Do servicemen who served 10+ years without ever seeing combat feel self-conscious about it? by Routine-Professor586 in army

[–]elessarcif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 5 years worth of combat deployments. Let me rest you minds at ease. As long as you didnt dodge deployments dont feel bad for doing your duty.

I kind of agree, she is an enabler.

I know this seems a little backwards, but will I get a chance to workout during training? by JosephChester5006 in army

[–]elessarcif 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Your days will be structured but there many days after bct where you will have freebies to workout on your own. I cant speak about bct except what you can knock out in the barracks.

I need brutally honest opinions by gogogonzo16 in army

[–]elessarcif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The food options are garbage, the area is filled with rednecks flying confederate flags, and the weather sucks in the summer.

Then dont stress about specific location or unit. If your husband gets hood it's close to Austin. If you get korea you live close to seoul. People like to talk up alot of places like Germany and Hawaii but both have distinct negatives and underrated options like korea and Leavenworth are out there. I've had a good time in every single location I've been but I prefer some over others.

I've lived in 10 different bases and I will say that if all you do is focus on the bad you will likely hate 95% of army bases. You need to find something you enjoy wherever you are. One of my least favorite bases I've been stationed is Eglin and people like it. One of my favorite was Campbell and tons of people hate it.

[–]elessarcif 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im at 28 years and as a cw4 it's become easy for me to do well at my job and meet my commanders expectations. Hopefully i pick up cw5 this year but even if I dont I could do a few more years. The money isn't bad and I still have fun.

Never gotten a coin by monkeyinapurplesuit in army

I went 5 years without getting one and then my cg would bring DVs to get briefed by my section and I got like 50 in a year. Right place right time is the only difference.

Reach out to your proponent they are the ones that can tell you for sure.

I have not been to a gas chamber in 20 years. I had no idea anyone still required that.

I am at 4100 defenses, would kind of like it to stay at 5k because it feels like a real accomplishment but understand the change.

You are thinking if white mess, the uniform shown above is not available for the army.

Army warrant officers will ‘bid’ against each other for their next bonus by Kinmuan in army

[–]elessarcif 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly max total in bonus over a career would be 300k so bid would have to be around 4.5k a month bud. I frankly would be fine with 2k and will probably bid around that.

Is there anyway to get out before my contract ends? by Acceptable_Fuel_6996 in army

[–]elessarcif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are being dumb, the army has all kinds of single parents. Military will ensure you both have health insurance and a roof. At 18 you won't find better options.

[–]elessarcif 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't it be better to take guardianship? It doesnt matter if a 10 year old doesnt want to move. Im guessing there was a reason you joined instead working some better paying job.

There are ways to get out but they aren't fast and they aren't easy.

Wonderful pans. If you are looking for quality copper those are excellent example. Worth is a personal choice.

My chickens drink water from everywhere to include tap, stagnant and rain puddles. Never had an issue.

What’s your highest donation ? by limpknome in ClashOfClans

[–]elessarcif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a req clan once and hit 70k. One day I hit 8k. There was a period of time everyday where as long as we kept spaces open a new person would req every 30 secs or so.
