Congrats they can now fill up their gas tank by a quarter
thats strange cuz i eat one every day and i am fine its 2 and a half years of eating them
way to spit in the military’s face
For Kitchen gadgets; the PX is fantastic. I love price matching. I never need to pay full price stateside.
Only what I could wear to the airport.
I sure hope the drill sergeant was reprimanded for his language and hostile behavior.
If you are married and receive BAS, can you still go to mess Hall and eat for free?
No. You will have to pay to eat in there.
I spent 7 years with the 101st airborne division ( 187th infantry ) and a year in Korea at Camp Casey, got out in 1998. The year in korea was in the middle, my time with the 187th ( part of the 101st ) was with 2nd battalian C company and 1st battalian C company when I returned from Korea. My last deployment with the 101st was operation Desert eagle in Daharan Saudi Arabia after bin laden destroyed Khobar Tower with a truck bomb. I got to keep one of the desert uniforms they issued us for Saudi and both pairs of desert boots. Plus all my normal uniforms, boots, gloves. And the duffle bag, we got to keep that. Me and alot of the guys in my unit had lots of extra equipment that we bought at the local flea market or pawn shop or from guys that were getting out and heading home. Ruck sack, load bearing vest, canteens and canteen pouches, ammo pouches and at the time we still wore the load bearing straps attached to a utility belt for parades and stuff. Lots of guys bought cheap uniforms and socks because you would destroy them out in the field. You could get a decent looking uniform pants and blouse for as little as 5$ and for 10$ you might get one that was freshly pressed. There were so many available I could find one with almost all the correct patches sgt strips, expert infantrymans badge, air assault wings and the screaming eagle patch... for training, lots of us would use shoe goo or fabric glue to just glue on an old nametag. I would get home wearing a uniform that smelled like a dead body, was held together by 100 mile an hour tape and sometimes stitched back together. I would undress on the back porch and just toss it in the garbage. We might save on crappy uniform for work details like if we were painting, mowing grass or something dirty. When I got out I kept 2 sets of summer weight BDUs, my Class a uniform, my jump boots and two pairs of green jungle boots ( my favorite ) I had one of the small ruck sacks from a flea market( infantry units only use the huge ones ) and I kept a poncho liner ( the best blanket ever invented )... I also kept a full load bearng straps and belt with canteens ammo pouch, 1st aid pouch and a few M249 Squad automatic weapon ( saw ) pouches and my butt pack... Stuff I used for camping. And a woodland camo goretex jacket that I snagged when a guy went AWOL. The gear they have now is soooo much better. Comfortable boots that are like sneakers, uniforms with velcro pockets, MOLLE gear... I moved to Thailand last year... I have my class A uniform jacket and some unit patches I plan on putting in a display... nothing else.
First of all, why do people think they should be rich serving in the Military? Obviously it isn’t meant for that. You want to get rich you’ll need to find a side hustle and become rich. I’m 19 years old about to visit a recruiter for an Air Force position and been working out lately for basic training. I know military ain’t gonna make me rich but it’ll provide enough money for my pockets and a place to live and with the tiny money they give me I’ll invest it in buying assets such as getting your damn car and house whilst working your butt off to get there. I’m joining mainly for the experience and hardship because although the military pay isn’t very good, their training is something that is basically priceless! I’m excited and America’s younger generation can rise if they stop focusing on money all the time!
Honestly, why not just spit in my face? Why not? Thats what an extra 20 a month feels like.
I am so glad I found your channel it’s very informative. My son graduates basic Army next month he is on blue phase. He is single no kids so I wanted to know what is going to happen next! New subscriber!
zup! i hope get an answer😅 so’ the B.A.H about that, if i have kids she won’t (my “wife”)to be with me or move or whatever, but she want me bring the kids with me, how that is gonna works?? still getting the B.H.A? thanks!
I was Mortuary Affairs and would never trade it for anything in this world
COME ON BE A MAN ! JOIN UP ...
Basically, you get to keep what you were issued in reception or basic training, except sensitive items like you mentioned. And there are always pawn or surplus stores off base that have a variety of things you might want. I wanted to keep the extreme cold weather flight gear until I found out how much the army was going to charge me for it. Btw I got out in 1984
After 10 years and turning into cif to clear I was only missing a canteen and a acu pattern ach cover. I was lucky haha 😅I cleaned the hell outta it for a week prior though. It was acu draw, ocp draw and 2 rfi draws so it was a lot of crap to turn in.
it’s 91e a low density mos
SAPPER. where is it?
It took me 18 months to go from Pvt nothing to E-4.
My son only has two weeks before BCT because it took a long time to prove that he didn’t have asthma, after meeting the recruiter in may. I’m really concerned if he’s going to be able to get through it even though he’s been trying to run and get ready for about two weeks I don’t want my son to be sent home after all, he’s accomplished so far Will someone advise me?
20$ is pretty insulting to be honest. Aren’t immigrants right now getting free hotels and thousands in food stamps?
What a slap in the face to those who serve. We can’t even pay enough for our ppl, but we can fund the immigrants for free 😢
There is no positive side 😭
me using on kids walkie talkie
I wish they had a video back then but unfortunately we didn't have an internet or cell phones ,we did have a windup radio tho
I was there from SEP 01-02. Great first duty station. Drove CSM Gogue, used to PT and do BJJ with MAJ Andersen and even got to spend about a month in the Scout platoon. Drove Secret Service around before and during POTUS 43 visit. Good times. PCSed to Hood from the JSA and went to Iraq with 4ID. 2 of the guys in my mortar platoon came from Greaves. My JSA PCS plaque and armband are hanging up in my local American Legion Post and my belt buckle is in a drawer around here somewhere. In Front of Them All!
I thought 11b didn't have spec rank
E-4 91A combat medic Camp Edwards S. Korea with pov tactical
There was no Velcro we had pin ons and the rank was sewn on your bdu's
88m is a driver?
I want the 19.5% pay hike. They can keep the 20 dollars. What a joke.
Wish it was an extra $20 an hour
hey Chris how exactly does stolen valor happen? My take would be that the offenders are wasting their $$ to pretend being a member of the armed forces.
Chow ain't' free, it is "included"
Moved off base kept barracks room had 2 roommates F the Navy.
Can I enslist with hyperhydrosis?
19D's a lot cooler job than 11B's, just saying 😉
$20 is just insulting lol also who the hell agreed with $20? 😂
Think about the tax dollars that went into that decision and it's not even worth it. Either pay better or dont but definitely dont waste money saying "Here, have a starbucks amd keep up the good work..."
I get a 3000 bonus every six months from my job at Costco just to be a cashier
My dad is in the Air National Guard and he was stationed in Iraq after 9/11 and he kept a bullet from an A10’s mini gun and kept it in his foot locker
For the continental 48 states, Hood and Bliss were at the bottom along with Sill, Leonard Wood and Polk when I was serving in the late 70s and early 80s. Eustis, Hunter AAF, Carson and Lewis were usually most requested from what I can remember that long ago.
Remember that 1996 1/50
they should create a war time pay increase or you know maybe have something called hazardous duty pay idk......................
I ship out august 26th 😀
Bad move
Oh cool theyre gonna take almost a quarter of my microscopic bonus that was passed for political reasons and give it to paper pushers working for useless federal agencies. The good news is the muzzle of the rifle i was issued is within arm's reach of the trigger.
Why didn't you just stay nine more years and get a pension? Smh
They really do hate us
