Nice man
Tricare is very weirdp#
Once I’m 21 I think I have to get Tricare young adult
And that expires once I’m 26
I have to pay for Tricare young adult because I’m not a full time student
I was looking at active reserves, (babysitting the reserve Marines) but ehh, if going active, might aswell do regular active.
My sister is covered under my mom still because she’s a full time student
I’d say do your full 4 year enlistment then go reserves.
The only other benefits you can obtain will come once you reach 20
Without pension there’s no fucking point
Yeah, alot of people do Marines for 4 years, then jump over to another branch.
I’m so pissed there’s no pension
I literally want to become president so I can put everything back the way it was.
Hang the fucker who decided to get rid of pension
Your 20 years stack, so if you did 10 Army and 10 Navy, it counts as 20.
Yeah
I wouldn’t wanna swap though
Unless I find out I’m extremely sea sick or something lmao
My roommate did 6 Navy, and 14 Army
Swapping like that is hard
I know army and marines because they’re basically the same. But Air Force and navy/ coast guard have me confused time to time. I know a little more Air Force though
Yeah, you usually only get dropped down 1 rank equivalent, or if you get a waiver, you get to keep your rank and become the equivalent.
The one thing I really hate about the army is that their ranks are Velcro
I prefer real ranks like the marines
The officer ranks on the army’s uniform is very hard to see because of the god damn camo. Where as a marines shiny ass metal bar sticks out and you know straight away
Lol, Velcro is ass, it's convenient, but after washing repeatedly, and in rough terrain, it is useless garbage, need to bring back buttons and straps.
Yeah no such thing as needing to measure your ranks
There’s a tiny box and you slap that shit right on
Navy is kinda the same but they sew their shit
I itleast prefer officer ranks to be actually metal like the marines. It’s hard telling the difference
Angry Vet (now he is called angry cop) would rant about his hatred for Velcro and how he has gotten in trouble multiple times for losing his unit and rank patches while doing exercises in the woods and training.
Lmao
“The army doesn’t make mistakes”
>Adopts velcro and that moon camo
I like the new camo, it's nice, but we need less baggy and we need to bring back buttons and straps.
Straps?
Buttons yes, straps no.
I mean straps for bags and gear
