AMU degrees are the height of worthless. I know so many people who have bachelor' through there who talked about how it was a shoe in from there to a contractor gig making good money that essentially just made them the 3rd highest paid employee at the mall's footlocker

Yeah, how the gently caress is that even a question? I mean Seattle kinda sucks but they've got coffee shops where girls wear lingerie and enough yoga butts to peep for decades. Irwin is just some awful desert scrub surrounded by dirt farms and trailer parks.

Apparently, retention in the Army Reserve is so poor right now that they've largely stopped transferring PT/height and weight failures and non-participants to the IRR.

Not sure if this extends to all other IRR transfers; if so, I'm going to be pissed.

that's weird since 3rd id was the best unit i was attached to when i deployed

The reserve squadron I spent most of my time with had the best morale by far, because there were only 8 active duty personnel. the XO (O-4), two other pilots (O-2s) myself (E-5), and four junior enlisted. So the entire CoC was in the hangar M-F playing Madden and BF:Bad Company/Halo/CoD on a TV we jacked from a seemingly abandoned briefing room and not worrying about much because all we had to do was keep the hangar clean until the weekends when the reservists would gently caress everything up.

Counsel her on failing to clean to standards and how her lack of attention to detail is crippling the warfighting effort, jeapordizing the mission and safety of ARE TROOPS

Nah, I let my brother do that poo poo, because she's not that good of a cleaning lady. She was bitching to me (thinking that hey, I'm his brother, I can talk to him) about her only making $9.50 an hour and I tried to explain how a janitor for a 1100 sqft office should probably be happy making more than minimum wage. When she complained to him, he walked her through the building pointing out every shoe print on the tile and every smudge on the windows, then asked her how the hell he was paying her more than minimum.

Seriously, everyone in my office with exception for our receptionists are former military. Most got out at O-4 and the only time the rest of us talk about the military is to bitch about how stupid it was, but she keeps telling us how exciting running Humvee/HEMTT convoys from Irwin to Hood was like the rest of us would give a poo poo.

I asked him why he was delivering pizzas and he just said "For spending money" Which I guess I kinda understand. Just kinda shocked that an E-6 in his early 30s would be using his free time to do that is all.

Job interview advice:

Be friendly

Groom yourself

Dress like you want the job

Speak casually

Don't come in with prepared answers, try to be as off the cuff and politely honest as you can.

Most interviewers are sick of canned answers and platitudes and just want to hire an actual person, not a walking resume

I had the plane the little yellow turret came from, One day I let my older brother attach model rocket engines to it and launch it, and miraculously the turret was the only thing that broke

Edit:


iirc it just lawn darted in tot he soft dirt near our house and the turret only broke because it separated on launch and got catapulted in to some rocks.

I should update my resume to include "Early F35 project participator"

Dude I knew in Pensacola was having the hardest loving time at the range for no perceivable reason, then one day a few of us were playing (a newly pirated) game of Delta Force: Blackhawk Down when dude is running around with the M16 and says "What the poo poo, it doesn't look like this when you aim?!"

Gold spurs are awarded on the same premise as a combat patch, you don't "earn" them. And a lot of cav units typically gift their swag to attached units for a cheap morale boost. Just don't be like those soldiers who wear their USMC or SF group combat patch because "we worked with them and I feel closer to them than my own brigade/division/whatever"

My squadron was used to move a few chalks of SEALS for training poo poo at JTC over the course of a few weeks. We had a reservist fueler that went out and bought all these SEALs T-Shirts and wore them whenever he could after that. Same reasoning.

His day-job was being the assistant manager of a Sonic, which he claimed made him a choice candidate for OCS because he had been in a leadership role since he was 17. He ended up getting a less-than-honorable because he knocked up some chick and just stopped showing up because he had to "Be there" for her and somehow got a hardship instead of rightfully butt hosed by the CoC
