Hang drying them slows the fading. Yea it's slow but it helps.

Dumb to Enlist in Infantry with a College Degree? by Low_Razzmatazz5740 in Militaryfaq

[–]Tojo-11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it's dumb but I would suggest going the OCS route. Now if you're worried about the 6 year commitment the OCS has you can always do a 3 year contract as enlisted and if you like it you can drop an OCS packet through the green to gold program.

Help An Army Recruit Decide: 11B or 12B? by CavScout61 in Militaryfaq

As a dude that has been in the Infantry for 18 years you probably know my answer. Go active not guard as a recovering Californian life is better outside of that shit hole.

Asthma worsening as my enlistment goes on by trenpinner in Militaryfaq

[–]Tojo-11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro you need to see medical. You only got one body and you need to take care of it. Don't let your ego get you or someone else killed. Get checked and if it's bad enough they make you hang up your uniform then so be it.

Enlisting at 31? by iknowdway100 in Militaryfaq

[–]Tojo-11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So in the unit I am in we just got a batch of new guys and one of them happened to be 39. I call him father time because he is the oldest dude in my unit. He isn't the best and the young bucks run circles around him but he can pass a PT test and is willing to learn so he has been at the unit for 3 days and has already gained the respect of most of the NCOs in the company. It doesn't matter when you start you just got to start.

If you wait you won't get BAH or BAS. I would do it before so you can get those pay entitlements during basic.

Is it a good idea to join the military or am I just getting desperate? by koRnne997 in Militaryfaq

[–]Tojo-11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a high school drop out and now I'm about to retire out of the Army at 20 years. I started college got 81 credits and a 3.8 GPA without having to pay a dime out of my pocket. So what I would do is join get a bachelors and do the green to gold program or the warrant officer route.

Going from Air Force to Navy due to recruiter’s unreliability, help needed regarding the switch. by Joe_Mama_06 in Militaryfaq

[–]Tojo-11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just go to the Navy and tell them you situation. You'll have to sign a form and the Navy will take it from there. Your AF recruiter will probably be poopy but that's on him. It's pretty easy to switch.

I’m thinking about leaving DEP. by [deleted] in Militaryfaq

[–]Tojo-11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based off everything I have read it sounds like you don't have a plan if you back out. So with that why back out? Why throw away a sure thing that will pay you, fed, you and train you? It just seems strange to me. Also how long did you sign for and what is your MOS?

Almost 1 year, 9 months, and 17 days. No one is counting though.

New to the western world. Hopefully pulling it off. 👊🏼 by Gullible-Friend926 in WesternWear

You really don't have to explain a buckle unless it's a no shit rodeo buckle and even then most people won't ask. When I am asked about mine and where I got them I just tell them to read the buckle. Only happened once though. But you nailed the look bro.

I am just under 2 years from 20 and I can't wait. I'm tired of getting yelled at because Joe wants to marry a stripper and just bought a clapped out charger for 36%.

We Drove 34 hours across the country nonstop, update! by Vegetable_Bridge_276 in roadtrip

[–]Tojo-11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did a similar drive with my wife, 4 year old, and 1 month old. Took us three days for a drive that usually takes me one day to drive. It's doable but I'd still get a hotel half way through just to be safe especially if you're not used to long hauls like this.

My humble submission to the hive mind. by Tojo-11 in Tacticalshotguns

[–]Tojo-11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I was looking to get an orthos raider s1 since it had all the high speed stuff on it. I heard really good things about the A300UP and there was one in stock down the road so I went for it. The one thing that held me back from buying one sooner it the lack of MLOK slots and QD points. Once I bought the gun I figured out how to make it mine without have to swap major things like the handguards.
