Lately I've been seriously thinking about joining a reserve branch. I'm older now (30) and because of my college plans, an active duty bid is pretty much out of the question.
I considered Air Force but I'd kind of like to become a combat medic in the Army. I know I could join after becoming a physician, but I want to have the whole BCT experience too. Any miscers here that served or know someone who served who went to school at the same time? I heard some reservists were recently mobilized to Kuwait or the Asian regions tho.

Joining the US military is a straight up joke. Not only will you be dissed wherever you go because you are working for a bunch of land thief's, its a chitty job. Friend joined and signed an 8 year contract. What a cuck! And he's Mexican!

The only place you’d be “dissed” at as a vet are places where a bunch of neomarxists go to like college campuses, reddit and anti America rallies where *******s identifying themselves as women bish about “land thieves” or whatever. When most ppl hear you were in the military, its 50/50 that they don’t really care or they’d want to hear some cool stories. And smfh at shaming your Mexican “friend” for signing up.
@Op it’s easy to do college full time while in reserves, you’re only away for one weekend a month and a lot of reservists I met actually skipped weekends and never got into trouble.USAF Vet Crew

Don’t do it. If you want the experience join active duty and do it for real and get better benefits. I was in the army reserve and chit sucked. You go through the same training initially as active duty most of the time but in the guard or reserve they do a half ass job at maintaining your skills while in active duty you do it more often. Its hell trying to maintain a job or go to school while in as they require alot of additional bullchit training. We also had a month long training exercise but they made it so they just paid us the base pay without BAH (additional money to pay for housing) and that fuked alot of us as some of us have higher paying jobs outside the military. Most of the dumbasses in charge have government jobs or a job that lets them take the time off while they dont give a fuk about the lower guys.

Thats not the point you cuck. When you join the US military, youre not fkn protecting America. America has absolutely no threat. Its a big fkn joke. But not only does the US not have a threat, you are working for a bunch of land theives. There's no ifs ands and buts about it. You say you want to protect and serve, but the US army ransacked the natives and did just the opposite of that.

Lmao. Uhh have you seen't NK? Litttle army but nobody has messed with them.
Again, not only are you being played by your own government by coughing up the tax dollars on excess military spending, but that tax dollars was made from stolen resources.
The US is absolutely fkd.
You want to know why the US army is so big? Its because they stoled one of the largest natural resources in existence. Its why they barricaded themselves in with a massive amount of arsenal.
However, if China invaded the Brits, it would hurt the US massively without even have to ashore the US. Because the US are direct descendants of the brits. We'd hit em where it hurts most, the motherland. Yall celebrate July 4th every year. I think people forget the 4th celebrates cutting off paying taxes to the Brits.Last edited by tunafishha; 08-02-2020 at 08:23 PM.

Do it. But I'd recommend the Air Force or Navy.
I served in the Air Force and Army and Army is on that bull**** lol.
Yeah, you can be activated and deployed. Just do your research on what base you'll be going to and find out if that unit has already been activated. I went three years without ever getting deployed in the Army. This stupid rioting did activate me, but my contract was up and didn't have do chit.
It will pay for college, but you have to have a four year min agreement I believe. And yes some will say it's only two weeks out of the year combined, but that's not true. Certain units can drill for far longer if they choose. Army constantly changes chit so your civilian job better be cool with adjusting to it short term.
BCT is super easy mode vs when I first went in 2008. I went again in 2017 and breezed through it. AIT was annoying the second time I went through it, but it was bearable.[Dallas Cowboys][Dallas Mavericks][Texas Rangers][TCU*NCAA][DFW Crew]

Who gives a fukk you *******? Keep whining. If you watch movies, you’re supporting Hollyweird peedos and rapists like Weinstein. If you drive a car, you’re contributing to global warming. If you go to college you’re paying tens of thousands of dollars for a piece of paper, to be brainwashed and to become even less equipped to deal with life. If you eat a steak you’re funding animal abuse and if you buy a piece of paper you’re incentivizing deforestation.
What a fukking way you must live through life unless you’re a big hypocrite. When I joined the military I didn’t do it out of any notions of heroism. I did it for me. In my 6 years I’ve been to more countries than some ppl have been to states, I met some of my closest friends and done and seen things the average person will only ever see in movies. I wouldn’t trade any of that for the world Yes, our military does a lot of bad but das life *******, the strong takes what the weak can’t hold. It sucks but lmfao if you don’t think you’re just another cog making this machine run.USAF Vet Crew

You'd lose in a war immediately because what you are fighting for isn't noble at all. The will to fight would not be there.
If I were you, I'd hang up that uniform and live the rest of your life as an ordinary citizen. But working directly for the US military? Thats a no no.*Catholic Crew*

Lol this dude big mad. Ranting about reservists not being real soldiers/marines... Guess all those reserve/guard units that see more combat and deployments than their full-time counterparts and do the same initial training are just random volunteer plebs with pitchforks.
I'm not even American and this dude sounds like a knob. If you are military sir, you have issues. If not, you're uninformed.

so.... thats a yes?
lol circular arguments of retardation from tuna:
- US has too big of a military, nobody is a threat to them
- look at north korea, US is scared of them
- wait so US would need a big military to defend from the NK threat
- but wait nobody ever messes with NK
- US should just be more like NK
- whatever US says about NK is all propaganda and NK is actually a great country, forget that they would collapse if foreign aid was pulled from under them

Honestly I am not familiar with officer age limits, but I would commission after you're a physician or not join. Srs. Then join the Air Force... life on easy mode. Sure, the enlisted population on base might frown upon a 2nd Lt., but you'll be a captain in 4 years. Then major 2 years after that. After that promotion is merit based and competitive... but at this point you're making $70k+/year which may not seem like a lot, but you'll be living in officer housing or given 2-3k a month to live off base on top of your base pay. Officers have it made srs... by the time you're a captain basically nobody is going to f*ck with you. Even senior enlisted chiefs will be saluting you in the parking lot.
The one thing I've learned about the military is, people spend more time thinking about it than actually just mustering up the courage and doing it. I walked into a recruiters office at 18 almost spontaneously and it was the best decision of my life. Now I am getting my engineering degree for free after being to 19 countries and forged friendships that just aren't forged in the civilian world... and might even consider commissioning after getting it for all of the aforementioned reasons. Life is short... there's always a thousand reasons not to do something.
