Docs come in at captain if I remember right, lawyers at 1st lt and promote shortly after

Docs have came in at Captain since Korea right?

The army used to have a program where if you had experience and like two years of college you could come in as e4 or e5 in a few jobs. I think paramedics or LPNs could come in as e5 medics

College is E4 at entrance

Civilian acquired skills program

They did it for cooks too I think

And I think cops a LONG time ago

Its for everyone atm

Every MOS? So if I shoot people and go hiking a lot for two years I can get instant e5 11b?

No e4

something wholesome for a change

College is instant E4 regardless of job

Yeah a bachelor

I'm talking about something else

It was the program where you had to have job skills

Acasp

Only certain jobs get guaranteed E5

having job skills is racist

And its not guaranteed perse

I have to ask, because I have gotten mixed responses from other Military or Ex-Military, is the Armed Forces in a bad Recruitment drought or has 8 years of Democrats stifled the budget?

Just thats how fast they promote

We had a dude who had a degree in English literature, 38 year old contract e4

Really awesome guy

Recruiting is only hard in the army

Everyone else is picky af

Economy helps and hurts too. Bad economy, everyone wants to join the army.

Good economy, people wise up to the fact that you can make more money elsewhere

Fairly accurate

https://www.facebook.com/TheMeninisms/videos/2138357789531403/ that's some top tier trolling

Especially the Airforce one

..... does, does anybody have statistics of which political party has historically been drafted/conscripted the most?

I know a guy that wanted to join the National Guard but they told him no because he was missing a tooth and didn't want to pay for the replacement.

So as I was going to put, this trade war is a product of two governments massive egos. I don't want our government putting in jeopardy our interest rates because i can lose bigly if my interest rate goes sky high on my mortgage as the Bank of Canada predicts will happen at the current state of affairs. Trump wants a win on NAFTA. Negotiations should involve giving him a minor win and not one at all. It's not just me that'll have troubles but the entire housing market which by the way is ready to pop like 2007.

So yeah I'm bitter about JT looking for a chance to look tough because Trump has the economic muscle to crush us.

So making silly comments about "youre Canadian" or that I should have my PM's back when it's threatening my livelihood?

It's great fun to beat the trade war drum but just remember there are Canadians counting on our government to negotiate more and act tough less.

Sent that to my libtard friends

@Victus Shmmidtt used to be that you joined up without teeth and had a full set by the end of basic training

Saw it happen

I also know a guy who wasn't let in because he weighed too much. But the catch was that he had almost no fat but all muscle (And as you know muscle weighs more than fat) and they told him flatly no.

Yeah the body fat thing is dumb too

There are waivers for that

Just like the beard thing
