I didn’t even apply
I was like wtf
@Kevin Do what @SonderSchutz TX said, they'll make you an officer on the spot. No doubt.
Or the other thought I had was Join? Could it be beneficial to us some how?
I have a friend in intelligence some alleged he works for NORAD while he’s zipper tight I squeeze him for info sometimes when I’m bored
You forfeit all opinions when you're a member
Agreed
I’ll just show her the picture next time she drops by lol
"to ourselves and our prosperity" is a quote from the preamble of the american constitution. If you change the phrase at all it loses the connection to our founders
“Ever heard of @Thomas Ryan he’s my current commander “ jk lol
@Goodest_Boy *Posterity
I have fat thumbs
They must be desperate if there doing house calls though
I mean I’ve heard of the shortage apparently all the snowflakes are going to college now instead of the military.
So question for the military guys here. Hypothetically if things got tight financially would it make sense to apply to the National Guard?
NG is like the reserve officers I had a few friends back in the day join. It was like two weekends out of a month they’d fly or take a train to their home base. First few months your not allowed to leave base during your training. He was complaining about not being able to smoke cigarettes too.
Sign up bonuses depending on your level of education and commitment. However that’s about it lol because your pays garbage for the first few years lol
I was mostly wondering if it could work as a backup plan incase something happened with the future family.
I haven’t delved into signing bonuses that was like. 8-ish years ago, it they are hurting for recruitment as much as it seems like. Could be higher now. As far as everything else you’d get training free of charge lol after a while you’d probably be stationed closer to home depending on where your location is if they have one so you’d have to report there when they tell you to.
Idk about taking your gear home I guess if you got a on call status you could. But I know here there’s a NG armory like 10 minuets from me so I’m guessing that’s where they keep their goodies if they need them.
As far as a backup plan yes and no it probably won’t pay your bills entirely. But they could train you as say something in heavy wheel and track mechanic. Or if your lucky airplane mechanic, so that’s the yes part lol if you want to have a fallback trade
But you gotta keep in mind your property of the American government once you sign up.
They're usually made up of patriotic white men. But right now those people are villafied. They aren't going to sign up you protect America. They're signing up if they have no other option
Yea that was back when Iraq and Afghanistan where still hot but fizzling out. Other than JROTC, the bottom of the barrel was signing up. I’ve been out of the loop. Most of my friends who went in where patriotic (blind) however they went on to get some pretty good jobs after.
A lot of independent contractors/companies will actually offer you better pay and higher bonuses when your tour is coming to a end lol
The one friend I have is a lifer his first son died of SIDS on base, never got past it. I think it killed him inside and that’s why he never left. But he’s got a pretty high rank now and good pay.
Don’t quote me on anything that was years ago and everything could be different now.
If your looking to learn like a trade or something and have some resume padding it could be worth a look.
And if they find out about your extra curricular activities it will probably come to a quick end lol
One of our guys who I can no longer get ahold of joined border patrol afterwards
Ha
He was concerned about getting doxxed lol
We definitely need space propaganda
That looks nice
You guys seen elon musk's new space suit? Looks good
Is that built for Mars? It looks a bit thin for a spacewalk.
Apparently it's been tested and outs completely viable
Its
There was an article on the Stormer about it. Something like The Only Thing Elon Musk Ever Did Right
Looks more like a motorcycle suit lol
Hey barbarayan. Long time no see! Guess who I am.
Hint, I went to the barbecue in Dallas with John
