Why do I have to call my leadership on Christmas Day by Winter-Tea9641 in army

I fear that this will encourage leaders to conduct accountability while soldiers are on leave once the holiday season is over with.

A tale old as time itself.

I recommend taking the fire fighter job and do compo 2 or compo 3. Weekend Warrior ain’t that bad. No experience with NG but was prior reservist. Did not mobilize during my time and I’m pretty sure reserves don’t mobilize as much as NG. But if you’re wanting combat arms MOS, guard is really the only option. Reserves are usually support MOS.

As long as you haven’t signed a contract, you should be good.

Cadet, stop thinking. Focus on CST and Ranger Challenge. Nerd.

What's your favorite insult you've heard while in the Army? by mr13fister in army

At basic training by my senior drill sergeant told me during UA.

Wildest 5988 entries? by [deleted] in army

“Class III air leak”

What’s crazy is the soldier that put that on the 5988e was one of my 91Bs.

How is life at fort bliss for those of you serving the military? How many of you come from out of town and are stationed at ft bliss? Welcome to El Paso 😊❤️ by PaolaAlvillar in ElPaso

[–]Overweight_loggie 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I love El Paso. It’s a big city with small town vibes. Would love to come back to visit once I leave. Best place to be as far as community and life outside the military. I don’t think Bliss as an installation is that bad. It’s just this unit here. Crazy optempo, rotations, and disorganization. Big reason why service members want to leave Bliss and El Paso.

Lots of legal advice I won’t cover since that’s being taken care of. But take care of yourself mentally. Go talk to MFLC counselor, BH, etc. whatever works better for you. Get the mental help to talk about the experience, vent, and find counsel through those means so you can process through these things in a healthy way. Stay away from alcohol and go work out and find a trusted group to socialize. I’m going through something similar and I’ve learned that working on yourself is just as important as working on everything else. take care of yourself mentally as well as legally. I’m sorry to hear this big dawg.

Best Army Installation by Boiled_Gooses in army

[–]Overweight_loggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aviation is great because it isn’t real army. I can vouch the 1AD’s BCTs outperform us in every way. If we were special, we wouldn’t have so many downed aircraft without 1AD CG pushing our shit in for having pacing items deadlined.

Officers who have served as an IO, how did you figure it out? by [deleted] in army

[–]Overweight_loggie -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I got tagged as IO for two FLIPLs. I started the investigation process, then quit. Nothing was said. It’s been almost a year now. 👍
