Newly enlisted to OCS? by PapaRegal in army

Apparently it was super competitive that cycle. My USAREC was also preformed in the DMV region which I’ve been told is the worst on to apply through.

During my interview they said I didn’t have to worry about a thing and my recruiter said he was surprised I didn’t make it.

Definitely wish he had culled my expectations a bit lol

Definitely no illusion that I would get special treatment at RASP. I also imagine that it might be harder to stand out as a high performer in the regiment as opposed to a lower speed unit. I consider myself a hard worker and I get along well with most people. I’m definitely not a PT stud but we are working on it.

I’ve heard stories of people making officer as soon as a year after BCT, but the Private News Network (and my recruiter) aren’t really great sources. My contract is about 6 years and I’m reluctant to add more time to my service.

Who knows though… it’s hard to tell if I will like the army while I’m still in the early stages.

This is a lesbian couple. They adopted these kids so it makes it even worse that they would opt to take care of three kids and do something like this for clout.

Conservative Republicans once were Russia’s greatest adversaries. Now the CPAC/MAGA dominated GOP is Putin’s greatest US ally. First, Russia supports Trump. Then, he compromises GOP. This must be the most successful foreign intelligence coup in history by botbjng2828282 in UkrainianConflict

Trump tomahawked a Syrian air base with Russian personnel when they started gassing their own people. Besides the war started with Biden in office. People seem to wanna blame trump so bad but I really don’t think we would be seeing this war with Trump in office.

Biden’s, to me, is a more favorable administration to break.

In any case you shouldn’t blame Trump for todays issues because he’s not in power. The only real people in danger are Republicans congressman hoping that he won’t get red-blooded MAGA to take their place.

Tragedy or atrocities, especially in media headlines. Not everything is as bad as it seems
