that stubbornness is good in some scenarios but it's what got a hell of a lot of them killed in Iraq

2019-05-08 01:22:41 UTC  

Marines are basically the Slavs of america atm

2019-05-08 01:22:52 UTC  

yeah brute forcing shit doesn't work out so well irl

2019-05-08 01:23:58 UTC  

The army isn't all amazing either but we have our shit together relatively speaking

2019-05-08 01:25:06 UTC  

Honestly if the corps would get it's shit squared away, it wouldn't be so bad.

2019-05-08 01:25:23 UTC  

Their biggest issue is lack of focus branchwise

2019-05-08 01:25:23 UTC  

But with things going the way they are, I doubt they will

2019-05-08 01:25:37 UTC  

I think the Navy is doing the best atm

2019-05-08 01:25:37 UTC  

They don't know what they want to be as a force

2019-05-08 01:25:50 UTC  

Idk man I have friends in the 7th fleet

2019-05-08 01:25:58 UTC  

And they paint a different picture about the navy

2019-05-08 01:26:30 UTC  

I.e undermanned, overworked, shits falling apart, Chiefs are half shitty etc

2019-05-08 01:26:50 UTC  

Turning into the brits

2019-05-08 01:26:51 UTC  

I mean that same complaint can be extended mil wide but you squids got it rough sometimes

2019-05-08 01:27:16 UTC  

Ya we are under manned but it depends on command really

2019-05-08 01:27:18 UTC  

Military in general is in some bad times

2019-05-08 01:28:10 UTC  

Honestly joining in peacetime is kinda stupid unless you do a very technical role

2019-05-08 01:28:18 UTC  

And at that point just go air force and have it easy

2019-05-08 01:28:48 UTC  

Or coast guard and go do something useful

2019-05-08 01:29:03 UTC  

My step brother is a coastie

2019-05-08 01:29:10 UTC  

It's underrated

2019-05-08 01:29:12 UTC  

Doesn’t do shit but fish all day

2019-05-08 01:29:17 UTC  

Everyone shits on it but they're a cool branch

2019-05-08 01:30:07 UTC  

I have only had interactions with him and honestly those are pretty few and far between. But they do some cool drug interdiction stuff.

2019-05-08 01:30:32 UTC  

Lol yeah that's more than you can say for the rest of us

2019-05-08 01:30:34 UTC  

That whole not getting paid during government shutdown is pretty fucked though.

2019-05-08 01:30:48 UTC  

I did some fun stuff in the army but like damn most of it was just waiting around

2019-05-08 01:30:54 UTC  

Saaaaaaame

2019-05-08 01:30:56 UTC  

Yeah that part was shitty

2019-05-08 01:31:09 UTC  

Back in 2014 we had something similar with the shutdown then

2019-05-08 01:31:14 UTC  

When DoD wasn't funded

2019-05-08 01:31:20 UTC  

2011 it happened too

2019-05-08 01:31:25 UTC  

Everything around base was closed for 2 weeks

2019-05-08 01:31:33 UTC  

Nothing happened

2019-05-08 01:31:35 UTC  

I was in Germany and they were like hey no ones getting paid

2019-05-08 01:31:47 UTC  

Yep it's pretty dumb

2019-05-08 01:32:06 UTC  

We were in Graf so it didn’t really make a difference to us at the time

2019-05-08 01:32:09 UTC  

But yeah the constant doing nothing especially once the wars mostly ended is the worst part

2019-05-08 01:32:38 UTC  

Totally agreed. Garrison army shit blows. Deployments are a whole different beast.

2019-05-08 01:32:39 UTC  

It's an SOF world now

2019-05-08 01:33:03 UTC  

I enlisted during war time when there was that mini surge to Afghanistan in 2011
