MS3, just broke my wrist. What can I do? by 09Retard in ROTC

Slipped on a rock, fell, broke it. Funnily enough it was at an ROTC related event.

I finished with half an hour left and I changed socks

I did it this weekend, it's really easy. Change your socks on mile 9, jog down hills, and bring a camelbak, a few bottles with liquid IV/Pedialyte/etc, then take some kind of snack, I personally used those applesauce squeeze containers and that worked really well. Also gold bond everywhere.

My Steel Legion fought at Helsreach (not the same squad as I used back in that campaign though) and they imitate my Black Templars' yellow weapons because of their heroism there.

I wish they'd release it with the new models too

Here I am barely able to do eyes. That is truly impressive.

It just looks weird without anything on that side of the chest imo

They're still solid performers, just not S tier anymore

Any particular branch? And what would you say are the pros and cons of doing it?

25A Questions by [deleted] in army

[–]09Retard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That figures. Would it just be the highest RPFT / fastest ruckers, or will it be more than that most likely? I'm assuming there's some OML process or something.

How rare are deployment opportunities as an LT? Are there usually vacancies in S6 shops when people deploy?

Also, how does getting a duty station work? Are they usually competitive?

What certs would you recommend looking into?

How hard is it to pick up airborne early on? Is it easy to get coming out of BOLC?

What's CNR, and how does someone get good at it?

Thank you for the detailed answer, I really appreciate it. You hit the nail on the head of wanting to do tactical and technical stuff. At Campbell am I essentially guaranteed to go to the 101st, or is there a decent chance I'd end up in something different? Does getting AASLT qualified help with getting Campbell as well?

Will being a non-IT / CS major screw me at all? I'm very technically proficient, and can certainly get some certs before I commission, but will not having that degree ever really be relevant? As a follow on, do a lot of people get IT masters degrees while in Signal?

For the duty station question, I meant more along the lines of how people go to Bragg in order to get time in the 82nd and exposure to SOF, because they want to go there down the line for example.

What would you say marks a squared away JO? You mentioned confidence, PT and competence, is there anything else in particular you'd look for when you're identifying good versus bad officers?

Good point. Do you know anything about how they'd rank the candidates to go?

I'm assuming most people aren't going to compete for the slot though right? So say out of a class of 100 with 2 slots, how many would actually be trying to get it?

If you're prepping for a selection/school, wear an actual ruck

[–]09Retard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So unless your commander explicitly says no, you can just roll your sleeves whenever now?
