So, how is it thr DoDs fault that they can't control how the VA is.
No matter what the DoD does it won't change the VA.
It takes congress to do that....
Okay...but like i said.
i still get paid my base pay and even if i do lose BAH and BAS, whoch may not even happen if a ahutdown happend.
i can not be put into debt by any party because of it.
almost like I get a "I ain't getting paid so neither do you"
So that does hurt landlords that are renting from military....
That isn't at all how that works because guess what.
You don't have to take your family for one. And for two, you are given options most of the time.
Unless you specifically go needs of the Army, you arnt uprooted on the militaries whim. It's when you have been there for a long while and are often seeking to relocate.
There have been people in my unit for over 5 to 6 years....
I have been here for nearly three....
It's called DA salect for the Army. But every branch has it. Due to your NCOERs and or your branch, you are put on orders to be recruiters.
You do that for a few years and stay in some nice or horrible areas.
You are often given half a year to PCS.
The whole thing with families, is because of systems not being updated, families not being known about.
You just let them know get it amended and then boom.
Family comes woth.
The recruitment ads are not a congress thing...it's a Branch PR thing.
They are like everyone who advertises.
You make some bad ones, make some good ones. And adjust.....
And being a civie eith military family isnt the same. My wife is a civie and i talk to her about army stuff all the time but she doesnt understand any of it. But people like
@Spartan303 @The Whispering Monk and
@Tiamat Being a few, can help mke the point that therebis stkll a diffrence from being in it.
why do you think the SECARM is disliked by the soldiers. Because she has no military experience...
The reasons those ads arnt run...
Is because it would get no one to join.
do you know one of the first things you learn in the military? If things are going slow or not getting done.
go to congress. The whole Vanessa Guiane thing? That is how that happend....
And all ranks are supposed to be politically neutral. Even the highest.
and if the president was willing to charge any of them or congress was willing to charge any with treason. They can.....
I mean, I don't obey or trust politicians. Unless you mean the president, then I only have to do what he says if it isn't immoral, illegal, or unethical. No Congresscritter controls the military.
And guess what.
How much money does it take to go on a vacation in Europe for three years? As well as never having to pay rent, electric, or suffer from German laws? How about having unlimited access to American goods without having to ship it over seas?
I am getting paid...around 1500 a month to live in a foreign country, for free.
Does your office hob send you into the field to train and make sure you are ready for war? Have you been in mud above your ankles setting up cables and antennas?
Hundred degree weather with no access to AC?
shitty housing is the biggest issue, and even then, people make the most of it and find way to enjoy.
working though? Very few jobs will ever have the same working conditions as the military, because very few jobs in the military, especially Army and Marines, will have you NOT outside in the field...
You have no idea what it takes to get that military you want to have.
Are DEI and woke things hurting the military? Yes.
Yet the Marines have exceeded numbers.
It is literally all about the ads and the culture.
Marines have the worse barracks, yet again, high retention.
Woke is hurtinf but not in the way you think, at least not at a large amount.
the new ads help the army a lot because it shows what the army really is. A life that is gonna be full of suck and fun.
embrace the suck because it pays off.
I want to ask.
What about our infantry, Armor, and our combat arms screams not gonna work?
our Pilots?
our marines?
navy you may have a point but again, need evidence.
because a supply clerk doesn't need to be a muscle bound corn fed guy.
Neithwr does your dental assistant, or your IT person.
look at the actual demographics and not just jump on "WOKE BULLSHIT!". Yes we have woke issues, but it isn't as bad as people seem to think.
It is because we are actually preparing for war. Just because horrible PR gets out doesn't mean we arnt getting ready.
We go to our congresscritters and to thr IG. All we can do.
You mean the civlian leadership that is forcing this upon the military?
yes there are generals who may be showing jt, but you dont see generals pushing these wide spread things. Its the civulians doing it.
civilians are the reason for politics in the military.
let us fucking lead ourselves.
except it isn't? Did you even see the whole ad.
It showed more then just white guys there....
Plus there are most likely white Hispanics on that bird eith hoe many Hispanics are in the army.
But hey, what do I know.
It isn't like I see the average ratio on a military base every fucking day.....
Also, look at all the new army ads. Diverse but not forcing the aspect of "you have to be diverse to be in".
just showing everyday life in the army for the most part.
I hate to defend the abortion thing because I despise it.
But the DoD isn't in the realm of depopulation outside of the abortion issue.
If they were, we wouldn't be investing in making war safer for the service members.
We would be investing in waves like the Russians.
they arnt trying to depopulte it.
like fucking hell.
understand that life in the military has none of these ideals getting pushed and stop sucking off the political moves of bith sides demoralizing you.
Hahahahaha. Tell that to Amazon....
Hahahahaha. Tell that to Apple (Foxxcon) Amazon, Walmart....
You do know that contractors are heavily used by the military? And the reading you can't have self employed in the military is because the government has to trust you won't bail the second they need your services.
Explain this depopulation thing..is it the abortion thing?
If so, that is because of the leftist policies and claiming that it is depopulation of the recruiting base is stupid.
It is depopulation mainly of the black community do to thier rampant use of it.
I don't agree with the military allowing it.
But I don't even think the women's clinic on my base can do them
