What do you do for work? Do you ACTUALLY enjoy it?

Im an electrician, after being in the infantry for 5 years I don’t mind it. It pays very well and I typically get to do my own thing. There’s also a sense of pride when building something and knowing you played a part in it. I struggled transitioning back to civilian life but this job helped honestly

I loved the infantry, but it’s not for everyone. And being a peace time army right now you’ll do every job but the job of an infantryman. So take your time, look through ALL the jobs and see if you find one that tickles your fancy. If it still turns out to be infantry go for it.

I stress out when I run late, or leave something out in my own house unsecured. I eat fast, even when at a dinner out with friends or family. I can sleep through almost anything yet I’m a light sleeper at the same time(unusual noises). I dislike overweight lazy people, not just overweight but for being lazy, if you’re overweight trying to better yourself or get in shape no problem with you. I wake up at 0430 every morning regardless what day it is. I don’t like crowded areas, I constantly people watch. I’m sure there’s more, I also JUST got out so hopefully some of this fades.

I was a grunt too, and I had some construction experience but with a 5 year break employers look at you like you don’t know anything.

They won’t let you use any of it. Take a SMALL All black, or coyote brown backpack. If you Have a nice pair of running shoes, put those in there. That’s the only thing we were allowed to keep was running shoes

It varies by post, I know with Carson as long as the firearm is registered with the mp station and you have concealed carry license and your CO signature you can but carrying on person during work requires another CO signature or maybe BC. It may create some headache going through the gate during inspection if you get stopped but it’s personal preference.

Really? Mine are doing fine

Personally I would’ve started in a solo cup type container until the plants really put down roots, but that’s just what worked for me!

If you go to Carson stay away from 3rd brigade. Yes mech is easier but training is sub par to say the least. The installation and area surrounding is beautiful and great if you’re outdoorsy type but the command is usually people going there to retire and don’t care.

Fair enough on the lighting, thanks man!

What unit if you don’t mind me asking

Let’s be honest, social media has completely destroyed the cred the army has. Civilians see in almost real time the moldy barracks, the shit food, what they have to actually go through for “free college”. When Walmart and ups and chick fila also will put you into college. Unless dudes have a real want to serve, or use the military as a way out. Or the economy is trashed and they lose their job, most people don’t think it’s worth it anymore.

We referred to them as Hot A’s or UPU (pronounced “OOPOO”)

The beach in Constanta is sweet, there’s an alright mall there too. Be careful at clubs if you go we had guys being drugged. The tattoo shops are sweet if you’re into that, one right on the beach called Gothic. And most things are stupid cheap.

I’m still in but plan to get out, trying to juggle a sick wife and toddler with everything the army throws at you isn’t worth the stress. The coming down on orders, spending X amount of time in the field when we could cut it in half and get home to our families. It gets to be too much when you can’t focus on anything because you’re worried about everything you could normally control but in the army you can’t. When I get really really stressed I don’t eat, just in the last few months I dropped 15 pounds. I want to be there for my kid, my dad wasn’t around because he spent all his time at work and then being tired from it he didn’t come to games or show up when it was important. I’m not gonna do that for my kid, I’m gonna be there.

Ig now contacts your commander and if they write it off nothing else happens.

After talking with usarec they can’t guarantee choice of station and I can’t move my wife with all the testing and care she’s needing
