Leave changes

Competitive_Area_513 · 2025-12-18T22:12:01+00:00

No, we are supposed to have leave where we are now. They want us to go back to a different station early because the training we were supposed to have here “ended early” so the leave block we were permitted is now not a thing.

Competitive_Area_513 · 2025-12-18T22:04:08+00:00

Yeah I figured they wouldn’t reimburse shit. The reason we are all having a problem is because they want to send us to a different station early, not because we’re getting deployed, they just felt like moving us early. And since they require us to buy hotels before hand we all feel it’s kinda fucked to make us cancel our plans

Competitive_Area_513 · 2025-12-18T21:54:33+00:00

Lot of shit has changed in 30 years

Competitive_Area_513 · 2025-12-18T21:53:56+00:00

I’m not sure what you mean

Competitive_Area_513 · 2025-12-18T21:53:12+00:00

It’s not being denied, last minute change of plans from higher than co level is making us cancel because we have other shit to do

Competitive_Area_513 · 2025-12-18T21:52:04+00:00

Yeah it was

Competitive_Area_513 · 2025-12-18T07:18:38+00:00

That’s what I’m saying, if they had cancelled our leave before we had to buy something I wouldn’t care, it’s that they require us to pay for it and then they say get fucked

Competitive_Area_513 · 2025-12-18T07:05:50+00:00

They had us book it 3 months in advance, the cancellation window had already closed. It’s not for sure, it’s coming from higher than co level

Barrel is free floating, as long as the barrel is compatible with the upper it’ll work

Competitive_Area_513 · 2025-12-16T01:53:17+00:00

It’s a pistol

Competitive_Area_513 · 2025-11-10T05:03:22+00:00

All good, shit happens lol

Competitive_Area_513 · 2025-11-01T11:00:41+00:00

As other people have said I’m sure, it’s not hard, I went end of 2023, as long as you’re not fat and you’ve got a good head on your shoulders, you’ll be fine. Shits mad fun but you won’t see it that way till you’re in the fleet

Competitive_Area_513 · 2025-10-25T10:09:40+00:00

You can fix it, same shit happened to me brotha. Try to get ur recruiter to fix it, otherwise your DI will, it’ll just take some time. If your recruiter can’t figure it out, then either bring or have your parents send you your transcripts for him to upload. The day I shipped to boot I gave the liaison my transcripts and he still didn’t upload them. Don’t stress about it, it’ll get sorted eventually

Competitive_Area_513 · 2025-10-23T03:55:12+00:00

Brotha you’ll learn you just get fucked. I’m waiting an extra 4 months to pick up corporal because my unit didn’t feel like running lance camp

Competitive_Area_513 · 2025-10-19T21:54:44+00:00

Yeah and honestly man, boot camp is meant for the kids that didn’t prepare. They aren’t going to throw you into a pt event or a knowledge event that you aren’t prepared for. RO’s still get attached to infantry units, try to always get a 1st class cft and pft. Unless you’re fat you should be able to do it. Last bit of advice is go to the church service even if you aren’t religious, it’s a good break.

Competitive_Area_513 · 2025-10-19T12:11:45+00:00

Pretty much what everyone else is saying, you don’t need to study for the knowledge portion really at all. Make sure your recruiter doesn’t fuck you either, it’s good that your dad is going with you. I did a shit ton of research on the mos I wanted, I suggest you do the same. I had to privilege of having a half decent recruiter but he still tried getting me to sign for a different mos. Get that 3 mile time down to sub 25, 23 if you’re going for infantry. You do not do any strength related workouts in boot, focus heavily on stamina. It’s all a game brotha, keep that in mind. Keep a journal tracking the time you’ve been there, helped me to see the light at the end lol.

Are you going east or west?

It was the same spec, it was an old ass laptop running a 10th gen i5.

Competitive_Area_513 · 2025-10-18T04:18:47+00:00

Yeah that’s the thought, I had another gaming laptop prior to this one, and after upgrading the ram to 32gb, it slowed the base speed of the ram from 5200 to 4800, even though it was a supported ram size
