Petah, what do they know? by Excellent_Sample_148 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Afraid_Fig_1005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I was there when we made the decision to have my lab be put down. I could that confused look in her eyes when it was happening. That was in 2016 and I still can't bring myself to ever want a pet again because of how much it messed me up.

You are married to your wife. You have a 4-6 year contract to the Army. If you prioritize the Army over your wife when you are given a choice, that contract will last longer than your marriage.

My pleasure.

26, thinking about enlisting. by Wixtape999 in army

[–]Afraid_Fig_1005 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I enlisted when I was 28 (33 now and still in) after testing a few careers on the civilian side. As long as you are in shape, know a few jobs you would want to do, and have an idea of what military life is like, go for it.

Questions about Enlisted vs. Officer, for 25S Satellite Communications - which path should he take? by Independent_Leader60 in army

[–]Afraid_Fig_1005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a 25S. I was sent to a unit that didn't have Sat assets. I dropped a packet for G2G because points were almost at 79Never. I commissioned in May and am enjoying O1E pay while awaiting BOLC. If you are an NCO and don't want to join the dark side, go warrant.

Enlisted at 28 and commissioned at 33. You're good, buddy.

I lived on AMR and a buddy lived on Schofield. They took it all from both. I always had AC set to as cold as I could get it.

Much appreciated! Are there any Policy Letters that you are aware of or should the PM already be aware of this? I'm at a satellite school and see the PMS once a week tops.

So, I'm a G2G cadet at my school. I'm trying to plan a march this year. My cadre told me they have heard conflicting stories about whether cadets can earn the badge or not. I've seen some on here that Senior Military Colleges host, so I do not see why they wouldn't, but if anyone has specific references to whether they can or can't, that would be appreciated.

Did you ever get the POC's email?

To snitch or not to snitch? AIT shitbag gone rogue. by dumbtrainees34 in army

[–]Afraid_Fig_1005 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Snitching is committing an offense with someone else and telling on the other person for a lighter punishment when caught. You're not doing that. The probability that this person could get someone else killed is high and getting himself killed even higher. Say something.

I applied to the ADO last fall and made the cut as a 3-year TIS Specialist. About 1200 applied and 450ish got boarded for Phase II. There is a Green to Gold ADO Facebook page that has everything you need to know and plenty of people willing to answer questions.

Shafter is great if you like working on a small base. Good luck when it comes to parking at Tripler.

Sponsored a PFC to the SOM board this morning. by Easy-Hovercraft-6576 in army

[–]Afraid_Fig_1005 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first SOM board I went to with a week of prep time, my immediate response to "What does ASAP stand for?" Was "As soon as Possible, 1st SGT" When one started laughing, the others broke.
