Reminds me of a kid I knew in high school whose life goal was to do Boot Camp for all four major branches. His plan was to enlist in what he considered to be order of difficulty: Air Force, Navy, Army, then Marines. I wonder if his dumb rear end held on to that dream.

I just found this on reddit: Foreign Enlistment Act violation quote:Ok heres the situation. redditor posted:You can and should be prosecuted. A statement from Freeland, Deputy PM: OP posted:this is a personal opinion redditor posted:Did you enlist or entice other people to enlist while in Canada? If not you're fine under that law. Your life choices have their own built in consequences. Do us all a favour and keep a pack of [sun]flower seeds in your pockets. OP posted:Yes I tried to get a few people to come.

It gets better:redditor posted:Looking at his other posts it sounds like he arrived weeks ago and either sensibly decided it was a bad idea or the russians told him to gently caress off. I assumed this was a fake post, but he posted 23 days ago about flying turkish airlines and didn't post for a while in the meantime, still a good chance it's fake but the poster put some work in if so So tack on abandoning his expecting wife and I guess desertion?

The book Starship Troopers had a pretty dumb system for its highest rank: 1. Join Army as enlisted, serve a few years 2. Go to OCS (only way to make officer) 3. Rise in ranks to become General 4. Enlist in Navy, serve a few years 5. Go to OCS 6. Rise in ranks to become Admiral 7. Congratulations! You are now qualified to become Sky Marshall! (Also works Navy then Army) Like.... what?

Someone with such poor judgment has no business being put in charge of anything even remotely important. edit: my unit had a S3 captain that was such a fuckup that while I was a first lieutenant S4 the field grades essentially had him working for me for the last week of a training exercise because they were tired of dealing with him. I had him run the wash rack. Mustang fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Apr 25, 2024 |

Like years of his rear end in a top hat brother-in-law saying things like "If I was going to enlist I'd be a real soldier and join the marines like my grandfather. Hoorah." "Hey soldier-boy, write any good lists lately?" "Be careful out there, you might get a paper cut." He had an indoor job with decent pay and job security. Lots of people walk away from the military for private sector jobs. But what could possibly have motivated him to throw that away for basically the same career path but worse?

I was 38 when I got my 20 years done in the Army and I actually thought about resigning and doing the shortest enlistment I could in the Navy. My wife said it was a dumb thought and I just stayed in the Army (probably just as dumb).

No offense to our Marine fellow service members but their PR is good. That said even as a loggie, if I know my Army officer progression right he must have been a platoon leader, company commander, batallion S4 etc. and thus been around plenty of his enlisted soldiers? Was he one of these guys that was like, man it would be so much better to be one of them? I know there are plenty of Air Force officer jobs where you don't really spend time around enlisted, aren't an OIC/flight commander, but I would guess the Army is different. As an O-3 with some sort of security clearance (I assume) he could be punching out and getting some sweet contractor job like so many of us have.

Navy doc who thinks he’s about to have sex with two little girls gets caught in a sting, immediately pulls a gun, and gets loving lit up by the cops. Guy was formerly the “commander of U.S. Naval Hospital and Joint Task Force (JTF) Joint Medical Group Guantanamo Bay” https://www.upi.com/amp/Top_News/US/2024/04/21/video-footage-underage-sting/6541713724725/ Link to the released body cam footage in that story if you want to see a (blurred out) dude shot at close range by three cops

Dude had his hand on the gun the moment they opened the door, then got lit the gently caress up once he was on the ground. Jesus. A giant plume of smoke rises from his body(?) at the end of the body cam footage.

I had an assignment where I spent a couple of years working for some navy folks on a task force (EW stuff) and it was really neat. And the stories they had of riding ships around the world were pretty awesome. I'm just plain ol retired now and do that stuff as a civilian. Much better. MarcusSA posted:Couldn’t he just get another commission in the Marines? Honestly, yeah. That hardest part of becoming an officer is getting the 4 year degree. He's already got that part. He'd probably not do too bad in the OCS because he'll already know all the poo poo their checking for.
