Congrats! Also, as a fellow service member, thanks for all you do :).
Service, rank, and station? :)
Air Force, 2nd Lieutenant, Laughlin AFB, TX. Yourself? :)
MADE MY FIRST ARREST!
Sergeant First Class (E-7) beating his wife, and he was drunk.
Woooohhhoooooo, ruined his career.
Bad thing: Damn paperwork.
Army, PV2, Fort Hood, TX, sir!
Great to hear it :). Always good to meet a comrade in arms. Looks like you're pretty fresh out of Basic, too. You've got a great career ahead in a noble profession ^_^.
Also, he damn well should lose his career over it. I and the American public expect better out of our service members.
You sound like a character from Paranoia, a roleplaying game where party conflict is encouraged and ranking up is often due to turning in other citizens for being communists or mutants.

I hope to have your rank in the Army one day! Yes, been out almost two months. 19 week one station unit training at Fort Leonard Wood, MO. 19 weeks of drill sergeants.... it broke me (physically and emotionally) *sigh*
Thanks for your service, to both Hunter and Ruri. :)
You'll definitely have your shot :). I'm not sure how enlisted people get into Officer Training School, but that's something you can easily ask around about. I have a friend going through Army ROTC for one more year before he graduates as a 2nd Lt, and honestly I can't wait because he's been ludicrously rigidly formal around me ever since my commission XD.
And yeah, everyone breaks. That's the point. My Basic was a little different from yours seeing as I didn't enlist, but the intensity was definitely comparable. In the end, they're on your side though. If those sergeants didn't care about your development they wouldn't bother yelling.
You joined when I shipped off to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri (Fort Lost in the Woods, Misery), haha.
Shite still gives me nightmares.
wut, I'm not a member of the service yet. I'm going Marine Corps once I graduate, though. :)

Hunter said:Pretty much for enlisted and warrant, they need to get a bachelors degree in pretty much anything, drop an OCS packet, and wait to get sent to Officer Candidate School in Fort Benning, Georgia. It is pretty much ran by E-6s and E-7s yelling at you and you get commissioned as a 2LT.
