Before you ask a question, check the FAQ
http://pastebin.com/Rx0nDuga
Which branch are you enlisting/enlisted/considering?
http://strawpoll.me/6764857
Ask questions, get advice from retards on how to lie on the poly, bitch about recruiters, accuse each other of stolen valor, just keep it in this general.
First for why would you join any branch outside the Army.

Wasn't it incredibly obvious that I dislike the army since I responded to your initial post? Who wouldn't dislike an institution packed with retards sucking up tax money?
Man, you're dim. Please do yourself a favor and stay in.

It's okay to dislike the only actual military branch, anon.

>>29979733
>11c
11b/11c = same shit any way
>>29979733
I am >>29979733 and I work with 11C in the field. It is just that people find this to be an unfortunate MOS because it is not the "image" of the infantry. These guys are a vital part of the infantry unit, the first thing you do when you lay down in a BP is make a range card so that mortars can be directed easily. A lot of people end up carrying mortars whether they're 11C or 11B. In mech units you will shoot some big ass fucking mortars from the back of a vehicle. They haul their mortar tubes and plates wherever they go. The mortar is the weapon of an 11C. The Rifle / Machine gun is the weapon of an 11B.

>>29980741
It's basically college. The biggest problem in all of the heavily academic military schools is that people can't stop getting drunk and fucking eachother long enough to buckle down and study. In college, that means you fail some classes. In military training, that means you aren't getting the job you wanted anymore.

>>29981725
Im saying if you want to get infantry than go infantry ignore people telling you not to. You need to make the decision on your own so you are held responsible for whether you love it or hate it.
>>29981736
I agree but man are they hard to find, in my 4 years in the navy i may have met only a single chick in that 1%. She wasnt even on my ship, i met her at taps and she was both beautiful and smart but was also a born again christian which is a huge turnoff for me. Literally every other girl i met while in was human garbage. Dumb ugly and insanely lazy and entitled.

Lad t you have any idea how easily that can get you ion trouble. They can catch feelings for you and lie and cry and say you raped them just like that. Multiple people got caught on my ship fooling around underway and all got busted down. It aint worth it. Way better off playing it safe and finding a civ girl. Its just as easy, San Diego is filled with hot sluts and when we deployed getting it in asian countries is just as easy.

No. Debt is only really an issue if you aren't paying it, or it is obviously irresponsible (like tens of thousands in credit card debt, or payday loans).
>>29981957
I dont think so cause almost everyone has student loan debt.

Im not saying it is never worth it just saying you better be real smart about it man. Remember when i was at A school some whore got drunk and fucked 3 dudes at once. Woke up and obviously regretted it and said they raped her. All 3 got kicked out if i remember correctly. But even if charges get dismissed its best to avoid all that anyway.
>>29982352
well shit
>>29982373
Bro im telling you right now you have no idea how come this shit is. Talk to anyone whose been in the military recently. So many women scam the system its insane.
My recruiter is being dodgy as fuck, so maybe you guys can help. I want to join Delta Unit after spending sometime in the Rangers. Unfortunately, they dont have an official PFT standard to hit. How in shape should i be before signing up? I can already pass for Rangers, is that enough? Or should I aim for a 300 or so on my PFT?
All women in the military are as IVAN described years ago to me "WELL INTO WHICH MONEY AND SEMEN IS FLOW"
Being in the army I see this shit pretty often too. Disgusting, and they SMELL. Especially in the field and even after showers they wreak. I was listening to a drill Sgt complain about it. Plus they fuck multiple dudes on the regular.
>>29982426
>want to join delta unit
Right off the back I'm predicting an 80gt score, boys.
Why don't you spend, gee I don't know a fucking week in the army before you decide some shit like that? Fucking enlist 11X and it will come your way WHEN YOU EARN IT.

I assumed this was something you had to ask for when you signed up. Im not baiting, im not in the military yet, so I really dont know. Do you have the answer though? Id really like to be prepared.
>>29982230
I don't know that's assuming. You sound like a faggot.
>>29982501
I cant even believe im responding to this. Lad you gotta be a ranger for 5+ years id say before you should even imagine doing something like that. You cant just go in and do it.
>>29982521
Well I knew that, but I still have no idea what the standard even is. I understand that its a super low chance of getting in, but it would be higher if i even knew what i was fucking aiming for.

>>29982733
Thats a whole lot of assumptions in one post. Youre assuming that im just "playing" operator. Obviously if ive already gotten to the point of being able to pass a Ranger PFT, and ive already tried to talk to my recruiter about it, im at least somewhat serious. Even if I wasnt, was it really worth your time to shit all over my post and not just answer the damn question? Its alright if you dont know the answer, but you dont have to be a dick about it. The whole purpose of this thread is to ask people in the military questions about the military. Why is anyone of these questions more valid then mine?

My entire question was about the fitness aspect, not the rest of it. That tells me literally nothing. How long am I supposed to run for? How quickly? How many push ups? How many sit ups? Ect... See what im getting at here? All I wanted was some specifics, but for some reason, im "playing operator" and i "need to go home kiddo".

How the fuck am I supposed to know? There are plenty of vets on here, is it really that hard to believe that there are one or two guys on here like that? Heres a better question, what kind of autism do you have that gives you the urge to be an insufferable dick, rather then just leaving a post alone? Did my post really facilitate this response? If you dont know the answer, thats fine, but you dont have to do all of this just for me, all though I am flattered.

It's fucking hard.
There's not really any such thing as an easy language, because you have less time to master the easier language due to a shorter course. Sure, it's better at the beginning because you aren't learning a new alphabet or some nonsense, but at the end of the course a person with 18 months of speaking a language is obviously going to be more fluent than a person with 6 months.

>trades better in the Navy
How in the world do you figure that? There are more opportunities to actually do most trades in the Army, and a wider variety of them to begin with.
>>29983672
>How in the world do you figure that? There are more opportunities to actually do most trades in the Army, and a wider variety of them to begin with.
100% untrue. The navy still deploys constantly which means all their equip-ment still breaks. You will get way more experience working in the navy on a trade than in any other branch. And as far as the more variety part that aint true either. The army just breaks down one job into 5 and calls them all something different. The navy doesnt do that.
What branch is best for a directionless college dropout in his mid 20's?
I was a high academic achiever with math and language skills, although I would prefer a position that wouldn't depend on them too much.
>>29983704
You're going to try to tell me that the Navy has better carpentry opportunities? More horizontal construction engineering opportunities? More plumbers?
Can you back this up?
Also, last time I checked, you can't guarantee you'll even get to do those jobs when you sign with the Navy.
>>29983720
Man it depends what you want to do. What job/MOS/rate you get is more important id say even than what branch you join. Decide what you wanna do first then figure out which branch is best.
>>29983741
>you can't guarantee you'll even get to do those jobs when you sign with the Navy.
Wtf yes you can. What does that even mean?
And I can definitely tell you if you want to fix aircraft, work on engines and welding then absolutely 100% yes. Who do you think keeps ships running? Keeps the helos on board flying? Plus all the aircraft on carriers. Then i could talk about all the ITs working while underway and at shore, all the ETs doing the same as well as all the crypto guys. Lad maybe while we were at war the army stood a chance but now the the army isnt deploying and the navy still does you cant even compare the 2.
>>29983744
>Decide what you wanna do first
I think that's the biggest hurdle. I'd be fine with any position that is tedious but doesn't require me think so hard.
I think welding or mechanic seems nice, if those are actual positions. I really have no idea at all what's available. Do you even get a choice what you do? I thought those aptitude tests sort of decide what you do.
>>29983768
So you can lock in your job now before joining? You couldn't a decade ago. That's actually pretty sweet.
You seemed to ignore my examples. There are a TON of trades that the army simply has more opportunities in. Aviation and welding? I'll give you those two. I'd also argue the Navy wins for electricians. That said, I can list ~30 other trades where the Army is the clear winner.
You're jumping into IT and crypto now. That has nothing to do with trades.
>>29983812
>I thought those aptitude tests sort of decide what you do
They decide what you are limited to. If you score low you are limited, if you score high then you qualify for everything.
>welding or mechanic
Literally both jobs are available in the navy mate.
Gimme a sec ill find some links
>>29983816
Mate im not talking shit on the army cause im a navy vet who is joining the army now so i got nothing but love. Im just saying of the mos/rates that are available in both id go navy over army. If the navy has some that arent in the army or vice versa than they dont count. But if i could get the same job in either branch id choose navy for sure. When you are deployed on a ship literally all you do is your job. nearly non stop work/maintenance/watch. You get good at it real quick.
>>29983816
I'm gonna go ahead and side with this guy. That said,

Machinist seems about right, althought looking through it now it seems like a bit of a waste of an ASVAB score not to just train a little more and go into the SEAL program instead.
What's an average ASVAB score like? How much do personality tests factor into these things? For curiosity's sake, I probably would never get accepted into any SO program anyway.
>>29983984
Mate it all comes down to what you want to do. If you want seal than go seal. But be warned, if you fail out you will get stuck with the worst hell of earth job in the navy.
>>29984011
>you will get stuck with the worst hell of earth job in the navy
How does that work? Is it because you failed out of your choice so they stick you where there was the least demand or SEAL applicants have the highest apptitude overlap with shitty jobs? Seems like some pretty powerful motivation either way.
What is the worst job?
>>29984035
>>29984035
>What is the worst job?
Un-designated. Means you got no job. basically you get sent to some random ass ship and you are treated like a literal slave. You will spend all day working for the BMs. Chipping paint and re-painting will be your life for most likely years. You are able to strike/fall into some other rate if a slot opens but that can take a very long time especially if you hold out for one you actually want rather than doing anything just to get out of deck division. Its horrible. They send you there cause it requires no training. you just fail out of any school not just seal and they just dump you there cause it requires no leg work or money on the navys part. Plus they always need slaves on ships to do the shit work.
>>29984059
>years
That's the worst of it, I wouldn't mind chipping some paint for failing but if that ends up being my entire deployment it's definitely not worth the risk. So SEAL dropouts end up being ship bitches, huh.
>>29984092
It can easily last years. And
>SEAL dropouts end up being ship bitches, huh
Like I said all rates have this fate. But yes seals have such a high dropout rate so most Undes guys who get forced into it are from this. I had at least 7 "Bud Duds" on my ship. They absolutely hated it. One used to get in trouble on purpose just to get kicked out.

Want to explain how using AAS makes you a retard? Or do you just let you let your cocksucker flap without justifying your statements.

Want a fucking pat on the back? I was there for the Surge too, fucknuts.
>and I HIGHLY doubt you'd see more shit if you went Ricky retard peacetime Ranger (aka failed out).
I've been in since shortly before 9/11 you fucking clown. So wanna try again? Hey, guess what you fucking waste of air? "Peacetime Rangers" are seeing a lot more action than fucking 0311s, just like Rangers were seeing more action than 0311s during the height of the GWOT.
Wanna put other vets and branches on blast? Cool, get your fucking shit straight and unfuck yourself before you do it you faggot fuck.
You're a sorry fucking excuse for a Marine to sit here and bitch and moan and disparage other guys who have been in the same fucking situations you've been.
I know plenty of Marines who would fucking skillfuck some sense into your stupid ass.

Hi guys, I asked this on /fit/ but got no answer so I'm asking here :
I have a simple routine for some time : 10km everyday and some exercise at home (don't know the name in english) working mainly arms and torso. But I will soon have a contest to join special army unit and I must have the best result possible.
I wanted to start a diet since I've never really given a fuck about what I was eating but what is the optimal body type in term of effectiveness ? What am i supposed to aim at ?
tl;dr what kind of training do you do for special force enlistment ?
>>29986924
lean and fast is better than big and strong. keep doing your running, push ups, sit ups, and pull ups, don't worry so much about weight lifting
So /dep/
How you managin all that pre enlistment S T R E S S?

I know 0311 peacetime sucks but divulge what the fuck your rangers do in peacetime without ruining opsec.
Yes, I do want you to Pat my back, and no I'm not shitting on Rangers just kids who underestimate what it takes to be one.
As for the steroid issue I just simply don't agree. I did 4 years and 2 deployment just fine on mother nature fitness. We've talked about this b4. You say you need it to keep up, ever considered it's a young man's game and you shouldn't be juicing? From my experience those are always the retard meatheads.
It's not your attitude. It's that you're encouraging the next generation of recruits to adopt standards that are not only against UCMJ but just plain wrong.
It's you that needs humility. I also know Marines that would skillfuck you also. I'm not blasting other vets in other branches my animosity was directed at you in particular.
Also you replied to the guy who replied to me, wrong post. Chump.
>>29987065
I told my dad that if they cared about me, they would support me instead of implying that I was betraying them. Then he asked why I wanted to spend four years with idiots instead of finishing my education, so it was back to square one.

I don't want comments from the peanut gallery.
And I never said that. My largest problem with Ricky is his justification of steroid use, even suggesting it to frail minded children.

if he wants to use AAS, why the fuck do you care? I have a ranger buddy who takes them for joint and muscle repair because he got fucked up in training and combat. its personal preference, not a rule

I don't care about him personally. I care he encourages others to do it.
If you can't perform your job requirements without using illegal performance enhancing drugs you don't belong, Mark McGuire/Lance Armstrong.
>>29987133
You buy a mix or make it from scratch
Iirc I use flour, milk, vanilla, baking powder. So constantly add butter to the griddle for every new pancake? Do you use butter in the mix too? I usually used light olive oil to fry them
>>29987202
>>29987251

The problem is they don't direct that rage at the enemy, but instead the men they serve with causing infighting.

If you're properly trained you are already that. If hajjis could shoot worth a damn I wouldn't be here shitposting on my day off.
>>29987434
Lad I never said i didnt want large balls, just that your dicks does not shrink. Also considering all top athletes are on gear including Lance armstrong like you said it should be clear that steroids take you above and beyond what is achievable naturally.

That sounds good.
I use krusteaz with vanilla almond milk. My mom used to make her own mix but I haven't tried that since I was a kid.
I don't put butter in the mix, I just throw it on the griddle.

might have to push my ship date because my ankle is still fucked.
High school senior here planning to use the Ohio Air Guard to get through college for computer engi/sci among other things. There's a spot open for 3D1X2, Cyber Transport that I'll most likely be going for once I graduate. What do you guys have to say about it? I've heard AF cyber is a meme, but it seems like a pretty decent IT job to me.
Just signed into the navy for 5 years as SECF.
I'm pretty sure I get the option to take the napt here pretty soon. The chief put the SECF as back up after nuke.
Nuke doesn't go to basic until February but I can leave before the end of the year with the electronics/computer field. Both jobs get me e3 out of basic. I'm torn on what to do.
>>29989809
Nothing wrong with AF "cyber", it just isn't what every other branch calls "cyber". It's just IT.

Can't speak for the other branches but software sustainment and QA is done by civilians as far as the air force goes.

Have you read the thread after that post? That anon ended up being a can if worms that is better left close.
>>29990539
I have now. Sheeeiiit.
I'm being really torn here. I have a background in electrical engineering but i want to switch to a more physical profession. So i kind of want to pursue a more physical service but at the same time i would qualify for signal intelligence and such. I want to enlist to a service that means i'll handle firearms and not just sit behind a computer or desk. I'm thinking human intelligence in the Army or Air Force security forces would be something i would enjoy doing right now.
I want to do something physically heavy. But most intelligence services seem like you'll just be staring at a computer screen all day. And that's not what i want to do.
Is this really what being in the army is like?
Im 21 and leave for army basic in a month. Can I use this fact to pull prime pussy at bars or do I need to wait till after I finish basic to really impress sloots?
>>29990788

In Army ROTC right now. If you are contracted, you will be paid $300 a month as a stipend your freshmen year. 350, 400, 500 for sophomore, junior, and senior year respectively. You go to Cadet Leader Course your Junior summer just before senior year. You get $4000 I think. I cant remember. Anyway Army ROTC cadetfag here, ask me questions if you have them.

Did you pass with a C in your classes in the end? Did you actually graduate? Thats all that matters.
The second point matters more than the first because your recruiter can pull some strings if you get a good one.
I graduated a few months late because of some bullshit. Other than a "thats wierd" no one gave a shit. Do well on the asvab and youll be fine.

I posted a couple threads ago and then got busy with real life. What branch will take me if I'm missing a nut that was surgically removed as a kid from injury?
>>29997585
All of them.
>>29997585
Any. Seriously.
Did you lose the right or left nut? Left nut is best nut. I won't judge.
>>29997596
Really? That army recruiter told me no. How do I find the exemption form or whatever so I can come back with more than just "the internet said so"
>>29997605
Don't go in assuming or telling them you're missing a nut.
Keep your mouth shut. There isn't a "how many testicles do you have" question.
That's for your fellow recruits and DI to discover during communal shower time.
>>29997605
Ok a simple google helped here. Recruiters say it isnt a dq. However a recdnt urology test will help and have as much documentation on why it was removed as humanly possible and something that shows that it was a success. Best of luck to you.
>>29997639
So when they ask if I have any physical deformities or surgeries, the answer is "no" followed by "that was so long ago I forgot" if they somehow find out?
>>29997605
The guy must have been retarded or new. You can enlist with parts of your fingers and toes missing.
You don't file anything. He writes it up, you go to meps, the docs make notes of it, you get an interim disqualification, the recruiter files a waiver, you wait X number of weeks, it comes back approved, you enlist.
Find another recruiter. The guy is either lazy or doesn't know what the fuck he is doing.
>>29997663
Don't listen to that faggot, don't lie.
Report it and get the waiver so you don't get kicked out for false enlistment.
>>29997663
Basically.
Same thing like when they ask if you've ever smoked weed. "No".
Your biggest concern is if the doctor at Meps clears you. Which I predict 90% chance. Missing 1 ball isn't really a physical impediment, it just sucks.
I answered your questions now mine. Left nut or right nut?

You still got the left one. Cuddle it and call him Lefty.
On a serious note yes stay quiet. If I were you I would drive to the next over recruiting station and start fresh since you already blabbed you're a 1 nut to current recruiter.
Like I said your biggest challenge is the dr at meps and I'm sure they would clear you. Do it, no guts no glory.
