ITT: reasons you’ll never re-enlist
I’ve officially EASd from the marine corps. Just rolled and lit my first blunt. Any former/current military fags out there? I’ll start with the basics
>mass punishment
>field day
>police call
>proper greetings to higher ups
So you homeless or not yey?
No I’ll be using post 9/11 GI bill. Cause why would you pass up getting paid on top of free tuition?
Bumping
To qualify to be a NCO in the army today is who sucks the best dick and being the best Christian you can be. and being white.
>all first sergeants
Navy vet here. I literally smoked weed the minute I got home after leaving for the last day. I bought it beforehand and everything, but I didn't smoke it because I was afraid they'd pull some last minute drug test or some other bullshit (you know how they can be).
But I left the ship. Left base. Drove home. Walked in. Took off boots. Smoked myself silly.
I used to lie back in my rack dreaming about the day I'd be a civilian again and using the GI Bill. Getting BAH and everything....then it happened.
It's nice. Enjoy yourself user.
Wanted to keep my clearance. Still no drugs.
...
I kept mine. As long as you don't take a polygraph you're fine.
I got out as an E-5, went to school and got a degree, now I make roughly what an O-6 makes. It's nice.
My advice for anyone getting out and using their GI Bill is that it's cool and you should enjoy it, but don't lose focus. Party all you want and enjoy your freedom again, but keep your eye on the prize and do your school work.
Im former AD Navy, now reservist. I live in SF area now getting like $4k+ untaxed GIBILL +working full time FeelsGoodMan
USMC 0331 1st btn 9th Marines before they disbanded in 07.
Fuck getting pissed on by sergeants all day. When I got out I got so much donut hole and pounded IPAs like there was no tomorrow
*4k/mo
>donut hole
what this
Pussy my man.
0341 here, counting the days till I EAS.
Got out of the Corps in 2001. Never regretted the decision for a second.
Got out of the military in 2016. Never looked back. I enjoyed my time in the service and got to do a lot of cool shit, but it was time to go.
Never enlisted period. If the powers that be want some unknown enemy overseas killed they can get off their rich pampered asses and do it themselves, I serve no man.
I take a polygraph every 4-5 years dude, and can be called on to take it at anytime.
It's okay man. We understand. Not everybody is a real man.
Go out the corps in 2012. Didnt regret it, got fucked up in afghan , still suffering today tbh but at least i take home 4k a month while smoking weed and not habing a job right
Youre so cool dude.
Then you're making the right choice. I don't have to take a polygraph.
kek you must be fun to listen to at parties
His stories literally start of with "One time I was eating a salad..."
i was wandering if that possible not that i wanna but if say you live by yourself ?? all other benefits still apply ?
I just got my VA disability claim settled last week. 100%.
$39,000 per year, tax free.
you know who isn't fun to listen to at parties. fucking PTSD drug addict ex military guys. for whatever reason I know a bunch of these. they are total train wrecks.
>treated like a fucking child day-in, day-out...
>Shitty leadership
>micromanagement
>unit fucking you on a daily basis
>not much war going on
You're so cool man...
I feel bad for em. they are clearly fucked up. I was scoring H one time in DC, and were all packed into a SUV, and the vet next to me went into some PTSD shit and jumped out of the car at a fucking stoplight. After he calmed down he was telling us that in desert storm, when the SCUD warnings would come in, they'd all shovel into these tiny little tunnels - and more and more people would keep packing in - and now sometimes when in confined places he would freak out.
another guy I know - hes like in his early 30s. Has some damage to his legs from an IUD or something - not bad, he can still walk. But he is paranoid as fuck, always smocking rock. Carries a gun fucking everywhere in his beat up truck. Takes ANY comment as a fucking insult - seen him pull that gun on so many fucking people. He'll disappear for a few weeks, spends it in a motel smoking crack and fucking prostitutes. Keeps trying to go back to school, but keeps fucking it up.
Thats just the crack thats not war shit lmaaaaaoooooo
Nah he's fucking crazy even when he isn't smoking. But I agree - the crack is a problem. But his fucked up ness goes way deeper.
I tapped out at meps when I learned that if I decided to just walk away from the job and my time wasn't up, I could go to fucking prison.
I'm just not built for that shit, restrictions make me defiant.
I don't know how to explain it, orders piss me off.
I don't mind a civilian boss telling me to do stuff, even if he's a cunt about it, because ultimately it's my choice to walk out or not. He can fire me, maybe even blackball me in the industry, but he can't take my fucking freedom away.
When the counselor was actually truthful to me (first time anybody was) about how the military actually works, I just had to fucking go.
I thought I was going to go fight somewhere for my bit and then go home (like my fathers and his fathers and his father's service), not sit around stateside catering to the whims of superiors on threat of punishment.
I don't think I'm actually a pussy and I'm not ungrateful to my nation, I went on to fight forest fires for 11 years before going urban and I never even considered washing out until I had a daughter who needed to be near some specialists.
I just can't mentally accept the idea of actually losing my freedom. I couldn't get past that shit.
Maybe I'm just fucked in the head or felt different because it was the 90's and we didn't really have anybody to really worry about, I don't know. maybe I was just mad at the recruiter for glandhanding me, I do really hate liars.
Does/did the non-optional aspects of being in the military ever bother any of you?
That's exactly why I got out and didn't re-enlist. i agree 100%. You made a smart move.
Do you ever walk outside in your military uniform to get discounts?
Did 4 years as an USMC officer was fun and challenging but Jesus christ majors were usually idiots that got to O4 because Iraq and afghan needed retention
i got tired of stupid arrogant kids younger than me giving me orders just because they spent a few years in a piece of shit military academy.but the worst are those 27-35 female ncos that try to feel as a powerful woman in your expense.
Pension
Couldn't enlist to begin with
This often applies to lot of women in manly positions be it in police or military. They try to fit in by being completely uptight jobsworth bitches. Usually where as male cops are relaxed, woman in same position would be extremely uptight and yelling at you.
Going to basic In a few months, after I graduate. Enlisted as a 19-D
not just that,they follow protocol too much and they just can't improvise when its needed.they're completely inflexible.i dont understand how there's such a huge difference in genders.i had to see it for myself.
I understand, independent thinkers are frowned upon by the herd. Go do what your superiors tell you to soldier boy.
Former USAF SOWT here. I loved my job but it was literally science meets Rambo. I washed out of CCT selection. Shit's a killer. Now enjoying a nice blunt and watching Netflix all day. I already took a drug test for a job so I'm good. Any of you niggers ever get into contracting?
Gonna Enlist soon, I'm an Aspie, any advice?
Be a gray man. Don't stand out. Don't volunteer for anything. Don't be first or last for anything but don't not give it your all.
Also, Senior NCOs will always hate you.
Talk to veterans and see if you still want to enlist.
>Gonna Enlist soon, I'm an Aspie, any advice?
keep calm,follow protocol,dont get enraged and shoot someone for yelling at you or 'disrespecting' you.be gentle but firm with your fellow soldiers. dont let them trump you over but dont be an asshat either.
Now join the anti-war movement.
Keep my mouth shut and head cool, I'm pretty good at that. Should I get a therapist recommendation/waver?
keep you mouth shut and do what you're told.
You hit the nail right on the head. Also waiting hours for batallion commander to show up for his own formation when its 110 degrees in 29 stumps.
Whats a therapist waiver? I hate how shit is so soft these days. Who cares if you get chewed out? Part of being a Marine.
It's basically going to a therapist and having them vouch for you being mentally sound. If you have ADD, Aspie, whatever, it might help during your initial medical exam.
enjoying the fresh air? :^)
...
only 10 more years i can collect a retirement at 38
When they do "moments of truth" keep your mouth shut. Its easy to hide. They cant pull your med records. Thats the reason they try to scare you into telling them by saying you could go to the brig for lying. The onky way they will know is if you tell them. I got in with Asthma and ADD and a TBI. Did just fine.
i see you have enough time in between prepping tyrone before he paints the inside of you wife white to shitpost
...
I'm not beginning a career by lying.
Im planning to enlist in the marine corps. And im a lance corporal LE1 in the MCJROTC. Yup... idk if anyone gives a fuck lul
:)
...
...
...
...
Nobody gives a fuck at all about your JROTC. If anything we think your fags. Do yourself a favor and keep it to yourself.
Former Army.
I couldn't take the politics.
I was the target of one NCOs wrath because I wasnt buddy buddy and I regularly interrupted her little dates during duty hours to ask her how we could more effectively sweat our asses off in the hot ass motorpool.
She tried everything to kick me out including blocking my promotion from e2 so I'd either get pissed and get myself kicked out or I'd be RCP'd. I know this because she told me after I signed a counseling statement for my one and only pt test fail (was sick af.)
Then, I had a new leader that tried to butter me up with false promises and, as soon as I said I wasnt re-upping, I was treated like I had been arrested for a DUI and beat up my CO.
Youd be retarded not to. That "integrity" bullshit is for the boy scouts. Its so much harder if you need waivers. Dont be a faggot.
I don't fight for Necons...
4 months til I roll mine my dude, last duty station? I’m a Corpsman on Lejeune and hating life
...
You probably wouldnt fight for anyone.
i graduated high school as a LE 2 and a sgt best advice i can give you is dont give up
how many marine dicks and balls have you seen in all your time
Who are you with? Im taking it youre FMF?
>EASd
Your use of acronyms is the main reason I left. Only fucking douchebags use lots of acronyms. Also, the ignorance and poverty.
Too many dude
Right now 2nd med, before that MAG 29 purple foxes, before that 2/6
daily reminder that korea is not a deployment
I know nome of us know what to say to this shit but thanks for your service. Its just a job and not special. I get that but I love FMF Corpsman. You guys are legit lifesavers when it comes time to do your job. YUTTTTTTT.
Bco 1/6 Wpns. Plt Got out in 92. Gulf War shit is killing me faster every day. Gonna get famous before I go.
Fucking rahh devil
Also *39 my fault typing on my phone
hey guys, gonna head to the shitter. watch my dip for me.
Problem is, like 85% of all ex-enlisted end up sitting in a rented trailer, in the middle of the woods in a southern state, with a child they can't see from an ex-wife who hates them, posting shit on facebook like "What's happening tonight?!? Bored!" Personally, i'd stay enlisted
Better be cope black long cut
It's how we weed out the posers. Eventually some drunk fag in a bar will say he was in Afghan or Iraq or some shit, so you ask him his mos or 4th general order and make him look like the shit he is.
>what was your MOS?
>"s-sergeant"
every time
>skoal mint
Air Force bombed the shit out of my Battalion during Gulf War. Killed people in my Platoon.
lol i thought you were mass eating donuts and drinking beers all day lmao +p
Or ask him what unit he was in when he was deployed and they werent even in country at that time
If you get stationed at Ft. Irwin in 11th ACR, go swing by 2/11 Armor & say hi to their Sqd Cdr for me. He was my ROTC cadre at UW.
If you have something that will disqualify you & the only way they're going to know is if you tell them, I highly suggest you consider keepin' yer trap shut. I was gonna go in as an Aeroscout Observer. But I was the same way you appear to be & didn't want to "start an honorable career dishonorably," so I told them I'd smoked weed a couple times a year or so beforehand.
Only MOS they said I was qualified for after that was 94B. Which was transferred over in 1996 to 92G.
Learn from my mistake, user. Don't say shit.
Ooh, more pictures of breastfeeding mom plz
Motor T gone infantry, best reason to he glad to be out-
>Mandatory Fun Day
I’m current 1/11 now :)
