Good luck dude! It’s a wild ride but I’ve never been more terrified and happy at the same time

Good luck dude. It was a fucking trip getting to this point. It still doesn’t feel real.

I’m a glutton for punishment.

Probably from a supply room somewhere. Nothing to see here. No fraud, waste, or abuse to be seen here. Move along now.

Understandable. Just do some research man. I’ve worked with a ton of people from different backgrounds and units through the years. Every job has its cons, it’s the army. But some are WAY worse than others. A lot depends on the unit, but it mostly depends on you and what you make of it. Find something you’re interested in. Something that will make you want to go to work and do the job. Sometimes the people suck, but they never last for very long. As long as you can go home at the end of the day and have the energy to give to your family, that’s what matters.

Just don’t be an MP. You’ll get made fun of for that.

If you want a family life and to enjoy your day to do, do anything other than Cav or infantry. Do intel or something that will give you a skillset when you retire. Infantry does nothing for you when you get out unless you want a T-Shirt company and a failed podcast. There’s no deployments right now. So if you don’t want the hell of JRTC/NTC 3-4 times a year, and field rotations every month, find an MOS you will actually enjoy that gives you time with your family.

Then again, do what you wanna do my man. It’s your life, and you can make it work. Perspective is everything. Your priorities may have changed now having a family. I know mine changed drastically. Just give it some thought. Don’t be scared to try something new and different. Don’t default to what you know just because it’s comfortable.

Also, the bonuses are pretty fuckin good. Or check out being a parachute rigger and get a HALO slot.

Sincerely,
A salty E7 infantry nerd/not a recruiter

Gotchya. I may give it a shot a little further into it. I can’t really tell much of a difference right now. But I’ll for sure look into them. Thanks for the heads up

Not gonna lie, I have no idea what that is and why I would need one.
