Haha look at these active duty bitches complaining

Y'all take this military poo poo waaaay too seriously. just come over to the reserve side and chill out for a bit while you make the active duty bitches do all the heavy lifting.

i was attached to 3rd ID during oif3, they were quizzing all the e-4s for an upcoming board they were holding the next week

one of them got smart and asked me for some reg, i was able to reply "bitch im guard. we don't see a board until e6"

Being chill is the good part about the Reserves and Guard. Deploying in such poor shape you have a stroke just sitting around a tent (happened) or not knowing the basics of your job so other people have to work harder (not exclusive to reservists but more common) is being a piece of poo poo.

i really think that reservist/guard medics bring a lot to the table tbh

we had a shitload of civilian EMT-B's, paramedics, and other medical fields who worked with trauma (especially gsw) every day. I'm in no way knocking active duty medics, but there's a lot that spend their enlistment sitting in a tmc doing sick call and inventory all day.

i'd say about 80% of the people in my unit were actively in school of some kind in their real life, which cut down on a lot of BS as well

I've got a dumb question that might come up for me in the next few years because I'm a fat-body. Isn't there some rule on PT tests if you fail abdominal but pass the other portions? I'm steadily creeping towards 39 inches but my run is sub-11 and the other parts haven't been an issue.

are you talking about taping?

realtalk get some dumbells and do some shrugs

I was 250 at 6'5" which is over by 38 lbs in the army but i had a 20" neck

I couldn't imagine doing 15 loving years.

i work 9pm-6am right now. i work from home though, so that helps.

Night shift is super bad for your health.

yeah. Sleep is the worst. You're always counting how many hours you got.

Making a consistent schedule and keeping to it keeps you from going crazy. I usually crash early friday nights so i can be up with the family for the weekend.

Are these consistent night shifts, or were switching between nights and days every month? Because there's no way 5 years of that can be good for your health.

Constant, gently caress switching.

I did nights when I was deployed, 7pm to 7am, and it rocked. Most of the leadership went to bed by midnight and we had the night for ourselves. I was exempt from the Army's dumbass PT, I could go to the bathroom in peace, and the gym was empty if I felt like lifting at 2 am. My meals were backwards, but it wasn't too bad once you got used to having cereal for dinner.

this was my life at the CSH at Speicher for 1/2 my deployment. Sleep through the bullshit, work when it's not 130 degrees outside, leadership is a no-show
