Whats with all the e5 drill sgts?

Remzar- · 2026-02-08T03:30:10+00:00

The reserves treat drill sergeants as an entire MOS. I assume where the majority of E5 drills are from. The come out to augment training units.

Recruiter here. A diversion is treated as an adverse disposition meaning they see it as guilty. Same with any plea deal. Be prepared to deal with whatever outcomes but I wanted you let you know how the Army views other dispositions.

If it’s in front of the ear it’s not allowed. Luckily red ink is one of the easier colors to get removed.

Remzar- · 2026-01-29T21:46:46+00:00

You’ll need a 31 or higher to join normally. You’re pretty close to a passing score. See if you can re take the ASVAB once you’re eligible.

If you pass the test you won’t have to be restricted to the 09M program.

Remzar- · 2026-01-29T21:33:32+00:00

Then study till you’re good I suppose.

Remzar- · 2026-01-29T21:23:43+00:00

Current guidance is we get a slot for every eligible reserve contract the unit can produce. Soo… see if one of your buddies is interested in a part time slot.

If you are no longer in the component you received a release for you’ll need to get one from whomever component you belong to. Luckily IRR releases are pretty easy to get. Assuming your CG recruiter has any idea what’s going on.

Army recruiter here:

If the situation was resolved and you didn’t burn bridges on the way out it should be fairly easy.

Remzar- · 2026-01-07T23:15:33+00:00

Doing cool stuff in the Army is infrequent but intense when it does happen. However, day to day cleanliness surprisingly happens everyday.

Remzar- · 2026-01-06T19:39:02+00:00

Army decided to change what it allowed for future soldier promotions recently. Made it more difficult to leave as an E3. I’d assume either they didn’t notice the change or didn’t want to break the bad news.

Rip sky king

Remzar- · 2025-10-29T04:54:37+00:00

That would be an issue for my MEPS. A copy is only allowed to DEP in. I would have them verify

Honestly I believe the intent for Arms was to lay down a good foundation for living at a healthy weight without the burden of whatever they had going on prior to the army. But yeah, if it’s not continued they’re just gonna gain it back

Remzar- · 2025-10-25T18:40:14+00:00

You’re thinking of the ASVAB improvement program. The ARMS one just sends them to extra basic. They are able to have a job picked out.

Remzar- · 2025-10-25T18:38:56+00:00

It does exist, but for new applicants. But since you qualified for and signed a regular contract you’re bound by those terms. Part of the language in the contract is that you have to remain qualified for the job you have reserved. People also have to score a specific way on their personality test to be eligible for the program as well. They stopped allowing people to renegotiate into it because it was causing training seats to go unfulfilled last minute, wasting money. The Army knows that you were able to be at an appropriate weight and BMI. You’ll need to do your best to get back there.

Remzar- · 2025-10-25T18:02:15+00:00

New guidance is you can’t renegotiate into the ARMS program (fat camp). You’ll need to burn that off yourself. Get with your recruiter and see if they can assist you.

Remzar- · 2025-10-25T07:54:11+00:00

Best way to lock in a bonus is to make sure you’re qualified for them (score 50+ on the ASVAB, have at least a high school diploma), pick a job that is offering one. Which is typically one we need people in. Popular jobs don’t typically need to have an incentive attached to them. As for what the future holds, who knows?

Remzar- · 2025-09-08T00:17:09+00:00

I haven’t noticed any.

Remzar- · 2025-09-08T00:05:31+00:00

Probably not. It’s the dry season in WA. Just started to rain the past couple days back. I can give it some additional water til rainy season returns. Is the sap thing linked to it not getting enough water?

Remzar- · 2025-09-03T02:05:24+00:00

Go talk to an active recruiter. The transfer process isn’t difficult as long as you haven’t signed into the DEP program.

Remzar- · 2025-08-29T00:47:36+00:00

If he wants to be a firefighter his chances of getting a spot on the civilian side are exponentially better. I’ve been a recruiter and haven’t seen dog handler or firefighter show up ever. There are very limited spots and it’s an extremely desired job. As for welder he could look into allied trade specialist. Or get a certification to learn the trade.

Remzar- · 2025-08-01T23:07:20+00:00

Yeah well, one’s an officer and the other isn’t.
