Oh hell yeah. Send over some Cherry *** Louis and it's all good.
OMG. This **** here is too damn funny, but too fricken true.
Sucks to hear about your set-up man. You were screwed over pretty bad. WE had one guy in our LRS Detachment that had 1 day left on his Q course. He had to go on emergency leave because his wife was in the hospital. They were trying to make him stay with the ultimatum of not graduating. He told them to **** themselves and lost the entire deal. He had to start the Q course from day 0 again.
OMG. This **** here is too damn funny, but too fricken true.

Hit it up.
Also look here for some Courses you might want to take.
www.cesmilitary.com
Let me know if you need any other info. Computers are worth it actually. Id' hit this up now, and then get another fresh $4500 when Oct comes around. I'm finnally able to take advantage of the tuition assistance after 9 years in.

Amazing..... I am headed to Ft Bragg next and off to Jump school. It only took 14 years of begging and pleading to go....

Just remember, retirement doesnt come till your 30 year point. 20 years etc is a privelage. You put a request to go to the Fleet Reserve (Navy example) after 20 years of service, but many people have been denied for Needs of the Navy. The Army is the same way, your in a reserve status(or whatever the Army calls it, no active reserve, just a status to where you get a "retirement" check)
Then once you go over that magic 30 years(10 years past your 20) you are on the official retirement list.
And, if you just get out without asking for permission to go after 20 years , even after you obligated time is up, EAOS, you are NOT guranteed a retirement check.

That is something I've never heard about Steve. I'll ask around and see what is true for the Army.
redrumss, just remember that Airborne takes it's toll on the body. If you start feeling pain, get it checked out. It's never worth it in the long run. Just remember to not look down as you get close to the ground. You'll start Pointing and that can be the worst for your legs.
How man Jumps you got 11Bravo?

When I was in the Navy I had done 7 deploments on the same submarine, I was supposed to transfer, When I got up for watch there was a note in my box. "Friend, we had your career review board and didn't want to rack you out. You have been extended two more patrols"
I felt the same way...

Also, you mention patrols, what boomer were you on? And Seven deployments is only about 4 years, correct? Your first sea duty is 5 for most sailors on first term.

Invoulntary extension, which is perfectly leagal, they can extend you once with out your say,so it wouldn't matter if I were there or not. I did overhaul on the Michigan and 9 patrols. 6 years. That was more than enough. Shore duty at TTF then a Patrol on the Alaska. 11 years and got a medical discharge, for an adult case of Asthma. E-6 that made board.

I know how you feel. I don't believe the jumps really did me in much, but Jumping in and then Rucking out and marching for miles after miles is what kills you. You may be hurt, but slamming into the dirt numbs you up enough to keep on going without ever noticing a thing.
115. That's alot. I made it 63 before I did a Toe-Knee-face landing going sideways about 28 knots. That jump was fucked up. Out of 38 jumpers, 9 of us left in FLA's. We had one guy who hit the FLS bust his canteen, and had a Bruise ring around his head from smaking the tarmack. God what a shitty day that was, BUT I didn't have to do the annual 75K march. (lol)
My ankles are more jacked up then my knee's even though they hurt.

The Ft. McDickHurst (new Consolidated name ) area isn't that bad. Englishtown is about an hour to the northeast.....Acto is about 35 minutes to the southwest (How in the HELL are you guys making Atco in 20 minutes....I know you've got a Vette and all, but....) and now aparrently there's a LARGE road-racing complex projected to be build in Millville about an hour or so from base to the south. Not a bad deal.
McGuire's hobby shop isn't terrible, but it ain't great either. There's only two lifts which are usually busy, I believe 13 stalls for usage, and a paint booth that's currently being used for storage. Supposedly we're getting a new and much improved hobby shop though.........but don't hold your breath.
