MILITARY STORIES

[Son Goku]

I got mine through an FFRDC (gov sponsored think tank).
It helped that I had a Secret clearance from the Navy, but it had expired (they're good for 5 years)
so the FFRDC sponsored my TS-SCI
The Navy clearance was a piece of cake, interview was about 15 min running through a checklist (no I don't have any convictions, no I don't use drugs, etc etc)
but TS-SCI? that shyt took over a year and they went through my whole life with a microscope
interviewed former work managers, college professors, references, neighbors...the whole enchilada
My advice is don't lie or cover up or try to write around shyt. They will find whatever you're trying to hide and you'll be denied (unless you're Jared Kushner)
Like "no I never smoked weed" then they interview your plug from high school
Instead, write "I experimented with cannabis as a youth" and you'll be fine

10 years over here bro.

You are brave. Civilian life is tough. That guaranteed check every two weeks, free food, cheap/free housing is tough to beat. 14 more years and you are set for retirement.

I hope you achieve everything you envision Brotha.

My pops did 24 in the Navy, retired an E7, got out and did another 10 to get a mini check. He has 70% disability. Has 4 checks coming now and livin in Belize.

I’m on year 20 in the reserves. 3 active but only 13 good years. I sometimes think why I didn’t go active. I wished I would have join the Air Force instead.

I contract overseas so I haven’t been hitting my good year points. I’ll get there eventually but I would have received my 20 year letter this year. O well.

I won’t see my little baby check until 60 anyway. Maybe I will go warrant before I age out.

Agree, but if you play your cards right civilian life is much better than the military grind

I agree as well. It can be tough to play your cards right though. Outside of govt services, pensions are gone. Yes you can dump the max amount into a 401k and Roth, who is droppin 25-30K a year into one though? If you are clearing 150k a year, maybe you would have to foresight to max out your contributions.

I know the military went to the TSP model (I opted in), so maybe military retirement isn’t what it was. TriCare for life is a game changer if you have a family though. You can’t beat that price. With no fam, VA will take care of you.

Civilian life car start in one’s 40’s after they traveled to world, made it to E7, CW3 or O4, secured a transferable skill, finished masters, secured a pension and TriCare of life. A vet isn’t missing out on shyt out here unless you want to settle in one city and begin that corporate climb.

I know we the Coli and everybody makes 6 figures but to true grind to get there can be tough and many people will never make it.

Military is easy mode to a future in ones 60’s that don’t want to worry about how they will make it.

7 more years until I can retire. Let
Me keep scamming until the end

 

[HabitualChiller]

I 90 days on and 90 days off. 2019 I was going to start my rotation at DJ. As soon as I land, I get sent to Simba. Simba is a strange little base. US has a base within a Kenyan base. Monkeys everywhere, baboons, black mambas (I ran one over), hyenas and the big cats. Al Shabab is lurking.

Base was tiny. Maybe 500 people max. Air Force runs security. These kids are 18-23. I rarely saw any rank. They are lax. Guard always down.

For me to get to work, I have to exit the encampment, then exit the base. It’s not too far. We had guys that walked to work. Maybe 2 miles.

Nah, nikka, fūūūūck that. Kats tripping out this bytch.

Get off from work at 1600 and get mauled by some random ass leopard that was pissed because the gazelle hit him with a juke move a couple hours ago, brehs

Me: "Ayo, what happened to Brandon? He said he was going to show up early for turnover today."

Supervisor: "Yeah, stumbled across a Leopard and got tore the fukk up in the middle of the street, crazy shyt"

Me:" "

I've seen so many people i served with get out with no plan...and thought the grass was going to be that much greener/less shytty

Not even the RE-4 types, just people who couldn't see the forest through the trees.

I've never campaigned for people to re-enlist, but i find myself having to talk more and more people into it simply cause their grand plan to get out didn't include anything other than their desire to not be as responsible/accountable and doing drugs.

my girls best friend is going thru that right now. Her and her husband were navy and couldnt wait to separate. She hated being in, being accountable, the threat of deployment and not being able to smoke. IN fact, I think she got a RE-4

Now, her and ol buddy are bout to divorce. She has no job, has 2 special needs kids and is living with her parents in the sticks. fukked up her summer enrollment so no GI bill until fall semester. Soon to be Ex hubby just got "laid off" from his major defense contractor job (which reads to me like he got fired, no defense contractor is laying off rn) . And bruh been struggling since ETS'ing as the navy was all he knew and he kinda slow otherwise.

As you said man, these fools really didnt have a grand plan.

Navy ousts CO of Hershel ‘Woody’ Williams amid soft grounding probe

The Navy said the investigation is still open, but sufficient findings of fact have emerged to warrant the captain’s firing.

Ayo, so I'm about to be stationed in Japan. What's the rule / method(s) / where, how and when to pull Japanese joints?

I'm not getting shìt on Tinder, but at the same time, I really only have selfies, and my shìt is all in English.

How did you guys (or your homies) pull out there? Lotta kats have said that they love níggas, but my co-workers told me that they really don't (he's a grumpy looking kat).

On a related noted, I also stopped by a couple months ago for a little visit. The women were waaaay prettier than any other Asian nationality that I've come across on average. Out in town, they normally kept to themselves, although, they would stare, but look away as soon as I looked back.

This one other Kat that I knew went at the same time as me, but he actually stopped by some clubs. Níggas told me that he knocked down 3 in 3 days. This little short ass, 5'4 stocky, white-looking Hispanic kat. Had my ass perplexed.

Apparently, he just walked up to them in the clubs, used Google Translate to communicate, drank and danced then smashed at his spot.

Shìt sound easy as shyt.

Let me hear dem stories, btw
