Welcome to /r/army

Brand new 36B NCO. Haven't received a counseling in like 4 years and now in charge of new Soldiers. I am reading ATP 6-22.1 for basic knowledge but was wondering if anybody can send me some old templates that i can work with. Not really sure what I'm doing so any help is appreciated.

Hi guys, I came he few months looking for my brother and you helped, I’m back again looking for my friend. I received a message from her mum not too long ago that she hasn’t heard from her a in a while and she’s rightfully worried. I did tell her that she is ok because the army would let her know if anything happened, because I just wanted her to be at ease. She was in Fort Drum, and was prepping to go to Kuwait. She hasn’t heard from her since she left. Last time she messaged me was around July and she hasn’t responded to any of my memes. I can give additional info if anyone can help me.

Only if they lasted a bit longer than getting washed in the laundry a few times. A small, otherwise unnoticeable upgrade to the current PTs with a not shitty logo that peels and cracks like your feet after losing your shower shoes in BCT. It could even be increased in price a little, and it could be chalked up to inflation or some shit. However I’m just some random PFC, so this suggestion will just be lost to time

My husband just told me that he doesn't know if he still wants to be married anymore. After going thru the "not knowing" before and feeling so crushed by it and despite me still fighting for this, trying to get a solution and reassuring - I can't destroy myself like this anymore. I'm just so sad, tired and alone and it sucks to be the only one left fighting and being left in a situation where you don't know if your life's still gonna be the same tomorrow, by someone that you care so deeply about and thought cared about you (at least to not have me go through this rn) as well.. I feel like if you would still wanna be married, you'd know... Right? You wouldn't have to let the other person suffer by not knowing? I just can't wrap my mind around someone just not knowing... To me that already sounds like a no. I would never make someone I care about go through this... I really feel like I'm falling apart.

Enough about me being devastated... I just don't know who to talk to...

I don't have many hopes left after all of this and not hearing "i love you" back and it sucks sm. I love him so so much. This feeling of being pushed away by your love.. Your life is cruel.

What brings me here with this is that he's a soldier. We got married in the states and live in Germany. I'm from here. Is it possible to get divorced without having to go to the states? And I can't believe I'd ever have to say this... I hate this. So so much. I'm crying my eyes out just wanting to be loved by him. And I shouldn't have to ask for this.

We're only legally married there. And he's not gonna care enough to go back for this I believe. I wouldn't either with the financial benefits... But I will obviously be the one to move out and this isn't gonna be easy in itself and on top of that I'm a housewife too.

My family will definitely help me out but he's gonna leave Germany soon and I won't be able to get a hold of him anymore... I don't wanna be married to someone who isn't sure about me anymore. I wanna get over with this before I realize it's actually happening. Which will probably set in tomorrow morning anyways. I'm mourning a person that's still alive.

Can anyone please help with how to get divorced in a different country in the army. If there's specific helplines or lawyers? Thanks <\3

My chain of command is real screwy when it comes to people getting out. (Largely, my 1SG is king crab in the bucket, but I digress). Anyways, your pal here is trying to not get screwed with on the way out. I've got a few questions:

1. How do I aquire terminal leave. Dumbest question upfront but my CO told me I wouldn't be able to take HBL if I want terminal leave. Is it from my aquired leave or due to fact I'm ETSing.
2. I'm shorting my CSP to 40 days to appease my CoC. Legal and my BC already approved it tho. My CO said he's the actual say in CSP. How accurate is this?
3. CIF won't let me clear early...is there an exception around this? The civilians have been ignoring my calls and emails and the "guy" I'm suppose to talk to is never there when I go inn person.

I'll have chili cheese fries and a sprite Plz and Thx.

Posting this on behalf of a soldier in my company. She recently got married to her lomg-term boyfriend and is deploying in 2 weeks. My unit is trying to kick her out of the barracks and told her she need to be fully out in a few days. Neither her or her husband receive BAH. I am curious on how I can help this soldier and if there is any regulation that is opposed to that action?

Hi everyone,

I currently wear the Nike SFB Gen 2 boots, which I absolutely enjoy rucking and running in — it feels like a good pair of running shoes. However, the only con with these are the breaking ‘em in.

What were/are your go-to pair of tactical boots that have generous cushion while still being reasonably light? If you ever owned the Nike pair and experienced other boots, which others would you recommend? Thanks guys 🫡

Any ways to break the contract? I signed a contract and toke my oath and I ship on Tuesday. I’m not tryna go and I made a big mistake is there anything I can do for me not to ship and just break the contract? I talked to my recruiter and he told I have to ship since I toke an oath and signed a contract.

Both claim to work in Kuwait, but I know them taking your money and you actually having reliable service are not always the same thing.

Yes I know wifi pucks are a thing, I’d really rather not do that if I can just have cell service.

BLUF: What’s your story on why you don’t visit home anymore? Also, what year in the military did you realize you were no longer going to put in the effort to go home?

CONTEXT: I’ve seen seeing a lot of stories of service members on social media saying they don’t want to visit family anymore since it seemed like they would be the only ones taking the initiate to visit home. However, their family doesn’t take the initiative to visit them since it’s is a two way street. Also, they stated taking “leave” doesn’t mean you need to go home, you can go on vacation anywhere and be by yourself.

Apparently I’m on the threshold for being kicked out because I joined with 7k of debt, and I’m working on paying it before they take my clearance but in case I don’t repay everything in time can I ever re enlist ? What would the re enlist code be for that

PCSing from Lewis to Moore in December anyone made that drive through the mountain passes during the winter have any tips on a route to take?

Note: my 2 winters in Lewis I haven’t been home and the rest of my career has been in the south or overseas, as an addition I have lived in Florida and Georgia my childhood so snow and mountains are not my forte. Is it feasible to just go south and miss most of the mountain passes?

I ship out on Tuesday and I smoked weed yesterday there’s no way I’m gonna be getting it out of my system any time soon. If I tell my recruiter would I still be forced to go to bct and just end up failing the drug test there? Or will my contract automatically cancel out since I smoked weed once I tell my recruiter?

So Im 28( I know in trying to get in late the game) and vist my local recruiter and I'm trying to get the unicorn job 31k but I'm also thinking about maybe going into 31B or something else. What other jobs do you guys suggest I should keep in mind?

24M here. I'm an active person, I love guns, I want friends and a sense of comradery, I scored an 89 on the ASVAB but I'm unsure about where to start. Any tips or advice?

I am currently a LTC (over 3 years) and a surgeon in army with 15 years in for ADSO which is up. Im thinking about transitioning to reserves to finish out my time. Anyone in similar position. Im either just going to leave and cut ties and go to reserves to get to 20.

Anyone want to get rid of Medium regular summer OCP bottoms in exchange for Medium long?

I have 2 pair that have been worn once and other has the tags still on.

Any takers to swap similar used items

Time to enter the era where you get to work when the sun is down, and get off work when the sun is down. No more vitamin D, seasonal depression here we come!

(Jk, as a staff in DIV I’m stuck in a windowless SCIF anyways 🤷‍♀️)

Does anybody have any suggestions on the cheapest/best way to attend graduation? It's at fort Moore.

I was told I can't become a warrant officer out the gate but that after a few years of being in I could be essentially grandfathered in and the dui wouldn't matter. What's the likelihood of me being able to become a warrant officer pilot with that prior dui conviction? Any thoughts appreciated, and above all honesty. Even if it's telling me I'm a fool to even consider something like that would be available to me. My recruiter can't really give me an answer because he doesn't know. Edit because I didn't include a branch—talking about Army

Just looking for information as a “13m” how many college hours and for what classes will I see on my jst, currently an 11b and have 27, just wondering if I will get more!!!’

Long story short, it was a quick notice that i am going to attend blc but didn’t study anything.

Am I cooked?

Can i get a 20 piece mc nuggies and large Dr.pebba

Is anyone else's army email search not working?

Does anyone know of a good online CSP/Skillbridge? I am oconus and would like to save money by doing the internship here. I already have my post army job lined up so I am down for any internship. I just want to be “done” with my unit as soon as possible.

Plus CSP while oconus seems nice due to being on leave. I can get traveling done on my weekends.

I am still looking for something myself I just didn’t know if anyone had recommendations. Thank you!

 Haven’t been to bootcamp yet. I just got my first drill pay last Wednesday. Got my first CAC last Friday and I haven’t been able to login anything else on personal computer. Is it because I’m basically new so I don’t have any certificates on my CAC and I can’t login to anything?  I downloaded the installroot thingy also but doesn’t help. Thank You

Is there a way to have my base pay, bah, and bas automatically separated into different bank accounts when I get paid?

What should I expect at my time in Colorado, been told ill most likely be a bradley driver. Also been told its the worst unit to be stationed at. Any tips to survive?

Back in 2011, I got injured in basic training. I needed 12 stitches in my mouth, and broke my front tooth.

Well, last week, the cap on my tooth fell off. I was a reservist and didn't have enough active duty hours to receive VA benefits.

But considering it was a duty related injury, is the army obligated to fix it again? And if they are, who do I contact?

I still have all of my dental records.

Title.

Reason for asking: Wanting some stability in my life. Signing a 4 year contract to serve kinda forces that to happen.

Background: Line Cook experience out the ass (none of it is fast food either), wanting to get into IT, have some basic certs, have knowledge since I was 15 (soon to be 28), and well simply put without even an associates degree most IT jobs don't look twice at me since my job background isn't in the IT sphere at all.

Thanks much.
