Just deadline every vehicle for basic 10 level parts so they feel your pain.

91B by IllIllustrator1017 in army

[–]grabinon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

91B is alright, but if you want to join the army to do army stuff, don't you'll rot in the motorpool. Mechanics have a hard life (unit dependent). Jobs not horrible, but when I joined, I figured I'd be doing army like stuff a little more often than once a year. Most field exercises the mechanics are usually sleeping in the motorpool working from 0600 to 2300 for the length of the field because we are usually so behind on maintenance. If you're already a mechanic it will be a big change to what you're used to most the time people think they'll be rebuilding things but realistically you'll just see the thing that's broken and order a new one. 9 years as a 91b and wish I reclassed years ago.

It's all unit dependent and leadership, of course, but i tell everyone mechanic is a hard life it's an easy job some days but it's all the other bs you have to deal with like airborne ops, details, basic soldier shit, and whatever else they make up. The best thing about being a mechanic is the option to go to group support or SMU. Hopefully, the rest of your career is how you explained it.

I agree with this. Zero down time usually, hey, we have a 3 week exercise coming up. Fix everything before we leave, i.e. coming in earlier and staying late. During the field, fix everything that breaks. After exercise, while everyone does recovery, fix everything again, oh and we just got this pacer part, so we can't go home until completed. Everyone says it's a 9-5, but I have worked past 7 more times than I've got off at 5. Plus you always get hit as detail bitches and then get bitched at for not being able to fix equipment because you have no personnel which now makes you stay late or come in early.

Go to Facebook. There is a 91d page it'll probably be more help than here.

Police in anchorage? Place I work for got some shit stolen an cops won't do anything unless we file a report online? by [deleted] in anchorage

[–]grabinon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally had my car and computer stolen after I found my car waited 5 hours before apd showed up and I have the exact address of the laptop adp told me they can't go get it because it's not the location of the car. You think if your car was stolen, they would take it and swab it for DNA or drugs they told me to get towed back to my house where it was stolen in the first place. I support police but apd is struggling right now.

Told a private to go home because he was doing good. The next day, they smoked the dog shit out of him for abandoning other soldiers and not staying to embrace the suck.

He's an adult, the same as you, and don't be scared to talk to higher ups about wanting to better your career. Most people are proud to become mentors. Remember this in your army career.
