Volkerball posted:do you even know why you would want to do it? marsoc was kind of a running joke in ranger bat, but it's probably a better quality of life than being regular marine infantry. i'd guess the graduation rate is below 50% in selection for force recon or anything like that, so it's something you're gonna have to be all in on just to have a chance. My cousin went through a while back. He said other than not getting injured just refuse to let your body quit is the biggest part nothing they ask you to do is impossible you just think it is due to lack of sleep/calorie deficiency from not eating enough or just being stupid. Not paying attention to the poo poo going on around you will gently caress you just as hard as an injury. That and not being physically prepared. Get in great shape ahead of time. But what the gently caress do I know I'm a grumpy Coast Guard powerlifter. The most demanding thing I have to do for my job is run a mile and a half twice a year.

Any questions about stations medium endurance cutters and patrol boats let me know. Also any MK or engineering questions. Search and rescue is a weird thing. Theres the oh gently caress someone is actively taking on a lot of water or has someone on board that is pretty hosed up wich goes under urgent SAR. And then there is the guys who hit something decent medical issue or plain ran out of gas. Each of which is handled completely differently based on where your at as well as the time of year. Urgent SAR generally gets a bird in the air and people pulled off the boat unless there is a floating asset nearby or within a reasonable response time. Often time both assets are tasked. Honestly the larger the boat the less of a gently caress is given about SAR cause that's someone elses job be it the help crew that's attached for personal injuries and rescue to the patrol boats for a bunch of the other poo poo. The big boys generally do boardings and law enforcement. The longest I was ever out was nine months with resupplies flown into Adak due to a bunch of other boats breaking down. Let me tell ya 9 months on a 213 ft boat is a long time. Fortunately with most of those hulls gone the likelihood of that happening is pretty small.

ActusRhesus posted:The military is very serious and proactive about normalizing, de stigmatizing, and treating mental health issues. Unless you actually try to address mental health. Then gently caress you, crazy boy. DoD at least pretends, the CG will gently caress you sideways and show you the door if they can from the get go. Don't know a single person that's worked lots of SAR with no issues. It's a known issue that everyone pretends to go along with.

Computer touching mil goons. I'm looking into retirement and my broken body can not take much more. What are some good resources to get started that do not require full time dedication?

zharmad posted:This. Seriously, security+ and a clearance and you will have 3 job offers anywhere there's a reasonable sized base or post within 2 weeks. Hell, PM me and tell me where you want to work and I can probably get you set up with an interview in short order with my company. I'll get back to you once I figure it out.

Mustang posted:Yeah I've been pretty lucky in dealing with the VA so far for sure. Hope they'll get your stuff worked out before too long, it's insane how slow they are at processing stuff. Houses here in the A-bay area are selling 10-50k above asking in the regular and they lowered BAH.

LtCol J. Krusinski posted:Enlisted time only counts to your total active military service time, not commissioned time. Then you have fuckers like Coast Guard legend Jack Jackson who picked up e8 to warrant to lt and is walking around with a bird drinking beers and helping people swap transmissions in the base parking lot.
