Nothing beats the sound of SAW on the ground my friend.You actually loved being a grunt?
Make your own career with the Post 9/11 GI Bill while being surrounded by 18-22 year old pussy for 3-4 years.
I can think of plenty of things that beat anything to do with that pos.
Cool. Stay on it. I wish I had gone in with a good job instead of an open contract. If I could I would advise the younger me on so much I missed out on.
I was security forces, 3P0. The epitome of boring. Plus, anything below E5 in that field just gets crapped on.
Yeah, a lot of goobers scoring way above their ability just because of the AF blues.
I did a CAX (or Mojave Viper or whatever it's called now) in June 05 and some of our training was at March AFB. We got some libo and saw an Air Force security guy or MP sound asleep in his patrol car with all the windows rolled down and his M16A2 just sitting there in the backseat begging to be snatched.
Yeah, that shit happens, unfortunately. March is a Reserve base, which means it's even more undermanned than active duty bases,which means people on post alone. If that kid made it a full shift without getting put in cuffs, he was lucky.
They had a bunch of abandoned base housing close by that was made up to look like a village and even had a few hundred actual Iraqi civilians there as role players. I think it all got bulldozed over though.
man, I used to drive 20 mins to rammstein, and just instantly feel sorry for every Soldier/Marine I knew. The quality of life difference is astounding.
