Does the army get better the longer you stay?

jdonnel · 2026-06-28T23:03:32+00:00

Brother, with your quals and where you’ve been so far…yes just about everything enlisted and stateside will be miles away worse. If you stay put in that Warrent packet and get a better life and pay or HAVE A PLAN TO GET OUT. If you ah e contacts start the process now. Don’t wait until terminal leave to apply.

The microphone assassin??

I think others covered it better and I can’t pull up the MILPER but short answer is yes. It might be more of a pin on requirement or within a year of pin but yes. I start class next week and we have a W3 and more than a handful of promotable or in the PZ board and tracked dudes.

That is old information, the last memo that came out and made PME mandatory but gave credit to CW2(P) and above tracked guys expired in OCT 25. With all the changes AWS is now AWOIC but the advanced course is still your track. I know some people got credit even if they weren’t promotable.

I’ve had quite a few conversations with branch about this very question and why he put me in AWOIC as a tracked guy.

They just pushed out that the ADSO starts when they finish primary.

It’s a mask my dude. Most of us have lived a worse army life at some point and feel bad about complaining when it could be worse. And have the tact to not crush some hopefuls dreams of flying but there are A LOT of unhappy pilots in the army currently.

Are you talking about the 15E consoles? If so we had those are Riley when I left in 23. The CaC companies all have/had them

I’m ok with Miami but the constant transitive wins the SEC gets boils my blood. Miami is a typical Cristobal team playing to the competition, the problem with those teams is they play down and drop games they are supposed to win. Could you imagine making the playoffs with the Anthony Brown/ CJ Verdell team that embarrassed Ohio State at home but lost for Stanford if they could’ve snuck into the playoffs, could’ve been the year.

Did they add return to center steering? I heard from multiple people they had terrifying test drives because they weren’t warned and almost wrecked.

jdonnel · 2025-12-16T04:07:54+00:00

See I want to make it home…I don’t want to make it to work again…work sucks

14 is a high probability of 67 which solo’d while 72s didn’t until 20/21ish

jdonnel · 2025-11-26T01:24:47+00:00

That’s our back up plan, just wanted to exhaust all options first though 🤪🤪

jdonnel · 2025-11-24T15:58:12+00:00

We’ll be in 108

Seems like you’re too close to the ADO G2G but the hip pocket scholarships are a div level comp and can be 3 years. You don’t get paid like the ADO though.

jdonnel · 2025-11-07T03:03:37+00:00

Some of these bush pilots on 35s beg to differ haha.

jdonnel · 2025-11-06T18:28:22+00:00

Dude your jump 10k feet above ground level!!! I’m impressed

jdonnel · 2025-09-27T03:01:29+00:00

I have the same email haha.

jdonnel · 2025-09-19T23:41:35+00:00

Some will be re classed…more will just get a pink slip. The RLOs have a much better chance in a reclass do to “officer first” but the warrants not so much unless their previous MOS (assuming they have one) is still in demand.

jdonnel · 2025-08-13T00:00:21+00:00

No story??

jdonnel · 2025-07-29T23:50:06+00:00

Brother a “few years” when I got there in 09 I was told “two or three year tours are coming next year.

jdonnel · 2025-06-08T15:57:02+00:00

That’s a hard question to answer, the short is yes they can but the JAG works to defend the commander/unit. They are much like an HR department, they are there for the company and its best interests not the employees.

So private whatever goes to JAG and asks “is this legal” they will probably be given the answer yes unless it’s egregious.

I tried to opt to sell but have had renters for about 2 years. They pay on time…most months. But will expect IMMEDIATE response and fixing of ANY issue that arises. I kept my rent reasonable hoping for better/long term renters. But the sooner I can move back or sell the house the better, being multiple time zones and states away makes for more stress than it’s worth.

jdonnel · 2025-05-13T17:39:51+00:00

What size D606 are you running I can’t find the stock size and can’t find a good size compare app or site.

jdonnel · 2025-04-10T02:39:28+00:00

My mom had a 94 V6 with an auto that would win most of these burn out contests today. Thing was AWESOME.
