@martin30: Driving in a sand storm without being able to make contact with any US base, while looking out the window at 1000 pound blaster craters in the lead vehicle. So, lost and nothing working due to the sand while reading a paper map and driving with hand compass.
First of all - sorry for my english, hope you will understand me... Few questions 1. How long did they(Army) was trained you to a soldier? Training camp duration. Was that very hard for you? What are the most memorable/hardest part of it? 2. Why did you join the army? If you could travel in time, would you join army once again, or you regret that decision? If you had a baby
@agnostyk: 1. 5 months. Some parts were hard. The river crossing and treading water in full gear. 2. I already answered first part. Yes I would join the army again. I would tell him he can do whatever makes him happy. And I will support him no matter what ( I have son lvl 5). 3. To not have to worry about money any more. No, it's in the works. Fuck
1. What skills do you think you have learnt in the army that now you can make use of in some other careers? I mean, do you feel you have some skills that are significantly higher than average because of your service?
2. I assume that service in the army and deployments must have changed your personality somehow, could you confirm it and maybe try to describe how has it changed you?
@fahrenx: 1.It made me a stronger leader that can look at the bigger picture when undertaking a project. Also my people skills are really outstanding, being able to bring people together and keep down conflict is a good skill to have. Finally I work extremely well under stress this helps when managing multi-million dollar projects, where there is little margin for error. 2.I am extremely watchful, I have to see everybodies
1. What happens if you refuse to go on a mission? Does your reason matter? 2. When you made your decision about becoming a soldier were you almost certain that you'll be sent into some war zone? 3. Why the Army instead of Navy, Air Force or Marines? Seems the most dangerous. How do they compare salary-wise?
@SentiBM: 1. You could not refuse to go on a mission, Army rules pretty much state that you can be shot and killed by your Commander Officer for doing so in time of war. 2.No, I got sent to Iraq 3 months after basic training. I really had no idea that the unit that I was going to, already had orders for deployment until. I got mine 30 days after going
So once you've joined the army it's difficult to get out, as always. But how exactly does the process look? Is there a minimum contract length and then you don't extend the contract further (like in many European armies), or is the only possibility of leaving centered around either retirement after 20 years or convincing them you're unfit and need to be discharged?
What do you think about the recruitment advertising for
@jmryftb44SKY: They have a lot of people to support with the transition. So you are supplied with job training, resume writing, job placement, etc. I think the minimum time various due to the need for a specific MOS( job) but right now I think it's 3 years active duty with 8 years total obligation to the military. Which means if something happens in that 8 year period you can be called
1. What was your military rank? 2. The story you wrote was truly horrible, I cannot imgaine how witnessing an event like that can effect one's life. Does it get back to you, like during a nighttime and keeps you awake? Was the situation you described the most dreadful to you? 3. Did you ever deny following an order given by your commander, because you were absolutely against it? 4. Do you
@qbuteq: 1. E-4 2. Sometimes at night I think about being over there and I have what they call "night terrors" every now and then. It is so bad I had to be put on medication for them. A lot of times when this happens my wife knows and she will wake me up and will not remember everything or anything all. She tells me that I am breathing hard and
Why did you choose this career path? I have read that the suicide rate for US veterans is much higher than for an average person, why do you think thats the case? Are there any particular factors that you think might influence this?
@Calhil: The Army is not my career path. No one really understands PTSD, so therefore it is hard to relate to someone who is giving you treatment when they never experienced what you did.
