I stayed getting into trouble for **** when I was in camp. I dunno why but I could never remeber anything either. Inspections where the worst for me because they would ask questions as they inspected you.. Lmao, I would just set There .............. Everytime. The idc's liked me tho cus I got **** done! I was the laundry guy, taught them babby kids how to iron, fold, shine boots, make racks. It was amazing to me how many of those guys didn't kno how to do that kinda stuff. Camp ain't what it was then tho. Wasn't no training time outs, hazing was real.. Smh. I used to love whenever we had to step (travel by marching) We wore ski masks with scarfs covering mouth n nose. All you could see was eyes. I felt like I was in the Taliban. I got in some pretty deep **** for peeing while in formation. The ******* religious Po ratted me out smh...all bad.
Kinda miss that madness.
 
I have no clue where that is. Must be in bum duck Egypt.

Edit: Just looked. Anchorage Alaska.

Anchorage Alaska, beautiful base, was there TDY several times, enjoy 
Yeah I've heard the same about Alaska. I heard Washington State is a cool spot to be PCS'ed at also. Not my cup of tea, but a few of my boys are in Whidbey Island and they love it.
 
Anybody here at Elmendorf-Richardson? Just got orders there

I have not been stationed there but I am down the street at Joint Base Lewis-McChord and many of my friends have pcs'd up there and heard it is really nice. I am sure you have heard about the consecutive months of sunlight and darkness. Also I heard they have an amazing sports/fitness complex if you are about that fitness life. good luck!
 
Anyone stationed at Joint Base McGuire Dix-Lakehurst? I just took a special duty at the Expeditionary Center and will be making my way there in a few days.
 
Stationed at JBPHH now PCSing to norfolk on the 18th. Holiday leave will be epic [emoji]128556[/emoji]

Any Army recruiters on here? I'm getting out of AD Air Force and want to check out doing Army National Guard.
 
I was a korean linguist and airborne ISR op in the AF.  Ask away if you have any questions on the job(s), assignment locations, etc...

Peace
 
8 years in the army national guard just got back from opfor training in hosenfels.germany..... looked into tacp in the air guard took the pt test Friday

1 1/2 run 8:53
89 pushups
83 situps
15 pullups
50 pound 4 mile ruck 3943

Next I believe is my physical and ndoc at Lackland anyone in tacp in the airforce?
 
It's possible. He could be a genetic freak or worked extremely hard on his PT test score.

I knew a guy who could run three miles in 15 minutes.

Got a guy right now who was running 3 miles in the 19. Dude started to do Spartan work outs and really tried to work on his run time. He got it down below 18 minutes.

Personally, I'm slow as...

I have been here for 3.5 years. Base is nice. Everything in NJ closes by 11, and you'll have to drive 30+ minutes off base to get to anywhere worth going. Philly is like 40 minutes away, AC is an hour and 15 away, and NY is like 2 hours away by train. I like it here.
