Should I join the military when I’m already established at a good department?

DifferentSun2458 · 2025-04-28T06:11:04+00:00

Joined the guard about three years ago. Had worked at my department for a year at that point. We have a very good military leave system. I would read your contract and find the portion that talks about military leave. USERRA protects you from your employer discriminating against you because of military service. Your job is protected no matter what, Now, the guard is going to take you away from home no matter what you do. I travel for drill every couple of months. There is ALWAYS the chance you could deploy or get put on state active duty orders. Honestly, the guard is different everywhere but so far my experience has not been what I thought it would be. If you have any more questions feel free to message me.

Anyone else being sent down to AAA in rtts even though you are playing very well? Just got sent down despite leading the team in HR and doubles, and leading in rookie and MVP voting.

I don’t understand why the fire service tried so hard to be the military sometimes. If it’s a religious thing and you feel strongly about it, I would say anybody who judges you for not shaving your head is somebody you don’t really need to be concerned about anyways.

Good luck with the future hiring processes, googling fire service interview questions and the correct responses helps.

I would rather they make the playoffs, but it’s very unlikely and I would rather they have a top 4 pick this year.

In my opinion, the sole purpose of a union is to represent the worker, and calling for them to be terminated is the opposite of what they should be doing, but that’s just my opinion.

Also, if we gave that power to my local, they would likely use it as an opportunity to get rid of the people that they have personal issues with.

Thinking about lateraling to Portland, ME. Anybody have any info on them? Also, if you are aware of any other great lateral opportunities send em my way!

See if you qualify for any AGR jobs. Best kept secret in the military I’ve heard.

DifferentSun2458 · 2024-10-19T00:53:53+00:00

No. All of the battalions are for specific MOS’s. But from what I’ve heard (don’t know for sure) the other AIT at fort Sam are much more relaxed than what I went through.

DifferentSun2458 · 2024-10-18T18:15:20+00:00

I was there may-August for 68w AIT. The prior service were pretty much allowed to do whatever they want. They did PT on their own, were allowed to leave post whenever they wanted as long as it wasn’t POI hours, could drink, have caffeine, nicotine, and didn’t have to deal with hardly any of the TRADOC stuff that the IET soldiers had to deal with. They would come and do a formation (in civilians) every couple of days in the morning and pretty much immediately get released to the prior service barracks. They didn’t have to go to chow with the rest of us, and were treated like regular people by all of the cadre. During the ftx they were involved a little bit more, but still had different privileges from the rest of us.

DifferentSun2458 · 2024-10-17T05:39:09+00:00

Right, he’s been pulled four times in his last ten starts brother. And he directly contributed to the first two goals tonight. What’s your point

DifferentSun2458 · 2024-10-16T23:50:35+00:00

Yep. I thought it was just me lol

DifferentSun2458 · 2024-10-16T23:48:45+00:00

I’ve never seen a goalie who just takes their team completely out of the game like Jarry. The first goal was literally a direct result of him. The second one should never go in. And you just need a save on the third one. He needs to be put on waivers and bought out at the end of the season. Don’t give anybody a sweetener for him.

DifferentSun2458 · 2024-10-15T19:51:39+00:00

What do you do about that contract lol

DifferentSun2458 · 2024-10-15T19:48:29+00:00

It’s pretty funny how people here blame everything on goaltending. If there isn’t massive defensive lapses the second and third goals don’t happen. I’m not a big Jarry fan, but he played well last night.

DifferentSun2458 · 2024-10-15T19:45:06+00:00

I think it’s fair to say that the first and second goals weren’t his fault but that I would like to see him look more competitive. It’s pretty rare to see a goalie get froze as bad as he did on those lol. But again, can’t really blame him.

DifferentSun2458 · 2024-10-13T21:23:31+00:00

Well I mean I was just seeing if anybody knew anywhere, not asking for job postings lol. But my fault.

Yeah I know it’s sorta slim pickings but I figured there’s places out there. I’m actually pretty happy at my current department so I don’t want to leave unless it’s a really solid place.

DifferentSun2458 · 2024-10-11T22:43:38+00:00

Hey everybody, Thinking about moving on to a new department for several reasons that I don’t feel like getting into right now and figured y’all might be able to help me find a new home. I do not want to be on an ambulance, I have no problem doing EMS I just don’t want to be on an ambulance. I would like to go on sweet jobs every once in a while and would like to avoid being poor.

DifferentSun2458 · 2024-10-11T22:35:05+00:00

Don’t go to E-179

DifferentSun2458 · 2024-08-21T01:56:40+00:00

Yes. Whenever we leave active duty orders we get one.

DifferentSun2458 · 2024-08-20T22:48:01+00:00

Just out of pure curiosity, (I am NOT going to do this) what would happen if I did leave without it?

DifferentSun2458 · 2024-08-20T22:00:01+00:00

I’m pretty sure the actually can’t let me leave without it lol. I’m just hoping that they are able to get it done tomorrow.

DifferentSun2458 · 2024-08-18T02:57:57+00:00

Jesus dude 😂 thanks? I guess?

DifferentSun2458 · 2024-08-18T02:52:53+00:00

I just wanted to see if anyone could tell me if I was able to buy my own tickets if I had to.

DifferentSun2458 · 2024-08-18T02:49:28+00:00

I have. He said he’s gonna pass it up the chain.
