>>
>>62566570
If they're like US combat engineers you will train to do breaching missions, demolitions, and so on, in support of infantry and armor operations.
>>
>>62566981
so you get an engineer subunit like a platoon or company attached to a battalion or brigade etc to do large scale breaching ops, or smaller elements like platoons and squads attached in fireteam sizes to line inf units to give them breaching capabilities in urban combat etc, or they go to the front to place mines?
since 2reg is mountain inf will they still have breaching vics or is it all on foot?
>>
>>62567057
That's what US engineers generally do, yeah. Not sure if it's different for frogs, and since I'm not french I can't speak to more specific details of your unit.
Try lurking their social media pages if they have any, sometimes you can get an idea of what units are up to from their posts on there.
>>
>>62566570
You build FOBs, fortifications, bridges, carve out roads, provide utilities. Combat engineers are defensive units, you follow right behind the infantry, dig in.

pretty sure they use the same book with 48 different circles for every test. you would have to memorize all of the circles before meps.

>>62568599
what branch and mos are you gunning for?
>>
>>62568599
for reference :Color blindness will affect your job eligibility. The effect depends on which color vision tests you fail. You're given the PIP and Rabin CCT (FALANT replacement). Army also the takes the vivid red/green test.

Army, vivid red/green fail: 15P, 17C, 27D, 36B, 38B, 42A, 42R, 42S, 56M, 68G, 68H, 68W, 68X, 92A, 92M, 92S, 92Y, 94D

Add these if you pass vivid red/green: 11X, 12D, 12N, 13B, 13J, 13M, 18X, 31B, 31E, 31K, 68Y, 88H, 88M
>>
>>62568656
https://www.navycs.com/asvab-test.html shows requirements including subcategory score requirements. Most QMs I knew were pretty squared away, OS had some, but a lot of 'tards, too, so it can't be too hard.

I have 48 college credits and the navy recruiter is saying that should net me E2 but when I look it up sources say that should net me E3, how do I tactfully address this?
>>
>>62569778
You can ask nicely, but your online info may be old or your recruiter may have used up all his pushbutton E-3 tickets for the month. In the Navy, the difference between E-2 and E-3 was like 6 months and some workbooks and in any event the difference between E-2 and E-3 is tiny..

I got my ears pointed 3 years ago, they look like picrel. Will this disqualify me from enlisting in the us army?

I haven’t spoken with any recruiters yet since I’m finishing college first.

Army and Navy consider this as a form of body mutilation and it will require a waiver to be accepted. I have no idea about the Air Force or Marines.

Possibly, especially if you do a lot of CQ/fireguard shifts. You will also have tons of downtime in gold phase, which is basically just where you clean weapons and gear while waiting to graduate.
I read a shit ton at OSUT. If I remember correctly, I read Once an Eagle, On Killing, a history of Afghanistan, and a couple other shorter books in blue phase alone.

But I thought they didn't allow you to keep what you brought.

They generally don't, outside of maybe a personal Bible/Quran, but (depending on your specific cadre and cycle) you might get several chances to go to the Sand Hill PX and buy whatever books they have there, and you can also visit the B&N in Columbus during one of your pass days.

Should I stay in for another contract and then try to retire as an officer? Currently serving as an IT in the navy. I have 3 years left. The current plan is to get out but however it's not that well thought-out besides "oh the military fuckin sux". My dad is a retired officer but doesn't do much outside of home renovation and collecting retirement and disability checks. All my friends are civilian IT's or plan to be civilian IT's. I feel like without a job to get in on right out of separation I would be doing myself a disservice.

What's your plan to make officer? Which branch? Navy is only around 30% acceptance of OCS packets while Army hovers about 70%. Could do NROTC too.
Lot's of variables to consider. It's better for a career surely but how are you going to get there and do you even want a 20 year career
>>
>>62571951
I've got a few good school options atm, I'd probably stick with Navy and go Naval Academy. I'm not crazy about staying military. I'm at a point now where I'm really considering my options. I enlisted at 24 which is a little bit older than most.
>>
>>62572165
23 is the cap for West Point and Air Force academy
That makes it super easy to just put a packet in as any enlisted under that age and get to go for free
Idk shit about naval academy
I'd suggest you do something else though because naval officers work way harder than they should/need to compared to other branches. You're losing years off your life from the overwork and stress.
>>62571928
>I just realized how poorly I worded my post. I'm only on 1 year into my first contract. I'm still gonna need 16 years for that pension.
just get out with 100% and do something else is my advice
if you can't, maybe branch transfer do like 2 in another service and secure the 100% that way
job doesn't matter compared to the 50k tax free every year until you die

So is it essentially impossible to pass Delta Force selection without the use of steroids?

Canadabros, is it worth enlisting rn? I'm hearing that it's getting harder and harder to put on that uniform every day. It'd be easier to enlist in the Canadian military because I'm a citizen but I genuinely hate the eastern provinces and I want to know how bad it can get. Even if I join as a reservist, is it bad?

>question 2
If Canada is a bust I have a way of getting a US green card. Americabros, is it worth it to try and become a heli pilot? Do you still need to be a warrant officer to do that job? What other jobs don't suck entire ass? Should I aim for air force instead of going for army? Pls to respond sar.

Air Force guys are salty because every single one was tricked by a recruiter with their "list 10 jobs" system. Then they complain that the Air Force needs mechanics not 100,000 desk jockies, so they fall back on "Well my ASVAB score was high so I could have done something cool"

Yes, heli pilots have lots of fun. You don't need to be a warrant, but it is both easiest and most straightforward to become one via the Army's Street to Seat program for Warrant Flight.
You can try to fly for the Air Force or Navy instead as a commissioned officer, but it's more competitive.

I can't be an officer until I'm a full on citizen so the AF or navy paths seem less likely. I don't have my 4 year degree either but I can work on that while I'm in, I think. In the case of the air force, I'm not gonna be flying planes any time soon. Also, the idea of being on a confined metal box on the ocean, with a bunch of other guys, doesn't sit well with me. Not for gay reasons, but because I don't want to die trapped behind a bulkead or some shit like pearl harbour.
Bottom line, I want to do something that won't be total ass. I have a buddy in kind of an office position, who also did some other stuff, and he told me to stay away from the office sort of stuff because it's filled with immature motherfuckers who propagate high school bullshit. I just want to do something neat and have VA healthcare after.

Yeah
You should go ahead and talk to a recruiter about the street to seat warrant flight program then
Benefits are you do nothing but fly as your entire job, no paperwork desk jockey shit like every other pilot becomes in the 2nd half of their career
Downside is your pay is half as much at that ten year point as theirs

Guys i was planning to take (CTN) in the navy if i can qualify which supposedly was some cybersecurity role my question is i do have some experience programming but i have never dealed with ethical hacking so i get trained right ? i dont want to have problems because maybe what they are teaching is a crash course or something and needed prior knowledge

No, I don't like the 10 year active duty service obligation and think getting paid 75k a year isn't that great

They changed the pension % down and instead add an agency contribution to your TSP / 401K like every other company does
That 5% match will probably net you more money by retirement time.

>>62576108
No. The way it worked in the past was that you got 50% of your base pay on retirement as a pension (calculated off the 3 highest-earning years you had in the military, iirc). Now you earn 2% of your base pay in pension per year served, so once you're eligible to retire at 20 years, your pension will be 40%, while if you retire at 30 years you get 50%. The difference is made up by the TSP, which the government will match up to 5% of contributions from on the new retirement plan while only matching like 1% on the old plan.
It's better this way for people who DON'T do 20 years or more since their contributions to the TSP set them up better for retirement than someone under the old system who got shown the door at 16 years or something. However, because retards can't read fine print, certain people saw the change from 50% to 40% for pension pay and immediately turned around and cried about how Uncle Sam was taking away their retirement fund and bla bla bla.

Both sides were retards, but using the vehicle for that purpose isn't really a big deal imo. They should have just ignored the dude and carried on with their business.

Like out of all the corruption in the government, this dude is trying to pick a fight with a bunch drunk E-5s and E-6s for using probably $2.00 in gas. Dude needs to get a life.

>>62577555
Tsp was a mistake and the only way to really make it worthwhile is to put everything in a Roth and take it out after the amount earned has more than the taxed value.

I came in just as they start it and I couldn't change my plan off G, they also sent my pin to some randon house, thankfully I am lucky someone didn't steal all my money. I put in about 10,000 over a course of 4 years as an E3(I never got promoted, and left with a Top secret Good conduct, EPs and Mps except for C school since everyone gets P only, hoorah Navy) and only made a out 500 bucks, I think it didn't even cover the withdrawal tax, so essentially I paid to loan money to the government for literally nothing. I also paid 10% of my income to California and then wasn't reimbursed for supporting my family by DFAS. I was essentially starving while sleeping on the ship since I couldn't eat food, and at one point I was kicked off onto the streets because my command didn't do me paperwork to get a hotel or a room and I was too poor to do it myself. I wrote to the base and they set me up in a barracks for E4s.

I could have stay in and got BAH as an E4 but my career would have ended fue to how awful I was treated, I essentially walked out with nothing but an honorable and got 100% P%T plus PTSD 100%. They actually retaliated againt me by banning me from driving on bases after I reported several officers for abuse and still will not take it off despite nevee having own a vehicle on base. The Navy and most of the Dod can go fuck itself. They eill literally kill you just so they can fuck your wife.

1. How good/bad are Army officer careers right now? Are you subject to an insane amount of progressive of stuff and a brick wall of advancement to promote blacks and women instead or is it pretty much normal?

>>
>>62580861
1. Who cares, just keep your mouth shut and do your job without being racist or sexist and you'll be fine

2. No. I commissioned at 29. Age is just a number, and the only disadvantage is that you likely won't have enough time to make General before mandatory retirement ages creep up, but if you post here you were never getting a star anyway.

I want to switch from infantry to some other Army MOS, possibly something intel, after this contract is up
My retention NCO was no help at all, and from what I gathered I have to somehow ask the people in charge of the MOS itself what their requirements are and what they're willing to do

1. I care. It’s not up to you to tell me what to care about. You didn’t even answer the question, really. Also, what kind of army doesn’t allow you to be casually sexist and racist?

2. I don’t know why you idiots assume everyone here is some NEET loser. I’m pretty successful in my career so far and I know a few /pol/tards and /lit/erati who are wildly successful. This site is practically mainstream among millenials and zoomers. Anyway, that’s besides the point. What kind of tank can you realistically achieve if you’re good then? Colonel?

No it's not, but the fact that you wanna be an officer and your first concern is whether or not you can beacist/sexist and get away it instead of anything relating to leading soldiers is pretty concerning.

You won't be make general because most people can't (about .5% of all who commissionen make it), and the fact that you're posting here and asking whether or you not can be racist is already indicative of you not being general material. You can be an excellent officer and still not a pin a star if you don't know the right people and the right people don't know you.
>>
>>62581965
He's not worth the time or effort. He is just going to get screened out by his recruiter or give up when he finds out that commissioning isn't as easy as he led himself to believe. He will make up the excuse that he is already "pretty successful"
>>
>>62581979
Out of curiosity, did you post in that officer's club thread a couple days ago? I was thinking of making it a regular thing even if it's not a full fledged general like /meg/.

Also you can knock a year off the experience requirements with other certs or a bachelor's degree or something. And even if you still don't qualify as CISSP, Associate of ISC2 counted the same for DoD 8570 requirements. Not sure if it still does with 8140 desu.
After you pass it, the endorsement process includes a part where you explain how your previous experience relates to your chosen domains, so you (or ChatGPT) can just make that part really convincing if need be.

So I joined the DEP program because my recruiter wanted to get me to meps as soon as possible. Was going to join straight away next year after I got things settled and sold stuff, handle business. I've told them I don't want to leave till next year. but they keep trying to push the date to December and November. I know DEP is up to a year but why are they trying to send so soon, can they force me or can I tell them no I can't leave till then?

There's a couple different populations among military personnel who drive nice cars.
>officers
>SNCOs and LCpl/SPC types with terrifyingly high APRs
>PVT/PFC types with similar APRs but whose cars get repo'd a couple months after buying them
>dudes flush with deployment/bonus cash or with living situations that let them pocket tons of money
Weirdly enough, all the genuinely wealthy people I've known in the military drove total shitboxes.

>>62576108
Also note that pay bumps accrue for years after 20 (which is a short career by career standards) so if you like your job and location it's common to stay to high year of tenure and "homestead" (making more payments on your land using allowances and active pay instead of retirement pay). I did and having no mortgage is Very Fucking Nice.

>>62577910
Never join the Navy or Army or USMC. I was so warned by the many vets from many wars I grew up around and saw nothing to make me regret going AF for the career.

>>62578343
Those exist, but require integrity and effort. I had generally good to outstanding supervisors but part of that was working for/near aircrew who generally appreciate the effort. Every branch is its own world with smaller worlds within. One person may have an awesome career while their peer breaks everything they touch and makes their coworkers into enemies (and those coworkers can be ruthless in self-defense no matter your rank!) while another just has a chill unremarkable life.

>>62580715
Or Reserve.

>>62582411
Your desires and questions mark you as too dense even for most of the military. Fuck off and do something else, or if you must go pollute the Army.

>>62582560
Wisdom, because those questions require CURRENT, SPECIFIC experience.

>>62582607
>Kind of freaking out right now.

That means you're too emotionally weak to be an asset anywhere. These threads often consist of defectives who want a structured environment to save them from themselves and don't actually care about excelling while ethically dealing with their troops. Let shit in the door and it rises in rank then no one is happy. You don't NEED the armed forces so find something else to your liking.

>>62582607
You're fine, no one will care.

>>62583832
^Vet confirmed.

>>62584875
^Wisdom. Buying toys when you should be setting up your future is dumb, especially from lots near bases. There is another much smaller population who have nice toys. Those are technicians or similar at work who wrench for pleasure off-duty. (1.5 Harleys will fit in two wall lockers if partially disassembled and the room will pass inspection.)

>>62584862
That is The Way. My bro bought his house and his two roomdogs basically paid for it. I rented to various friends and it was all fun. Key is not advertising publicly so you purely rent word of mouth hence can pick and choose.

My cousin told me about a Lieutenant at Travis who bought a McLaren. Apparently the base was close to his parents' house so he just lived with them. Not sure if I should call him based or retarded, but fucking lmao either way

>i heard that the army sometimes does weight exceptions so i plan to check what the recruiter tells me
it's a specific program for people within 2% over of the BMI regulation which every service has to meet.
But yes go army they'll ship you faster than any other branch
Pick 35N, failing that any 35 series job
Failing that any 42 or 92 series, or any 68 series that isn't W
>>
>>62580962
>>62580999
For Army yes. Navy, Air Force, Space Force are 42. Coast Guard is 39. The Marines have successfully kept their age max under the radar, but it's now 42 since they are Dept. of Navy. My local OSO told me that it's 42, but "you better max out our PT"

How many of those cars were pickup trucks? I understand owning one is a mandatory condition of military service.

If you go intel, there's very few if any trucks. The two I knew were both 5' 2" dickheads, one of them an ex-cop and the other was so bad at his job he got kicked off the watch floor (a job where you literally show up and do nothing for 8-12 hours)

Hey guys, why not start learning now about where you're gonna be deployed right after boot camp? >>62582413

>>62588050
>if you join the US Army, you WILL deploy to Israel
Cool, so we'd be joining the winning team and steamrolling brownoids? What's the problem with that?

The problem is Russia running out of talking points.

No one is getting deployed there. Military service is, for the most part, uneventfully boring. If anything, we'll probably use drones.
>b-but muh "die for israel"
Nah. We'll launch missiles and drones. Maybe you can try and get people to feel scared of having drones destroyed? Idk. Currently the most dangerous part of a (relatively) peacetime military is preventable, off-base fuckery like DUIs, or self-inflicted dangers. Sorry if it hurts your narrative, but the vast majority of people who served in the military are gonna be just fine.
>>
>>62588626
What if I told you that Russia isn't here, but instead one very frustrated loser who got kicked out for having a loud mouth
>>
>>62588856
I'd believe it.
The schizo poster accidentally outed himself as being a USAF 3D1 at Keesler when he was desperately trying to prove that he knew what he was talking about.
It is funny how those types of people can be exploited so easily. They just can't fucking help themselves, they have to display their sense of superiority.

Not his fault. He picks up rank and is already sailing toward retirement age. Committed to his career. Now he's given a role and has to figure out how the fuck we're not going to get ass raped in the coming battles (probably scheduled by the elites over the finest caviar and lobster tails with live entertainment, maybe during those bali parties all the heckin' world leaders must go to because they totally represent us or whatever)

>allergic to shellfish
I really want to join the USAF, how over is it for me? I do get anaphylaxis, but I don't need an epi-pen
>>
>>62591317
If it’s a true shellfish allergy you are absolutely disqualified from USAF. Though, Army would be most willing to waiver it through most likely. MAYBE Navy.
>>
>>62591465
They want me to do an oral food challenge. How do I get through this? Benadrylmaxx?
>>
>>62591484
do immunotherapy and then come back
>>
>>62591484
You’re cooked, there is 0 chance you’re getting through this. If you value your health, and not embarrassing yourself by seizing up in some poor schmucks office, go Army and get a waiver for it. I’ve heard of it sameday but at most 1-2 months
>>
>>62591317
Just don't mention it, and avoid shellfish. I met a dude during OCS who was allergic to fucking tomatoes of all things and he was accommodated fairly easily.

Is this some inside joke? Neither of you answered my questions. I’ve noticed these threads only occasionally answer questions actually. About half of the questions are answered in a joking tongue in cheek fashion while another quarter aren’t answered at all. So why do these threads at all? I asked a realistic question about promotion for offers and you weirdos went off about racism and sexism. It’s actually funny how stupid this exchange was lmao.

So if anyone else is reading this, please let me know if there is anywhere else on the internet I can get my questions answered.
>>
>>62591317
An anaphylaxis reaction to anything is permanently disqualifying.
Even if Genesis wasn't a thing and you tried to hide it you'll get found out eventually since dfacs cross-contaminate all the time.
>>
>>62591773
NTA but your mindnumbingly retarded comment about promotions and women or some shit was probably why they are mocking you.

But to answer your question in good faith, early promotions (O-1 to O-3) are mostly a time in service thing, and happen automatically (do not get any DUIs during this time). O-4 is really when you are “graded” based on how well you’re doing your job aka a board decides your fate (O-4 is usually pretty easy to get unless you are comically shit at your job or you got an aforementioned DUI). Past O-4 is pretty branch specific (like what sort of qualifications you need) and I’m more well versed in Navy than Army.
>>
>>62591841
The first comment was made by the other guy you illiterate. He was the first person to mention racism and sexism. I merely replied with an obvious joke.

If you can’t even read or lack basic reading comprehension why should I put any stock at all in your question.

You guys are retarded, man. This is actually fucking dumb.

How bad of an idea is it to join the army as a tranny? I’m 27 and was planning on trying to enlist for aviation this year but my ex navy friend says I’ll probably get raped and that they might like flunk me out of flight school and demote me and stuff if leadership wasn’t cool with me
>>
>>62592012
The Army is fine with you being transgender, but you can only be recognized as male or female. If you haven't transitioned yet, and been cleared by a doctor you will be treated as your birth gender.
>>
>>62592069
Yeah I’m like legally trans that’s not the concern, my friends are convinced the people in the army will abuse me and stuff because I’m trans
>>
>>62592078
>my friends are convinced the people in the army will abuse me and stuff because I’m trans


It's possible that it may happen, but if it does just report it to your unit EO representative. Ultimately, bigots are gonna bigots, but for the most part people will keep that shit to themselves because they know how quickly they could end up in hot water over it.
>>
>>62592078
>Yeah I’m like legally trans that’s not the concern, my friends are convinced the people in the army will abuse me and stuff because I’m trans
No
Just like real life though everyone will know and hate you because you're a freak of nature
Lots of opportunities to get fucked though, which, knowing your proclivities is a huge pro! Either join or don't your identity is totally irrelevant

We will. Don't join.

This is how people convince others to share their viewpoint
People who are cowed into not sharing their viewpoints have viewpoints doomed to die out

Nobody cares man

you'll be fine, the sexual assault rate was its highest in FY2021 (~8%) which means the Army will be cracking down incredibly hard on assault within the branch--the next reports will be markedly lower.

I'd be more worried about making airborne, or even getting through bootcamp. People really like to get carried away before they even make it in.
>>
>>62592420
Oh I don’t want to do airborn, I wanna do aviation and fly helicopters lol. It’s why I’m finishing my school first.
>>
>>62592455
Oh if you're going officer cut the assault rate by more then half. You have less to worry about. Mind if I ask why Army Aviation over Navy?
>>
>>62592476
That's good to hear and kinda makes sense
I want to fly helicopters and I don't really want to be stuck on a boat. Also the stuff army pilots do just seems more interesting?
