Woof Blitzer posted:I've worked with retirees many times before and spending 20 years in the service made them retards... or maybe they already were that way when they enlisted. Makes you think I don't understand the retired guys you see working as shopping cart attendants at the PX/NEX or other menial jobs. How the gently caress does someone spend 20 years in the military without accidentally becoming at least slightly more employable.

I always bought stuff off college ROTC students coming back from LCAC or whatever the gently caress you guys call OCS.

I imagine it's largely the same as it ever was, only more dumb Yeah I bounce between Johnson and Geiger a lot right now, Geiger is infantry boots and Johnson is POG boots. SOI seems to be less trash than Johnson facilities wise at least. I swear Johnson hasnt been renovated since the Montford marines used it.

We collected at least a thousand unspent rounds from ~200 Navy FMTB students accidentally ejecting them during range day.

One time at the MCX some dork yelled at me for wearing sandals, I told him to gently caress off, he called me a f*g. Then he hosed off. That’s my Marine story.

I don’t think it’s possible to get a perfect line score. You can get a 99, which placed you in the top percentile relative to whenever it was most recently adjusted, which isn’t as hard as you would think if you’re blessed with above average intelligence and fresh out of college since your competing with a bunch of people dumb enough to join the military. The real test is signing that contact at the end of the day though. Which I failed. FTN

When I was with the Marines yeah it was a new CIF issue for every unit but I only was with the Marines one time. For whatever reason the ergonomics of the M4 lower rubs my finger loving raw. I don’t have this problem with my AR’s grip at all.

Hekk posted:All of MCI West facilities maintenance budgets were slashed 90% the last 3 years to fund things like flying concrete barriers from the east coast to Los Angeles and trucking them down to the Mexico border for reinforcement (I promise that’s a real thing that we really spent money on). East coast might be in a similar situation where nothing is getting funded because the money is being used for grift elsewhere. Yeah didn’t the old Commandant get on Trump before he left blaming him for exactly that? In any case it seems like the USMC from an outside observers position as a Corpsman started purging everyone and everything good during the “awakening” and as a result tanked hard a few years later to the point everything is rotten.

The military is your one shot at (assuming you’re not actually too broke to work again) effectively UBI via disability and free healthcare in the US and this idiot is throwing that away.

For a while the Navy was sending almost everyone who failed any A School (MOS school) undesignated, basically a two year “apprenticeship” where you just do bitch work. Linguist school, nuke school, cyber and SOF schools SEAL/SWCC/Diver are all A schools, so undesignated sailors were either too stupid or immature to get through their entry level training or older super overqualified types who dropped from the hardest schools in the military with no in between. Being undesignated is also a powerful motivator to do anything possible to get out of the military since it basically torpedoes your ability to do anything besides be miserable with no end in sight for a minimum of two years, since you cannot promote, go to any more advanced training, and unless you’re at a very good command generally receive a generic copy pasted evaluation. In turn, this makes it then very difficult to do stuff like commissioning programs for the many enlisted with a college degree types who go to those more advanced schools. Since Navy programs are all about evaluations and command involvement, it’s a bit of an issue since the command won’t “waste” the limited number of good evals they can give on them and they’re generally barred from all that command involvement that are de facto required to look good enough on paper. Now to the Navy’s personal system they transformed some profesional type who wanted to give it up to be a SEAL or CTN to identical as the dipshit that got kicked out of Corpsman school for trying to stick his dick in the EKG. It’s an amazing system, very good to see the USMC has its own way to shoot itself and it’s people in the foot repeatedly too.

At least when I was living the life it was a 2 year minimum to strike for a rate that had an A school, which is basically all desirable ones. This meant basically that by the time you graduate from A school and are eligible for promotion if anything went wrong like even a minor NJP you were set to be HYTed automatically. And at least during the time period I was in during the end of the recession it wasn’t common for A school drops to get a second chance though it did happen. I certainly didn’t. I think that changed right when I was striking where they finally changed it to one year when finally some admiral realized why a bunch of E3s were getting HYTed out. My own experience may be different because I spent my entire deck time on a very broken ship in a multi year yard period with what was at best a below average triad. So we did nothing besides poo poo/busy work and qualified on nothing. Googling it seems like it’s now much less hosed. Still pretty hosed but I think regulations have significantly shorted the time people have to spend and they get automatic promotion into their rate so they can keep up.
