He should seek a Commander-in-chief much better than Bammy.
He will be joining the army. That’s just a fact these days. During the Viet Nam War lots of guys joined the NG to avoid the draft and stay out of the army. These days you’re in the army whether it’s the NG, reserves or regular army. Lots of reserves and NG have been activated since the first Gulf War.
My advice to any nephew or niece of mine would be “Do not enlist.” I don’t agree with the policies. jmho
The Governor is the CIC.
Is your nephew mature enough to not run up a huge credit card debt while in the service and thereby get himself bounced from the military for being a security risk. I know of such a case. Young people sometimes act without thinking and find there’s no mercy for infractions.
The Air National Guard or the Coast Guard would be “safer” alternatives.
tell him to wait till the A$$hole in chief is out of the White House. My neighbor joined the Marines, contrary to my advice; and this month is on his way to an all expenses paid tour of West Africa to “fight” ebola..... Save your nephew, even if you have to lock him up for a couple of years.
Even with the bad policies and CIC, I can't blame any young guy who joins the military.
Has he considered a 2-year enlistment?
My nephew is two years into a 4 year Air Force enlistment. He’s doing avionics on fighters and has been stationed in the UK, Iceland and now stateside. He seems to really enjoy it. I’m encouraging him to get whatever licenses he can (A and P, etc).
If he sleeps on his side or stomach, he would be smart to learn to sleep flat on his back so he can’t be speed-boo-foo’d by some hope’nchange barracks bull fag.
maybe he needs the job...maybe he needs the money....
but he'll be thrust into a gay culture with gays ruling over him night and day....he'll be waging war with a Marxist at the helm...who doesn't care on iota about the actual soldiers....he appoint fat generals who think the youngsters in the military don't really need a raise and that the retirees don't need a commissary nor Tricare....
Tell him to pick the unit that he wants, even if he has to go to another state.
He can join in a neighboring state and still live where he does.
Have him wait until the Marxist-in-Chief has left his current term.
When I joined in 1967, the recruiter told me I had a choice of four specialties: Armor, Infantry, Artillery and Supply. Only much later, after I had been in a couple of years, did I see the actual Army Reg that listed all Army MOS’s. There are literally hundreds of MOSes, maybe a thousand of them... I don’t know, it was a huge fat book. Did you know there is (or was) an MOS for “recreational specialists?” They get assigned to various resorts to teach and/or lead Army personnel and their families in such recreational activities as tennis, scuba diving, skiing, etc. I’m not saying your nephew should or would even want to have that job, but be aware he has many more choices than probably the recruiter lets on; he has quotas to fill. You should try to get your hands on that particular eye-opening regulation.
Tell the recruiter he wants to be a C-130 loadmaster. Best darn job in the Guard!
That’s what one of my brothers did. He retired from the USAF last month.
The crew took their golf clubs almost everywhere.
I'd probably seek out a militia leader and learn to fight and kill with discipline.
NO! Tell him this sorry assed country isn’t worth his life.(Yes, and I’m a veteran).
whatever they say, their lying. Or at least they were when I joined so long ago.
Tell your nephew to expect to get his rear-end worked off during the first year at least, depending on the MOS he qualifies for.
Tell him it is an honor to serve, if for no other reason than this: Someone else won’t have to do so.
Duty Honor Country
regards and wishing him the best,
