psydude posted:We were issued them for deployment, but weren't issued PEQ-16s so they were basically useless except for the use case you mentioned. Even on convoys, the MRAPs all had the driver assistance screen with the built-in night vision/thermals, as did the CROWS, and all of our crew served weapons had the thermal scopes. we had peq15s. never used it once on deployment but i qualified a 29 with it. out BNCSM shot an 11 or some stupid poo poo and one of the greatest days of my army life was seeing his face as they announced his score in front of a bunch of privates.

EVA BRAUN BLOWJOBS posted:I can't remember the last time I ran a mile. What I'm getting at is running blows. i started running again a few days ago for the first time in two years. i ran a lot on the weekends when i was in because it was nice to see parts of Ft Campbell while running that weren't loving Tennessee Ave. running was actually relaxing and helped me work off stress. now i just wanna do it because i feel like a badass when i run ten miles.

Yeah but infantry likes to jerk off about how they aren't pogs. Our PL was a reclass and would tell us how scared pogs were of infantry. "And I know, because I used to be a pog." Also why isn't it spelled pogue? I know it's an acronym but when I see pog I immediately think of the greatest schoolbus game of all time.

Korea is not representative of the army as a whole. 8th army is a joke. NCOs don't care to correct or take care of soldiers because they just want to do their year and get back to the states (for example I was suicidal and told my section leader that I was getting more and more angry and depressed every single day and his response was "it's Korea, we are all angry and depressed.") . It's the biggest shithole of an army unit I've ever seen. Not sure how it is now since I guess they are doing unit rotations instead of just randomly sending people there.

psydude posted:Why is Korea suck so much compared to other OCONUS duty stations? From lower enlisted/company level NCO at Camp Casey perspective: nobody gives a gently caress about anything because they just want to do their year and get back to a real duty station. I have no idea why command is so harsh about everything, but it could be the ridiculous amount of stupid poo poo that dumbass privates do on a regular basis.

iKon posted:Is there any global hostility situation where any of you would willingly go back in? I feel like if something truly heinous and totally clear-cut happened I might, but it's equally hard for me to imagine that kind of Nazis-have-taken-France situation happening again. If I could go straight to SF without having to do the pipeline. That's about it.

Soulex posted:That's really hosed up. And I had a coworker RCP and he got hosed with them trying to send him to loving Korea for 6 months to finish up his contract. I just talked to a guy today who got orders to Korea and he was supposed to report there in January 2016. His ets was one month later. It might be stdh but like Trump, I wouldn't put any stupid poo poo past the army.

maffew buildings posted:I spent 10 days over there on mid-deployment leave from Japan and it was loving awesome, not just because I was away from my detachment and the navy but it was legit loving rad. The only low point of the trip was actually being in Busan, which is a giant trash heap of a port city, but other than that I can't wait to have a chance to go back that hopefully doesn't involve war. Incredible food, history, the girls are hot, they drive on the correct side of the road, things aren't too ridiculous price wise, Seoul has a crazy easy train system...place loving rules. Make sure you touch the guard. He lets you take his sunglasses off and put them on your own face for pictures.

Can I use Voc Rehab for grad school? I'm going for accounting if it makes a difference, which is a fairly in demand field I have to do more research on this approach, but from what I understand you can sit for the CPA if you have 150 education hours. It's 132 for a bachelors in accounting and I will be graduating with 140ish. Could I just do ten more hours of undergrad and take some BS courses and sit for the CPA and skip grad school altogether? boop the snoot fucked around with this message at 05:34 on Jan 19, 2017 |

When I was at JRTC some guys in my platoon were "getting out" (aka not extending for deployment until after jrtc so that they didn't have to do anything) and were sitting around bored while everyone else was out doing dumb poo poo. So they found an unlocked humvee and went for a drive, crashed into a ditch and left it there and hoofed it back. The humvee was from another company and they got put on lockdown until someone found it (like five hours later). poo poo ruled and it's too bad I only got to experience the lockdown portion while they searched our area for it. E: also it's a really good idea to not offer to extend for a deployment until after a JRTC rotation. It may save you 25 or whatever days of bullshit.

I thought air assault school was pretty fun. It's not hard to go by a packing list and dress right dress your stuff. The obstacle course is pretty easy. Fast roping out of a UH was fun. I even learned a thing or two. Then again it was basically a ten day vacation away from my stupid rear end unit.
