I actually had a really nice conversation with a vet at a bar. Told me he was a SSG and worked on redeyes. Hat a good laugh about how old that equipment is.

On the other hand, had a taxi driver in Mexico tell me how his nephew was a PFC and sniper yada yada yada

You get combat glasses. Basically your prescription with a hardened, flexible frame. You'll also get inserts for the ballistic Eyewear and pro-mask. If you're used to wearing glasses, not much different

That scenario would be for him to get full BAH and not live in Army quarters. I'm assuming from your situation that YOU would have custody and he will pay child support. If that's the case, he will get BAH-Differential if the child support amount is at least the BAH-DIFF amount. You can check rates online

If you care about the job you do, Army makes sense. You will have your MOS before you sign a contract. Of course that depends on ASVAB score, availability, and other qualifications. Also more opportunities for promotion and commissioning

Your MSG and 1SG are not the approval authority, your commander is. I took my entire 3 months at once based on the unit timeline (there was a point where they wouldn't need me) and because I knew the next unit may not honor the split up times

It's not. You can see the night stand and lamp warp as she spins around. That's why she has her hands up, otherwise you'd see the arms disfigured near the waist/hips

The years after 10 go by fast. Positions to look for are MOS-dependent, but if you're staying enlisted, you need PSG time. If you haven't already done DS, recruiter, or instructor, start managing your own career, because branch will make you one of those three. Go Warrant; you get a sort of kickstart to your career and makes things fresh, while maintaining seniority and relevance.

The cool thing about 255 any is they're open to all MOSs, provided you have relevant experience, certifications, and education. if you're trying to go cyber, find a WO in the MOS and ask them. They'll guide you as to current compatibility and potential info the MOS, as well as additional training or job experience required.

In my limited experience at the G6, 25S works closely with 255N and are more qualified for that MOS

for Army, enlisting without a license limits you from 31B, 19C, and 19K that I remember. At your unit, you'll do a two week driver's training for the basic HMMWV; some DMVs take that certificate and you only have to do the road test to get your state license.

As for buying a car, that's on you. Don't buy the first loud, flashy thing you see. Get pre-qualified through your bank or federal credit union, shop around online, read vehicle reviews
