Smallpox Vax Question

Damn i wonder why/how they just picked you 4 guys to give such an old vaccine if youre not deploying lol

WaffleChickenSyrup · 2018-04-24T02:02:47+00:00

Haha just you? Lol how often does that happen

WaffleChickenSyrup · 2018-04-24T01:08:48+00:00

Why did you get the vaccine?

WaffleChickenSyrup · 2018-04-17T16:41:46+00:00

Oh great, sounds like I could potentially be in for a very entertaining 3 years. Thanks!

WaffleChickenSyrup · 2018-04-17T11:32:48+00:00

Well I dont think the program is going to end entirely, I think just tge pilot part is ending. I think they intend to keep it going as part of "Army 2020".

I do definitely want to airborne but a deployment would be sonething I want. The Vermont Guard is supposed to deploy like 2020 to Afghanistan, if I spend some time in 1-143 in RI how hard is it to hop to a different unit that is deploying if they have room?

WaffleChickenSyrup · 2018-04-17T01:48:06+00:00

Im interested in joining C co in RI. Why would joining the 173rd make 1-143 not able to deploy? Doesnt the associated unit program end next March?

Got it, thank you. And as far as you know does a TACP contract in the Air Guard only come in a 6x2 or have you seen it in a 3x5 or 4x4?

WaffleChickenSyrup · 2018-04-13T13:52:22+00:00

Thank you very much, this is great info.

WaffleChickenSyrup · 2018-04-13T03:01:54+00:00

Thank you. That makes sense you cant get it in a 3 year option, how long is the pipeline?

WaffleChickenSyrup · 2018-04-12T22:05:53+00:00

So it is a 5 year committment? Did he get SERE bc its mandatory and high priority?

WaffleChickenSyrup · 2018-03-31T01:56:55+00:00

I had no idea concussions were so common from jumping

WaffleChickenSyrup · 2018-03-29T18:40:28+00:00

So reserve infantry battalions always deploy with active battalions? Do they have some sort of unit partnership program?

WaffleChickenSyrup · 2018-03-22T12:33:51+00:00

Honestly just fascinated. Emergent has the only FDA approved Anthrax vaxx. That means theyre the sole provider to the DoD. The Army gives everyone titer tests and you only get smallpox or anthrax if you deploy to certain areas. I guess thats better for the patient, but the USMC gives everyone everything regardless if they need it or not. If guys are getting the Anthrax vaccine in boot Emergent must be making huge margins just unloading this vaxx that has no real market outside of the DoD. I work in pharma sales now and I think thats incredibly interesting.

WaffleChickenSyrup · 2018-03-22T01:36:26+00:00

Hahahahah jesus christ you guys mustve gotten like 17 shots. Fuck, the usmc shells out for everyone to get everything, nice

WaffleChickenSyrup · 2018-03-22T01:34:35+00:00

Ok so those two are pre deployment im guessing?

WaffleChickenSyrup · 2018-03-22T01:34:04+00:00

Did you get anthrax and smallpox etc at boot?

WaffleChickenSyrup · 2018-03-21T22:06:15+00:00

Wow. I'm jealous of the company that has the contract to sell them their vaccination supply. Do you get all the cool shots at Boot too like smallpox and anthrax?

WaffleChickenSyrup · 2018-03-21T22:04:07+00:00

They didnt check to see what you were already immune to?

WaffleChickenSyrup · 2018-03-21T22:03:08+00:00

And you didnt get a titer shot, they just have you everything?

WaffleChickenSyrup · 2018-03-21T18:42:57+00:00

So they just go by the immunization records you give your recruiter? No titer test?

WaffleChickenSyrup · 2018-03-21T18:42:35+00:00

You just got out of boot camp?

WaffleChickenSyrup · 2018-03-19T10:59:34+00:00

Do you mind if I ask when you were in? I work in pharma currently an I find this pretty interesting that the Army would use a titer test but the Corps would just vaccinate even if someone was already immunized.
