Is boot camp as hard as it's portrayed in the movies? If so, which movie portrays boot camp the best. Thinking about joining the Army.

lol
Drill sergeants xant even yell at you anymore lol
#BUT SARGE
No, I'm serious faggot.
Not even fucking close
>t. Army Infantry OSUT Summer 2017
so boot camp is Marines, basic combat training is what the Army calls it.
and no, at least for the Army, modern day BCT is an absolute joke. people still break for some fucking reason, but it's literally do as your told and do PT for 9 weeks.
They just try to break you mentally, the funniest part is the ones who flake out or refuse to submit are more men than the sheep drill instructors and other officials who want you to go die for Israel
Military and marriage are unironically for cuckold working class men and until you see through that you're a slave
>Hurr Durr my Dodge Charger tho
You sold your soul and rights to leave your station to be yelled at by other grown men for a car you only want to meet women because you're too ugly to get laid otherwise. You are a cuckold
Fun Fact: 71% of Americans can't pass the physical to get in the Army. The most common reason is obesity.
>I kill goatfuckers for Israel
>Literally shine boots as a career
>Huh lazy fat asses
Coming from a dude that quit after 3 days I'd guess
>t. fat ass
>Shines boots for a living
You still live with your parents, don't you?
So you basically just have to tolerate some drill instructor yelling at you for no good reason while you exercise for six weeks?
lot of military cucks itt. just accept your position as moshe's pitbull
You still driving that Dodge Charger in your profile pics?
There hasn't been a valid reason to join the American military since WWII
>obese cant join
>low iq cant join
>slightly out of shape cant join
>mildly disabled or sick cant join
jesus christ, then who can (and actually would)?
No, the hard shit begins at your active duty station. Hardest thing about OSUT is merely adapting to a new way of life.
OSUT was so fucking easy compared to what followed. On the line, they really step up the training before deployment. Experience on deployment can vary in regards to where you are going and in what year.

>some still break
There are people who believe Star Wars and GoT are real life. There are people that go into a frothing rage when Brie Larson or Trump make a comment.
People these days are so comfortable that only petty shit is left to cause them problems. Actually having to work and be bossed around is unthinkable to many people these days.
Men
personal reasons like self improvement or wanting a call
who hurt you?
13 weeks for the Marine Corps. Yes, all constant yelling.
Brain dead rednecks with enough brain cells to add but not enough to not go get blown apart by some ied while Jamal buries his BBC in their wife and daughter
>Talks mad shit
>Can't take it back
I see why you submit to officer faggot
Can I join?
People who will actually be productive members of society OR niggers who just want government gibs.
If you want to self improve, just go to a gym and start eating better
No need to die for some foreign country that hates you
Coastie here. My branch is better than yours.
I’m finishing up law school and am joining the JAG program for the Corps.
God Bless America
Love you bro, you don't have to be a bootlicker your whole life
Pretty much. And as far as my experience, they kinda let off the gas in the final three weeks. The shittiest part of BCT was the ruck marches. We took a wrong turn and ended up rucking 14 miles through bumfuck South Carolina. God bless that commander.
I'm commissioning on Friday and will have a starting pay of something like $80,000 with BAH since I have prior service time. The Army is an amazing opportunity for most people, especially if you have the chance to become an officer.
You can get a top secret clearance and job training which can give you 6 figure civilian work at companies like Boeing and Lockheed after you get out. You also get to meet a lot of pretty cool people and work out a lot.
Sometimes only something bigger than yourself can give you the strength to get up your ass.
And i dont think the average person is aware of israel shit
Based officer bro.
>tfw you go from fort hood to an air force base once and realize you made a grave mistake
I'm sure ya'll faggots live in paradise too
Obviously he was diddled by big bad drill instructor
>Sometimes you're too weak to force yourself to improve and need someone to make you do it.
Fair enough.
this poster isn't wrong but I'd recommend a short 4 year contract in something that will get you that TS/SCI and then just ETS. I did it, best decision of my life.
If i had to join i'd go to air force or navy to go to exotic locations and fuck asian pussy.
yeah boi!!!!

After I was wounded, they give you part-time jobs between treatment. Got sent to the Sergeant Major's Academy. My job was war games against would be CSMs and G-Staff across the world. My job was literally playing video games, and pissing off people who were much higher in rank than me. After I was Medically Retired, Raytheon offered me a six-figure job at the age of 20, to keep doing the same shit on their civilian staff. I turned it down because I wanted to get as far away from El Paso as I could. A decade later, I kind of regret that knee-jerk decision or even not reclassing to a non-combat MOS.
kill yourself degenerated kike
you saying it extra harsh doesn't make it wrong
Be a man and join today if you have the balls...
you don't have to have balls to be a man, new army :^)
this right here is why america is falling
I love every day, but it can suck too depending on what size cutter you are. I actually wanted Kodiak or Polar Star but they let me pick between a handful of small boat stations in Florida and California because I know Spanish. I think only about 5% of the CG is Hispanic so it's a very valuable skill to have. We don't have the luxuries of the Air Force but the job satisfaction and how we all treat each other is the best feeling in the world. Also many boat stations don't have barracks so everyone there gets BAH. Becoming a BM is the best thing that's ever happened to me.
No. You can look up physical requirements and times for all special forces. They're pretty much a joke except for maybe the ones with swimming requirements, I've never actually done any competitive swimming so i wouldn't know.
I don't wanna add to the negative replies since this is based and 100% redpilled, but my brother joined the AF for 4 years, got a shitton of money for a high school D Student, free lodging, and is now going to college for free.
Really thinking about doing the same. At worst I hate it for four years and become a civilian eith a better outlook on life since "at least it isn't the military."
>tripfag acts like a fag
I'm sick of these reruns.
What law school? I'm thinking of switching to law school then jag too. Does JAG accept BAR from any state?
still lol
You only need to serve for 3 years on active duty to get public schooling 100% paid for, and if a private school participates in the yellow ribbon program, then that school is also paid for assuming the amount they contribute covers everything.
It really is the best deal tbqh. Don't be infantry or any kind of combat job, learn a marketable skill, three years later you walk out with school paid for, a DoD security clearance, and aren't as big of a NEET as you were when you joined.
You can't swim?
G.I. Bill covered my bachelors, and now about to finish my masters degree. Also if you do Public Service Loan Forgiveness on a 25 year payment plan, they wipe the remaining 15 years after ten years of public service while making income-dependent payments. I recommend it.
THE WAY I SEE IT, YOU OWE ME ONE JELLY DONUT
>lick boots for the good of America
Literally make me, funny the way that you can't and your strength fails you in a civilized nation
>marriage are for cucks
Can’t speak for the others but Navy boot camp was only hard for me for about the first week because I was a piece of shit with no discipline so waking up and getting yelled at and being treated like shit was hard for me. I was in shape so the PT was an absolute joke but others found it really difficult. There were still plenty of shitheads that couldn’t hack it and got sent back or booted though. This was 2006 so it’s probably even easier now.
I'd like to see you try to keep up with Rangers, Navy Divers or any SOF group.
damn bro how much debt do you have to care about PSLF?
How do you become a officer?
I just don't see four years of being treated like a dog worth a nice career when that can be obtained without, I dunno, bending over for Uncle Sam daily.
We pay a 40% tax rate and don't get medical help and our vets have awful facilities, why agree to die for the perpetrators of that?
Also, there were no suicide bombings in Iraq before the us invasion, same with Vietnam, there wasn't even an enemy, we just occupied and destroyed their country and made the take a loan from the world bank
>Inb4 hurr Durr murica
Everything I've posted is verifiably true
You missed the a

>What are super high middle aged make suicide stats
>What is declining economy
Or just turn off your brain and be a cuckold wagie
Right now i couldnt. but from when i was age 18-27 I would have considered it a break from working out. Except for probably the swimming stuff because i've only ever swam recreationally. You can look at all the requirements etc. online they're really not anything special.
Joining the Army is good if you have no other options, or you want to gain the skill sets needed for the coming civil war. Just realize that the Army is a traditional organization that has been subverted by democracy and equalitarianism. You will find the shadow of Western martial tradition, but mostly what you will find are sub par minorities cowardly POGs and welfare queens.
Hit and quit it, use what is left of it's western martial tradition to assend yourself physically and spiritually. I served in Iraq in 2009. I don't regret being a soldier, but I regret what I served.
This country needs a military take over that ends all voting and politicians in this faggot loving democracy. The military needs to cut out the middle man.
>all the butthurt replies to this
where is he wrong, though? do you think this nation's military is used for any other reason than feeding the Military Industrial Complex and protecting our worthless allies? this country's government is so irredeemably corrupt, you could never persuade me to risk my life for it.
paranoia, egoism and the modern idea of individualism is and will steadily be the reason for americas and all americanised countries downfall.
This is fact. Authority became a boogeyman instead of a representative, the greater good became meaningless and being connected with the population and its culture/pride is seen as morally wrong.
The west will decline because of people like you, not necessarily because you're wrong (which you can't prove anyway) but because of the general idea.
The mere thought of dying for something greater or following a leader scares the average millenial and zoomer shitless, thanks america for breeding this ironically more easily controlable individualistic paranoia generation
holy based
Those are basic entrance requirements, and the minimum rarely gets you accepted into those programs, I can assure you if you actually PT’d at buds or pre buds you’d be shocked at how difficult it is if you were unprepared.
This is why I got out. It became the nigger and beaner welfare program. Standards fell and everyone suddenly got a vote/opinion.
If you want to go, go as an officer.
And to be an officer, you need a 4 year degree.
Just assume any plan that says "you will do x", "then we will give you y" is a bullshit lie.
You come in as an enlisted cook, get ready to boil some powdered eggs.
Looking at a piece of paper is not the same as actually doing it. Those requirements are the baseline, but in order to get it, you have to score near the top. Those are all very competitive spots and the only way to be sure is to max out every score which isn't easy at all. That's why 1st phase of BUD/S is known as the grinder. Most people drop even though they are passed the physical test to qualify. Be assured, they won't let you try if you barely pass the requirements.
We give Israel billions yearly, save your sanctimonious indictment old man, they don't need me. You want me to die for men who spit on the working class like me and have irl this isn't some paranoia, they don't care if I live or die so I'm not going to some fucking desert to eat sand and get shot by literal non combatants because you gave me a little lecture, this is why boot camp works, weak men can be trained like animals to die for a phony cause
sure kid.
will any 4 year degree do or they have other standards as well?
even Kubrick talked about how things weren't nearly as bad by 87 as they had been in the 60s.
>Thinking about joining the Army.
just start running and working out now and you'll be one of the shining stars.
>Joining the army so you can get your arms blown of by an IED in an attempt to look macho
wow really sounds like a hoot.
Also makes me laugh that armyfags think they're tough as shit because they go for a 5k run once per day and do 10 pull ups.
Marines and special forces i can respect because they actually have to have very above average fitness and at least slightly above average intelligence to make it in training, especially to do the more hardcore stuff like the escape evasion test (where ironically they get army bootlickers to hunt you down like a dog and take you down by any means nessicary) but armyfags are just fucking boots with rifles. They get ptsd so much because they get themselves in to comprimised sitations because they're untrained and unprepared and crack.
ROTC, senior military academies, OCS, West Point, direct commission (for people who hold advanced degrees), or Green to Gold (ROTC)
you extol the virtues of serving one's society, which I agree with - but do you think our modern Western societies are worth fighting or dying for? if you join the American military, you are not fighting for the nation, the people, your rights, or anything else like that. you are fighting to stuff some politician or private interest's pockets. I would fight for a dignified society, this isn't one.
The university I'm at for my program (librarian/archivist) is the most expensive in the United States, and it is the 2nd worse paying masters degree in the U.S. Even with a $37,000 scholarship, I'm looking at around $100K. Doesn't help that my program treats anything less than a B as an F. Fortunately only had one class so far that I had to retake, trying to avoid a second at the moment.
Good thing is our folks get recruited normally before graduation, and I also have a ten-point hiring preference in federal government as a wounded vet.
Doing an internship at the Air Force Academy, and have been told that a position maybe opening around the time I graduate. Hoping I can endear myself to them, and land the position.
Pic related is from where I work at the USAFA.
lol you know nothing about the military apart from what you've read on the internet
> You can look at all the requirements etc. online they're really not anything special.
It's not just about being able to do it once in things like BUDS, it's about being able to do it constantly, for 15+ hours a day with a few hours of sleep over weeks in terrible weather and cold water and shit. You'd wash the FUCK out.
that's actually pretty dope, but do you mind if I ask why you chose that career path?
It really is the opposite. The US was better when it was over 90% white. Now the US is a cuckold nation that defends the greater ideas of Sodomy, gay marriage, women's right to on demand abortion and sufferage, democracy, Israel and the protection of socialist faggot loving Europe, from faggot hating Russia.
Honestly, the Taliban won Afghanistan because what the fight for God, there people, and traditional way of life.
You genuinely have no idea what you're talking about. Like, I'm not even mad. Just shocked at your lack of knowledge.

Maybe if they also required me to cut weight, in addition to the other reqs, i'd take it more seriously. but they dont so I'd say it would all be fairly easy.

I guarantee you he watched those hour long documentaries on RASP/SEALs/SWCC selection etc. and thought he knew everything about it.

Why argue with a bootlicker who's only heritage and loyalty are either for sale or McDonald's
>phony cause
tbf the only reason why america is great because of the jews. We literally fought a war for them to get us to the top.
Besides that I'm sure you'll probably never realize how brainwashed you are by this divide game. At least "collectivists" do revolutions to dethrone a government they disagree with but i guess youre also above that. What I meant was the general mindset however.
The roman civilization didnt get so far because all their citizens said "meh I'm not gonna fight/build/work because big man dont care about me"
but in a way thats also the fault of the government if their endgame is really just anti american. A truer leadership would be nice that cares about its folks. or maybe the govs plan is way more layered and actually good for the country
ah the accusor trying to pass on the burden of proof i see

>faggot hating russia
Right but he was worth the effort of 2 bait replies
You're a waste of space, man
Nope. But i guarantee you guys watch every SOF documentary around and jerk off while licking boots you feel to inadiquate to even wear. I just wondered what physical reqs were in SOF and looked them up and was surprised at how easy it was.
It really is. I did my undergrad in history, and I refuse to teach punk kids that are only attending to be a body in class, and not apply their minds.
I love history, my focus is in archival science. At the USAFA, I'm now processing a collection roughly (10-15K documents) on Aerial Photography and Photo Interpretation during WWI. It is nothing but primary source documents, diaries, correspondents, government files and photography. I'm a nerd, and love every bit of it.
There is a song lyric by Jason Mraz, "fortune is loving what you do", and I do.
Also after Iraq, I just want a quiet and peaceful occupation.
Think I might try another masters in history in a couple years.

It says "A college graduate with at least a four-year degree"
The mean no fake paper mill diplomas, but it can be gender studies or some other bullshit as long as it is a real school. Most of the officers, even in intel, had absolute joke degrees like sociology, philosophy, psychology, history, and my fav, kinesology (PE Teacher Degree)
lol that feel when I'm an infantry officer with a history degree
that's awesome bro, mad respect to you. hope everything works out for you in the end dude. glad you didn't end up another statistic.
There is no “nation” anymore. Corporations rule the world, and they dont give a shit about you beyond your wallet. America is nothing more than a conglomeration of the worlds greediest aristocrats fueling a military industrial complex that clueless idiots walk straight into out of highschool.
There is no “pride” or camaraderie in war anymore. You literally just become a profit margin for the elite.
>Drill sergeants xant even yell at you anymore

My bad man, if you actualy enjoy history and have some knowledge about it that's cool, but you have to admit you can get a bullshit history degree at a low quality school in the US and know absolutely nothing.

>joined the army in 2017

>thinks the daycare of a BCT the experienced means shit
>thinks the army today is tough
I feel sorry for people like you. I bet you have your blue cord hanging from your rear-view mirror as well.
whats wrong with that?
Soldiers don't deserve instant respect just for serving the military.
You can at least respect the achievement of going through the grueling traning and high level of skill required to get in to the marines / special forces. As well as the dangerous and critical operations they go on.
Armyfags are just cannon fodder. They would never trust armyfags to say, clear out a building of hostages because they know they would fuck it up and end up killing everybody.
well wouldn't it be nice to change that? And bring on an actual belief driven society as a replacement
Why join arm or marines when you could be doing cool shit instead?
you get your phone back on Sundays, and by the end of basic it's back in your wall locker to use when ever you have free time.
I went and did the army for 4 years, got out and got on with my life. Used my GI bill to go to college for free, got my undergrad without paying a cent and got paid to live so I didn't have to work the entire time. Now I'm about to go to grad school on scholarship because I got such good grades because I didn't have to worry about working or tuition.
The military is a means to an end, you're retarded if you make a career out of it.
Doesn't really matter in the end my dude. When we "deployed" to Kuwait, the LT who got a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford was still digging ditches next to the other LT with a BS in communications from some online school (we think it was online anyway).
At the end of the day, we're all just educated ditch diggers.
Same to you mate, take care of yourself.
The US is in peace talks with the Taliban. Sorry, but I have nothing but respect for people suicide bombing a occuping forces. I was deployed. You know how many kids my unit ran over because of SOP. As a father, I would do the same shit, kill the faggot loving invaders who hate my God and have no regards for my tradition or way of life. Don't pretend that our goals don't involve secularizing their society so women can vote and queers can get married. We want them to be American. Superficial culture and tradition, with nihilistic, hedonistic Secularism. Where all you care about is consuming.
Ironically, what we want for the world is also the reason we lack the will to be victorious.
Pretty much everyone that goes Special Forces spends time in the conventional Army or Ranger Regiment. Most if not all officers that go SF are ranger tabbed. SF are head and shoulders above line Marine Units and are more comparable to the Marine Raiders.
The Army is a much larger organization with a more diverse mission set than the Marine Corps. The Army has units specializing in Airborne, Air Assault, Jungle, Mountain, and other types of warfare, whereas Marine divisions are typically more generalized. Some Army units are better than others, but it's a much larger organization than the Marine Corps; the 82nd, 101st, 10th Mountain, and 25th ID are cumulatively as large as the Marine Corps and comparable in terms of training and experience as line units.
I'm used to smoke joint tips that I pick up in the street, when there's no green left
how do you do fellow veterans?
>The US is in peace talks with the Taliban
Not true. What unit did you deploy with and where. What is your MOS?
Why do retards like you put the marines on some pedestal? They're literally just the Army but had a few weeks more basic training to learn to swim. The marines do nothing that the army doesn't. There is no reason the marines even still exist besides >muh tradition, otherwise they'd have simply been disbanded and the Army would increase its size by about 3 divisions.
People worshipping marines as if they're some special operations force proves that that person doesn't know what they're talking about and anything they say can be disregarded.
>GRAD SCHOOL ON SCHOLARSHIP
No such thing. Grad school is always fully paid when it is in a useful field like in STEM.
MOS? Unit? Rank when you got out?
38B -> 11A here
>How many kids my unit ran over
None? Because you were never in.
Agree, my best officer was an old school, enlisted fuel-er who went to night school (in the 90s before everything was online and went OCS), became an intel officer, was my lt.
I would easily say he was my mentor. He would always grab me and bring that sage advice like "this is enlisted business, don't talk about it in front of the soldiers" or "stay out of enlisted business, if you don't have something better to do, go home"
I hope you're only pretending to be retarded. I really do. If you don't know what you're talking about then just don't post.
Go back in the army if you aren't going to use your brain for critical thinking.
If you go infantry/combat arms it's going to suck more

No one gives a shit about basic training stories. The worst thing was being in for a couple years and getting new privates to the unit that kept sharing basic training stories and "my drill sergeant was meaner than yours" stories. No one that's been in the military longer than 6 months gives a shit.

What about suicide bombers targeting innocent civilians? In my experience we were tertiary targets, with LN civilians being the primary (LN forces secondary). Seen over 300 civilians dead from bombings by AQI (150+ in one event), wounded was around 4x that.
It is true, Taliban have a political office in Qatar, and US diplomats have been in regular talks with them. Taliban refuse to meet with the Afghan government since they refuse to formally acknowledge them.

I'm just curious. If someone was a SPC when they got out it shows they are intelligent and realized they could do better outside.

Not anymore since womyns and mexican manlets cant hang.
I don't mean to shill for the Army some more but I still talk to the people I went to AIT with, and that was like 7 years ago. You make some life long friends in the military.
all your psychotic religious zealotry is the opposite of what America was founded on. We didn't turn in Godfaggots until the 1950s and we've been in the process of fucking everything up since then. You being the exact same thing as radical muslim, but for Jesus, is YOUR degeneracy.

Same as you m8. You're clearly not a producer or creator of shit. You clearly spend a lot of time consuming circlejerk propaganda that's turned you into a talibanfaggot.
>Ironically, what we want for the world is also the reason we lack the will to be victorious.
nah you're just insane. Assuming you actually were deployed, you cracked. You're a traitor now. But I still think you're probably some gook LARP.
Your bench doesn't mean shit. Cardio is 90% of the game.

>Thinking about joining the Army.
Don't. Obama destroyed it. Bitches, faggots....SJW's. It's cancer.
>is basic hard
Basic training is geared towards out of shape pussies, so unless you're an out of shape pussy, it's a joke. That's why they call it basic. Females do that shit, user, and they suck.
Because by the time you get out you're too old with no education or skills. No one in the real world gives a fuck what you did in the military and won't hire you.
If you do 20 years you get retirement, but 50% of literal minimum wage is still shit. Senior enlisted still makes shit pay. Imagine wasting your youth and body to make 40k a year, only to get out at 40 or so with no degree, no transferable skills and nothing to show except bad knees and chronic lower back pain.
Because the military is ran by morons who can't hack it on the outside so the longer you're in the worse it gets.
It does nothing, we invaded lands that refuse the us dollar, Iraq, syria, iran, north korea, they all reject the us dollar and global banking cartel
We go in, blow up their homes and then make them take loans of our money and install our banking system so they can never pay us back what they now are bullied into owing. Like a bully giving a kid his lunch money with the promise to come back and kill his family if he doesn't play nice and pay it back for decades
if you dont believe this youre naive

It aint so bad just keep your head down, do what you’re told with the bare minimum amount of enthusiasm is expected of you and avoid standing out. Don’t be too happy/enthusiastic to be there thinking you’ll get good boy points with the DIs either. Just try your best to come and go unnoticed
Funny story, I went recruit training during the holidays like a dumbass, and when Christmas came along we were all told we would be allowed to call our parents. Everyone was excited as fuck because everyone starts to miss family once you’re in. So we get assembled and eagerly await our phone calls, and the DIs come out, hype us up over getting to call our parents, and than they made us run 5 miles while yelling “MAMA! PAPA!”. Suffice to say we didn’t actually get any phone calls.
And? What do you think Rome did? Would you rather be Roman or eaten alive by a Khan?
Literally join Facebook and tell me how many enlisted are driving Dodge chargers. That's how they get underage guys to enlist, yeah bud get that charger, women love a man in uniform
No one pissed me off, just had more than one recruiter try to use this on me but I've never been a kissless virgin and laughed, others sign that day

There's a saying in the military: "the smart ones get out, the dumb ones stay in"
>fav, kinesology (PE Teacher Degree)
That seems oddly appropriate for a military officer.
>which can give you 6 figure civilian work at companies like Boeing and Lockheed after you get out.
No such thing as the Military Industrial Complex, though. No such thing as corruption.
I'd rather be an outlier and depend on myself instead of nationalism and barbarism, towel heads didn't do shit to me except 9/11 and ole bush let that happen
>Be NATO
>90% success rate
>Drop planes in 10 mins flat
>98% failure rate on day that actually mattered
Just got out of OCS, it's a lot like that, especially with the cursing and constant punishment. Actual belittling is usually just reserved for calling you out as weak or not stronk enough to hack it. Group punishments depend on your class team but doing pushup / burpees in goose shit in the middle of the rain is normal.
It's not hard and Full Metal Jacket's interpretation wouldn't be hard to succeed in either. Even when they got physical with you back in the day it was just the same as making you do pushups. They just found that RPT made more rational sense than gut-punching someone.
It's just that Pyle was a complete fuckup who was a draftee and it was the job of the DIs to somehow turn that into a functioning individual. Pyle just completely chimps out and takes what is honestly just some hazing and went murder-suicide with it.
>Thinking about joining the Army.
Don't go infantry and take advantage of those benefits when you get out. It's one of the better career decisions you can make if you haven't figured out what you want to do in life.
Especially military marriage bro

I'm prior enlisted and finishing my degree and considering OCS but I just don't know anymore. I'm using my GI Bill and will be 30 when I'm done.
I'm just not sure if I want to be that super fit guy trying to keep up with the younger guys when I'm 30. Most officers in their 30's are Majors, whereas I'll be starting as a 2LT
has anyone actually been to israel? I went for a month long FTX and man, their women can control us any day. fucking dimes everywhere.

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of Yea Forums are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!
Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!
Iraq and Afganistan haven't made life better for Israel though. It created an entire industry of terrorism. Meanwhile those wars have made American corporations trillions.
Bro, literally any man that can't into carpentry deserves natural selection. The fact that you find that insurmountable is fucking hilarious, what are you gonna do when all the trucks stop coming into your city with donuts? You'll fucking die alone and afraid, fucking learn to take care of yourself, I own property and helped plan and build my own home and never had to lick anyone's boots to do it
My estranged dad was in Vietnam and is now insane and lives paycheck to paycheck with my help

Well I'm like 27 going on 28. I chose aviation because I just got tired with my previous career and I wanted something else. When I was at OCS there was a guy in his thirties from the fleet who was wanting to carry on his family's SWO legacy. He wasn't a king at running but he could crank out pushups and situps just fine and people respected him.
Age isn't going to stop you from being a good officer so much as being an unlikable asshole will.
Just have a look at your options and apply for OCS if it looks good. SWO and Nuke life is what I hear horror stories about. Mostly SWO because of the horrifying workload in your first few months before you're qual'ed.
Being prior enlisted will help you get in easier than being actual enlisted.

Been hearing nothing but good about it so I'm looking forward to checking it out in June.
I had boomer parents that sent me off to military school at age 10 and left me there till I was 18, while they were off touring the world and drinking themselves retarded I was running laps, doing drills and being screamed at for no reason whatsoever. I was already a loner and a "weirdo" by then, so I was able to find solace in books and I worked out a lot, I would compare it to a jail sentence

God, the army was so fucking stupid. It takes everything from you and only gives you the GI Bill in return.
Those guys got off easy
My DI's would have had everyone take off their locks and throw them in the back of the house. Then have us pick up our foot lockers, go to the back of the house and dump out all of our shit. And that is after the hour or two of fuck fuck games and getting IT'd.
For me boot camp was hard because i was sick the whole time with pneumonia.
would my hypoglycemia and migraines save me from a draft
lol
Or maybe you shouldn't have sold 4 years of your life for a meme mobile
ur retarded m8. you should have known what you wanted out of it before you joined.
DO NOT BE A MILITARY LOSER
you will:
>work endless hours
>receive minimum wage aka mcdonalds wages that will only seem like a lot of money because you literally put in 12+ hour shifts in every day
>get PTSD from bootcamp and on deployment
>get any number of mental illnesses that result in you becoming a substance abusing suicidal maniac when you reintegrate into society from your tenure as a modern day indentured slave
only an uneducated literal retard would subject themselves to that
honestly it was so shitty lol
constantly doing field shit in the box
met some cool dudes im still in contact with and the GI bill is CASH so theres that
You do know those are just entry requirements to even be looked at? Even just BUDS has a pre-selection program before you go into it. Then actual BUDS is literal three weeks of hell with pre-dawn PT that would make your PT look like a casual warm-up session. Then you actually start training where you get regularly fucked up for more than ten hours a day. Hell week alone gives you on average four hours of sleep that entire week while you're constantly getting pushed, surf-tortured, and harassed.
BUDS has a washout rate of over 70%, and any one of those washouts is still a very physically fit individual.
>fighting wars for "the jews" BAD
>fighting wars to give money to the war industry GOOD
Yes. The tough part is ignoring the yelling. That's the secret to the whole thing.
>faulty loans from Jewish bankers caused the collapse
>this guy wants to blame it on war where we took their resources and drug money
Do you even know where trillions of the military budget goes? No one does. It isn't for world Peace but keep fucking away

>Now a field technician for an unspecified defense aerospace company
>Be a shoe in for a field engineer position when only halfway to my bachelors
I never understood the “thank you for your service” types but the absolute disdain for the military in this thread is just cringey.
>was surprised at how easy it was.
Yea it's just a baseline though. Every SOF group's training would break anyone who shows up with just those numbers. You're easily doing more than a thousand pushups a week with tens of miles of running added onto that.
Oh no whatever will I do when the gubmint collapses
Me and my thirty guns will be so lonely however will I get food when Walmart shuts down :(((((((((
You're a fucking retard if you think one in a hundred knows what a mitre saw even is.
I’d youre going AF, be a loadmaster or something. Lots of travel, lots of money, cushy ass job.
overall it isn't a bad deal if you know what you want and are going for
Most of the hate is from people who didn't make the cut, chose the wrong job (lol @ infantry), or have never joined. Don't worry about it m8.
>You're a literal retard because I never said I was for either you relentless faggot
>Implying war isn't good for industry and the economy
cope tranny shill
You literally just said you can't build a house and now you're tryna flex on me. Jfc these beta men
I got everything out of it that I wanted. A good chunk of savings in the bank, best friends for life, the GI Bill and got /fit/
I knew exactly what I was doing when I got out. The GI Bill is great. I make more money just saving the BAH and going to school full time than I would working
My favorite was still the lock bundle when everyone stopped locking their shit for a day. DI has everyone burpeeing in the hallway for a half-hour while wiggling a giant mass of 30+ locks all snapped together.
Funniest shit is when half the people don't know their id number on the lock.
>le jews did it
It's good for the wealthy elites faggot, not common folk, they make money from war, read a fucking book
I'm strongly considering going to San Francisco and using the GI bill there. I have 30 months left of it, shit is going to be CASH
>Most of the hate is from people who didn't make the cut
and literal foreign LARPs
Where did I say I couldn't build a house? I'd need a hand with the concrete and framing but other than that?
Who owns the banks that defaulted and needed billions of taxpayer money to operate? You must love the taste of boot
>I never understood the “thank you for your service” types
I know that feeling, any time they find out it's first thing they say to me.
You ain't got to think me, you're already paying for me with your taxes, man.
The post I replied to implied that was near impossible for an average guy, that's who I was responding to
Do it. You'll get like almost 3k a month from it. Find some roommates, split the rent and pocket the rest while going to school.
Where I live I get 1500 a month and my rent is 400, so I just pay for my car and phone and save the rest. My wife also works so she pays the bills.
The BAH from the GI Bill alone while in school is worth the 4 years of enlistment.
OK BOYS...
BEST MRE ITEM?
It's not difficult in the slightest unless you're a fat fuck or an actual low IQ shithead from an environment where you're expected to rise to the challenge anytime someone yells at you.
You follow orders and do what you're supposed to without being told. The hardest part is keeping a straight face when you're standing next to a retard who fucked up and is getting yelled at for six minutes straight when your group should've already left for breakfast.
My personal favorite was the vanilla pudding
That was still me. I build and program machinery for a living, and the amount of people my own age who don't know what even a ratchet are is astounding. You must live in the middle of bumfuck nowhere with older people if you think anyone under the age of thirty knows what end of the screwdriver goes on the screw.
>It's good for the wealthy elites faggot

>tfw contract ends next week after 2 years of misery

What you have to understand about the army is that they have like no entry standards and training is designed to get anyone into shape, otherwise no one would get in. Unless you're a wheezing corpse that can't run or a landwhale, you can get in the army, there's nothing impressive or difficult about it.
>2 years?
what contract is this?
airforce?
source?
Southwest style beef and black beans or beef stew
my hair asshole
I didn't.
Army. 4 year contract but only the last 2 years sucked absolute dick.
San Francisco housing prices are atrocious, unless he does it with two-dozen room-mates. My recommendation is go elsewhere, work there until you can get in-state tuition. You're gonna bleed to the point of Exsanguination either way if you don't, you couldn't pay me enough to live SF.
Your information is about a decade outdated. The standards dipped during the surge, yes, but they're a lot more strict now. Waivers don't have a lot of wiggle room anymore.
My sister went to boot camp she said it was pretty easy, but some of the guys there were reduced to tears.
wrong
the correct answer is the strawberry banana dairy shake
half left face
I don't think in-state or out of state is relevant when it comes to the GI bill. 100% of public schooling is 100% across the board
enjoy that GI bill sucka its pretty dope
Best time of my life was sitting behind a desk in the middle east with OPM-SANG.
that's because girls have to do 5% of the work as the dudes and male drills don't want to go near them for any reason while female drills are too busy power-tripping on the male recruits to worry about them

Go let your daughter do porn you lolbertarian fuck. The US as an idea is dead.
Women do not belong in the martial caste. One of the many reasons the US lost Iraq and Afghanistan.
I was in the Air Force and can confirm that we get yelled at in boot camp. On the first night I got yelled at so loud and so directly in my ear that it was ringing for a full day. And that was just the secondary TO. My primary TO punched me square in the back very hard one time for not saluting the picture as we walked into the mess hall. The TO of my sister flight brought his girls into our shower area and told them to laugh at our dicks, but he got fired and arrested for that.
don't worry m8 I was already tracking. I postponed the degree tho because I got a contracting gig.
This is 100% fucking truth. Had a 2.8 HS GPA, never took an SAT/ACT, took a few classes through TA while I was in and I applied to the best school in my state with like a 40% acceptance and got in EZ.
Sorry user, I'm in a masters educational program, and that is simply not true. GI Bill only allocates so much, and out of state costs are usually 2-5X as much as in-state tuition. There might be schools that are more accommodating to veterans, but that is the present status-quo nationally for most universities.
It is as if you think the GI BILL would work the same for vets going to Harvard, Princeton or Yale. It doesn't work that way.
I got yelled at too, drill sergeants pushed recruits all the time, I understand the army isn't as retarded as 1980 alcoholism infested army, but saying there's no yelling and everyone gets ice cream and xbox all day is just blatant lying
women are coddled, not that the current military is challenging but bitches get away with everything
>Go let your daughter do porn you lolbertarian fuck.
like it's hilarious how the people that endlessly virtue signal about how they hate "degeneracy" always reveal that it's literally all they think about. Is that how you justify your perversions? You're "doing research" when you jerk off to weird shit?
That's how I went to Vanderbilt for undergrad and Texas A&M for grad.
You're right, I just skimmed through a couple websites and it's just 100% of in-state tuition. The GI bill adds 10k on top of the in-state tuition toward the out of state tuition but it isn't fully covered. Anti-based.
You get in-state tuition with certain graduate fellowships (scholarships in common tongue). Same works with undergraduate. In-state tuition can be offered through the university, but it must be awarded.
i was about to apply to vandy but they didnt offer full yellow ribbon
did you make it up in financial aid or have to pay the difference?
based
Regular ol' GI Bill + scholarships from the companies my parents worked for, mostly. I was also awarded a scholarship from the university itself which gave me in-state tuition. My total bill was around 15K and that was mostly just me going nuts with my money since I was a god among coeds for being able to buy alcohol as a freshman and joining a frat for a bit.
Graduate school at Texas A&M was cheaper, but TAMU is public.

Because of course the common user here are not shitting human-beings in themselves? If you refuse to blame yourselves and scapegoat it on everyone else or ((())), it must be someone else. Certainly not you, bet you are a scholar and a gentlemen. Something I wish a lot you fags were able to get from the military is the concept of personal responsibility.
That we are all the primary cause of our own woes, blaming others just allows that misery to go on if you don't man up to your responsibility in it.
Hot as balls, even around now. You'll spend the majority of the time staring at rocks and doing no training of any merit. Also if you can, try avoiding rail-head duty. That was the shit that sucked the most.

It's the "breeding ground" BECAUSE it isn't "let by itself."
