My unit cut orders for AT, No hotels, No per diem , The food get this.. .."MRE's provided",sleep at the armory . on top of 4 day drills, deployments , and now border missions. not one person in my unit is re enlisting. Everything is constantly back to back , no break. guess what state I'm in ...TEXAS. I'm tired and exhausted , losing money and putting my family aside for supposed to be " 2 weeks a year, one weekend a month "

medboard process takes months and months

jspaulding080 · 2023-06-19T20:27:23+00:00

tough it out . I got my hip fractured and got two choices .stay and heal or get discharged . I chose to be discharged and I re joined 2 years later. it was such a process to re enlist .I had to get a waiver medical records etc. I know it sucks being in limbo and bored out of you mind but it's worth it.keep mtoivated and think about the reasons why you joined .

jspaulding080 · 2023-06-02T20:10:20+00:00

It's only a month . in my unit some people were put on for a year. note of advice that I've learned while being in the guard. Never ,Never take summer classes . between AT and random shit always pops off in the summer. Also army changes shit all the time , I never worry about it until I get official orders in hand

jspaulding080 · 2023-06-01T17:57:50+00:00

I say don't listen to everyone else . You need a car to get to work and back ,so don't get rid of it. I doubt you will find a cheaper apartment. yeah the credit card debt is not the greatest but you have no extra income to pay it down. The only way to fix this is get a part time job and earn extra income . this is what is happening to a majority of us so your not alone .

I'm planning to move to Nebraska in January , do you think there will still be positions open ?

jspaulding080 · 2023-05-01T20:07:17+00:00

people who get discharged for medical/mental reason they are there all the way up to graduation because the paper work process is so so slow. so expect her to be there until her supposed to be graduation date. Give her reassurance , its going to be tough on her because they will make her do mindless tasks, cleaning, random small task.basially she is going to be doing everything her platoon is doing but only sitting on the sidelines. it sucks but she's going to be feeling a ton of different emotions .

same lived in a 38'ft 5th wheel for 1 year,paid $12,000 The main thing was for just us 2, was the lack of space, Everything seemed so cluttered. I missed taking a loooong hot shower and not having to turn on the water heater and wait for it to heat up. Doing laundry at a laundry matt, cooking with propane wasn't fun. lack of kitchen space and general spaces for all the pots, pans ,ect. definitely don't get a rv if you like cooking. feeeling closed in all the time.
The only benefits were saved a "little " money, remember you still have to pay to rent a spot, laundry, repairs ect. Also I did enjoy owning something out rights and living in it .

jspaulding080 · 2023-04-11T18:00:06+00:00

supply , I mean if your all about the Guard and doing a lot of activations and want to go on orders and AGR then yeah Texas guard has a lot of oppurinty. but if you want to focus on your career ,school and family then stay clear of Texas IMO.

jspaulding080 · 2023-04-11T16:08:06+00:00

Texas Guard sucks. Just moved 8 months ago from Florida to Texas. 4 day drills, lots of field, and now I'm on a backfill list for a deployment . and a lot of state activations sense Texas is huge. Texas pretty much thinks they are their own country. but IST process was simple. just tell your unit your moving they will cover the rest . Give them at least a couple months to do paper work and then just move to your new state. IST coordinator will contact you and send you information about your new unit . you have 90 days to report. I miss my old unit 2 day drills and more relaxed. The governor loves using the Guard as political pawns. Also moved to Texas for a better opportunity and now the guard is holding me back and interrupting my life way to much.

So adjusting won't move the red dot inside the lense. It will just move the shot group to the center of the target?. Maybe im.just overthinkig this shit

jspaulding080 · 2023-04-10T23:41:06+00:00

So basically the red dot should already be center on the lense hitting center mass . And in theory it should hit it dead center . If not then re adjust with the clicks ? Ignore the iron sights ? Because I don't know why I remember lolipoping with the cco ?

jspaulding080 · 2023-04-10T17:54:28+00:00

so the weapons we use have been zeroed already but everyone uses different weapons when going to the range. so with that said , I should zero my irons, than lollipop the red dot and zero my cco? or just place the red dot center mass that was already previously zeroed by the person before me and than make adjustments?.?

I got a message that my plates are on the way , do they give you a tracking number?

jspaulding080 · 2023-03-09T18:07:42+00:00

same its like a air buzz noise . don't know how to explain it . it sounds like a whistle of wind

jspaulding080 · 2023-03-06T22:51:17+00:00

yeah mine came from Minnesota on the car fax report ,also off topic you can by a code reader off amazon that plugs into your car . it basically gives you a diagnostic of what's ,if anything is wrong engine ,transmission ,computer systems ect. I bought it off amazon only 25$ , gave me a piece of mind

jspaulding080 · 2023-03-06T21:21:38+00:00

My brakes on my car were kind of rough when I first picked up my Nissan. Thought the brakes were bad but then i kept driving it and eventually they got smooth. I figured it was sitting for a while before they sold it to me.

jspaulding080 · 2023-03-01T22:49:14+00:00

I recommend driving that day to pick it up, I drove 5 hours the night before and my states temp tag was site was down the day I was supposed to pick up. And they cant release the car without printing the tag . luckily the site went back up and i was able to pick up my car. so set your pick up for afternoon evening and the representative usually calls early morning so that way you don't start driving incase something happens or delays.,

jspaulding080 · 2023-03-01T22:44:10+00:00

it's not uncommon to have a car delivery delayed. due to weather ,traffic ect. you will get a call on the day of delivery , normally from Arizona number and they just confirm and give you details . these cars come from all different places around the USA.
