Operation Save Noble Ukraine.

You would think recruiting would be up now that it isn’t war time

 

[Wild self]

How is this going to help?
This generation is pretty much not willing to work for anyone

The end of vulture capitalism and exploitation of labor is at hand. Gen Z gonna lead the charge.

theres lowkey been a huge shift in attitude about the military between milenials and zoomers. Zoomers aint with serving with the military like that. My guess is that they were too young or not born yet during 9/11 so they didnt have that flashpoint moment that inspired them to serve or made the military seem like a viable option.

 

[Marc Spector]

How often do you see ANG people get deployed?

quite often. ANG has been in a Heavy OPSTEMPO since 9/11. Expect a deployment every 24--36 months.

WIth that said, deployment doesnt mean "the desert" anymore.

No you wouldn't, not if you worked inside the DoD, because you'd know rona made hella folks stay in that would otherwise be out entirely.


(It also slowed the training progression of a buncha folks and prevented new trainees from getting pushed through the system in a normal timeline, so there were too many folks staying in and too many new folks barely coming in.)

@Son Goku which jobs in the Air Force are the most laid back and chill? I'm not trying to get in as a sensor operator anymore or any jobs that require a top secret security clearance.

Anyone with an ounce of sense can tell that we're going to get more and more involved in Russia and Ukraine. You have to be crazy to sign up now.

 

[High Art]

For a lot of brothers the military gives them an advantage to life that can't be disregarded. More black people, especially men need to get hip to how the military actually operates and use said resources accordingly.

We should be telling brehs about the non-combat roles and how to use that to transition to a more lucrative career when out. I know of some people who did.

It got like this during the Iraq/Afghanistan war they was letting everybody in.

And then started bytching and complaining to NCOs about the SHARP issues when, if they didn’t drop standards, a lot of those issues would’ve never occurred

If you lie about anything to the recruiter.. and they find out later.. there’s no if and’s or but’s.. they letting you go.. only way around shyt is being upfront with the recruiter.. but shoot your shot.. what you got to loose breh.. times have changed .. when I was in boot camp..

They might bring back the draft if this keeps up

We have a winner
