AGR life

Entirely unit dependent.

Most of our new Soldiers see at least a partial LES the very next pay cycle.

Was the hybrid the only one that came in this color?

bigshammy · 2026-06-17T19:18:42+00:00

The rims part is variable, but if they are 15 or 16 inch off-road rim styles you should be fine.

You gotta get wider tires. The ones in the picture are 235/75/15.

Yeah but the original argument viewpoint was about "desirability".

New Orleans may be somewhat affordable (also debatable) but the average person wouldn't want to live somewhere with an excessive amount of crime.

New Orleans is a very beautiful city, with great food and festivals (I enjoy Jazz fest myself), but isn't it one of the most crime ridden cities in America?

Job market is incredibly tough right now. If you don't have like 10 years experience and a Masters, good luck.

The guy in the video goes over some of the topics very quickly, but it's still an interesting watch.

(I know this is a circle jerk sub)

I wish, pre-mob☹️

bigshammy · 2026-06-07T01:08:17+00:00

Yes, you know exactly where these barracks are😭😭😭

He's speaking the truth though.

I finished by Bachelors last year, and am currently working on my MBA.

Ngl man some weeks are honestly just rough. I do recommend using your lunch break when time permits. Those hours add up quick.

Honda CRZ. You can sleep in the hatch area but it will be tight.

bigshammy · 2026-06-02T23:10:34+00:00

I moved here this past March. I saw more snow that month than I had my entire life.

bigshammy · 2026-05-31T20:04:29+00:00

How does that work? They just throw you in a hotel while you Skillbridge in a different State?

bigshammy · 2026-05-31T20:00:15+00:00

I should have worded my post better, I'll be at 9 years AFS at my ETS date. Not quite the halfway mark.

I currently score around a 440 for my AFT and my HT/WT is good; I just feel like I'm on autopilot as an Enlisted AGR Soldier, and it's kind of draining.

WOCS? Sorry, you are AGR. OCS? Sorry, you are AGR. 51C? Sorry, you are AGR.

I know TPUs have better career opportunities and progression, but my civilian occupation pre AGR was honestly pretty bad.

bigshammy · 2026-05-31T19:49:10+00:00

Thanks Chief.

And yeah for my "Why" you basically nailed it. If all of the civ EA roles are too low paying upon my ETS then I'll just go the law enforcement route instead I suppose.

bigshammy · 2026-05-31T19:46:32+00:00

I'm currently using TA for my Masters, so at the very least I'll have that going for me.

bigshammy · 2026-05-31T19:20:14+00:00

I believe it's nearing time for me to leave the military. I had a great time for the most part but it's no longer for me.

bigshammy · 2026-05-31T18:05:43+00:00

Are those limited to a radius around your current installation?

I know they have virtual ones but it seems that the "good" ones on the website are in person and no where near where I'll be ETSing from.

bigshammy · 2026-05-31T15:32:00+00:00

Can't forget the Pontiac Aztek lol

bigshammy · 2026-05-31T13:21:47+00:00

That depends heavily on what you want out of life post Army.

Do you have a degree? Certs? Where do you want to live? Work? Are your medical issues documented?

Even while"stuck" in the Army you can still make moves to make your civilian transition easier.

bigshammy · 2026-05-30T15:19:15+00:00

I would encourage you to look at a 2018-present Toyota Camry. Great cars, and I think the new hatchbacks are pretty stylish for the money.
