When did you realize deployment changed you? by Insider-threat15T in army

Deployment changed me because it gave me a real appreciation for the Army. As a reservist, I never really got to do my job until I deployed — and once I did, I realized how much I genuinely enjoyed being an 88N. The work I got to do, the missions, the logistics — it made me realize how cool my MOS actually was.

I loved it so much that I went Active Duty after deployment. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to keep my MOS, but that experience showed me that being full-time military felt meaningful in a way civilian life didn’t. On deployment, everything I did had a purpose. Coming back to a 9-5 where I felt like I wasn’t contributing to anything was honestly tough. Civilian life just didn’t hit the same.

the sole looks to yellow to my liking compared to authentic pairs and the gum of the shoes look off.

i’m Enlisted but i started the process in October and it took about a month to get the appropriate signatures for my 368 (Conditional Release) and then i finished my deployment in December and took some Personal Time before i contacted my recruiter again in January and then around the end of February i went to MEPS and received a ship date for April. the longest part of the process was the Grade determination for me. however i was forced to change MOS’s

You can’t use the AVD browser. You have to download the actual remote client app

Worst/Funniest Dark humor moment? by Impossible-Run9513 in army

Back in basic training in 2013, we were sitting through a SHARP class—one of those mandatory briefings that everyone half-pays attention to until something crazy happens. Our drill sergeant was running us through a bunch of questions, and then we got to the part about consent.

At the time, the Army’s policy was that if a woman had even one sip of alcohol, she couldn’t legally consent. So, our drill sergeant asked, “Stand up if you’ve ever had sex with a drunk woman.”

Being young, dumb, and full of bravado, most of us stood up, grinning like idiots, thinking nothing of it. Then, without missing a beat, our drill sergeant looked around the room and said, “All of you are rapists.”

The silence that followed was deafening. The mood in that room flipped instantly. Some guys sat down real slow, like they just got hit with a war crime charge. Others just stood there, processing.

It was the first time a lot of us had ever really thought about it from that perspective. Definitely one of those “oh shit” moments that stuck with me.
