During our bike ride we ended up skimming past the nat'l guard armory, it must have been drill weekend. Buddy of mine ended up blowing a tire, pretty loud pop and as me and three other cyclists were standing around watching him change his tire tube out, some PFC with a medic pack came up on us, running full bore shouting "WHERE'S THE PATIENT IS EVERYONE ALRIGHT!?" Dude thought someone got blasted mid ride and was all excited to use his sweet medic skills. I found out it was literally his first drill, and as he walked back into a group of what I would only assume were seasoned specialists I heard one say: "way to be a fag" I miss the guard.

I just want to go to a school where they teach me how to be a james bond type soldier. The one who learns how to dress fashionably, force women into having sex with me on boats, can drink copious amounts of alcohol but still round-house kick bitches in the face with precision accuracy, drive/fly anything. Also would allow me to not adhere to AR670-1 and grow sick hair-styles and not shave while I'm in the Bahamas plowing women for secrets of their bosses intention to sell plutonium to ISIS.

My buddy made his way up to E6 in about 6 years at the age of 24. He was Psyops and had gone through two deployments, I think he was the only E-6 and the rest were a bunch of dudes who went through AIT while they were gone, everyone else ETS'd *Reserve unit*. Buddy is a helluva leader and would do anything for both his friends/subordinates so a well deserved promotion. But he said gently caress the army, got a job working for Direct TV and has a scruffy as gently caress beard. The way god intended it.

The SAW wasn't necessarily horrible, I mean it's heavy and poo poo, don't get me wrong, I had it for 3 months. It's carrying two loving extra belts of ammunition on your body that loving sucks, especially when you can't look cool and carry it rambo style.

Wow. The M4 was super easy to fit inside of a Humvee turret anyways, slotted right into the side where the handles on the turret were. It's not like you had to sling it across your back while you're in the turret. I had a pump action shotgun on the other side too, although I was primarily a 240 gunner my deployment. Oddly enough, our SOP for escalation of force was, if you were a .50 cal gunner you gave warning shots with your M4/16 and after that you went to the .50. I never liked it, but I suppose it kept trigger happy people from unloading a bunch of death on a car when you're shooting a warning shot and 5 rounds destroy an entire car.

The national guard turned me into the sex beast that I am now, lost a bunch of weight in basic training and actually started having motivation and went from being a WoW playing piece of poo poo to now a pretty full functioning retard. I got to go to Iraq and shoot people of different color and got a masters degree out of the whole thing. gently caress, if my Marine packet gets rejected I may just go guard OCS because I love dicks shoved deep into my butt one weekend a month 2 weeks in the summer.

loving omg lol, doubling drill weekends and month long AT'S is stupid as gently caress, even for higher up enlisted/officers. I guess that means the paychecks that they can't submit because the "state is broke" will take 6 months instead of 4 months. It sounds like the marines are doing something better, el oh el Hail satan

I joined the Natty G right when I got out of high school with the intentions of going to college and doing all that poo poo. I ended up getting activated 1 month into college and having to drop all my courses. I came back and the only thing that the guard really messed up with my schooling was the difficulty of taking summer courses due to annual training. They also attempted to send me back to Iraq 2 months after I de-mobed from my 06 deployment. They were essentially cherry-picking dudes to fill numbers and I got called up. Fortunately the Dwell time act or whatever came into effect and I got out of a lovely prison guard detail deployment... Anywho, probably would be better to join the guard or another branch and get a decent job out of it than being infantry or whatever. It's not going to end any chances she has at going to college, but even with the draw down of forces there's been talks about utilizing guard/reservists for overseas deployment more often. Places like Europe and Africa. Not to mention if something like flint Michigan happens again she'll be stuck putting cases of water in people's vehicle for 4-5 weeks, which will really gently caress up her semester.

psydude posted:Yeah they're still rotating reserve units through Kuwait and Djibouti, as well as Guam and Korea. Not sure about national guard, but it's probably similar. Yep, Horn of Africa has guardsmen rotating, I think every ~4 years is the plan. Kansas went back in 2011-2012? and I believe are slotted to go back in 2017. Not to mention whoever the dude was that said "we oughta double training days of the guards/reserves" mentioned more utilization of part time soldiers for non combat related deployments. So could happen, or it could be that dude just blowing a bunch of smoke up everyone's rear end and it'll just stay the way things are right now.

Vulture posted:so is 'horn of africa' like Puerto rico? how good are their public schools (planning to move out of here w/ family soon) I got out 5 months before they deployed, thus I haven't been to Africa. I would think that it's probably not like Puerto Rico, the base is in Djibouti, but if you look for some housing in Somalia you might be able to get a pretty decent deal on some land.

We had old school MRE's when I was in Iraq and the same went with when we were in the field after deployment leading up to 2011. I never got to taste these wonderful shakes, and half of the stuff you guys are talking about sounds foreign to me. It's odd that I'm sitting here, going "man I'd like to see the MRE's are like now". I'm only two beers deep, I should know better.

gently caress, unless they got significantly better since I was chowing down on those, they're kind of negative reinforcers within themselves? How would you like to not poo poo for 4 days... When you do, it's going to be so hard you'll rip your rear end in a top hat apart. Oh by the way, you're going to get cancer, and probably some food borne illness. It would be safer to eat Kraft Mac N' Cheese out of some homeless dudes rear end in a top hat than it would to eat MRE's on the reg.

Right as I was on my home stretch for ETS'ing from the army we had a new company commander come in, he was some captain who went to West Point back in like, the early 90's and decided it was time to come back in after like.... 12 years of being out of the mil game. This is early 2011 and we're talking guard. His first speech is about the unit going to the Horn of Africa, how we must train to bring the fight to the enemy, and how it will be with a heavy heart that we may not all make it back on the plane ride home. He also mentioned in his time off he had multiple jobs because he would be given a task, complete said task and there was simply "no work left for him to do" causing him to bounce around employers. This, and that the army is his true calling for one who is capable of keeping "his work plate full". I heard that 3 months into the deployment he was relieved of command.

Isn't ranger school somewhat of a requirement for infantry officers? WA guard has been attempting to recruit me since they're transitioning to some brigade combat team and need fresh officers and bodies to slay whichever group of people we decide to invade next. the "ascension pipeline" specifically shows IOBLC, then RANGER SCHOOL! followed by whatever specific infantry unit you go to, which I guess since Washington Natty Guard is going to a stryker brigade, I'd be going to SLC. I would assume that, it's probably not required but good luck past O-3/O-4

I remember learning absolutely nothing about shooting in OSUT. The only saving grace of the entire thing was that we were exposed to so many ranges, and simulation ranges to learn how to zero and get a proper sight picture that when it came time to qualify people actually made it through. Which is another story in and of itself, there were so many individuals that had to attempt BRM qual over...and over.......and over it was insane. poo poo, even after going to the firing line 3-4 times people had to wait until the next company would go to the range, get shuttled out with them and shoot.
