Military General

Who here is thinking of joining the Military just in time for WW3.? Now is the best time to join. I'm heading to boot in August.
>inb4 dying 4 Israel XD XD XD
US Veterans and/or Current members of the Armed forces share your stories.

Only faggots join the military.

Why did you get turned down?

Only faggots sit back and enjoy the fruits of defense without contributing.

>tfw highschool dropout

Will they take me anyways if It's during a war?

this

This.

Ww3 aint gonna happen bud.

Yes, during a war though.

Air Force cyber guy here, best decision of my life even if it's ezmode military.

Not unless you have a ged and some college credits.

They prey on high school drop outs user.
Unless you're an invalid.

I did ROTC, got my college paid for, and never had to serve a single day. Taking advantage of the military-industrial complex is the best thing you can do for yourself, user.

In my case, no matter which branch I'd join, they'd consider me too valuable to be handed a gun and put in the ground. Even if I joined the Marines enlisted they'd put me in communications at worst.

I'd probably accept my fate and join the Air Force through officer training school and do comm there.

If the war gets bad enough. I hope it never does.

>>inb4 dying 4 Israel XD XD XD
here's a better idea.
NUKE ISRAEL!
They will never see it coming.
It will be funny.

Only faggots sit in their parents house playing Video Games all day without doing any manual labor and have the audacity to insult the very organization that protects them. If the Military didn't exist you would be getting anal pounded by 5 chinks right now.

How though? One of my freinds did something similar and got two years of free college and didn't pay a dime. This boggles my fucking mind.

This info is very conflicting

I enlisted before any of this happened. I finish high school next month then I go to cav scout school

I am 36 yrs old. All that lets me join is the Air Force or Coast Guard. I cant move so am looking at the AF reserve.

I am active, athletic, and hit the gym every other day. I am also realistic and know a 36-37 year old body isn't the same as a 21 year old one. I'd be fine in basic training right? And have any anons here served with a newbie my age?

>Scored high on my ASVAB

who /dronepilot/ here

I'm a high school dropout but I got a GED.
Yes, they will take you if war gets bad enough and as long as you're not retarded.

Nah, fuck that. Let some stupid sacks of shit "contribute".

I'm more important than they are.

In my case, the military was having a massive draw-down, so they let some of the cadets leave without having to pay back their tuition reimbursements. I just got really lucky, but I recommend using the military to pay for your college instead of getting ass-raped by students loans.

>profiteering
>defense
k

I was in the DEP with a guy in his early 30's and he couldn't fucking do any situps. You should be fine as long as you're athletic and fit

Graduating college this spring, plan on working for a year or so before hopefully getting into OCS (Navy). Feels pretty good desu

I got a 72 and I could've flown drones, but I want to be a scout instead

Good shit.
I'm planning on becoming an Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAV) Crewman after boot. MOS 1833.

If you're not a vet or current military you are definitely a cunt.

Good luck, bro

Obvious Bait is obvious

I would but i've got too much titanium on my bones. Living in the ghetto around gangs was my warzone.

If fuckers ever make it to me i'll be the last face they see though.

Nuke Israel, nuke Syria, nuke Iraq...
Nuke all those semites... nuff said

Joining AF, verified my ASVAB/PICAT and go back to MEPS in a couple weeks for medical processing.
Probably the one of the better decisions I've made.

You too man

You should consider going officer track. ROTC is fine, but the Service Academies will give you experiences and opportunities on a completely different level.

For example, H R McMaster was my history professor.

>apologies for the sideways, dated datestamp

>literally getting vaporized by a small nuke on a beach in some shit hole because an ad ontv told you playing dressup is cool

Nice, good luck

It's fun to insult Military faggots. They always take the bait.

They're like Vegans or some shit. You insult them and they turn red in the face and start arguing.

Shit's funny to me. Brainwashed fuckin' goons.

I don't know how the AF handles job picking, but if you can't get what you want
>DONT
>SIGN
Just wait. I made that mistake, but luckily I have amazing and they really helped me out

...

Your gonna get tasked out as a unit EO representative/faggot, watch.

...

Still butthurt about getting vaporized, lmao

Good luck in the service, OP. It's bullshit sometimes, but don't get bummed out by the little things. Take care of your buddies and yourself and you'll be fine.

Well, you gotta get to Corporal first to hop on the Officer path. It's also better that way because by the time your ready you already have experience.
Getting to Corporal requires patience, dedication and Balls. Which is not bad but if there's a huge war your lucky to even be alive by then.

I just wanna shoot gooks or dune coons desu

I was in the marines from 04-08. Good luck.

Thank for the tax free military retirement. Keep paying your taxes, cuck.

you should: JOIN the army. It's the american way!

Not if you know what the fuck you're doing.
Plus I'm not some lazy whiny spook or Gook.

Former Marine here.

Joined in time to go to war, left in time to experience the "peacetime" Corps. I know some of you might be wanting to join in hopes of WW3 action, but you're in for a miserable military career if you go 03xx and nothing happens. Be smart and pick an MOS that you can use in the future.

Are you going army?

Planning on Marines.

The good old days

Let me give you a quick rundown, Rambo. I would guess I have met at least 3 people that came back from Iraq with fucked up hearing do to IED's. I know at least two on 70% disability due to being over there. I know one guy that almost bled to death, and now has a big ugly scar down the front, from service. If you think death is fun now, just wait. I really hate to see any of my American brothers die as a result of some proxy kike/globalist war.

I'd recommend army desu. You don't sign your job contract in the the marines until you leave for training. The army guarantees your job when you sign at meps.

I'm very retarded, socially and academically.
I want to get my GED and join but I think it would be very hard because I never really did any schoolwork past grade 1.

As long as he pays taxes he is doing his part

same user, different device
I'll be trying to apply in open electronics, hoping to do something with avionics, preferably on the fighters.
Going to use the GI bill while still in service to get a degree in Electrical Engineering. If there's any time left I'll apply for officer in civil engineering.
After that I plan to use the GI bill again and get a double major in finance/business with minor in economics and go on to get a master's in business.
Ultimate goal is to create my own business someday.

>muh mustangs
Its a good option, but overrated in my opinion. A few year's experience of police calls, gate guard and working a floor buffer doesn't give you that much advantage at the officer level.

What about a UAV Pilot Training Certificate

>dying for Israel
lol
seriously though I would have joined up if I wasn't medically disqualified

If you join as enlisted, be a tanker. feeling the recoil of a 120mm gun is a life changing experience, you'll get addicted

Don't do it. You'll be around literal children, take shit from leaders 10 years younger with 100x the experience you have, you'll hate it.

You may think you're fit but in basic they push you on ways only young bodies can really cope with

get good grades in high school then get 4 year scholarship

in your senior year of college find some medical condition you can claim that is a disqualifier that you "just found out you have" and get a medical discharge

a guy in my marine contract NROTC unit got his forgiven for being a sleepwalker and we all knew he was the whole 4 years. we would even tie his ankle to his bunk when we were deployed on ship during the summer

the downside is that the education and training command board can rule you have to repay if they believe you were being deceptive

i'm 39 now and i went through USMC officer candidate school in the summer of '99 and the lack of sleep alone would fucking pound me in the ass without even factoring in running hills in 100 degree wet heat all day

good luck with that

Lol they don't promise shit. There is a clause that says for the good of the military, that clause overrides everything you sign.

Hell yea, dude. When I get out I'm going to start a marijuana farm with my best friend

I went through air force basic in the winter of 2011. We had a guy going TAC-P and he was 34. Guy made it just fine. As long as you are in decent shape you will be fine. Air force basic is a cakewalk.

>degree in Electrical Engineering

this is what i squeezed out of the government

best decision i could have ever made in my life x1000

as a vet with a EE degree and strong career writing software i couldn't be jobless even if i tattooed "fuck you, nigger" on my forehead

Who the fuck convinced you to go CavScout??

KeK

It's just what I wanted to do lmao. I said I'd also take infantry, fire support specialist, or tanker

I had a plan for a small time operation like that as well. Friend and I thought about starting a brewery.
that gives me hope that this'll be the right decision

>72

Jesus, you scored lower than the machine gunners we had. No fucking way you're being let near anything lethal. If you're not maxing that bitch, you're a literal retard and should be put down.

t. Marine 0311

syria and russia are the good guys

I hope you DON'T get sea sick. Those tracks get tossed around pretty good in moderate seas.
And I hope you pass the driving school, if not, you'll be the guy who has to clean up the puke from the other jarheads.
Good luck.

I just bullshitted most of it honestly. I wanted a combat role and I didn't need to really try hard for it. I hate sitting down at a computer and testing.

>Defense

AGAINST WHAT? THE CIA IN TOWELRAGS?

Why does the US treat its soldiers like shit? Not trying to bait or anything but I hear time and time again of how they don't even give you decent pay or good meals while you're busting your ass for your country.

this is so true. i had to ride in these during beach landings and this flat bottomed shit is a true sea sickness test especially with that diesel engine belching fumes in the vehicle and hot seawater crashing through the driver's hatch while you're wearing full combat gear with helmet and floatation device

bitches will be puking all over that motherfucker

you will be the happiest nigger on the planet when that ramp comes down and will run out into machine gun fire with nothing but joy on your face

because it's pure fucking socialism

most of your time in the military is pure goddamned boredom sitting around literally staring at a wall and for all this you get paid better than a lot of americans that bust their asses doing real nigger work and you get called a hero and decent tier healthcare that people would kill you for

Literally rejoined, after 3 years of getting out, a week before the Syrian missile strike. I go to AIT in August as a MOS-T while I work with my recruiter on getting my pt back before then. S-should I just fail it guys?

why do you want to go to war with syria again?

To kill sand people
Also, check'd

Sounds untrue, your leaders are sometimes shit and the army bullshit everybody deals with is shit, but suck it up and deal.

But you get free food, which is pretty decent at the DFACs. Better than the shit I cook right now.

>pay is shit
Hardly, you don't have to pay healthcare or dental or anything like that, even as an E3 you're taking home 1700 bucks a month. How people manage to spend 1700 dollars a month is beyond me.

so it's just mindless racism, do you think perhaps there might be another reason they want you to do this?

you'll be fighting for the green guys btw

I just heard people say "below minimum wage" and I thought people taking on such demanding work, even if it's one of the cushier jobs.

I'm just memeing you, silly bong

I joined after 9/11, joining again for this one.

Heading to OCS Wednesday.

Once I had an Intel brief on the terrorist threat in Bahrain. One of the groups they warned us about was known for being agitators concerned with "wanting democracy and more student rights".

Uh-huh. Wait are WE the bad guys?

>below minimum wage
Maybe for the hours worked. Technically you're on call 24/7 unless you're on leave (even then, you're expected to be recalled in the event of an emergency). But normal hours for us was 8-10 hours depending on the day. For an FTX it's about 12 hours (you're only given 4 hours of allowed sleep a day on FTX or duty lasting 24 hours). But most people will work just 8-10 hours and you get paid based on your rank, which is a fair wage in my opinion because you don't have to spend bills on healthcare or dental.

holy shit what branch?

if it's Marine Corps please update me on how that goes. i'd fucking die if i attempted going back through at this age. i went at 21 and showed up with a 285 PFT and it was still hard as fuck

I was in the Army
It sucked.
the end.

Don't meme like that

Keep pretending to be retarded and you might actually end up retarded

I would rather be tortured to death than fight for Islamist terrorists against secular Arabs, and here you are making fun of it. If you love Shariah law that much just go live in Saudi Arabia instead of fighting for it in Syria.

I went in the cream corn as a radar guy in '02 at age 17, going to the air force this time. I just called it ocs since nobody knows what ots is.

Everything I've read and all the videos I've seen make it seem like a cake walk - only one week in the field and the rest is drill and giving speeches.

I'm trying to join planning on talking to my recruiter this can anyone let me know if Im disqualified by following artibutes?
>25
>Have well controlled asthma
>Drop out but I have my GED
>Tattoos
I've been training all winter trying to get back into shape also can anyone give me a rundown on what the ASVAB tests you on ?

I'm off in a few weeks.
I hope to fuck my country isn't retarded and tries to fuck with you guys, since we'd lose horrifically.

...

Bump for answers

>asthma
You're out, dude. Sorry.
