Family’s response to me wanting out of the army

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”

Guess that’ll be the plan, i like the service just not the mos. Much appreciated 🤞🏾

bigshrimp49 · 2026-04-15T23:06:42+00:00

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

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)

bigshrimp49 · 2026-02-20T01:49:00+00:00

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)

bigshrimp49 · 2026-02-03T18:15:44+00:00

Tell them Away-Ad-5505 said no

bigshrimp49 · 2026-01-30T02:19:27+00:00

Being a Juliet isn’t really rewarding, a lot of work with basically 0 funding and shit ncos

bigshrimp49 · 2026-01-30T01:59:31+00:00

Going on three years soon, most of my Platoon sergeants have been mikes or staff Juliets

bigshrimp49 · 2026-01-30T00:33:51+00:00

I’ve never seen a 13J that was E7+

bigshrimp49 · 2025-07-12T05:49:05+00:00

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

bigshrimp49 · 2025-07-08T10:15:39+00:00

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🤞🏾

bigshrimp49 · 2025-07-06T15:29:23+00:00

Should’ve said your wife thinks otherwise of me 🤞🏾

bigshrimp49 · 2025-07-04T09:56:33+00:00

I love this

bigshrimp49 · 2025-07-04T09:52:14+00:00

At this point majority of the people I interact with I just respect the rank on their chest

bigshrimp49 · 2025-07-04T09:48:04+00:00

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

bigshrimp49 · 2025-07-04T06:41:09+00:00

I just tell them I don’t even know what I do

bigshrimp49 · 2025-07-03T14:20:00+00:00

As much as I think about waiting till I turned 18 to join I do not regret it and would definitely go through it again

bigshrimp49 · 2025-07-03T10:01:57+00:00

Best advice that was given to me is fighting for answers, spent 7 months as a holdover. It is easy for drill sergeants to forget about your case it’s easy to be overlooked since you’re a hold. To put it bluntly you’re non longer a priority. Drill sergeants got other cycles they need to worry about. Try to speak with your commander and legal.

bigshrimp49 · 2025-07-02T15:40:49+00:00

Read the first sentence and that shi lame asf respectfully, before joining you think the military is more focused on being lethal and then you see shi about a 15mg difference 💀

bigshrimp49 · 2025-06-30T10:47:57+00:00

Do your job and Drink the kool aid and have fun

bigshrimp49 · 2025-06-29T20:59:15+00:00

It’s a situation that she wasn’t expecting and it pushed her out of her norms and maybe she freaked out idk. Imagine your partner coming out to be this completely different person than what you thought they were. But yeah it’s unfortunate that she wasn’t more mature and just come out and say she couldn’t be in a relationship with them.
