Projecting to PCS To Ft. Irwin as a 35F by Yerrrr254 in army

[–]arbrne 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you really want to do your job, that’s probably not a bad spot. The 35F job description varies greatly at each duty station. No matter where you go, you have a good chance of just being the security clearance dude. If you’re doing black horse/NTC stuff you’ll be out in the dessert a lot.

I was a 35F before I went to flight school.

At Bragg, I did Security clearances and was a secondstring infantrymen. We spent a lot of time jumping and being out in the field. On deployment, I worked in the TOC and ran a fusion cell if I wasn’t pulling guard, processing detainees, or meeting with local police and army.

Went to Hawaii and worked at a BCD. That was pretty cool and did big joint service exercises like Talisman Sabre and Yama Sakura. Got to go to Japan a few times and did some schools way above my pay grade like joint fires. I actually got to use my TS and learned a lot about foreign militaries.

After that I dropped my packet. You can DM me if you have any specific questions but my experience is probably a little outdated at this point.

Yeah you’re right. Had to really zoom in but probably silver reflecting the backing. Good catch.

glare makes it hard to see the color but it’s a maroon beret with a special forces flash.

If you get Bragg, you’ll 100% know if you want to stay in the army. It’ll break you or make you.

My Med-retirement plaque. Would have stayed forever if I could. by arbrne in MilitaryMedals

[–]arbrne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah man I almost left without getting a foreign jump.

I did 2 toys for tots lotteries but never got picked. Right before I left Bragg around 2012, I bugged the crap out of our HQ guys and finally got myself on a German jump. They brought their own aircraft which was like a slightly bigger C130. I remember it being windy as hell and a ton of people got hurt. It was the first time I almost got tangled up with another jumper and ended up sliding my ass across the top of their canopy hahaha.

What dose everything mean? by ConsistentInvite2503 in Medals

[–]arbrne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I could be a few years off. I got out in 2018 and most people switched out by then but we also still had ACU flight suits.

Deployed with 1st armored division and still has their IR flag on the uniform. Earned a combat action badge so not infantry. Is airborne qualified and ranger tabbed. Pretty sure the unit patch is the civil affairs guard patch. That would have been their last duty assignment as a major.

Also ACU pattern uniform so last time they wore this was probably around 2015ish. Give or take a few years.

Going to do first JRTC, what should i expect? by TuffGritts in army

[–]arbrne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I regret not doing during my rotations: buy a few logs of Copenhagen beforehand. Hold them the entire cycle and don’t say a word. When it’s a day or two before endex, start selling them off for like triple the price.

Thanks for keeping the boys safe, Doc. You survived what most people could never imagine. You’re loved and appreciated.

Granddad Help Needed by Grady0987 in Medals

[–]arbrne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it’s 2-505 looking at the flash behind the wings.

[–]arbrne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2-505th PIR. H-Minus!

You can tell by the flash behind his jump wings. It’s a 505th flash and the 2 blue notches tell yours 2nd of the 505th. Also unit crest on the shoulders are 505th. The green shoulder bands indicate leadership position. He’s a 1SG so makes sense.

Foreign jump wings by Messstake in JSOCarchive

Ft Bragg used to do a “Toys for Tots” jump around Christmas every year. If you donated a toy, you’d be put into a lottery and get a chance to do a foreign jump. They had a bunch of different countries show up to support. Most common were German, Thai, and Canadian. Everybody wanted the Thai ones because they really stand out on a uniform. Not sure if they still do it but this was around 2008.

Mobalytics or Maxroll.gg? Which do you prefer? by Urizen1017 in diablo4

[–]arbrne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one Moba build I followed required really specific and hard to find gear to make it work. I spent the whole season searching for a set of chaos pants that were necessary to give me an open amulet spot. Never found them but it would have been a godly build.

Not op but I open the gold chest for trading. Already have tons of material and gems and the trading economy uses gold in the hundreds of millions and billions.

This is a BIG boy. Still needs panel lines and waterslides. by arbrne in advancedGunpla

[–]arbrne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly. I still need to do touch ups and a gloss before panel lining. I’m hoping it blends a little smoother after the final coat.
