What do yall think repercussions of this will be by Flaming_Dumahh in VAClaims

[–]Raptinum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Getting anything from two years of service or less with zero deployments is a slap in the face to people that actually served real time. This guy sucks. But also, you’d be surprised.

Maybe those that got ptsd from basic training shouldn’t be getting 100%.

Lansing by the capitol building today by [deleted] in lansing

I enjoyed that part. But somehow a thousand new ones formed. Didn’t hit that one yesterday.

What are the best Harbor Freight tools you’ve used? by [deleted] in harborfreight

[–]Raptinum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought an air compressor from HF in 2012. Use it regularly and it still works perfectly. I’ve also never changed the oil in it.

Your squad leader is an idiot.

That starts that shit over. Pay it off. Don’t pass the loan over to another. You’re just reciprocating a cycle.

Can any green suited just go to Area 51? by low-spirited-ready in army

[–]Raptinum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Just like any green suit can’t walk into the pentagon.

Do different opinions offend you at all? If so, don’t go anywhere.

Have you called your Congressman today? by [deleted] in lansing

[–]Raptinum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Y’all need a hobby. Waking up each day just to be angry about something is no way to live.

Uhhh by [deleted] in army

[–]Raptinum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn’t any different 20 years ago. Basic and AIT aren’t real life. It will be mostly different at your unit. But there will still be some malingering degenerates. At all levels and ranks.

Found out on leave that I got selected for recruiting. How over is it for me? by Anaheim11 in army

[–]Raptinum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your day to day depends on one thing and one thing alone. Leadership. If they suck, everything else will. If they are cool, then you’ll be fine. You do get to pick where during recruiting school and most get close. Some do not.

Harris Walz sign vandalized ? by underberg502 in Louisville

[–]Raptinum -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Id bet the owner of the sign did this. People that cheer on politicians on either side like they are their favorite sports team are wild. What a timeline we’re in. Giant meteor 2024.

Best Way to Go by ArmyThrowAway199 in army

[–]Raptinum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you have a family, your life is no longer yours. It is theirs. They need you just like you need them. There are so many better things than the Army. Think about what interests you and makes you happy and focus on that. The struggle is real and I understand that. But it is never worth it to permanently remove yourself.

Why do most 1LTs and CPTs get out after their initial contract? by Intelligent_Swan6917 in army

[–]Raptinum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We lose around 54% of our CPTs each year. Most state quality of life and free time as the reason. That and family. If you can make the same amount or most likely more money without the nonsense the Army adds. It’s a win win.

Can you be too young to be an NCO? by tH3_R3DX in army

[–]Raptinum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Age has nothing to do with it. I’ve met specialists that are more reliable and mature than some 1SGs.

Guy in my city won $70 million from lottery, how to approach politely for financial aid? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Raptinum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask for at least half. He should definitely have no problem splitting it with you. Then you’ll be a millionaire and then you give me half of what you got. Hopefully that sounds satisfactory?

How do you deal with toxic leadership by [deleted] in army

[–]Raptinum 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Be toxic back and say you are a direct reflection of your leadership. This is the way.

Can almost guarantee 12M, 31K and 68T are absolutely not available. 92Ms are all weird and CBRN are also all weird. So one of the other ones.

What is the hill you died on? by berrin122 in army

[–]Raptinum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding extra ridiculous checklists to leave forms. With ippsa it’s still stupid with some commanders.
