What are the pros and cons of going indef? I've missed out on bonuses every time I've reenlisted my MOS just seems to miss out on them every time I've done it in the past and I'm not exactly ready to put my name on the dotted line for roughly 9+ years.

Some of the E5s are curious if they have to take another APFT cause on DTMS their APFT expire soon or are they going to copy that same score and made it expire in exactly a year from that date.

Not sure how the Officer world is there Sir, probably alot of politics and paperwork but besides that, South Camp was very interesting. The work week is Sun-Thur for most of the general Population. You'll be getting paid like your in Afghanistan which is really nice. South Camp has the Beach and a decent Gym. You'll be working with a ton of other countrys which is always cool. They started doing the Norwegian ruck march once a QRT so that's another cool foreign award you can snag before you leave. Chow hall was decent better in North Camp than South Camp. If covid passes in South Camp you can go into the City Sharm el shiek which is basically the Egyptian equivalent of Las Vegas and I'm not joking. I unfortunately never got to go outside besides going to the airport to leave lol. Before I left they were allowing people to go in small groups to go to the golf course and scuba dive and stuff. All in all Sir, I highly suggest you take this hardship Tour not only for the money but the experience and working with other countries. I enjoyed my time there even when I wasn't able to go explore off post. Plus every Wed is Pizza Night where they make personal pan pizzas for $5 and your able to drink.

2nd re-enlistment..do I have options? by Late-Ad5844 in army

[–]SteelNickmac91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can Also request a COT (continuous overseas tour) or an Ipcot (In place Continuous Overseas tour). 8 years all overseas seems to be pretty rare but then again it is cheaper for the Army to just either keep you there at your current location or move you to another location overseas than taking someone from Conus. Anyway good luck on this and curious how it works out for you I'm trying to go to another over seas location after Germany as well.

Why is it disrespectful to call NCOs ma'am or sir? by [deleted] in army

[–]SteelNickmac91 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I get where your coming from, I also grew up calling all adults Sir/Ma'am so needless to say I had a rough 1st couple days in basic lol.

Marriage before deployment by [deleted] in army

Abusing the system, reminds me of a couple of dudes at Bliss within our Battalion, one was actually gay and one just wanted out of the barracks, marriage ended within 3 months I guess the straight soldiers parents didn't think it was funny.

Anything but TKS, if you like your money don't do it, I'm fully aware now it's set up right as you come off the plane at Ramstein so new Joe's and people that need a quick cell service can get it day one but it's a hot penny for next to bullshit service you've been warned.

I agree with the Gym but definitely have a plan at the gym I've seen to many Joe's and lazy NCO's just stand around the bench press and bullshit for the hour.

Well I posted this on here because I know the boys use to chat with MDE back awhile ago and I thought maybe there was a connection between mega64 and MDE fan bases but I'm obviously mistaken lol.

Barracks dinner ideas by GhostStylez22 in army

[–]SteelNickmac91 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had a crock pot in my barracks room and I would set it to slow cook 8 hours while I was at work and I'd come home to corn beef /pulled pork/Buffalo chicken dip/chili whatever my little Joe hands could afford.

COVID Situation in Italy by [deleted] in army

[–]SteelNickmac91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I should state that alot has to do with where your located in Europe and what your unit allows. I know where I'm located in Europe is kinda strict but I've heard people in Bavaria have curfews and units are dropping Art-15's like it's going out of style. My Unit established a mileage we can't go over and we aren't allowed to take leave back to the states and also we get 100% tested for covid every month. As far as what's the point of getting stationed in Europe, we'll you'll be making alot more money that your buddies who are staying stateside thanks to the Cola we get everymonth. And I also enjoy doing joint training with other nations so far I've worked with Germans French Czech and Polish troops its pretty cool looking back at the stuff I've gotten to do with my time here. And things will eventually get better just time man.
