30 days of paid vacation sounds good until you find out that if you want a four-day weekend, you have to take four days off, not two, even if you weren't scheduled to work the weekend, unlike every civilian job.
Then comes the poisoned water, the bad food, the mandatory medical procedures, the forever wars, the fuck-fuck games, the depleted uranium and dangerous RF exposure, and all the perks of living according to a government bureaucracy.
Me too. I was in during the Reagan administration but was on Reserve duty when the Marine barracks in Lebanon was bombed. There was never even any rumor of being activated afterward.
All our training was geared toward fighting Ivan. Even the range targets looked like Russian troops.
The U.S. Army has expanded its two-year enlistment options, making it easier for individuals who may not be comfortable making a four- or six-year commitment.
Even if 2 years is still a thing, the army I spent 2 years in no longer exists. But VA benefits unexpectedly turned out to be pretty useful.
Maybe all the nightmarish shit issuing from the Army is their way of adapting to the deteriorating recruit pool full of whiny, entitled, soft bitches who come into service expecting a regular 9-to-5 job.
They really went south when they decided that integrating women into regular Army units was a good idea.
I hate to think what might be happening to the Marine Corps.
Don’t mind the single mom sharpshooter with the brown kid, at least one aspect of that exists in reality
It's not her fault. She doesn't know which 3rd world deadbeat she let raw dog her is the father.
I'm surprised the Army hasn't shut down the comments yet, what with all the angry veterans.

On top of everything else, why does Youtube consider the US army's channel to be a "national health authority"?
Wow. Glad I served when I did. Be all that you can be indeed

Thanks for your service. My dad served in that period as well. I served from 99 to 04. Air Force so during the whole war on terror
"Unless of course ... war were declared."
*siren goes off* "What's that?"
"War were declared."

Considering the current state of the world, two years is a LONG time.
"Yay, my two years are up!"
Stop-Loss policy goes BRRRRRRR
Offer not applicable during times of war. Ask your commanding officer if 30 days of leave is right for you.
