Damn

And we had a reputation and a drinking song

Would rather be a combat engineer, tank crewman or something related

Soon I'll get my technician degree

We played hard, worked hard, always had shit equipment but in the regular army we outdo a vast majority of infantry units in proficiency

Ahhh don’t be a tanker lol.

They’re deathtraps. One EFP will cut through that hull like butter

Older tanks maybe

Modern tanks, difficult

I’ve seen Abrams coded out man

The abrams is great for force on force. Not so much when you’re fighting an insurgency

True

Fucking TOWs too

Those shits are scary

The only advice I give young people is choose something that will benefit you when you get out.

Turns out being a bomb hunter and demo guy is a niche market on the outside lol. I lucked into the job I had now after like 3-4 years of struggling and hating life because the best paying job I could find was driving a semi

The thing about TOWs is you have to keep LoS on the target.

Got confused

Ya mean being a combat engineer was a good or bad thing to find a job later?

It definitely didn’t do me any favors

If I were you I’d do something with computers. The army basically trains you to an associates degree in the IT field. You get your security+ and network+ certs

Or do something in the intel field. Get a TS clearance and make big bucks when you get out.

Going around killing bad guys and breaking their shit is fun, but there’s not a lot of work for that when you get out

Yeah

But I don't see myself messing up with computers

Maybe I'm too dumb and/or hard headed

Lol I’m just giving you examples

There’s plenty of MOS’s that can translate into civilian jobs

I highly encourage you to do research on your own too

Yea yeah lol

I really need to

And a piece of advice for you. Settle on what you want before you walk into the recruiting station. All recruiters hate their jobs. They have a short list of MOS’s they need filled and will try to get you to sign up as one. Don’t do it. If they give you attitude walk out and wait a couple of days. They’ll magically call you saying “oh we worked it out and found you a spot for the job you want”

Ohhhhh I heard that shit before

Lol then now you know it’s verifiable

Recruiters have the highest suicide rate of any MOS in the army. And it’s only a 2 year assignment before they go back to their old MOS

Like the daughter of my father's wife, when she was trying to enlist the in the USAF

So your stepsister

Didn't know about that

Yeah man it’s brutal

Can't say stepsister

USAREC is a terrible command to work for

That's harsh

It’s the truth though

Yup

Life sucks

Like my cousin who was a marine and went to Iraq

Dunno know, but couldn't find a job for a good time

The military doesn’t exactly set you up for success on your way out. They give you some classes and basically tell you to figure it out

See I was never in Iraq or Afghanistan(some what glad too)

I was forced out, was angry, got on a plane to Ukraine and for legal reasons, went on a vacation

Lol I wanted to go on the Ukrainian vacation too

Shit might pop off again

I’m sure they’ll need guys that can run bomb dogs

Oh I'm sure

And can teach the locals all about IEDs and shit

Like how to make HME 😉

Shhhh

In Minecraft of course

Would rather follow the army as a career

Cherno was a popping server back in 2015-2016

Believing or not, god used some hard shit

Cool. Go be an 11B then

Course, not like in a war, damn

Lol

Slay bodies and pussy

What I said

Nah

Lolololololololol

0331

Not that kind of hard shit

Nah nah. Fuck that

For the everlasting glory of the infantry!

Lol hey that's what I was trained for

Name that book btw

Lol only in the marines can “machine gunner” be an MOS

Lol

Heu

If It's about money, okay with at some point, cause we're get used to not get much in this country tbh

Crayons and belt fed weapons, amirite

Bruh. Assaultman issa cooler MOS than 0331

That doesn't exist anymore

See @Sir Harndes

The marines are behind the times

You're not wrong

At least I can kick in a door more ways than one

Lmao 2nd MarDiv out here LITERALLY telling people how to live their life

Lmao

Bro. I can make that door disappear

Shhhh

See what?

Regardless of its material construction

You're using your brain too much

That wasn't allowed where I'm from

The army is way better than the marines. But this is an awesome rivalry we’ve had for centuries

Fuck you

Marines all the way lol

Hey hey guess who has the largest amphib landing in history

(I'll set up a fire)

What about navy?

Not the one branch that has it in their job description
