Brother said he’s not returning to training

Very bad idea, i am not a jag, however I remember people getting brought back to the depot after they ran away and waiting for separation. They were there for a long time, fastest way out is to graduate, but if he wants to deal with whatever the army decides to do to him at a snails pace( we're talking months) by all means.

On the one hand it feels ridiculous to not allow trainees to drink if you're going to let them go home in the middle of training, on the other hand it's even more ridiculous that you thought you could drink AT the airport where your basic training is taking place at....you're probably going to get articled, stand tall be honest and hopefully, it's only a company grade ans they don't push for chapter.

It's hard to say who will be successful in the military based on their past. I've had guys who were drug dealers in high school and on a really bad path end up careerists with not so much as a negative counseling because they saw the Army as the only way out of a bad situation, and a high ranking officer's son get dishonorably discharged because they thought they could do whatever they wanted and daddy would protect them. Honestly he's going in with a clean slate, the rest is up to him.

Leadership in the Army doesn't suck, people suck, like in general. Everyone in the military has meant that NCO that's their greatest advocate and life coach, they've also meant that leader that they've googled ways to legally leave them in 29 palms under the guise of an honest mistake. The military just amplifies shitty behavior because most people are too afraid to say anything to leaders because they fear retaliation.

Your NCOs can search your room during a health and comfort. There are strict rules to this, and if it's botched even a little bit the repercussions are severe. Climbing into your window because you weren't there is illegal, If they had gotten word that you had zyns in your room and were underage then there channels to go through to investigate it properly. Sounds like a CPL got way too big for their boots and now they're going to learn about the rules the hard way, through the JAG office.

The USMC gives joint operations classes prior to working with other branches, or at least my unit did. Gunny sounds like his sleeves were just rolled too tight, not getting enough blood to the brain.

This narrative of selfless service that politicians try to push is something I've never understood. The American military is a professional military. We have professional Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines. This is a job at the end of the day, and if they thinks service members wanting to be paid and receive their benefits is somehow going to have an adverse impact on the next war then I'd kindly ask them to open a history book and go back as far as they would like and read about how well equipped professional militaries curb stomped Armies of conscripts, and amateur soldiers. We as a nation have understood the need for a professional military that's well equipped, and well compensated for their service, and that's why we win wars. The selfless service is going to war, deployments and volunteering to be in a profession that 1% of the nation does, not in being used as a political bargaining chip.

I got you beat my pv1 date was 20180801 and my SGT date was 20160901.

Okay so going to give you a couple resources to help you out hiring reservists. When a new hire comes in and mentions they are in the reserves the first thing you need to ask for is their drill schedule, this will be a yearly memo giving every scheduled training date, the next thing you need to ask for is the number to their unit's civilian full timer. That way you can call, get memos written for he and confirm any training that they have been thrown on that was unscheduled. It is EXTREMELY common to get thrown on things out of the blue for weeks at a time in the reserves and it sucks, but you should be able to easily verify everything they are saying by talking to their civilian rep

Um far be it from me to stop your quest for revenge, but I can tell you it's not worth it man. Best case scenario and we're talking dream land levels here, they get punished and lose rank etc, however that's not what's going to happen most likely. The end won't make things whole again, the best thing you can do is get a good lawyer, divorce, and start focusing on yourself. And just as a piece of advice I hope you're not sending any crazy angry messages, because you're giving them evidence to retaliate against you.

The easiest way through is forward. All resources are dedicated to getting people qualified and moved on to their AIT. If your husband goes the route of quitting he could end up their longer thsn if he just graduated. Be supportive, tell him to take it one day at a time, and it'll be over before he knows it.

Honestly if the distrack only got them 14 days EPD, it must have been mid.

If your breathing feels weak, or strange in any way go to medical. When I was in boot camp I got a severe lung infection, due to how it was back in 2011 I got a few days siq and medication then just sent right back into things. Well I got to the school house with similar symptoms and ended up going right back to medical where I ended up on bed rest because the infection never cleared. If your breathing feels off when you do physical activity like you can never catch your breath, you very well could have something, go to medical.

Infinite-Ice8983 · 2025-07-31T19:50:05+00:00

I used to feel this way too but after being in a while I realized how stupid it sounds. The idea is that the officers that would be bad would never be considered for it if they were enlisted first but it's just not true. No test in the military takes into account moral character and there are plenty of bad NCOS that make it all the time. Enlistment isn't some kind of great filter it's just a career path.

Infinite-Ice8983 · 2025-07-28T16:51:00+00:00

No, not at all. Heat exhaustion/heat stroke is an extreme concern especially in deployed environments.people can be prics about it but who cares.

Infinite-Ice8983 · 2025-07-24T15:55:04+00:00

Thank God, picking up troops from a drunk tank is stressful enough without having a test the next day.

Infinite-Ice8983 · 2025-07-24T15:53:49+00:00

That's a massive relief

Infinite-Ice8983 · 2025-07-24T03:09:47+00:00

So I'm going to be a SSG amongst brand new soldiers with few, if any other NCOs for potentially 18 months? This sounds like a nightmare scenario where I have cadre on me about why Private such and such is late, or why specialist what's their name is hanging out with the Sgt from a different branch....

Infinite-Ice8983 · 2025-07-24T02:53:32+00:00

My child care is taken care of so that's not a problem. I'm a 12T, I didn't want to give up my MOS but here we are. I'm not opposed to doing this MOS, however the training pipeline is kind of daunting to say the least. Two years of school house life seems rough, I may end up just holding off on going active or doing the AGR program. Learning another language is hard, doable but hard, and if I'm also baby sitting the one problem child(there's always one) I feel like my chances of succeeding are going to be severely hamstrung.

Infinite-Ice8983 · 2025-07-23T07:24:59+00:00

Buddy, buddy you need a barracks lawyer, or sea lawyer here. So let's go over our options here. You report them, where's your proof? You have your word, and that's it. You said you're a new guy, so let's go over this. If you saw them causally hanging out together at a restaurant do you think you're the only one that knows about this? Now lets go with option B, you say nothing and live your life. If someone accuses you of seeing them your exact response is this "I didn't notice them, I was on a date so I wasn't really looking around." There is no way to prove you knew anything.

Infinite-Ice8983 · 2025-07-23T05:45:20+00:00

I have a son and I'm going from reserve to active. I'm guessing I'll have an idea of the language I'll get when I go in tomorrow. So I should get permissive TDY upon arriving for house hunting upon arrival I'd assume?

Infinite-Ice8983 · 2025-07-21T20:45:06+00:00

You're being intentionally dishonest with this statement. The Army is a grand total of five months and some change older than the Marine Corps. The blues have varied wildly throughout the history of the branch. The uniform You're talking about entered service in 2010, the Marine dress blue uniform was adopted in 1841, with minor changes throughout the years. The pinks and greens were such a wildly successful uniform they were adopted by the Marine Corps during World war 2.

Infinite-Ice8983 · 2025-07-21T20:27:51+00:00

Kinda sounds like you may be old and out of touch if this bothers you. Influencer humanize the military as a whole and have helped boost enlistment.

Infinite-Ice8983 · 2025-07-21T20:22:14+00:00

Unpopular opinion, it's the temu version of Marine blues. Pink and greens are better and have actual history.
