    The Army runs on paperwork. Don’t ever throw away any paperwork you receive while in the Army. It will be that one piece of paper that will enable you to secure a VA home loan, get money for school, or a degree of disability from the VA. My dad kept everything for decades after he retired from 30 years in-service.

    Fort Drum was my first duty station. I didn't appreciate it at the time, but I do now. Fort Hood was my second station, which I was excited about because I'm from Texas, but it wasn't that great in hindsight. Drum is beautiful.

      Ft. Hood was definitely not the best place in my opinion for the first duty station. Met great people in my unit, but the leadership wasn't the greatest. My unit had a amazing CSM who redeemed my faith until I ETSd. Wish I'd have gone somewhere else first however 💯

    I"ve already been in for almost three years (Guard) but, I'm looking to try and transfer to Active Duty. Given my MOS (74D), I'm hoping to go OCONUS to Korea where a lot of my AIT buddies are currently at. I know the chance is probably slim, but everyone I've talked to who has been stationed there have loved it.

    Hey, so I’m debating about going to the army. I wanted to join for benefit purposes I want my MOS to be 68e. The only thing I’m nervous about is if I will have to fight. If I will become a 68e is there a possibility that I may have to fight if we go to war?

      You’re a soldier first so there’s always a chance of you fighting… but now the reality is that the chance is really insignificant you will mainly be doing your job especially as a 68E

      What is the 68e? Do they show the MOS on the Army website?

      68E is dental assistant and no if war broke out you as a 68E would never in the light of day see combat or be any where near it lol
