fukk Ft. Hood. That place is cursed

lol they really don’t make that much. Healthcare, meals, and taxes come out the checks just like any job. And E-1, E-3 is usually hurting lol especially if they aren’t good at managing money.

This. The only ones that make serious money are officers. An O-1 starts at $32,000+, while it takes E-5 and below 8 YEARS to earn that much, and that's the just the base salary. Officers also get a bigger housing allowance for some fukking reason.

Let me drop an example for you un knowing folk, and another fact. My Senior Chief (a Navy E-8) once half-jokingly told this lieutenant (Navy O-3) that he was salty because the LT. made more money than him. Mind you, this Senior Chief had been in for 16 years, while the Lt. had only been in for 8. Numbers wise, the current totals are 64K for the O-3, and 51K for the E-8. THAT'S why you will sometimes see even high-ranking enlisted shacking up with a roommate in high cost areas.

Edit: An E-5 at 5 makes 35k LESS than an O-3 at 5. This is the main reason why I tell people to join the military as an officer. Why damn near kill yourself by carrying heavy shyt up a ladder well for peanuts when you can become middle-class in 4-5 years by being a manager?

the fukkery in here


but on the real i hope they find the girl, and get to the bottom of the fukkery on this base and other bases

That's any occupation that even remotely requires any type of violence tho. It's like being deployed. For 9-12 months prior, you training me to kill the enemy, then for the next 12 months, I'm killing the enemy. Then you bring me back to American society and saying, "okay, return to who you were 24 months ago". It's not even possible for anyone regardless of MOS. I was admin but I worked at the CSH and on another FOB where we were isolated af. So hell yea I freaked out when I was standing in a line at Sam's Club and having a bunch of strangers running around all around me. No reintegration training on this planet can get you back to "normal". I kept myself grounded unlike a bunch of folks I use to be stationed with. They're till trying to adjust

Lets keep it real.


Reintegration training is a JOKE in and of itself

And I didn't even correctly state just how little enlisted make. You can only get to 30K as an enlisted if you MAKE E-5. An E-4 at eight years would get kicked out for not making that rank, and they max out at 27K. An E-1 fresh out of boot camp makes 17K before taxes.

I can't lie to you when I say that I was making $550 a check when I was an E-1.

 

[old pig]

goddamn...the personal stories in here are far worse than the original story and I’m only on page 3...shyt is depressing af

 

[old pig]

Do we need a military fukkery super thread??? The casual nature in which people describe these horrible stories.

I almost joined the military out of high school. My dad was in Vietnam. I came home from the recruitment station (which was enough fukkery in itself just trying to get out of there) and my dad damn near killed me.

" You will never join the military. NEVER"

Then he dropped a couple of stories

same shyt when I wanted to join the navy...literally first time I seen my pops (vet) shed tears...talked me out of it thankfully

In the navy, E-1 - E-3 is automatic, but it follows a 9-9-6 time frame. You have to be an E-1 for 9 months to make E-2, an E-2 for 9 months to make E-3, and an E-3 for 6 months in order to even take the test to make E-4.

Definitely go officer. They get treated like adults. I have to tell another grown ass man when I can go eat, and when I'm gonna go piss. shyt is ridiculous.

 

[TaxCollector13459]

Man yall bringing back memories, shyt I've supressed for years lol.

The shyt that goes down in combat units . Stuff like Jack off competitions to see who's going shoot off the furthest. Picture 6 guys sleeping in a tent or deuce, all jacking their dikk at the same time lol.

Guy downstairs from me at Benning went to sick all cause he was having problems with his ass. Doctor says, " Maybe if you stop having anal sex. The soldier is like . Come find out his roommate was in something medical and had access to some drug. He was knocking ol boy out and tootsie rolling on his cheeks.

nikkas getting off work and going to sell dope still in uniform lol.

Fights...I was in GA when that Pastor Troy song "No MO Play" was hot. I personally watched two people die in the club. Not even on some getting shot, but getting beat to death by like an entire unit...or entire club.

there was nothing like the Army...

Even out here in the skreets...none of this can compare. The blood memories from that wretched creature over there tells me, our treachery had no bounds...

We had a dude that used to go to this strip club called bodytap and he used pay strippers to fukk. Problem was its was a restricted area and if he went to the aid station they would have known

So breh used to dump JP8 fuel on himself

KC-10 . I was com/nav. Only 2 choices for that aircraft was Travis AFB and Mcguire AFB. How about you?
I was trying to get sent overseas when i first joined , but got sent like an hour away from home lol.

Aw shyt I was on the U2 comm/nav shyt was easy then they changed our shift when deployed to 4 on 1 off I was out at Beale only other place we could go was Korea for that aircraft never got orders when I was in though I was waiting only went tdy

Yall suck. I was f16 and cv22 INTEGRATED.
I had to worry about gac/ifc, comnav, and radar all together

I have a two year degree, do you need a four year degree to get in as an officer? Considering the airforce

 

[old pig]

MAN! The physically impossible mystery piss puddle in CSM’s office, the water charge booby trap pranks, the ol’ tried and true catch gonorrhea from a girl down the hall get tested for it and go get it from her again cause the p*ssy was “too good”, the cocaine binge and AWOL, the run over 1SG’s golf cart and stay passed out for the whole troop to find you passed out at the wheel, the run over a child in your friends truck then try to blame it on him cause you were drunk, the child porn on a secure battalion laptop, the kill your wife after PT then show up for work like nothing happened, the get your 1sg pregnant then cheat on her with a neighboring company’s XO, the make your civilian husband watch 4 black subordinates gangbang you then move in while the civilian husband pays all the bills, the lose all your money trying to rescue a philippino human trafficking victim but she empties your accounts and runs of with her pimp after you’ve married her, the beat your wife and leave her for your female soldier then beat her too, the get date raped by two Civilian lesbians and wake up on a park bench with an anal prolapse, it goes on, the ol’ get left to die by your best friend with your legs stuck under a Boulder because he’s made he can’t bum a cigarette from you, the find a random fleshlight on the back of C-130 and use it for a year after spraying it with windex once, the buy a new Escalade and Exotic vacation with the squadron medical budget, the move your family into the barracks to save money even though you would make more money outside the barracks and get caught because you beat tour wife, the nose dive off the top of the barracks stairwell hitting every handrail on the way down to get out of a deployment, the sell your soldier highly addictive drugs even though he’s a burglar to pay his bills then push for the highest punishment when he fails a piss test, the have a running shootout with the Afghan police because you got too drunk at a local provincial leadership meeting Then lie and say it was drive by at while covertly collecting human intelligence after your team get shot up... it never stops, it just gets worse. No black soldiers were involved in any of that shyt by the way.
