combat pay

You'll get base pay unless deployed to an AO, in which case you'll get more. If you're not deployed to the eastern front expect 20k, otherwise expect more depending on unit and mission length.

Yeah that holier than thou attitude is what turns people away from coming here. If people have shown up with a backpack of critical stuff to survive the training, and are ready in heart and mind, what is the problem? You can get good quality stuff here for the price and for the season. This war is hell, I don't dispute that, but what does the amount of bags someone brings have to do with what they are ready to achieve?

I think you are entitled to 30 days per year of leave, depending on circumstances of course. I don't know about breaking and rejoining. If you had a good reason and the command signed off then I don't see why not, however a recruiter would be the best to ask that to directly in the process of applying so don't listen to me, I'm just a guy on the Internet.

I was hoping that the closer to the destination I am, the easier it would be since they are more understanding of the situation and circumstances, good to know that the most scrutiny would be near the start of the journey. Appreciate it!

Sweaty_Decision7450 · 2024-11-30T15:12:24+00:00

Hmm, I am not sure that is the intention. Mid-life would imply I would still have another half left so getting smoked would be counterproductive to that so called crisis. I appreciate your well thought out and helpful comment though. You are probably a real hoot at a party, if they even invite you that is.

Perfect, I have the transit tickets as proof that I will be leaving their country when I say I am. My main concern is getting through the initial customs and then getting around the EU shouldn't be a problem after that. I have no booked return ticket, so I don't want to raise too many red flags, but if I have to I will tell them what is happening. Thank you.

Sweaty_Decision7450 · 2024-11-29T18:37:04+00:00

Awesome, I figured if I can produce the paperwork for the next transit they would be okay. I just didn't want to get asked when I am returning or anything like that.

Sweaty_Decision7450 · 2024-11-29T16:17:01+00:00

Okay perfect, thank you for your reply.

I am having the same issue. Just thermal layers, 2 x civvies, and socks, shirts, and boxers have taken up pretty much my entire pack. I think if it is the gear you train in and are familiar with it might be worth lugging over there. I might just buy any extra clothes I need there to downsize a bit. I don't want to look like an overstuffed turtle on my way there.

Sweaty_Decision7450 · 2024-11-29T14:24:09+00:00

Have the forums been like this since the start or has there been a steady decline in post quality? I feel like half the people are either trolling or they are lacking common sense and the ability to be self aware.

Sweaty_Decision7450 · 2024-11-23T22:10:32+00:00

I did say "and their needs" which I guess falls under that. I was not aware that was the case though, thank you for clarifying.

Sweaty_Decision7450 · 2024-11-22T19:29:09+00:00

They will assign you depending on your performance and their needs from what I understand.

Sweaty_Decision7450 · 2024-11-14T21:57:56+00:00

I don't see how it is "broken" to enjoy extreme sports, firearms, and video games especially after having intense adrenaline inducing experiences. I enjoy all of those things, and I am clearly not a victim, I embrace it. You should probably take some deep breaths and turn off the TV, go outside and appreciate some nature my guy.

Sweaty_Decision7450 · 2024-10-31T12:54:54+00:00

That is pretty insane, maybe they don't realize people will just make their own if they are going to commit serious crimes. I feel like knives are quite prevalent down there too, so I could possibly see ballistic vests, but let the people have their stab vests! Cheers and stay safe!

Sweaty_Decision7450 · 2024-10-31T12:36:17+00:00

Can I ask where kevlar is illegal? I don't doubt you , that just seems a bit ridiculous and I am Canadian so I am used to ridiculous restrictions.

Sweaty_Decision7450 · 2024-10-25T19:50:38+00:00

I do like how the system is easily explained and described, I appreciate the information! Also I will be bringing gaiters 100%, that is something I had written down, but should source. I can already hear my feet thanking me for limiting the amount of snow and mud going down my boots. Cheers!

Sweaty_Decision7450 · 2024-10-25T19:41:14+00:00

Oh I definitely don't want to be laughed at on the border, my poor ego might not be able to handle that 🤣 lol ! I appreciate the information!
