• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

If your an Afghan, Iraq, Vietnam or even Civil War Veteran i want to know what your MOS ( job) is and where you serve, how long youve been in etc.

Im an Army Sgt stationed out of Ft. Stewart, GA currently in Baghdad, Iraq conducting "Route Clearance" trying to find I.E.D's/E.F.P's though they tend to find us first. Ive been in 5 years and get out in Feb..would have been out March 8h but i got Stop-Lossed :th_shakinghead2:
 


hello. Im an Army PFC. stationed out of Rose Barracks in Vilseck Germany, currently at FOB Spin Boldak, Afghanistan. Im a 19D "scout", conducting reconnaissance (area, zone, and route) so i too know all to well how IED's like to "suprise" you. Ive been in for just under two years now, should be getting promoted soon. not sure if im going to re-enlist, but kinda leaning towards ETS.

Best, Lenny

why would you join AFTER college? doesnt it make sense to join before and make them put you through college? seems like you got it backwards, homie.

Not really, since you can join as an Officer, instead of enlisted.

I wish I had my college done before going in.
 
im pretty sure they will pay for any student loans you might have if you join after college. i know my friend has a degree, went enlisted anyways, but had all his student loans payed off, plus still got a signing bonus.

Best, Lenny
 
Pretty much everyone on here knows me spent 16 months in Iraq 2006-2007. Worked as a bradley mechanic 91T now. I just got done with 94M school in Feb. and Im in Afghanistan right now. Working on Sentinel Radars. Look them up on wiki I dont feel like explaining it. Should be home around end of Nov. early Dec. Im a Sergeant right now and ill be starting my 8th year in Dec. By the time I get home I should have around 46 months on Active duty which is something to say since Im North Dakota National Guard. Wouldnt have it any other way. Get all the benifits and still get a normal 9 to 5 job at home.
