sgt. Maj. Daniel Dailey, an infantryman with five deployments stretching back to Operation Desert Storm, as the next Sergeant Major of the Army.

Dailey, of Palmerton, Pa., now serves as command sergeant major at Army Training and Doctrine Command. He’ll take over as the Army’s top enlisted member on January 30 and replace current Sergeant Major of the Army Raymond Chandler, who has served in the role since March 2011.

Dailey’s “experience, leadership, devotion to Soldiers and commitment to our Army make him especially suited to assume this important duty, one that Sgt. Maj. of the Army Chandler has masterfully performed for the last four years,” Army Secretary John McHugh said in a written statement.

Dailey’s primary job will be as adviser to Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno on policy and procedures that affect enlisted soldiers. Sergeants major of the Army testify before Congress on quality-of-life concerns, pay and other matters affecting enlisted members. Because of their centrality to discussions involving topics such as haircuts and tattoos, they can be singled out for ire from the troops as well.

Odierno called Dailey the epitome of a soldier.

“I have every confidence in his ability as a visionary leader to help guide our Army through this time of great complexity and rapid change — he is a trusted Army professional,” he said in a written statement.

Dailey joined the Army in 1989 and served in Germany as a radio telephone operator and rifleman for his first assignment, according to his Army biography. He deployed to Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm and was soon after promoted to sergeant in 1993. After a series of assignments, he deployed to Iraq in 2003, and was promoted to command sergeant major in 2004. He would return three more times to Iraq by 2009 before taking on his current assignment.

Among his awards are the Legion of Merit, a Bronze Star with Valor, a number of Bronze Stars, Meritorious Service Awards and Army Commendation Medals. Dailey received a bachelor of science degree, summa cum laude, from Excelsior University, the Army said.

Dailey said he’s ready to take on his job leading the Army’s enlisted ranks.

“I’m passionate about the Army, and I’m passionate about taking care of soldiers,” he said. “This is truly a humbling opportunity.”



He has *gasp* deployments, but then again, he's also TRADOC's current CSM so lol.

How likely is it that you'll actually get to choose your location in AIT? I thought it was just needs of the army?

If you do get to choose, Is there a destination that you'd want to visit in your lifetime that would be outside of ordinary means? i.e. How likely is it that you're willing to spend the kind of money to visit Japan (or any other location) for a year. I'm kinda buying into the "every assignment is what you make of it", although Korea really challenged my position on that... Even then, I was able to make Korea an *okay* assignment, like everyone else mentioned, the Army really ruins any place, but it does provide you with the opportunity to visit countries that you might not be able to afford on your own.
