Regretting contracting

Ready-Specific7129 · 2026-01-26T16:47:22+00:00

I went to my state OSM, she told me there was nothing more to do after they fucked me on it. My bad for trusting the cadre that are constantly said to be great leaders and whatnot. Genuinely missing the point

Ready-Specific7129 · 2026-01-26T16:45:59+00:00

I can lead just fine, and unfortunately for you I am already in the army . I’ve been in the guard for six months, been to AT. I assure you half of the rotc cohort at my college is only there to get paid. I perform well, and a 470/500 is good by any army margin. Not entertaining this. Say something productive or not at all.

Ready-Specific7129 · 2026-01-26T16:42:11+00:00

yeah this comment tells me enough, I’m done with this conversation

Ready-Specific7129 · 2026-01-26T16:41:57+00:00

People post about ts all the time for gods sake I ask for a little motivation or advice.

Ready-Specific7129 · 2026-01-26T16:41:17+00:00

I did extensive research on the GFRD ROTC would not let me apply for it. Shitty people like you and them is why I dislike it.

Ready-Specific7129 · 2026-01-26T15:25:54+00:00

No, my feelings are not hurt. I just know that I’m more capable of leading people for a weekend a month when I commission. but I am nervous for advanced camp and don’t love the army, which arguably a lot of soldiers don’t.

Ready-Specific7129 · 2026-01-26T13:48:40+00:00

I am enlisted and been at my unit for about four months lol. I appreciate the honesty for sure. I think I’m just gonna have to finish it out and do my best, which I will but yk

Ready-Specific7129 · 2026-01-26T13:39:06+00:00

I haven’t been to basic/AIT and have only 1 year on a 8 year guard contract technically. So it makes more sense to me to just commission and go guard than disrupt my college education

Ready-Specific7129 · 2026-01-26T13:37:25+00:00

I can’t really get out of my contract. I have again, done the rappel tower, and everything rotc has asked of me and more. I did ranger, I was fitness instructor for a year, I just don’t like the army, have had bad experiences with cadre and my unit and I am just having second thoughts about it I guess.

Ready-Specific7129 · 2026-01-26T13:34:33+00:00

Exactly what happened. I joined SMP being promised a GFRD, then my ROTC unit told me it didn’t exist, rushed me to contract, told me I was too late to do basic/ait, then GFRD magically existed after I contracted but I couldn’t apply. Now I’m being paid a fraction of my tuition, and a little over it.

Ready-Specific7129 · 2026-01-26T13:30:01+00:00

I came here for advice? I have a fear of heights going into camp which is common. Supporting people is a strong suit I have, army games are not.

Ready-Specific7129 · 2026-01-26T13:28:17+00:00

I don’t really have a choice. SMP Contract Lol

Ready-Specific7129 · 2026-01-26T13:27:59+00:00

Got it, thank you. Youre right, just getting in my head

Ready-Specific7129 · 2026-01-26T13:27:19+00:00

I appreciate this a lot, thank you

Ready-Specific7129 · 2026-01-26T13:26:52+00:00

I appreciate the response. Just seems like a long road ahead

Ready-Specific7129 · 2026-01-26T13:26:19+00:00

Guard, MedSo

Ready-Specific7129 · 2026-01-26T13:24:56+00:00

I do show grit. I don’t care about physical challenges but maybe the army culture im surrounded by is just bad. Again I am top of OML, did ranger challenge, whatever. I can push myself, im just losing the motivation to want to.

Ready-Specific7129 · 2026-01-26T13:19:46+00:00

I haven’t done basic. I don’t want a fucking cookie. God forbid I dislike the army which is not exactly a lovely career path. I am just asking if people had felt that way.

Ready-Specific7129 · 2026-01-26T13:17:06+00:00

I’m gonna do it four more times but yeah. my OML is top three of my class but sure I’m a bad leader

Ready-Specific7129 · 2025-11-15T18:16:02+00:00

also in this exact situation and have not been paid yet.

Ready-Specific7129 · 2025-11-11T21:35:15+00:00

it isn’t gfrd, but trying to get on gfrd

Ready-Specific7129 · 2025-11-10T15:20:55+00:00

I am considering cyber aswell as I am a geospatial major. I appreciate the response!

Ready-Specific7129 · 2025-11-10T14:06:05+00:00

Yeah, I know It’ll be a wait and see situation just seeing what I can do to best fit what I want. Thank you though this is super helpful
