I love my new job

2) I bet if you join, you won't see Afghanistan. So join the navy. See Asian whores.

My cousin in the navy just went back to Afghanistan this week.

Technically he'd still get to see Asian whores, just that they'd be Tajiks or imports.

I'm considering joining the army, but I'm afraid of entering the army clique on Languish.  

Enlisting? Going to college? High school graduate? ROTC? OCS?

I wanted to go MI Warrant but my wife vetoed that as well since I would constantly be deployed.

Should've fired your boss.

I just found out that I can't expect the rest of my full-time staff to arrive until next year at the earliest since the Army is broke.  Furthermore, that second company that will move into my Reserve Center this summer will have no full-time staff for the same reason, so I'll have to run that one as well.

We're also out of money for training, so I can get trained up to use the various tools in managing a Company and a Reserve Facility.

Oh well, lots of extra work, it should at least be interesting.

Question: If you're a Sergeant, Hans, what are you doing running a Company (or now, as you put it, two companies?)  I thought that was a Captain's job.

Since we're Special Ops they are actually run by Majors.

However, since these are reserve Companies the officers are reservists, so they're only available 2 days out of the month.  So I'm the senior full-timer actually running the company and having to make all the decisions.  It helps that we have similar views on what we should do so she defers to me on most issues.  She is an ROTC instructor at Duke in her regular job and that keeps her pretty busy most of the times.

She knows that if she doesnt do has you tell her you will fire her.

One reason why I want to avoid Reserve duty and be activated/mobilized as much as possible. Don't get paid enough for all the extra work that needs to be done. I credit the non-paid hours for retirement points, but that gives me little solace.

Ask her about the quality of cadets they are recruiting these days. I am tired of dealing with cadets that have "moral waivers", cut themselves, and shit themselves drunk on the side of the road, but still get retained by ROTC because the Commander does not want his numbers to look bad.

Normally they're supposed to wait until they make LTC before doing that.

Ok, gotcha.
