| If you plan on joining the military at all... Plan on being shipped out to Iraq or Afghanistan. Don't even worry your head about that. Once you signed the papers you are bound for:
Living in a room that's about 8 cubic feet wide and long. Sitting at a computer thinking about what you want to do next. Insane pricings on internet 11 channels of TV Awful food The flies OH MY GOD THE FLIES Just two weeks of vacation (if you're going Air Force fuck that thought you're going to be there for 6 months so GTF Over it and suck it up. You get no leave) If your navy... you get picked on a ton for being a sailor in the desert Contractors and Ugandans every where. The threat of being bombed and mortared a lot. Lots of paper work. In fact when you join, you sign what feels like 300 pages of papers. So be ready. =P |

| Oddly and thankfully enough, my nephew has been in four three years and the closest he has gotten to either place was Bahrain. Lucky Navy placement I guess. | |||

Originally posted by Lord Xeusalexanders VII To be quite honest it deals with what unit you go with. When I got out of AIT I was notified my unit was shipping out. They let me stay behind because I just got back home. Then 3 years later, another unit in the same batalion was being shipped out. They set me up with that unit to reclass me to 88M a truck driver. However. I called USARC and the Public Affairs Officer calls me up and says I can go as a 25R video technician. I was ECSTATIC. 4 months later I got orders to join in with that unit and then I had shipped out in December. To be honest your first three months on mobilization is spent in your mobilization station. You are then sent out to your duty station and stay for the rest of the deployment. It may be 15 months long, but it's really just 12 months OCONUS. |
