anon there's like 130 posts left in the other thread
>>65386435The other thread will not bump. Mods autosaged it due to Robert's biggest melty (so far)
Are you retards going to keep engaging with one troll, or is this a troll self replying?
>>65387398When nobody else gives him (You)'s, he really does respond to himself. Some 37A has been tormenting the poor troll for recreational fun for years. Seeing the state of the guy nowadays has me convinced that psy ops is no fucking joke.
How in depth is the Secret security clearance? I've skimmed the SF86 form, and it seems like you just have to prove what you've been up to and where you've lived for the last ten years. What happens if you get denied? Do you get to go home, or are you stuck in a "needs of the military" job?
>>65387473Depends on the branch, but you may end up redesignating to a role that only requires a secret clearance. If you don't qualify for a secret, you're fucked, but the only people I've seen not qualify had some strong connection to China.
>>65387473EZPZ, don't be a terrorist or try to hide obvious shit like criminal background or debt and disclose anything that could seem sketchy (like foreign contacts). If you're worried about the one time you smoked weed in high school or whatever just be honest, they won't give a shit.You have to be eligible for a Secret or you basically can't be in the military anymore. Is there any reason you think you wouldn't be able to get one?
>>65387775Do not mention smoking weed. They cannot prove this.
>>65386364How can I make sure I'll be the guy flying the drones instead of the guy dodging the drones?
>>65388280Don't enlist in the Russian military
>>65387483>>65387775Okay, thanks. I figured being a NEET for the last ten years (no W2s) with zero credit history would be something they want to verify that would be difficult to do so.
>>65388527It certainly simplifies the investigation
>>65387483Wait was I supposed to get a clearance forum back in Basic? Would having friends in Russia be a problem?
>>65387473is this the form you sign during the recruitment process with your recruiter or is this a seperate one you sign after officially enlisting?
Threadly postHPSP anon here. Feel free to ask questions about medical school through the military. Pretty similar for dental/vet. Will help how I can.Also willing to interpret medical DQ questions. Post diagnosis, age at diagnosis, are you still on meds, and branch. I am not a MEPS doctor. I will not give medical advice, as you are not my patient and I have no physical exam/labs/etc. Plus you don't know that I'm a doctor so you shouldn't take medical advice on the internet anyways. If this post wasn't made on a Monday then it wasn't updated and wasn't a real mildoc>what do you do for the military?Medical doctor, in residency.
Are there any people doing combat related NG or Reserve service while also doing some desk jockey civilian role or is that nigh impossible to balance?
>>65389239>he thinks anybody is going to believe that every single post deleted in the last thread was made by a completely unique and different personThe real story is this - Robert has become such a lolcow that even the mods join in on bullying him for fun. He really thinks offering his back for more lashes is going to somehow help his cause, which is the permanent ban of /meg/ from /k/. The mods have already declared /meg/ is on-topic, so Robert will literally never win.
>>65389218>Robert thinks he's Tony SopranoUsing jpegs to feel like you are committing violence on those who are psychologically torturing you is hilarious. You claim it's just one person, but also somehow multiple people, yet also the entirety of the US military behind this. Your inability to even acquire a target after 6 years is proof of your impotence. This only ends one way for you, numbnuts.
>>65389356And I assume you will conveniently be the only person here and Robert somehow magically disappeared and never returned? Funny, the same thing was said about the guy who was obsessed with Dirlewanger (who we now call Robert). Are you trying to convince us that two separate trolls were buckbroken and now you want to be the third? Robert can't give up, which is why we torture him. It's like dangling a bag of crack in front of a junkie.
>>65387775My background is a mess but I'm not a criminal. I actually have tons of critical infrastructure work going for me so maybe I shouldn't be nervous.
>>65389388It's truly not difficult to pass if you are a regular joe. Like I said, the biggest issues that a candidate will encounter during a background check will be any foreign connections, particularly nations that are not allied with us. The other big bummers would be significant debt, criminal history, and drug (ab)use.
>>65389405what about working under the table
>>65390935READ the fucking sf86 holy shit
Piss
>>65392232https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMfMELK4bjc
>>65393005Do deleted posts still bump the thread?
>>65393372Right about what? Wouldn't there be tons of posts if this general was being astroturfed? Wouldn't Robert be constantly and instantly banned if a military recruiter held a moderator position? Wouldn't the leaks last year have evidence of this recruiter being a mod? Robert is just a faggot who got trolled again and is now going full retard because somebody lied to him in a way that appealed to his gullibility.
I started running a lot in preparation and now I'm getting knee pain. I ran 20 minutes today and it made me limp after for an hour.. What to do? I feel like telling the recruiter isn't a good idea. Will doctors narc on me if I go in to see what's happening to my knee?
>>65393826>I ran 20 minutes today and it made me limp after for an hour.Oh bud, do i have a little blue pill for you!
>>65393826What shoes are you running on? Are they running shoes or some other kind of shoe? How old are they and how much have you run in them? What pace are you running? Are you just sore or getting sharp pains?
>>65393847>What shoes are you running on? Are they running shoes or some other kind of shoe? How old are they and how much have you run in them?Just regular shoes. I only have one pair.>What pace are you running?I am very unfit so very slow.>Are you just sore or getting sharp pains?Sharp pains in only one of my knees so it's definitely not just a soreness issue. I just want to know if I can go to the doctor about this
>Me trying to explain to the medical records lady at the VA hospital that MEPS can now see your medical history, and yes, I know they were unable to do this a few years ago BECAUSE THAT'S HOW IT WORKED (or didn't work, lol) WHEN I INITIALLY ENLISTED, NOW IT'S CHANGED, STOP TRYING TO TELL ME ABOUT MY HIPAA RIGHTS Also holy hell reenlisting is a pain in the ass. I'm just trying to do my chill POG job in the Reserve, they're acting like I'm 50 years old trying to join the Navy SEALs. I'm still in IRR, they can forcibly call me back to active duty if they want, but they're making me jump through hoops to voluntarily do some weekend warrior shit, I'M GOING INSANE. Thank you for reading my blog post.
What a shit weekend.
>>65393980Slow your roll. If you get injured you won't exercise at all. Dial it back, do some walking days in-between. Better to do something than nothing
Haven't really posted in years but currently USAF/ANG pilot stud here in UPT. I will check the thread periodically if anyone has questions.
>>65395388Are age waivers for pilot programs super rare?
>>65395388For AD forget it. For guard/reserve hit or miss. With the higher optempo these days I can foresee more internal hires getting them but still a tall ask for an off the street applicant.
>>65395534Ahh, I understand. Thanks. I probably wouldn't have a very competitive packet anyway.
>>65395549How old are you?
>>65395583I just turned 33. From what I understand, you need to be seen by the panel before your 33rd birthday. I never really considered being a pilot was something I could even be capable of until recently when I was reading about aircrew jobs like loadmaster in the Air Force or maintainers becoming crew chiefs in the Army, and that's when I saw the age limit.
>>65395623Yeah, you’d need to find a unit that really liked you and that in itself would take over a year if not more.You could still go the enlisted aircrew path. People that I know that were booms or loads in the guard absolutely loved it.If you have a degree you could go the RPA pilot route where age limit is 40. They are rated officers just like pilots.
>>65395651>People that I know that were booms or loads in the guard absolutely loved it.>If you have a degree you could go the RPA pilot route where age limit is 40. They are rated officers just like pilots.That's awesome; I had no idea about that. I'm situated right in between an AG and ARG base, and there's another AG base that has MQ9s a bit further away. Thanks, big dawg. I appreciate it.Also, there's a ton of Space Force housing here, and I have no idea where those guys are commuting too. That housing would only be for families, I assume.
>>65395672Make them tell you no is the mantra you need to live by to get into some of those spots. Never self eliminate.
>>65395705Roger that o7>Never self eliminate.Thanks, anon.
>>65386364Back at it, answering questions. >7 years TIS BTW
>>65395767>ETNCsheeeeeeeit so you're gonna do the full 20?
>>65395388From what I understand, the typical career pathway of an Air Force pilot is >Join the Air Force to get paid training to be an airline pilot >Suffer through ~10 year ADSC >Look for any opportunity to cut their service obligation short >Jump over to the airlines (sometimes also joining the Reserve to get military retirement) >Make significantly more money while dealing with significantly less bullshit But I imagine a Guard or Reserve pilot can get through their training pipeline, go on active orders to accumulate flight hours or whatever while applying for the airlines, and then switch to the minimum one weekend a month, two weeks a year (outside of deployments and shit) once they get a job offer. And being an officer chad, you'd probably be able to work out some sweet IMA (or Guard equivalent) scheduling deal. Basically getting to the promised land years early. Obviously I'm not an Air Force pilot so I don't know how accurate my assumptions are, but to me this sounds like signing up to be an Air Guard/Reserve pilot is simply better than active duty unless you're planning on doing 20 years active duty. What's the catch?
>>65396129You’re not far off but it’s not as much of a short cut as people think it is. Yeah maybe in 2021-2022 you could have done training, seasoning orders, grind till military ATP mins and get hired by a 121. These days you aren’t getting hired with 750. But if you grind hard in the guard you can be in the airlines at year 5 rather than year 10. The catch is all the guard commitments (it’s def more than a weekend a month, 2 weeks in the summer, but saavy pilots can make it make more convenient). All the old timers that are mainline pilots love to bitch how they are losing money every time they are at the unit. They are right especially since mainline CA at Delta can earn hundreds of dollars per hour.Another thing is that a significant majority of AD pilots are Academy grads that didn’t plan on becoming pilots, it’s just something that happened to them. It’s absurd but it’s true. The amount of Academy grads I meet that never heard of the Guard or just wanted to play sports in college is astounding.
Bad Runner here. Got my first AFT in about... Oh, twenty minutes or so. I couldn't take it before because, apparently, there was a queue for classes and people way ahead of me. If I pass this, I'll phase up!
>>65396655... Aaand I failed. 20:32. Damnit. All this DFAC food has been my undoing. But that's fine. I'll just run on the weekend with my annoying roommate. They want you to pass, and will give you AFTs until you do. You can't actually graduate until you pass one. Least it was just the run. Everything else? Fine and dandy.
>>65396930Get ready to be a holdover. Unless they juat pencil whip you.
>>65396930What's your MOS again?Just keep running, your times will drop as long as you're consistent.
how does this make any sense? who the fuck is doing 70 situps and 65 pushups in 1 minute? even special operations guys get 2 minutes
>>65397836>Liberator>Thunderbolt>WarhawkI like the names
>>65397836That's a 5:57 mile for warhawk. Doable but average dude is going to need a lot of workup to get there.
>>65397640>>6539734894F. We started class, and I have about nineteen weeks to get it done. I can shave a minute off, surely.
Occasional reminder that tuition assistance (sorry Navy! LMAO) is use it or lose it, so make sure you use it. Hell, major in art history for all I care. >b-but the GI Bill only co- The GI Bill is COMPLETELY SEPARATE from military tuition assistance!
>>65400214Can confirm. Use this while you have it. Make sure you also know who your EO rep is incase your leadership tries to pull some BS on you or makes up an excuse for why "you cant do it." My ending unit pulled some bullshit like that on me. Ex;>you cant do csp because it isn't fair your battle buddies on the rotation can't do it because you're stateside while they're in europe!Sup, meg. Just passing though on my way to the AR general. Godspeed!
>>65400929>AR generalYou can't just leave us hanging, 92G. You building or buying anything?
Considering joining the Coast Guard specifically to join the Deployable Specialized Forces (DSF). What does the recruitment process look like for this specific role and should I consider other, similar roles in other branches?
>>65395969We'll see. Contracted out to 12 now.>>65397836What age bracket is this? Is it service specific?
>>65401202>What age bracket is this? Is it service specific?air force boot camp, i think the age range is 17-29
>>65401164I'm still undecided. I reached out to a guy I used to work for back east before I joined the army (he owns an ffl) but he was out of the office today. Just popped by arg to see if their were any cool ideas. I'm looking into either have him build me something, or just seeing what he has in inventory. With the NFA possibility going away I've been looking at making a mk18 / colt commando style ar like the ones in the Blackhawk down movie just for a fun range toy. I'm really jazzed up for when SNT finally releases their K2s and K2c. Wanted one of those since I was too young to even buy guns. Seeing them in korea with the ROK soldiers just made me want one even more.
>>65400929Why didn't you go to EO and report that?
