Did asvab and got 77 or 78. Went through meps already. Coast guard doesn't do waivers so trying army now (shellfish allergy ) what should I know bruhs?

Was looking into military police.

You're black? The don't.

as a black man don't

I don't understand this logic. The military is one of the few ways a young black man with few options can:

-find a prestigious, decent paying job that treats you fairly. You don't get deployed because you're black. You don't miss promotions because you're black. Dudes get in serious trouble for discrimination or race related abuse.

-pay for college or trade school

-accumulate great work experience for resumes

I certainly did not feel like anyone's slave anymore then all the races of people I worked with. Even Colonels are someone's bytch.

You just gotta use the military to get where you need to be. And be smart about what jobs you're signing up for.

How many VAs are homeless and without their benefits today?

Be black and help thw enemy brehs....

 

[intruder]

What was do bad about it to you? I've been in the AF Disaster Prep and in the Army Cav Scout, Supply, Intel...

I got multiple deployments as well.

I always feel like i could have been much further in my career if i skipped the military. I feel like i wasted those years. Some people need military. I didn't

 

[KinksandCoils]

@Mook don't do it. The potential to go to war and lose your life and limbs is not worth the money or benefits. So many homeless people are military vets. The military should be embarrassed that so many people who have served are on the bottom now.

 

[92Inc]

no black man should join the military

There are a lot. I can't lie. The VA disability compensation is a whole other story. But that's why I scream go everyone that listens to not do Army/Marines or any "dangerous" jobs unless you're really bout that life.

Unless you literally lose a limb or have mental issues as a result, why should they be embarrassed?

Idk man, from my time serving, for the most part it just felt like a job that I volunteered for. I'm not out here looking for handouts. I looked at what was offered, weighed the pros and cons, then went and did my one term.

It's the people that end becoming dependent on the military that become so vulnerable.

I feel you...but it's different for everyone I Made made the MSG list in 13 years and I can say the living isn't bad at all...and my hours changed however I am going to be a 1SG at the beginning of the.month.

So I figure I can retire at 20 and start my.second career...but I can't knock you for.what you said however we all have different experiences.

It's alot more to this story that people aren't realizing.

I know far too many people who are doing week after they ets or retire...I also know some who are doing bad...but oddly enough they didn't do find in the military always pissing hot discipline issues bad with finances abusive had a gang of kids with hoe bags and so on.

Because if you serve this country they should have way better programs to prevent this from happening. If a big portion of homeless people were in the military than what does it say about how u get treated when you are out?

Too mooks story or to what I said?

Too mooks story or to what I said?
