By playing the system and understanding they want a piss easy job to retire out of.

>Clothing Repair Specialist
IS IT TRUE? can I really join the army to become a battle waifu?

That’s what happens when you fail out of 18x

Where my clothes dawgs at? Can I get a hooah?

No, you go 11a or 11b, or maybe reclass to 68w if you're smart.

If I went to a recruiter and said "I want to join but only if I get to be a battle tailor" would that work?

>11A
>after a washout
Nigger wut, also it's needs of the army now, know a guy that washed out 18x and got forced into being a 14T

92s here
I enlisted in April 18, got a fat benefits package as a reservist.
50k SLRP
20k cash bonus
350/mo MGIB Kicker

I picked it for the benefits and a short AIT, I wanted to get back to my civilian life quickly so that I could go back to school sooner.
Also, they phased out the clothing repair aspect of it years ago.
Out of the ~15 people in my class at AIT, there were only 3 active, the rest were NG/Reserves.

92s is shower and laundry specialist, OPs pic btw

Are you allowed to fuck around with the sewing machines for your own personal projects? I can see it as a way to get a gear company started (as if we needed more) like the more famous parachute riggers.

pic related is the guy who does laundry on a submarine

I wonder if the guy made it out

You're either the only person who was willing to take a bonus for a weird job or you scored high enough for a really niche job.

Met a guy in BLC who was a watercraft operator. Basically manned a little tug for an army shipping yard. And I'm a linguist who failed Spanish in highschool.

This is how Travis Haley started making his slings, first with the magpul ones.

We unironically had our wash guy try and kill himself in Iraq. We caught him with a pistol in his mouth while dropping of our hit and spunk stained undies. Laughed at him and slapped the shit out of him left him a sobbing mess while we headed over to the PX. good times

in the uk we have to do our own washing and cleaning you fat dirty burger.

And yet you’ll get benefits or college points for doing these trivial things. Truly the life of artists is suffering.

One of my good buddies is also a Chap's Ass. Many of you reading this would not beleive the shit he got away with, answering directly to a LtCol who was always elsewhere, as a PFC himself.

>looks comfy desu
>knowingly has to handle rock solid jizz socks from time to time

I have mixed feelings on this.

What is it like doing that, or any other obscure job? I went Corpsman so I’m about as far from obscure as it gets unless you count me being dental.

Not having an ASVAB waiver helps. Those "obscure" jobs usually require scores that aren't borderline retarded.

t. Combat Correspondent, A.K.A. Public Affairs Marine (2005-2009)

And act as their bodyguard in a combat zone because religious officials are classified as noncombatants... and unlike corpsmen and medics they are not allowed to be armed.

What do you actually do in Public Affairs?

I was 12B myself, S3. He was the Chap's Ass of course. Largely, the Chap would be elsewhere, usually offsite. Leaving the PFC to do fuck all. Whenever anyone was looking, he'd keep himself busy with the mechanics. When no one was keeping track of hin, he'd hide out in the TOC with the rest of S3.

As he explained it, he could, in the best of his ability, act as some sort of proxy to the Chap since the LtCol was gone quite a bit. We only had one guy bite the bullet in my time with the unit, but no one caught the signs.

>making sure the conflict altar boys don't run away

>420N - Watermelonium Chemist

He's probably a Boatswain's Mate, A.K.A. he has no rate (no MOS) is he is basically on a permanent working party status.

You're full of shit. I'm not a Multimedia Illustrator, but I trained with them. What school did you go to?

Do grunts actually believe that vets in the military were just assigned that role upon enlistment and not hired because they were already trained as vets? Oh wait...
>Clothing Repair Specialist
You actually think that stitching up clothes is the same thing as stitching up dogs. You're actually that stupid, huh?

Go talk to the RP at the chapel if you're actually a Doc. Greenside or fag?

> You're full of shit
Damn right. It was a hypothetical of worst possible outcome I could come up with.

You're a journalist. I wrote up stories about units training, key wives events, awards, etc. while I was stateside. When I went to Iraq I deployed with an infantry battalion (1/8) and wrote stupid stories about stupid shit we were doing over there. I also had a secondary MOS as a broadcaster. MOS codes were 4341 and 4313. AMA

Yeah, that's not how it works. They spend several months training. Every branch has their own equivalents.

They have admin clerks and grunts who fuck up for stupid shit like you described. Also, from my experience, various shops and leaders submit their information to the adjutant for him to plug into a powerpoint that his admin guys put together.

You seen much combat?

No. I didn't, but we had a quiet deployment with 1 firefight that people turned into "battle"... I was there though, did my part and got my CAR out of it. Other guys have seen more action though and I wish I deployed more than once in 4 years. That part blew.

You're a real comedian

What do you mean?

I saw a little on TV.

>there’s an MOS that makes you work with puppies all day

There was a group of carpenters working the a building near me in Iraq just making furniture and shit all day for anyone who requested a piece. Seemed like a pretty cool skill to learn.

As someone who owns a malinois since she was 12 weeks old, I can tell you that working with that breed when they are puppies is a special kind of hell. Totally worth it, but not the sunshine and rainbows you’re probably hoping for

Be a green card holder and take whatever MOS is available.

The military is a good way to get training like that. If you do it right, you can even go through the process to become a journeyman in the trade and use that after you get out to actually get paid good money. Not bad for four years of your life after high school.

That's what you get faggot

>Chairforce Cop goes to the field once and gets in a verbal altercation with some desk job ninny

Lol

I have a good friend that was in 'Nam during the Tet Offensive. That night NVA crossed the wire of the fire base he was on and he tells a story of a Chaps Ass getting blasted by a dink before the Chaplain grabbed a Thompson smg he kept in his tent "just in case" and wasting the gook. Moral of the story, just because it seems like a cushy job doesn't mean you won't get shot.

>retard joins chair force
>retard can only get tard jobs
>tard job take tard to 'muh field'
>smarter airman shows up in field
>smarter airman isn't wearing gear for the field because he isn't part of tard wrangling op
>tard is butthurt because he sees someone who isn't a tard

I never said it was a cushy job. I worked with RPs when I was in the Marines. That was not me.

Dude it was a weird experience and chairforce brass was trying to show army we can into grunt shit but It was a shit show
A lot of the shit didn't work nobody knew what anyone was doing, we had some old ass miles gear that just went off randomly. The fire dept was armed and shot at a friendly qrf team
The medical personnel didn't bring any real medical gear so people that got hurt for any reason had to be taken to a small town 30mins away

...And that proved that you couldn't hack it with the grunts.

One of my favorites...

I was originally S3 when I arrived to my unit, a few years later they threw me in Command Group, then back to S3. While in command, the Chap's Ass and I are doing jack. We had the bright idea to dip out for a few minutes and raid our training coordinator's wine stash. He was a SFC. The Chap and the training coordinator shared the same cage. So it was super easy to get to. The wine was bottom shelf shit, but we did compinsate by leaving cash on his shelf to buy better shit.

We return to the rest after hiding the wine elsewhere. They didnt even realize we were gone. About 2 hours pass and he coordinator comes barging in to inform everyone that whoever stole his wine had overpaid for it. Everyone was confused as shit, but the two of us damn near lost it.

They shortly made rounds to see who done it. The Chap's Ass was never questioned because he's a good boy. When they got to me, I just said I was woth the Chap's Ass the whole time.

Go away gay faggot POG and never reply to me ever again AIDS Carrier.

That's rough dude. I've seen stuff like this happen a couple times and I always felt bad for the Air Force Joes and junior NCOs that that the brunt end of the Dog and Pony shows.

A POG calling another POG a POG? WTF... check your shit chair force. I think it's pushed in.

I never said or thought we could chairforce brass did. The assignment description was vague as fuck and even the cadre didn't know what the fuck was going on. I asked some one a year later about it who was in the group that was part of planning for the exercise and told me shit was approved and disapproved constantly the plan for it was changed 3 times in the 2 months before the field op

I was pissed because he put a fucking camera really close to my face when I'm supposed to be paying attention
(Pic related is exaggerated but kind of the point )

Had to do laundry duty for a month during deployment. It's easy shit but it's fucking disgusting work. I swore I wouldn't reenlist after I had to fold a grown man's underwear for him because apparently officers can't be fucked to do it themselves. I realized at that point how fucking low on the totum pole of humanity enlisted scrubs are. Never again.

Yeah fuck that dude. He was probably some autistic fuck stick anyways. There's a right way and a wrong way ro do stuff like that. He was obviously wrong.

Everyone hates office fucks. I was superpog being in Public Affairs and I did my best to stay out of the office as much as possible. Shit was gay.

In the case of a malinois puppy, it's fluffy and filled with tiny razor sharp teeth. They looooooove to bite, and can be extremely reactive until you teach them not to be such bundles of literal weaponized autism. They also are fairly susceptible to separation anxiety (as most shepherd dogs can be honestly) and fucking hate being crated at first. Combine all this with the typical puppy issues and trials (needing to go to the bathroom every hour or so during the night, crying in the crate at night, no real bite inhibition at first) and you can be in over your head if you don't have a lot of patience and time to really work with the dog. They also really like to test the boundaries all the time, so you need to be consistent and always on the alert for your dog trying to exploit loopholes. They're like little fucking velociraptors. Insanely smart and loyal dogs, though.
