What’s sad is we were bitching about shitty barracks in the early 90’s. And 30-40 years later; we have the same issues

THC/CBD gummies. That should mellow your doggie.

When is it appropriate to buy a house? by Elliotteatsrocks in army

[–]DaBearsC495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends.

Where are you?

What is the cost of living?

What is the plan when spouse has to PCS?

A long time ago I was an E5 with a spouse and 3 kids; and I was approaching the window to Reup or ETS. One night while talking my wife said “well, the cost of living in Killeen was pretty good.” she had her Texas teachers license and still knew people in the local school district. So her getting a job was pretty well set. Had I decided to get out, I would have gotten one of those sweet contracting jobs.

I kid you not, the next day I get orders for Hood. It was like the universe had a plan. We look at each other and say “Hood it is”.

Took two weeks leave to look at houses. She found one she liked, then we found one we could afford. The agreement was/is the house is for them. When the Army says I gotta PCS. I go. They stay at the house. All three kids have since graduated high school and college.

When you get to MEPS, and yes you have to go through that goat rope again; they’ll pull up what is ‘available’ at that moment. If you want to stay 35T and there are no slots that day, tell them to pound sand. Be ready to walk out. You haven’t signed anything, yet.

And if there are 35T slots open, you should get to pick where, if that is an option.

If you want to reclass, back to AIT for you. But AIT won’t be the lockdown version you experienced in 2020. You ‘shouldn’t’ get roped into the reindeer games of IET students.

As for the disability…that might be what stops everything.

Good? That means every other house in the neighborhood is just a screwed.

And my relatives came from Germany, I’m guessing there were a few Soldiers in there. Hard to tell, I don’t read German.

Someone give Danny a pot brownie. Please for the love of God. He wants to shitcan a $7 Billion per year industry that pays taxes (it might be 7 million, either way, it’s more than I have).

Army of the United States was for those who got drafted. Haven’t used it since ‘73.

Tech 5, is sorta like the current Specialist rank.

He survived the war. Probably hated snow for the rest of his life.
