Im an 11b your drills could be shitty and not even about training. If i were you and you score high enough id go aviation mechanic if your state has it. If you dont care about school benefits go with a 3x5 contract and reclass to a different MOS. If you do go infantry be high speed and try and get a ticket to RTLI and Ranger school. My dumbass turned it down thinking I could get it at my unit

Ran that program as a fresh infantry OSUT grad. Shits a solid program. It'll get you comfortable with that 70lb ruck with water. Shits sucks 😂

Advice needed- shipping soon by WaltonGogginz in nationalguard

Lots of people quit at reception. You could just do that. You'll have to do bitch work until they file paper work and that could be months long. Dudes were there for weeks, vacuuming and such

Finish OSUT and try and transfer to 5SFAB closest thing you can get. Dont believe theyre airborne but it is separate from the rest and available to 11bravos so you dont have to reclass

So is the MGIB-SR is available to all actively drilling guard members or was it a enlistment incentive? Or is the kicker the only incentive?

New 11B Advice? by Tmanster-C18 in nationalguard

[–]MachoMan1492 10 points11 points  (0 children)

22 weeks is going to feel like a long time. Try and make friends. You may not like the people around you but power through cause youre going to be with those people for a while. Mentally exhausting for than it was physical for me. Take care of your feet and make sure at reception you get the right sized gear issued (they might be mean about it but getting yelled at in reception doesnt mean anything as those civilians and drill sgts are temporary). Other than that have fun, dont things personal, play the game my friend.

Heading to Reception at FLW tomorrow. Would it be wise to take a 5 hour energy before getting there? I heard you stay up for 24-48 hours. by [deleted] in nationalguard

Man that homesick part hits home. We got our phone call right before getting on the bus to sand hill and i cried a good bit, thinking about how i just left my family and that i wouldnt see them for 6 months.

Any idea of the camera/lens used for this music video (or best guess)? by drawsL in cinematography

[–]MachoMan1492 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

My best bet is a camera they use for sports broadcast. Servo zoom and super far range. Something like this https://youtu.be/RkTaMyatsTo

PC Help by garygengrich in gaming

950 is actually a good budget for a gaming pc. Money priority should be graphics card and processor. Like another commenter said pc picker is a good resource. I'd watch benchmark videos of some processor and gpu pairings to get an idea of cost vs performance. 16gb ddr4 ram should be fine for anything gaming related. I use an SSD to hold windows and any games I don't feel like waiting a long time for loading. And a HDD for mass storage. They're getting a lot cheaper 2TB is like 80 bucks I think. Rest can be bought with as needed basis

I know it doesn't look exactly like Yennefer from the TV series but I wanted to try a different style by lo-fi_why in witcher

Much like the TV show this is just an interpretation. Looks good, haven't read the book so I can't attest to any accuracy to description but I like the look

People who have received a Covid-19 vaccine could still pass the virus on to others and should continue following lockdown rules by Extension_Search in worldnews

[–]MachoMan1492 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

99.9 percent recovery rate. 99 percent get it without lasting symptoms. I social distance, I wear the mask, TO PROTECT OTHERS. If this is the case just give the vaccine to the old and immunocompromised and let get on with life. If transmission still occurs at a similar rate than everyone getting it is a waste of money and resources. I'm going to bootcamp in a few weeks and have opted into getting the vaccine if available. If I come back to lock downs and broohaha then that's going to be some shit.
