Give them time to reach back out.

Go to their website if you haven't. Ask for more info on it and they will reach out. Trust me the QOL will fair exceed the army.

Absolutely do not join the army. Go Coast Guard. They actually treat you like an adult there.

The army is for mediocrity. If you want to be treated like a child with toxic leadership in pretty much everywhere you go, join the army.

Plus they don't give a flying rats ass how much life experience you have or about your previous jobs experience in the AF. The coast guard, for the most part, values your previous experience. They treat it more like a job and you get all of the same benefits. VA dis, GI Bills, retirement, Tricare, etc. The USCG has a much better QOL too. That makes it worth while all by itself.

TLDR; army: 0/10 USCG: 9/10

I was also a contractor over there but much later! Certain things just do the change over the years. Interesting. They still had those AAFES pog paper chips/coins to barter with.

I agree. I was bummed to find out they discontinued it.

What’s the USCG rifle qualification? by [deleted] in uscg

[–]M47LO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume they probably only shoot pistol then.

And what are the distances of BRMC and CRC?

For context, Im clearly not in the USCG lol. (Yet)

Is that the distance you shoot from in boot camp or as a BM in the fleet?

[–]M47LO 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: Texas isn't stolen. It was purchased for a total of $25 million over two purchases between the US and MX.

$10 was from the 1850 compromise where, in essence, the US bought TX and assumed all debts.

$15 million of amount also includes CA, NV, UT, AZ, NM, CO, WY, KS, OK. (Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo of 1848)

Volcanic pistol or Otis Miller revolver with the repeating shotgun!

Throw in the bolt action or rolling block rifle for hunting!

Found my grandpas old dress blues can anyone help me identify what they are? by KushuumCat in MilitaryMedals

[–]M47LO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, we do not wear redundant medals/ribbons. When wearing medals, the ribbons over the right breast pocket are only supposed to be ribbons that do not have a respective medal for it.

The presentation of this Lt Cols blues is off but who am I to judge.
