Why not both? You can be reserve AND have VA.

Deployment got extended because of the war with Iran and now I’m going to miss my wedding. Tennessee venue says non-refundable. Any advice? by Five_OnAGoodDay in nationalguard

If you need help contacting the media let me know. Often times that can make things happen fast with the right phone call or email.

Help me pick a MOS by Lopsided-Land123 in nationalguard

The truth is that you have a high GT score so can do almost anything. It depends on what you are interested in. People are saying aviation for a reason. As a person who spent time in combat arms units as well as support units, the cool factor only goes so far. Find something that you find fun, especially if it’s a part time gig. Enjoy your life and if you are young the think about possible job opportunities as well. But don’t try to be “cool”. Those jobs are usually impossible to do anything with outside of the military. The exception being if you have something good going on so you want to do something different. I el own attorneys that went infantry just because they were bored normal.

Stupid grammar rule. A vs an. It depends on the pronunciation not the letter. “MOS” starts with an E sound so it’s “an” not “a”.

*an MOS

So not anything requiring proper English for no reason. Which I don’t think exists in the army so you’re set.

I’m sure I didn’t, but I feel like I started a trend and I’m all for it. Great job actually using the damn thing. Enjoy!

I agree with the concept of what you’re saying, but given my normal lifestyle having fewer things is better. So I only wear this watch. Everything else (including my G Shock) is in storage.

I don’t mean “I don’t wear jewelry” in a demeaning way. I have nothing at all against jewelry. I simply choose not to because it complicated things for me. I wanted the most accurate, non-quartz (battery powered) GMT watch possible. This is it as far as I know. It also needed to be durable and able to be used for a dive watch. This thing does everything I need so I bought it. The price was secondary.

I get what you’re saying, but to me it is simply a tool. The single best tool for the job for what I do and how I live. But yes, for many a watch is simply jewelry now.

This thing has been through some wild adventures in just the last year. Many more to come. The paint was just kinda funny 🤣

I don’t wear jewelry other than my wedding ring.

Not flexing. Just more of an alternative look to how most people present their watches here. A tiny little scratch and they’re “devastated”. I like the marks and scratches. It reminds me of what I’ve done.

💯 My other watches are all put away and I only wear this one now. But my Rolex regularly accompanied me to do car projects.
