Dirty af.

I was with a combat aviation unit first in a Singal Company and then as a TOC singal chief, my counterpart flew with Patreus as his commo sergeant.

First and last time ive ever eaten roasted camel.

Monday, I'll be signing into the Army hopefully for intelligence. Any experience with those guys? How were the locals? Usually, vets come back with stories about how they're shit, even though you want to help them, but they just want handouts, ect.

Cool. Best of luck to you.

Local Nats are always shit unless youve got a terp that dreams of being American one day.

Most LNs wont show up on time, you fove them instructions they respond with what is basically a 'fuck you' by saying 'if Allah wills it'.

Deodorant has been invented yet over there.

Hasnt been**

Currently in. Older pic because J don't take many.
It's alright. Noone likes hillary and most dislike trump.

Checked. What language are you learning for DLAB?

Thanks. Didn't doubt that, any pictures my friend? Any cool/funny/creepy stories?

LCpl in the RMP

Everyone I know is right wing or hard right wing. Pretty nice feeling to be honest.

Cool. What all do you do daily?

2009, Conscript, Royal navy. Went boating/pubcrawling in northern europ/canada and east coast US.
Pretty peaceful political climate.
Obviously shitville in Iraq/afghanistan though

Generally I do lots of paperwork I've been given some time to train since I'm going to be giving P Coy a go as soon as I can and then maybe go for CPU in order to climb the ladder a bit.

I've only been a redcap for about a year, so I'm fresh out the box so to speak, I was a reservist prior to joining the real thing.

Sounds pretty fun, any favourite places? What rank did you rise to?

Artillery man here. A few tours and sent to shut parts of the world. Nothing funner than direct firing jihadists desu.

Those are Canadian soldiers, not US Marines.

Any confirmed kills, my hard@hearing friend? Also, which shithole?

Any pictures you can share? Wish ya luck, mate.

Okay, renamed, thanks.

I'm infantryman here, pretty quiet overall sometimes there is problem at the border with drug traffickers been in exchange of fire a few times disarmed a few traps and shot a few people, i got unlucky i'm from Mato Grosso which is border to the worst shitholes in south america and they come pouring in with drugs and war like weaponry

Any cool stories from shooting people?

don't think theyre cool or comical like, but one time a friend almost stepped over a mine, yes people actually put traps and mines in drug labs in the jungle

pic related was an ambush from traffickers they took out one of the most powerful dealers in the region, the guy had armored humvees escorting him so they had to use this beast to take him out war lastest for about 1 hour multiple people wounded 3 dead including the boss cause he was driving his own humvee at the front

SrA Linguist reporting in.

Best job I've ever had (except for having to test every year for my language proficiency)

i wasn't at that fight, they called in the army later to secure the town but nothing happened later few arrests nothing more

...

C7 and cadpat not american reeeeee

...

...

wew, what a mess. Does the Army usually get called for drug cleanup?

cool pictures user. Are they yours?

Also, I changed the name, REE

...

no, usually the federal police takes care of that but sometimes we have to patrol the border destroy labs and stashes, also the police do the investigations when they will do a bust they usually call in special forces from the military police to aid them, army is pretty much securing borders and patrolling in this parts, but in the Amazonia they have a tiny garrison in the middle of the jungle were there are almost no contact with cities for miles they receive supplies by plane or chopper and stay isolated for around 6 months, that must be tough

>they respond with what is basically a 'fuck you' by saying 'if Allah wills it'.
Kek, this is common all over the Muslim world. An uncle of mine worked briefly in Saudi Arabia, he said people used to fob him off all the time with "inshallah"

>Mohammed, will the building materials get here by tomorrow?
>inshallah :^)

...

Cool, what rank have you risen to? Do you enjoy it?

WHAT KIND OF DOG IS THAT

Currently a squid. CG-57. ET3.
Can't wait to go on deployment next year.

The political atmosphere? It depends on who your chain of command is for us. We just had a male focus group where the Captain said "If you don't think women should be in the workplace go home and shoot yourself in the head". Love the Old Man. XO is the most annoying cunt in the Navy though. Not happy they are letting Trannies in though, I wish SecDef would fuck off.

Sup fellow Dog Face soldier. That a UFO behind that 50?

...

-Currently OR-5 (Nato rank)
-Everybody is sligthly pissed off at the moment, you can figure out why
>might get arrested because i make implications on an Illegal-opinion website

...

what would this unit be called??

a company?

>he fell for the army strong meme

Nasty Girl Infantry fag here. Went to OSUT. Deployed a month later.

Most of the people in my unit are tryhard moto rednecks who haven't done or seen shit. The ones that have are alright.

Overall it's ok I get my school paid for mostly, and get to be made fun of by active duty.
