It sounds like your situation is a perfect fit for the reserves. I know the feeling of not fitting in and such. I'm on campus now getting my degree/ROTC/waiting on a commissioning and its hard to see how everyone else lives.

I personally like the way hotrex lives. I mean, hes got it made. mom pays his utilities, he has no health insurance, he comes and goes as he pleases, he has his own little place in moms basement, man...whatta life. it must be great to not have a care in the world. :1

We were all there once, we didn't have a care.


rudebwoy do the damn thang if that's what ya feel. I am about to get out in about four monts and I don't think I'll look back and want to get back in, but that's me.

Dade county huh?...........I've been all over the city ended up buying a house in NMB, I still claim the city though, you see the flag I still rep my peeps though.

big up bradda.

I was thinking the same trade, since I have poor vision I cant be infantry or anything that involves battle, I will be enlisting in september for reserves.

Hey man if the military makes you happy, reinlist. Sometimes i feel like i want out, but i think its all about your job. I love what i do. And i don't know what i would do in the civilian world sense i joined when i was 17 and left for 18. Now i just fly around all day in P3's hunting subs and blowing up stuff. Life in the civilian world would be weird if all you know is military.

so it'll be like ur in inactive reserve or something right? my former marine cousin is doin that. when they need him to go he'll go. but he says he'll go after the other reserves.. he's got a fam, the reason why he didnt re-enlist to active duty.. he told me other stuff im still confused about. anyways i think it'd be ok to re-enlist. its just weekends right, and they'd less likey activate you anytime soon i hope.. if none of this dont make sense, my bad im tired..

Seems like you miss it so go for it


I took rotc in high school and hated every second of it but the miltary life works for alot of people

i got out in june, and life is different. i don't think that i would go back unless they asked, but that's me. staying in/going back might be a good idea as long as you like it. putting up with the BS was the biggest thing for me, but after that it's easy.... big decision, good luck....

yeah its innactive, reserve. 1 weekend a month. thing. I will be doing it as a light wheeled vehicle mechanic. hummers, 5 ton trucks etc. when I was active a was a bradley systems mechanic. I had to work on everything, but my specialty was bradley turrets. I love the job but I hated the job. I was always in a infantry unit, wherever they go I go, whatever they do I do, and still have to do my job at the same time, without getting the same benefits or recognition as they do, I got shot at as many times as they do and shoot back as much as they did. but I was just another pog. in their eyes. no bonus, no award. I hated it but I love it. got tired of the politics. reenlistment time came up and I said to reup guy I want to reclass, he said no you are a carreer soldier cant help you so I said bye.
6 months later. missed that ----. most of my friends and civilian co-workers are reserve, so I said give me the number I called the recruiter he showed me the demands, and I say 15000 for being a wheeled mechanic. give me the application. so it benefits me in 2 ways. the need to be in the military, and some money to feed my hobby.
