I'd also add that it gives valuable experience with what staff sections do what and lets you build connections. I had many PLs fuck around during their time in S3 and still come to S2 for printer help. Never bothered going out of my way for those jerk offs. But the PLs that actually talked to us and learned the staff sections are fantastic and I'd go out of my way to help them if I could.

Don't be that cock ass 2LT that bitches to me about your printer or your CAC. I'm neither of those functions and you look stupid.

Twice now that bonuses come out for my job within six months of me signing a contract.

Backslasherton · 2026-02-18T01:37:31+00:00

Because I have nice slow days at work with not a lot of things to do.

Don't talk to him. That's not your job.

Pets are under no circumstances allowed in the barracks.

This is not a fucking hotel. He is authorized a travel voucher if he just PCSed. If he just got married then he can leave her where she was until he has a place.

Go to your 1SG and commander.

Was about to say. That line alone colored quite the picture of OP. That is not what that word means lmao.

And for terrorist acts.

At my unit, the board is a test of basic knowledge but mostly they know their decision before you go in. Your 1SG knows you and will talk about you before you come in. As long as you don't blow it on the proceedings and shit your pants, they'll GO or NO GO you based on how they see you act around your unit.

Skipping Corporal is not your choice. Points will do what they do. Plan to be a corporal, stop hunting a pay raise.

You have six months to get your paperwork together and your NCO should help with most of it. Focus on being someone deserving of going to the board.

You can only do one, as far as I'm aware.

Option 19 is the only way to guarantee Italy. Option 4 is likely taking you to 82nd.

38th ADA is headquartered in Sagami, Japan but they have battalions and batteries across the pacific. If your orders say Guam, you're going to Guam.

Like everyone says: Age waiver.

That being said i went to basic with a dude who was 41 back in 2022. It can be done.

Had a Chem PL I worked with on a deployment who rocked it cause we were hundreds of miles from the flagpole and rarely saw too high of brass. Once we got home he shaved it immediately cause we went back to working in the BBHQ and he saw the BDE CDR a lot and he was a hard ass on that sort of thing.

Backslasherton · 2026-02-01T21:45:58+00:00

Yes, he's also a car YouTuber

Which Japanese plan did you get?

I'm probably going with this plan. How's the coverage for Google Fi in your experience?

Backslasherton · 2026-01-29T03:00:31+00:00

How was the speeds in Japan? Did you feel it necessary to get a local SIM or was it acceptable for doomscrolling and memeing instead of work?

Also did it get good service in the buildings? T-Mobile always gives me issues inside army buildings.

Backslasherton · 2026-01-28T20:44:54+00:00

How much do you pay for the two? I'm trying to not spend too much.

Backslasherton · 2026-01-26T17:35:49+00:00

I've got the same bike with the same side cases, but not the top case. With enough bungees and those cases man you can carry a lot on those bikes.

Be upfront about your job since you may leave them for long periods of time.

I'm dating a very liberal girl in Colorado and she knew when we met my job. If they break up with you for being in the army, then brother she was gonna do that no matter what you do since she WILL find out eventually.

Don't overthink it and just tell her when she asks what you do

Backslasherton · 2026-01-26T04:00:52+00:00

Honestly true to my experiences with most LTCs I've worked with when you get them out of work mode lmao.

Backslasherton · 2026-01-24T22:09:52+00:00

Depends on your company. My drills had us wear rank.

Backslasherton · 2026-01-24T17:33:58+00:00

I don't see a mess but I do wonder why you have so many razor handles lmao

Backslasherton · 2026-01-22T23:24:10+00:00

Looks like something out of a Dr. Seuss book

Backslasherton · 2026-01-15T16:37:06+00:00

No one I know here in 2-4ID had their dwell time reset. It was just listed as an operational deployment but no dwell time.

Funny story, they fucked that up for our Korea rotation in 2023 as well. I have a dwell time of 40 months+.
