Considering leaving the Military.

[mc317]

^You deserve that shit too! Thanks for your service bro

 

[rickmogul]

This shouldn't even B a ? 4 a brother anymore. If that $ and discounts on food and folks walking up 2 u 2 speak means that much than hey. Coming from a Marine family, they told me fuck the service! Get it cracking in corporate or my own shit. Best life decision.

Outsider question, but what all are promotions in the military based on?

Army is basically time with a board of Senior NCO's

Navy and Airforce have to test out

Don't know about Marines.

Officers for Marines and Army is all time based until Maj.

So generally speaking, its easier to get promoted in the army?

Serious question;

What is your rank?

I've heard that it takes approximately 20 years to make it to Captain, and another 20 years to make it to General.

How old are you? Have you been promoted? Realistically if you stick around for another 9 years what do you think your rank will be?

Lol naw 5-7 years to get CPT, enlisted and commissioned are different. Based on the fact he even made this thread means he's enlisted.

Whats the difference between enlisted and commissioned?

Enlisted are privates, specialist, corporal, sergeants & Sergeant major.

Commissioned are lieutenants, captains, majors & generals and shit.

Commissioned calls the plays. Enlisted carries them out.

Thanks

T/S still didn't tell us his rank.

That makes all the difference. If you're still a private get out. But if you're a sergeant you could stay for another 10 years and maybe get promoted to Captain.

Captain looks really good on your resume.

U don't know what your talking about, just stop

I know I don't know what I'm talking about.

What is the T/S rank?

You an awkward muthfucka you know that?

I’m an E-5. Could be an E-6 by the end of the year. If I stay in realistically I could be an E-7 at 20.

no diss but SMH @ u being an E-5 in the Army after 11yrs

how u figure u can make E-6 within 7mos unless u plan on re-enlisting? u got to have at least 2 yrs left in order to get promoted to E-6 (unless shit has changed)

besides if u only a SGT after 11yrs then that tells me u ain't doing so good as far as being a Soldier(ie. u fat/injured/got an Art.15).......after all the deployments lately there is no excuse to be less than an E-6(p) by 10yrs in

u need to get tf out and at least finish school..........then if u don't like civvie life while in school u will at least have an opportunity to come back in as an officer as long as u are still under the age limit

do another 9 yrs as O1 thru O3 with enlisted bonus pay is way more beneficial than being an NCO struggling to not get QMPed

how did u end up with 11yrs in and only made it to SGT?

but then again the Army thrives on mofos being comfortable and not really having ambition

I’m in the Navy. I never said I was in the Army. I don’t know how muthafuckas got it twisted like that. Y’all niggas assume too much.

Navy advancement especially in my rate is difficult as fuck once you get past E-5. I took my exam a month ago and find out the results next month. Even still advancing isn’t even the issue.

Fuck I look like E-5 at 11 in the Army. Granted in the long run y’all advancement is better than the Navy. Those exams mixed in with the eval system fucks a lot of good sailors out of making rank past a certain level.

 

[grYmes]

nugga get the fuck out and find a job equivalent to yo MOS/Rating on USAjobs or some shit

shit are find some civilian contracting jobs overseas

I have 14 yrs active and 5 1/2 yrs reserve i can retire next year only thing i don't get my retirement until 60 maybe earlier doe since i have so much active time

prior to getting out save all yo can and at least get yo AA degree

I already applied for three contracting jobs online a couple days ago. I should be hearing back soon but even if it falls through I still got a lot of other options. Regardless of if I’m getting out or not I’m still getting some college in.

It’s still not concrete that I’m getting out yet. I just wanted to hear from people who have been in the same boat in general. From what I can see there’s quite a few here on this site. Thanks for your opinions everyone.

bet.....I read the thread and assumed u were Army

none of ur previous posts mentioned a "rate" and u gave ur rank as an enlisted paygrade

so yeah it was easy to assume Army especially considering ur worries about Trump as a CIC

and it's funny cuz I still couldn't imagine being just an E5 in any other service when there are mofos who are E7s and E8s in the Army with 11 yrs in

that's a big difference in pay to give up just to be something other than a soldier

Yea they don’t tell you that shit when you join at all. With so many people willing to join Navy over Army (probably because of the notion that it’s “safer”) they make it difficult as hell to advance. Especially with me technically being active-reserve (not as many personnel as regular active duty).

yeah I know......I almost went into the Marine Corps at 1st

I had no clue about promotions at all..........the Marine recruiter I had was psycho dumb as shit and had me 2nd guessing whether I wanted to fuck with the military at all

I met this female Army recruiter and this chick had made E5 in like 22months.....soon as she told me that I was like hell yeah I'm joining the Army SMH

what she didn't tell me was how much smutting she had to do to get promoted so fast haha

I’m in Virginia Beach right now. I just moved back here after being in New Orleans for three years. I didn’t know what the fuck FTS was when I joined. Not until I was picking orders at A School and I couldn’t go to an active command.

Bruh I loved FTS. Outside of being stuck stateside. You get stationed in usually big to mid sized cities at some chill ass spots.

Had a friend that was stationed in St. Louis with a seal team. Didnt even know it was a seal team in St. Louis. She said it was random ass hell but she loved it. My homie that did 20 was stationed in J-ville, ATL, Houston, B-Ham, and Detroit. Bruh outside of B-ham and Detroit those was some GOAT spots.

 

[CottonCitySlim]

The Navy Seem chill to me, I got 3 cousins who love it. They made me sad I joined the army over the navy. They coasting to retirement

 

[grYmes]

After a lot of thought and weighing the options.. I’m gonna stay in. It’s just what’s best for me financially at this point. Plus the goal right now is in some form become an officer (either through LDO or some other program). I figure I’m gonna see my way through this shit no matter what. Especially after I get this degree.
