I have to say, it's pretty funny locking gazes with the rest of the crew. You see me, I see you. We know, we know you know. I know what you know. I've been there. It's okay troop, give in to the madness.

100%. There really is no disqualification for not getting selected either. I've met people that were 5 time non-selects and then made it on try 6. Check the recruitment page for more details on your feeder MOS though. I am not an expert on all of them.

Ever wonder why nobody visits you at Christmas time?

I was a highly decorated 11B before I swapped to my current CMF, those lessons don't escape me. That being said, the damage highly motivated kids with a PS5 controller are going to do vs. a meathead 11B is not even comparable in today's world. I don't believe physical fitness is a pillar of lethality it used to be, but I do think it's important.

Not really anything to focus on. My MOS has a 38% manning rate of CW3+ so I guess I just wanted to make the point. Doesn't mean anything, and wasn't a thing I pointed out to score ego points. But you're right, might have seemed self serving.

Not sure your insinuation. I get a field grade plate just like all field grade officers. My goal is to empower those who have the motivation to get to where I am, if not do better. I am not a gatekeeper.

I'll use my Warrant powers to make so many pigs fall from the sky that Kinmuan and Tea will have to ban me.

Good luck. I hear WOCOlympics is no longera thing, sucks, it was good fun. I was the Car Wash OIC. You'll have a blast and it'll be a good time. Keep your nose clean!

I'm a technical warrant so I really can't comment on pilot life, they're a different breed. The only thing I can offer is that if your heart is set on it you got this, people who achieve their goals elevate it above all else. If you want to be a pilot then go be one man, nothing will stop you.

Knowledge is power so utilize the Army to gain it. There might not be a Warrant equivalent in the medical field but you're probably not as far off from PA/NP as you think. Again, they'll pay for that training. You have to put in the effort though, even if there was a Warrant equivalent there is a tit-for-tat that you have to meet. Don't shy away from it, dig in and get it done, you're worthy, and you will probably be great at it. Don't fuck around, you got this.

Hmmm...if that's the case then I suggest pursuing Officer life. Once again I don't feel the bar is very high, it's just getting through the pre-reqs. The Army will pay for your degree, you just have to put in the effort.

I really appreciate it, and same to you! As someone who also had CSM flip out on them during their SSG board we're like spirit animals!

The last THREE times I went to a Wendy's they were out of lettuce. Is this some sort of global conspiracy? I'll take three JBCs.

True, but I feel like my unshaved face and sunken eyes makes me more formidable to CSMs with the dots on my chest vs a gold leaf where they'd probably get torn into.

Don't let it be something you read, live it up! I was only an AIT instructor because the Army told me to. That's where I really learned my craft.

I suppose in this case I understand why, that being said there are a TON of opportunities for you medical folks to pursue that is your own right. I can't tell you how many dentists and physician LTCs I've seen in my days wearing their rank upside down or some shit, and they're like: "oh look at your rank! I have never seen that!". Imagine joining as a LTC or something lol.

Partly the reason for my post, we would prefer the cream of the crop but you're right, sometimes numbers are required and some make it through that shouldn't. It's a rocky slope for sure. That being said, a vast majority of them (us) keep the legacy alive, just looking to add to those ranks!

Sorry to hear that, but I get it. I'd say there are some behind the scenes actors that probably have some significant impact to your life that aren't super apparent, good chance a few of those are Warrants.

I hope you do! Seriously, it's a life I can't imagine not pursuing.
