I Served 25 Years in the Service - And this Asshole is Doing What?????

[High_Gravity]

there's lots i don't know. perhaps all my friends and family in the military just happen to work the easy jobs, maybe they're the exceptions and those that work 18 hour days 7 days a week for 20+ years are the rule.

which makes it odd that when i need an id or something i can't just show up on base any time i want...

What jobs in the Military do your people work?

varies from person to person, branch to branch.

The Military is nothing like working a job as a civilian, and I think your just saying that to get people all riled up.

i am saying exactly what i am saying. while not deployed military members by and large have regular hours and regular schedules just like the rest of us.

pretending that they work every minute of every day for 20+ years is unnecessary to appreciate their sacrifice.

Horse shit - dumbass. Typically, inport, the workday aboard ship is 0600-1800. Add to that three or four section duty.

Those aren't regular hours, asswipe, so STFU

The Military is on call 24/7, your supervisor or any higher up in your chain of command can call you in to work whenever they like, and you don't leave without their say so, yeah that sounds alot of a regular civilian job to me. Tell the truth, your just saying all this to get a rise out of us.

My bet is he knows 2 people who have never left their desks in Personnel or Finance....

During deployment, we worked long hours. But then again, there wasn't a whole lot to do in Antarctica except work.

But when were stateside and the planes went to Lockheed for rework, we were pretty much out the door by 1000 unless you had the duty or training.

 

[SFC Ollie]

Depending upon the Unit and sometimes the time of year my Duty day started at 0500 to 0600 and ended at 1700 to 1800. That would be in garrison if there was nothing special happening. Most of the time if we were in the field it was at a minimum 18 hour days......

The kids tried to add up all the time I was deployed or simply not home over the years, in the 22 years on active duty they figured I was gone for a total of 13 to 14 years of it. But this is a normal job......So we're told........

Even the Personnel and Finance troops are working crazy hours because of the high deployment rates, even the recruiters, which used to be a cush job, are putting in mad hours to meet their requirements, the days of cake walking and skating in the Military are pretty much over.

 

[NLT]

Bet he never deployed in a Tin Can, we worked crazy hours in port and underway. If your systems had a casrep, you worked 24/7 until it was working and back in service.

I hear ya - I guess eight and a half years at sea (for me, out of 25 total) is normal.

Funny how some of the Dems' most vocal advocates are foreigners. Kind of ironic. I'd like to have someone I could support in your country who's trying to bring it down around your ears. That would be hilarious.

You must think Americans are so stupid, and in our looney-left's case you would be right.

I'm a centrist. I don't really like either of your parties or your political system.

No, I think a certain group of right-wing neocon yanks are stupid. And the advocates of such beliefs prove it every day on this board...

And I think a bunch of FOREIGN socialists, Communists and Greens are even more stupid. The difference is, I'm not on a political message board in YOUR countries telling you how to govern yourselves. I couldn't care less about your internal affairs, whether you break yourselves through socialist policies, or let yourselves be overrun by a tide of Muslim immigrants, if that's your choice. As far as I am concerned, you and your respective countries have an absolute right to go to hell in the handbasket of your own choosing. Now, I think it would be nice, if you would accord America and Americans the same damn privilege. You want to treat your own soldiers and vets like dogshit? No wonder you have to rely on us to defend you, if and when the shit really hits the fan! Lecture us on our military and how we handle it, when you can field a force that has not only the skill, but the numbers and the technology, to fight its way out of a wet paper bag!

Your opinion might mean something if the US kept its sticky beak out of other peoples' business. Find it laughable that you seem offended at foreigners are talking about your country and telling it what to do, when it is the chickenhawks from your side of the political spectrum go around the world telling other countries how to run their business.

Oh, and you protect us from Jack Shit.

That aside, there is a difference between being the biggest military and being the best....

It was also your choice...let's not forget that...

Part of the choice was based on the promise of health benefits, Forest.

Let's not forget that.

And I would still be doing it if the body was able. But that isn't the point is it.

once upon a time, your flailing & failing was amusing, now it is very boring.

go eat some lard to feel better about yourself.

"Dammit, I'm superior because I'm European!!"

you are insecure, immature, and last but not leeds, boring.














yes, leeds.

I am actually none of that. But your unmerited arrogance simply won't allow you to believe that an American isn't kissing your ass.

Oh, well.

 

[daveman]

But will pay nothing for the 10 trillion that was there before Obama?
Partisan parrot.

Republican debt bad, Democrat debt good.

Good robot. You serve your masters well, and you will be rewarded.

Actually, you'll be thrown under the bus as soon as your useful idiocy is no longer useful. But you'll be grateful for it.

All debt bad, partisan hacks stupit.

Yes, all debt is bad.

But good luck getting one of you Obamabots to criticize him for it. Like you, for instance.
