And infantry is much more competitive than signal, so it didn’t make any sense to me

Needs of the army come first

Maybe pushing them for ranger tabs n shit?

Yeah well as long I get a fucking tour to satisfy my family I’ll be happy

So I don’t get Harrased at Christmas dinners and stuff

Its not all up to stuff man

There are tabbed infantry officers that don’t get deployments in their first four years

You can’t control everything

Mhmm

We had our PL get fucked into an XO spot with only three months of line time

You can narrow the odds in your favor, volunteer for individual augmentee deployments, work with the AIM marketplace to try and catch a good position, etc...

But life works the way it works and you shouldn’t beat yourself up if the winds blow differently

Well idc if I get deployed but. knowing who my uncle knows he would do his best to make sure. Some like general or something from his time as a ranger

Hmm

Yeah, pulling strings can always happen. I had a friend going to Wainwright get his orders changed to the 82nd because of a family friend

But it’s also not something you can rely on

Heyyyyyyy he dodged a fucking bullet

Lucky motherfucker

Yeah, that would’ve sucked

Like I said. Idc I’m doing my part

It's a shithole in a handbasket

I’m just a cog in the machine

Wainwright is discount 25th

They had some of those dudes go from an FTX, to help with CST (sit in a shithole in Kentucky for 4 months), to a deployment.

Not sure what BN because I didn’t ask, but to hear the guys I talked to speak it sounded like they were getting straight raw dogged by the army

Damn no leave or nothin

Well it is what it is

Unless it was being played up for sympathy it sounded like it was go-go-go.

I wanna make a “stop gun violence” gofundme and say that I’m donating to gun rights groups. Hopefully leftists just read the title and donate

But considering all of the UMO work that needs done pre-deployment I’m sure there was definitely a buffer between KY and deployment in AK

I do have a question tho. So I know rotc isn’t necessary and that you can do another 12 week course which would be better? In your opinion

Deployment in AK?

No, going to KY to wainwright to deploy

Ah so they're over with hs

Us*

Poor fucks

That’s called OCS, and it’s easier but also you get last pick of jobs

So even studs get fucked over

I went to BOLC with some square jawed GI Joes that wanted infantry out of OCS and ended up ordnance (maintenance in an FSC)

Rip

We had an NCO PCS up to Wainwright with five kids then told he was deploying like two weeks out from the date, didnt even run him through RFI or nothin

yikes
