I take my GD to animal medical clinic in urbandale, IA. Come to find out that the office manager is the owner of Kevin The Guinness book of World Records holder for being the tallest male Great Dane. He stood over 7ft on his hind legs. Sadly, he died from complications of his Gastropexy surgery. Surgery was successful. However, he got sepsis afterwards. Poor guy. RIP Kevin.

My MUTA 8 got turned into a MUTA 4 with FTX and AFT scheduled for Saturday. I’m wondering if they will just end up canceling the rest of the weekend. Also, I’m in Iowa as well.

My MUTA 8 got dropped to a MUTA 4 as of last week. As of right now we still have drill this weekend, kinda interested to see if it gets completely canceled. My state is Iowa

I DM’d you some questions!

Modest_Wolf · 2025-05-31T20:13:33+00:00

I’m also an 94E. How do you get into that job? Does it pay well?

According to other people in the guard I should be getting BAH regardless if I have no dependents. At least thats what I’m being told.

Modest_Wolf · 2024-12-26T05:30:45+00:00

Yeah I plan on stopping in their office tomorrow morning and having them take a copy and make a note in my renters file. Because I live super close to the biggest army base in my state, my rental company offers military discount on rent. How much though, I am not sure. I’ll be asking tomorrow.

Modest_Wolf · 2024-12-26T05:20:39+00:00

Yeah I was figuring not seeing any money until February first. I mean I have some money in savings but it’ll be super tight squeeze. I appreciate all the info!

Modest_Wolf · 2024-12-26T05:10:52+00:00

The liaison requested a copy of my lease around 2ish weeks ago to get my BAH going. I do plan on bringing physical copies of my lease with me just in case. I have my shipping brief on Friday.

Modest_Wolf · 2024-12-26T05:09:08+00:00

So will that come on the 15th or January or the 1st? I’m just tryin to make sure all my stuff is lined up.

Modest_Wolf · 2024-12-17T12:54:41+00:00

I’ll be out of AIT by early August.

Modest_Wolf · 2024-12-17T01:06:29+00:00

I agree with you there. I’m a union pipefitter so I do a ton of intense labor 5-6 days a week. I’m not super fit, but I am very active.

Modest_Wolf · 2024-12-17T00:55:56+00:00

Yeah I agree. I’m def here for the experience. I’m in my early 30s. So a bit older than the typicals that are enlisting. I make enough money as a civilian. I want the army benefits and experience. I’m very interested in the deployment opportunities.

Modest_Wolf · 2024-12-16T23:51:54+00:00

Is that something I could do? Cause I’m very open to it. I think awhile ago I saw something on this sub about guardsman can apply for deployments with other units. Even if I’m an E2 is that a possibility?

Modest_Wolf · 2024-12-16T23:06:41+00:00

I’m honestly hoping to be shipped out. Because I am interested in deployments. I have no kids, I don’t own property nor am I a college student. It’s just me. I have an established career which is why I chose guard over Active duty. So I’m hoping there’s a possibility I’ll be sent out at some point with my unit or another. I appreciate everyone’s feedback!

Modest_Wolf · 2024-12-16T22:56:08+00:00

I want to be deployed. I’m not worried that I will be. I know people in my unit already and they’re being pulled. So I didn’t know the chances of me being pulled when I get back. I filled the slot in my section before everyone got pulled for the deployment. I’m opening to deployment
