jaypee, have you ever thought about joining the military to escape your life of perpetual solitude and NEETdom? Does the FFL take little girls?

[Anonymous No.]

Yes but not for that reason

I've got this romantic image of the FFL in my mind of camaraderie and éspirit de corps in the deserts of Algeria but all of it kind of being like that movie where Bill Murray invades Czechoslovakia. And then when your tour is over, you get citizenship in the most generous welfare state in the world.

Not NEET, but certainly a military hikki here. I can answer questions you have about military life that you won't get from a recruiter and I have a tiny bit of insight into the FFL from browsing /k/.

There are quite a bit of people in service who are into otaku things, I overhear a few talking about normalfag shows like DBZ and Bleach but I recall hearing an E4 discussing some visual novel with a friend at a tech school dfac.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10906755
Yeah, Finland. Communications sub-officer in the artillery. Everything about it was total shit. We used gear ranging from late 50s to 90s, fighting the invisible enemy in the forests and pretending to be in a hurry just to wait around all the time. The communications car I was in had a computer that could barely run Wolfenstein 3D, which someone had installed. Some computers were even worse than that.

The only fun times when they let us communications guys use some other weapons than our trusty RK 62 once in a blue moon. And when the artillery sang, that was decent. Sometimes they would shoot over your campsite too with those 155mm beasts.

I guess it's also a nice thing that it's one thing that unifies you with other males. You can always talk about military if there's nothing else to talk about because everyone has funny stories.

I've always been interested in the service but part of the reason I never joined was because of a pre-existing psychological condition. Could I still get a desk job or something?

Thats fine, I'd rather just get a bit each month from the VA and work and/or go to college while easily making over twice as much as I am now. Plus on top of all that I'm sure they wouldn't even let me reenlist due to downsizing.

[Anonymous No.]

I've been held back 3 years in my highschool years, after i finish HS like the 'tard, the military is my only option if i don't want to leech off my parents forever
Who knows, maybe it will help with my laziness and fear of interacting with people.

The US is out of Iraq and drawing down in A-stan. There are no 'cushy' jobs in the service but some are certainly better than others. I don't know that much about other branches but working in finance/personnel or handing out towels at the gym in services is far better than being in Security Forces and working 14 hours a day or being a maintainer and turning a wrench in horrible conditions outside.

It is possible to get a reserved job but you must meet the ASVAB requirements and the wait to get in can be a year or more longer before the slot for that job opens up.

>>10906818
Just curious what is your MOS and how did you like your stint?


Also please don't prune this thread, military commitment is life changing and I wouldn't want a /jp/er to make the same mistakes I did in regard to enlisting.

Spent the last 5 (technically 4, since schooling was a whole year) as a 6152, CH-46E airframe mechanic. Plenty of bullshit to go around, but do have fond memories. Got to spend two years stationed in Okinawa, and had the chance to visit Thailand, Philippines, Singapore and other countries in the Western Pacific, as well as visit Nagasaki, Sasebo, Tokyo, and Iwo Jima. (pic related, took this during Operation Tomadachi. You can faintly see Fuji underneath the rotor blades in the distance. This was taken a NAF Astugi.)

I keep telling everyone, despite how much I tend to bitch over stuff we have to do, I am going to miss this somewhat when I get out.

[Airman No.]

>>10906854
I've read a few threads with IDF guys on /k/ and OPchan, one was in the Golani brigade and another was sent to jail for refusing to evict Palestinians and was excommunicated to South Africa I believe. I would be very interested in hearing your situation.

>>10906839
Are you going to get disability pay? Thats my plan to be NEET after I get out. I recall hearing an Airman on /jp/ who used to be a U2 Avionics troop and is doing that now. I hear you have to be diagnosed while in service for it to work the best and they have a percentage rating system that pays based on how severe your condition is and how many dependents you have. I have legit hearing loss from my job but am scared that if I exaggerate it to get enough % to live on I won't get anything.

[Anonymous No.]

[Anonymous No.]

>>10906908

Hell, I'm claiming hearing loss. Claim everything, ever. Make sure you have it documented, too. And yes, the VA does go off a percentile system. After they have their own doctors look at you, they give you a number (which is always a -0 number, like 10 or 20). Then, based on how many dependents, and I think rank you are, you get a certain amount each month. Be sure to start this whole process before you get out. If not, it can be years before you start getting the au-disability bucks. They will go more in depth with all this when you do pre-seperation classes.

[Anonymous No.]

you will be conscripted, given minimal training, crappy equipment, and sent on suicidal missions to iran in ww3. what a horrible time to be american.

Not exactly that easy. There is drone pilot and Missaleer for AF but you need to be an Officer and that requires a 4 year college degree. Army has enlisted Drone pilots I believe and there is also enlisted Sensor Operator for AF. /k/ has one as a resident tripfag and he did an AMA anything thread on opchan.

Missaleer is a shitty job if you are to see pic related.

I've considered joining for the discipline, and because I had no idea what to do after High School.

Was fairly fit, scored 99 on AVASB, got pressured by recruiters since I was a Senior in HS, then did the entire process rather quickly. I got rejected due to Blepharospasm in my right eye, though. They sent me to MEPs like 5 times, which was pretty crappy.

This was a couple years ago.

Even if I were to consider such a thing as joining the military. I have some pretty shit feet, they hurt after an hour of walking, it's the primary reason I've never considered a military career, am good with targets though.

That sucks big time, you could try getting a waiver, but that might be very difficult with the force reduction going on.

From that room layout......Hello, fellow Singaporean

[Anonymous No.]

>>10907124

Yeah, I've heard from my friends in the Army.

It was a PDQ, and I think my recruiters applied for a waiver back then and it was rejected.

I could try another branch, but I think only the Navy has more lenient medical standards than the Army. But then once again, my Blepharospasm isn't really noticeable anymore since I've started using eyedrops.

On the down side, it's been two years and I haven't worked out since then. Not to mention, it's rather embarrassing to join as a E1 when you're 20 years old, when some HS graduates are joining as E3s due to JROTC and junk.

Anyway, I moved on already so that's that.

>>10907116
Yes your feet can literally make the difference. I had flat feet when I joined up and had never seriously exercised or jogged. Boot camp involved running 3 times a week for 1 hour and marching about a mile everyday, sometimes with a heavy ruck on your back. It was no doubt the hardest time of my life, after a few weeks my legs were in frequent pain and it even got so bad I couldn't sleep. I had trouble keeping in step with my flight and I felt like I was letting them down.
I eventually saw a doctor and got a waiver for running about 2 weeks before graduating so I didn't get recycled and held back. I felt like a shitbag cause I didn't get to run with my wingmen during the Airman's run on the last day, but at least I barely made it through. There were other like me who didn't though, they got stress fractures and were either kicked out or had to spend months recovering in the 319th medical squad.

Sorry for the blog post but it is important to know whats involved if you ever consider joining. I would recommend running and working out for at least 3-4 months before you ship out.
>>10907155
I've seen baby Sergeants in their very early 20's but also E3s who are 28 years old so I wouldn't worry too much about age disparity. I knew an Egyptian guy in basic who had a freaking Masters degree. Dumb farm kids would call him haji and what not at first but at the end we all got along like bros

[Anonymous No.]

Yes you can have paper and pencils. At the end each day in basic there was letter reading and writing time. It is a good idea to have postcards/envelopes with stamps and addresses already on them because your first couple of weeks you literally get only a few minutes of free time before lights out.
Don't try to do stupid shit after lights out with your flashlight, the drill sergeants sneak around and try to catch people after dark sometimes. Also you get about 5-10 minutes of extra free time as the weeks go by to write letters.

Its a shame the thread got axed but I'm always on the archive and can answers questions if asked, it just might take a while.

[Anonymous No.]

I've been playing with the idea of joining one of the branches for the longest time. Not really sure if it's worth the time...
