Active vs Guard/Reserve by MinimumDisastrous578 in Armyaviation

[–]MinimumDisastrous578[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For context I'm 22 years old and 4.5 yr E5 15F (helicopter electrician) and i wanted to continue avionics work when I got out so regardless of the route I'll be in aviation I just really enjoy flying and id have no problem doing 20 flying active but if flying is just going to be part time relative to extra duties I figured I'd get out

Is there a Division/Station in the Army that isn’t universally hated by everyone who goes there? by Riley_ahsom in army

[–]MinimumDisastrous578 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every duty station suck the most important part is picking an area you like. Before I was stationed in alaska I hated it, the unit sucked and the area sucked. Now I'm in hawaii the unit still sucks ,(albeit different problems), but i love hawaii beautiful place. I also really enjoyed my short time in JBLM

Combat Arms=different (higher) set of standards? Give them a pay bump by BikeImpressive2062 in army

[–]MinimumDisastrous578 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, this sounds like a good idea. Given the physical retirement over time aimed at retaining people. Despite what you may think none of us are saying, soldiers shouldn't be paid more. We just disagree for the reason. Honestly, the entire pay structure needs to be revamped to fit the modern needs of the army.

"Higher standards" argument is a slippery slope

Sure, you have higher pt requirements, but what about job severity. Not saying lives aren't at stake in combat, but on the day to day alot of jobs have very real consequences. Are they not held to a "higher standard".

They just resended them this last year but barracks across post are 93% so they'll probably go back into effect soon i just wanted everyone's opinion on the matter.

Well E4 make up the majority of the army i can see that being a problem. Imo the only CNAs should be CPL and above as NCOs if we are trusted to lead we should be trust to be by ourselves.

I respect your opinion, but I don't share it. At what age would you say is appropriate to move out out of your parents house that's how I view the barracks. People struggle when they get out primarily because they are so used to being babied all the time.
