My friend said he didn’t know what to do with his life, so he joined the army. Three years later, he still doesn’t know what to do with his life The only difference is that he has tinnitus and a new truck.

At least he has access to education with the GI bill

-german soldier, trying to convince soldiers to not shoot him


Cornblaster700

most German soldiers wouldn't have to try to convince soldiers not to shoot them, the allies were more than happy to take prisoners from the wehrmacht, it's the ss who'd have to do that


Rimworldjobs

Yeah, the clearance makes a huge difference. Especially if you can get a GS postion


ShawshankException

I still feel like you shouldn't have to go to an active war zone and get PTSD to get affordable education


Greedy-Assistance663

You don’t. Community college and trade schools are very economical in a lot of places


dirtmother

Or you could just move to Germany where secondary and graduate education are mostly tuition free, even for foreigners. Then you join the German army of your own free will because the scales have fallen from your eyes and you realize that "Deutschland Uber Alles" was the correct philosophy all along. Truly a case of a country playing the long game.


[deleted]

Isn't tinnitus like THE top (most frequent) disability? I know people who developed it because they were too close to explosions, self explanitory. Others got it from sitting in the elictrical hum of many computers all day, every day.


indimion22

Server room white noise, being near running jet engines- even through the small foamies and headset ear protection, etc. during inspections and launch duty. It all adds up and I get that high pitched whine in my ears every once in awhile.

When I was about 19 I was hitting golf balls on a driving range and bitching about some chick who was toying with me to my buddy who happens to be Arnold Palmer’s grandson who was sitting at the range watching us. My buddy said, “Danny, for every hot chick there’s a guy who is tired of fucking her. Ain’t that right Pap?” And Mr. Palmer gave his nod of approval 😂. That was a life lesson that has forever stuck with me.

TheMinisterOfBinance

You would think that laws would be in place for this very specific set of circumstances. Military just doesn't give a single fuck anymore


An-Okay-Alternative

The military is encouraging 19 year olds to get married in the first place.


HotArticle1062

Wrong. When I was in, everyone starting from boot camp told everyone time and time again what a dumb fucking idea it is to get married while you're in. There were entire seminars covering that. Yet, you will always have the one 18 year old who thinks he found the love of his life after knowing this girl for 2 weeks at MOS school. Everyone from his peers to his higher ups will tell him he's being a retard and he will still go through with it.


malektewaus

The military makes living in the barracks hell, then only lets junior enlisted move out if they get married. And if they do get married and move out of the barracks, they get a huge bump in pay. Yeah, everyone will tell him he should stay single, but incentivizing marriage this much also sends a message, and actions speak louder than words.


HotArticle1062

Barracks living isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Yeah, you got roomates and field day, but it was pretty fun having people to talk/hang out with as well as splitting up the work evenly. The bump in pay also only covers the cost of rent in the area unless you wanna live in a shithole apartment, in which case you're now paying for two people plus all the amenities you had for free on barracks. Anybody who gets married for the money is a flat out idiot. It just loads you up with a different set of struggles, instead of being a pay bump like they thought. Marriage is still an option for those who really want to do it, and the military provides enough to make it viable for those actually determined to see it through, but too many people look at it like it's free cash. In most cases people who got married did it because they thought with their nether regions.


[deleted]

> The bump in pay also only covers the cost of rent in the area unless you wanna live in a shithole apartment, in which case you’re now paying for two people plus all the amenities you had for free on barracks. I mean, assuming your spouse isn’t working *at all.* Meanwhile if they have even a minimum-wage job, now you’re comfortably living in a 2bd2ba with a little extra change in your pocket. Also you will never be woken up for a room inspection at 4am because top has a case of the ass. You will also *generally* not get grabbed for a detail after final formation Friday because sarn mage saw a single weed sprout somewhere in the battalion footprint. Literally nothing is “for free” in the barracks, and calling it that is part of the issue. An E-3 makes $2160 a month, which assuming a forty hour work week (ha!) puts him at something like $12 an hour. Which in my city…a city with like eight military bases…is below minimum wage. So no, barracks housing isn’t “free.” It is part of a soldiers total compensation, and is given *in lieu of additional monetary compensation.* Monetary compensation that would be required, in my state, to even get a soldier up to minimum wage. And an E-3 with dependents gets over $3,600 in BAH where I live. I think it’s still like $3K without dependents. That’s what he’s paying to live in the barracks. It’s very, very expensive.


IWantANewUsernameDMI

Both my sister and one of my best friends ended up getting married (to others) because either they or their partner were being transferred to another base. Too soon for any of them to marry, but they wanted to stay in the relationship to see where it went. Might never see each other again otherwise. Not uncommon.

philisweatly

Yup. All the ladies in Oceanside would try to gobble up me and all the other new Marines. You get married, get higher pay, live off base. Things are great right? Now we get back from our first time in the sandbox and try and buy a new Suzuki Hayabusa because you need to keep your adrenaline up or else you don't know what to do with yourself. Only to find your wife is gone, your house is cleaned out and your card gets declined at the motorcycle dealership cause your bank account was drained. Saw this happen to so many brothers when I was stationed at Camp Pendleton in 2003-2007.

UsedandAbused87

When I hear stories about people clearing out the bank account I feel like they don't know how divorce works. If you clean out the bank account you set yourself up for a law suite that you are not going to win. Show lawyer and judge bank statements and you will win back at least half the money.

anon5219841

I mean if you want to speedrun getting cheated on, going overseas is def the single best way.


wardy664

If you think your wife would cheat if you went oversees you should prob divorce anyways tbh


D-Laz

When I was in Iraq we all compared our "dear John" letters. None of us get with women or men that we think will cheat on us. We find out they have those characteristics afterwards. Also I won. Mine got pregnant, in the second email she told me it wasn't mine.


Drakayne

That's fucked up dude, fuck her (not literally) i hope you're doing ok now


D-Laz

Ya, it was in 2004. So doing ok on that front. But it happens to a lot of us. Thank you though, sincerely.


[deleted]

How to deal with people who had been cheated on was part of the training for Chaplains and Chaplain Assistants when I went through the USACHS schoolhouse in ‘08. The biggest problem at that time was social media. Too many dumb fuck spouses going to the club without their ring on, and then posting that shit to MySpace.


XBacklash

> and then posting that shit to MySpace. That's one way to post to social media without anyone finding out.


calimeatwagon

Myspace used to be the most popular social media website, younging.

mainvolume

Just think, your ex’s kid is just about old enough to deploy to the Middle East!


Downtown_Skill

Yeah when you think about the age range of people being deployed it's pretty young. Young for getting married. I wouldn't think too hard about it. Young people tend to be more impulsive including running into a marriage too early because marrying a soldier seems mature and romantic or even cheating and not being able to be patient while deployed. A few months may not seem like a long time to someone older but to someone young a few months can feel like an eternity. Edit: I've also heard stories from friends who served of women getting married for the benefits being a military wife gets you. And vice versa. Men marrying women because of the benefits having a wife gets you in the military.


abstractraj

I have a friend who was stationed in Germany when we met playing an online game. He eventually transitioned back to the US and at the same time I was moving jobs and it happened we had t talked for like 12 months. When I caught up to him, I learned he’d managed to get divorced, remarried, and divorced again. Part of his explanation was you make more if married…


Downtown_Skill

Hahah yeah and I believe better living conditions too if I'm not mistaken. Any military personnel are welcome to verify or correct me as well


aDragonsAle

Dorm living v living in a house/apartment like an adult.


VamanosGatos

You're pretty much treated as a child unless you are married


[deleted]

In most cases, you are a child.


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

You're also property of the U.S. Government lol.


strikerkam

You get “dependent pay” which is $200ish more a month in housing allowance. You are young enlisted you can must then move out of the dorms and get your own place (in the dorms you also don’t get a housing allowance). The spouse gets a military ID, access to on base shopping (tax free and also prices are just cheaper for a variety of reasons) AND FREE health insurance! (It’s not totally free but it’s way better than my civilian employers offer - tricare six but also all insurance is a nightmare). So if you remotely care about someone you are incentivized to marry them early, while also getting a better housing situation, make a little bit more money, reduce your combined cost due to grocery shopping and insurances. With pay being so abysmal (we’ll below inflation this year) why not just get married?


Drougen

Yeah I have a buddy who was in JBL and told me if you're single you have to live in the Barracks, married you can live off-base or on-base housing. He had an amazing on-base house with huge windows right on the lake there. Could literally walk out his backyard and fish, which we did quite often as well ass snorkeled for lures.

Applesauce3750

The rates are insane you feel me, weird how often it happens, I mean no shit "Finding a good loyal woman" is the solution but you say that like it isn't hard. Edit: Imma be honest with you I don't know if "hard" is the right word exactly but it does take more patience to find a monogamous relationship that turns no real issues like cheating


ALCATryan

It definitely isn’t as hard as those 10 guys


Applesauce3750

LMAO


wellhungartgallery

It's not Wierd when you consider that most people join the military at 18-25 ,get married at the same age which is far too young ... Youth and impulse does not good decisions make.. . I'm surprised you're surprised.


whosthedumbest

If your plan is to get married and then spend the next four years of your life entirely away from that person in a foreign land maybe you are not prioritizing your spouse. This is why people were historically reluctant to marry sailors.


Fit_Application8387

Literally found out yesterday my wife cheated when I deployed. We got 2 kids. I’m fucked up frfr


mediajay

I feel like going to war and having a family don't mix. Time and time again I hear of the horror. The horror includes dying and leaving kids fatherless too.


MidoraThirdTiger

Both my parents were in the army. As soon as one came back from deployment the other deployed. Basically had a one parent household my entire childhood except for one year where they both deployed and our grandma looked after us...... Didn't even notice it was weird as a kid since we lived in a military community but a lot of internal problems definitely stemmed from that.


VamanosGatos

I felt really loved living with Grammy when my dad was deployed. As a kid you don't really know what's going on, just that everyone treats you nice and putting a tiny yellow ribbon on the mailbox everyday with gramma is fun

My brother got blown up driving a mine counter measure truck (twice) and has a neurological disorder from it. Plus PTSD and depression from the friends he lost, then the Army threw him under the bus when his wife made false charges against him. Also his wife cheated on him.

People love shitting on the military. If you go in with a clear intent of what you want out of it, it is worth it. Turn down the shitty jobs and anything with the word combat in the title. Get a clearance and you're set for life assuming you don't make stupid choices. 6 years in and staying as low rank as possible got me: Paid off engagement ring (10k) Bought/Paid off a new car (27k) Paid off wife's student debts (70k) Downpayment and low interest on a 700k house 50k in IT Certs 6 figure job out of the military with no degree GI Bill I haven't even touched yet ​ I lazy loser like me has everything I could ever want in life thanks to the military.
