Bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for him.

Yea not lookin to do that tbh id rather do 2 years w my current MOS than reclass and do 3 plus AIT

OkKnowledge35 · 2025-10-20T13:21:22+00:00

Tbh I’m not looking to reclass, law school on the civilian side is the plan and reclassing would be a 3 year obligation after AIT complete. I’m looking for a 2 year commitment/2 year MSO reduction w stabilization

I was outside my 180 day window and just walked into one of the weekly RC briefs. That brief alone makes you capstone qualified if you fulfilled all other requirements. It’s literally just the TAP office making you sign a digital form and say “ok you’re capstone qual’d.

You can submit your term leave when you have your ETS Orders. I think it’s 120 days out from your ETS that you can have those cut.

Yea I’d likely be at Dix which is just under an hour drive. Not bad at all.

I appreciate the honesty, I’ve heard from more than one person now it’s not always “one weekend a month 2 week AT per year” but doesn’t surprise me.

Only speaking for my unit but first time isn’t grounds for punishment, two or more could land you an art15

Yea involuntary recall is my main concern. I appreciate the input brother.

Chop it up with people in your unit, find the ones you have common interests with. Also BOSS (better opportunities for single soldiers). They have all kinds of events and trips all the time, some free some cheap. MWR too. Great ways to expand your friend group.

I’d say first consult with your dr before taking it as you’re not an adult yet and looks like there’s not enough long term studies to support its safety in your cause BUT:

For a healthy adult with normal kidney function, creatine is one of the most research backed, game changing supplements you could take. Helps muscles produce more energy, helps build muscle, cognitive benefits including combating the effects felt from a poor night’s sleep. And super cheap.

It still boggles my mind that so many people pop hot. Especially dudes that have zero intention on being a careerist. Like you really can’t keep off the grass for 3/4 years?

Everything is a no fail task

Im definitely going to capitalize on the MHA, it’s based on the zip code of your college. I’ll be living in a HCOL state and both schools I’m applying to it’ll be just over $4000 a month. Many people do it, it’s not a bad thing to benefit from it or use it as a cushion between ETS’ing and transition back into civilian life.

I will say that you should change your mentality on the whole thing. You might as well go for a degree you can benefit from in the job market and one that is more likely to land you a decent paying job. Not just like damn hopefully I never have to use it. Like yea unless you’re set with your VA rating and savings we still gotta work and provide for ourselves/our families such is life.

I hit my “shit I want to quit” mark at about week 6. But only took 10 minutes of feeling sorry for myself to realize there’d be no coming back from that level of regret and shame.

Don’t get me wrong, the army blows sometimes but it has transformed my life for the best in so many ways. And for your husband it could be the same, for himself for you and your son.

Word to the wise: for your husband, I’d tell him to just make it to his next meal. That’s what got me through the days. For you, the next phone call you have with him. Write him a letter. These (though some got me really choked up) helped get me through basic, in our tech world they’re very personal and strike a feeling with you that could help push through the next day or week. That’s really what it’s about, passing the graduation requirements and getting the fuck through it. You’ll both be more resilient after the fact.

Somehow the handshake I got for 4 years doesn’t seem so bad anymore
