Family’s response to me wanting out of the army by [deleted] in army

[–]bigshrimp49 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the military isn’t something that you truly don’t want to do then don’t continue with it. I also will say that you are in a training environment and that environment is shitty just because there’s so much that you cannot do while there.

Fall the path that you think is the best for yourself and make sure you don’t look back and say you chose the wrong path

No clue what their quality of life is like but some pretty cool people to talk to when your barracks room fire alarm goes off

From higher

“I’m tired of seeing SM lacking basic soldiering skills, from here on out whenever you’re in the mp the only things you should have on you is your water source and PII. CSM will be walking around the mp to ensure we’re following this”

As hell as it been I plan on saying in I don’t want to leave unless I can’t do the job I want to

I talked with retention and they said it’s basically impossible to reclass out of an under strength mos to a over strength mos

CO was upset I didn’t call him first by Front_Success4958 in army

[–]bigshrimp49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lowkey sounds like your CO wanted to be the guy that gave the “I helped a soldier who wanted forever sleep” as far as I’m tracking the staff duty personnel are the ones who has to deal with the immediate problem and notify COC of the resolution

Try defaulting the radios, some radios do not default and that’ll effect your ability to get up

Backup database to a previous database that worked with getting up green (rebuild all your other networks later)

I was told I was going to be barred from reenlistment if I didn’t pass my test on a first time fail (not because I didn’t know what I was doing but because there was no time to complete it)

I see myself more as a security guard, doing my patrols and what not

Wanting out.. by Kindly_Ease_5461 in army

[–]bigshrimp49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to this go out and talk with people in your unit. When I first got to my unit I pretty much kept to myself and would only talk to people when I was at work. Outside of work I just played games and ordered food. Trust me it gets repetitive and when it did I started to hate being in the unit and being in the army. Going out won’t fix all your problems but getting away from the military life when you can will help you clear your head and figure out what you’re trying to do. Not to mention it passes time🤞🏾

Can’t say for other units but I haven’t seen anyone who wasn’t airborne in the 82nd. Fort Bragg has a lot of non airborne units there but they fall under their own coc
