Myanmar is a f..ing legend they banned Facebook

2021-02-04 15:29:57 UTC  

why what happened?

2021-02-04 16:21:47 UTC  

@ThiccSpicyGenderRevealParty It's as if the Reserves received all the stupid parts of the regular Army (hurry up and wait, poor leadership, people not wanting to do their jobs, etc.) But kept none of the good parts.

My Dad's experience was that he was in for a year before they realized that they didn't have any of the correct paperwork (mind you, he was an officer, had been to OCS, the whole 9 yards). Since they didn't need his job anymore, they just told him to stop coming.

I had a SGT while on active-duty who'd been a Reservist medic. She stopped going to her drills because they never trained and only watched movies. She was going to be charged as AWOL until she brought that up with IG. She got switched over to the Guard.

Finally, there's me, in a medical unit that has us all sit around for SHARP, EO, and the occasional medical information briefing. I've been there two years and have never been issued any of my gear, I always have to turn in the same paperwork every month 'cause no one files any of it, apparently, and all of my transfer requests get "lost".

If you want to be a weekend warrior, go Guard. It's still hit or miss, but the hit ratio is a lot higher.

ouch

2021-02-04 18:40:01 UTC  

Nah active is where it's at. Might as well send it and go all the way instead of the weekend crap. Sure it's crappy half the time but the other half is pretty good for the most part

2021-02-04 19:06:02 UTC  

There's a trade off. The question is, do you want to hate your life half the time, but make really good friends and have great stories and benefits? Or do you want to only have a weekend a month (and a two week annual drill) where you hate life, but not have as great comradery or benefits?

If you find the right place on AD, I highly recommend it. It is a great experience, but remember to be careful and think about what you're doing. It's a 4 year contract minimum, so you better enjoy the job you choose.

that why i wanted to go and join the Artillery for Active Duty

2021-02-04 19:06:55 UTC

2021-02-04 19:08:26 UTC  

the 13 One

2021-02-04 19:10:03 UTC  

I knew a few people who were 13B's they loved their jobs.

2021-02-04 19:12:07 UTC  

Back when i was homeschooled for like 2 years, the head teacher's father was a ww2 vet and was part of an Artillery Crew, and thats probably what got me interested in Artillery in general to begin with

2021-02-04 20:11:09 UTC  

I can see that

2021-02-04 21:34:39 UTC

2021-02-04 22:19:12 UTC  

Im talking to the Army Reserves guy

2021-02-04 22:19:21 UTC  

he's selling it to me real well

2021-02-05 03:19:54 UTC  

It's their job to sell the military. That's how they get people

2021-02-05 03:24:07 UTC  

<@342170731091722241> you'd most likely have to go into CSOR before entering JTF-2.

2021-02-05 03:26:10 UTC  

Recon is typically a light infantry route.

2021-02-05 03:26:30 UTC  

For that you'd have to join the PPCLI 3rd brigade as you're in Calgary.

2021-02-05 03:26:51 UTC  

JTF-2 isn't better

2021-02-05 03:27:33 UTC  

They're just more focused on counter-terrorism and hostage rescue while CSOR is more focused on typical military special operations.

2021-02-05 03:31:13 UTC  

Also it's cringy when cadets refer to themselves by their "rank"

2021-02-05 03:33:35 UTC  

It is.

2021-02-05 03:33:50 UTC

My brother just told me that Gunship crews actually cheer, “Score, they’re shooting back” when enemies try shooting back at the@

2021-02-05 03:37:26 UTC  

Heh, you do realize the yanks are confused right?

2021-02-05 03:37:35 UTC  

Apparently they get paid more when the enemy shoots back at them

2021-02-05 03:38:24 UTC  

Don't speak other languages around them, it scares them
