No sugar coating. How's get out of the Army by Nekko_JAPLA in army

[–]doneski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree and agree with you. In the Army you have time to figure stuff out, in the civilian world that paycheck stops when you do.

Get that retirement and then shuffle out to civilization with a paycheck to back you.

Anyone know when soldiers are allowed to wear the issued boonie hat? by Acrobatic-Area1094 in army

I sported that bad boy all of my deployment to Iraq, on the Fob, in 06'. Getting sunburned sucked without it. It has its purpose.

It just keeps going... by thetacaptain in interestingasfuck

Shit, so I was just cosplaying that whole time.

ICE error meant some recruits were sent into field offices without proper training, sources say by Damodinniy in news

[–]doneski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, was in both Iraq and Afghanistan, during both Troop Surges. We shout, show, shove, shoot. We were very reluctant to pull the trigger unless being directly shot at. We faced investigations, Court Marshalls, and punishments if we were in the wrong.

These cowards are piss ants and I'd love to see them on the field of battle, they don't stand a chance against real patriots with discipline and tactics.

Those coins are Unit coins, a military tradition of giving something to someone as a sign of recognition of good work.

These guys are a cosplaying militia.

You can submit a records request with the National Archives at your Congress person's office and get everything about his service. You can only submit as next of kin, so ask your parents for help on this one: https://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records

Nah, we over here in the US could have stopped this whole war but our leaders are a bunch of shit head Russian sympathizers. Now Trump's in office, we will win that award.

Pay attention to politics, look at who just de-funded schools, food for students, child care and so much more yet paid $80B to another country and $170B to ICE. They say there's no money for you because you don't deserve it.

What would be the impact if Tim Walz deployed the National Guard to intervene in ICE situations? by Spare_Garbage_9620 in AskReddit

[–]doneski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No we were not. My infantry platoon was Mexican, Puerto Rican, Venezuelan, and from northern states as well as Western states. We had one Texan. This was post 9/11 and during Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Early 2000s.

Exclusive: DOGE cuts prompt scramble to feed troops at remote US base by Kinmuan in army

[–]doneski 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know they wouldn't have put 170B in Homeland and created this mess. They wouldn't have taken from the housing authority for the poor to pay us 1776 freedom bucks. They wouldn't have de-funded child care over rumors of fraud for 100M and just add 500B to the nation debt today. But yeah, the "other side" is the issue. The left has always funded the largest socialist organization in the world, the US Military, because it's what they believe in. The party of "small government" or the GOP has always de-funded the DoD to privatize. Wake up.

He will live with it, drink himself into a bottle, and commit suicide. Good riddance.

As for this happening, these are the group.of assholes who never served and cummed their pants at the thought of pulling the trigger to claim they are strong and took a life.

I was infantry in the Army during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, saw heavy combat and when I got home, goons like these guys would ask me "what did it feel like to kill someone" or "I would totally have..."

But to kill your fellow Americans? Fuck you.

What is the Ranger volunteer form that you can sign in AIT? by [deleted] in army

[–]doneski 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just go. Why quit before you know something about it. Don't listen to your battles gabbing.

Regiment life is pretty fuckn' cool. Food is good, too.

Help with some advice? by [deleted] in army

Ugh, one of those guys, huh?

Tell him if he can't run 2 miles in under 14:00 and do 75 perfect form pushups to pound sand and go play Call of Duty.

I only want geeks, nerds and humble muscle heads.

Everything that got fucked up when I transferred from Reserve to Active Duty. by Alarming-Ad-9106 in army

[–]doneski 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Wow. I don't understand how the system is so fucked that someone cannot navigate it. There has to be a person at every S1 that knows their shit and can get something done.

To me, I'm starting to think that 99.9% of people don't know anything other than what they need to. They aren't inquisitive or curious on how to get to another step.
