The lieutenant loots tenants. Lewd tenements? Loot in it. Loo? Ten Ents.
So I’m a SPC Team Leader and my Soldier is being counseled by our section NCOIC for disrespecting a commissioned officer.
We were in the office, and commissioned officer (1LT) comes in and starts chatting with my Soldier. My Soldier is the officers younger cousin (they’re both from Puerto Rico and lived in the same house) and they were having a conversation and my Soldier referred to the officer by his first name, because they’re literally in the same family. I didn’t see an issue with it, they were just chatting and having a good time. Then, our NCOIC comes in and asks the LT why he’s letting him call him by his first name, and the LT replied with “He’s like my younger brother” and the NCOIC references AR 600-20 and starts saying that’s no excuse blah blah blah, keep in mind this NCO should reference AR 600-9 and get in compliance but that’s beyond the point.
Our NCOIC is counseling him and then showing this to our 1SG and CO and I think it’s absolutely stupid to not handle something at the lowest level (even though it wasn’t a problem at all) and now bring an issue up to people when it doesn’t matter.
What can I do to help him out here?
Would they stand in the line of battle? Or would they be in the rear? Did they carry muskets or just a sword?
Barring this, any info related to what their role would be in a typical European army of the era would also help
I was enlisted and always saw the paychecks officers got and wished I was an "O" but I was always was glad I got to get my hands to work and didn't have to deal with meetings all day or sit in an office constantly.
Well then I was an NCO and had to deal with meetings and had less time working in the field.
My kid is showing interest in the Air Force now and of course I want to encourage getting a degree and becoming an officer.
Other than being able to finish after 4 years and wipe your hands of the military for good with all the benefits, I do not know an argument to go enlisted.
One chocolate bar officers doing their course right now and every single day, they are so noisy but I’m just a PTE. How do i tell them to shut up? Also, its always been 2 platoon sharing one toilet. Nice and clean. Now, with them, i see big shit not being flushed and all. Like what the fuck? What to do?
Hello, ROTC cadet here. I am currently pursuing a master's degree and next semester would be my last, and my BOLC wouldn't be happening until sometimes in early 2023. I am looking for a part time job to fill up the gap between commissioning and BOLC. after I get commissioned, should I put commissioned officer in my resume? How is that going to impact the employer's choice knowing that they will have to work with my schedule? On the other hand, would being an officer put me ahead of other competitors? I've interviewed for a part time position in the past, I nailed the interview but they decided to with someone else after I told them I am currently in the military (they didn't tell me that but I am sure that is the reason). I know that USERRA exists but I just want to know from an employer's perspective on hiring a service member.
edit: I should've clarified that I plan to put it in the resume after I commission. This is the fault on my part but I never intended to claim something I've never earned yet.
Hey guys so I was recently selected as a reserve DCO in the CEC reporting to a Seabee unit. Are there any tips you all have for junior officers to be successful? I’m super excited and any and all advice is much appreciated. Thanks!
Was watching some of the commissioning parades online. Everytime the emcee announced the commissioned officers, it goes like "ladies and gentlemen, the commissiiiiiooooooned officeeeeeerrrrrs! in a particular tone. And it sounds like the same voice over different years. Wondering who is the emcee.
Also with Covid and indoor parades, it seems like the officers are less jubilant when they throw their cap or jump. Anyone else noticed too? Or maybe there are instructions not to jump too high?
I enlisted in Mar 2004. I commissioned in Feb 2015. So I had about 11 years enlisted service. I’ll hit my 20 years in about 2 years and want to know if I qualify for officer pension at the end.
I’ve been USAR the whole time and never had a bad year. My officer years probably racked up more points than when I was enlisted, but I commissioned from a SSG.
Do I have to wait until I have a full 10 years commissioned service or would I qualify for officer pension by MAR 2024?
I’m sorry if this was answered on the FAQ page I tried to find an answer to it for 20 minutes but failed. So, context- My girlfriend of over a year and I are very much in love-we’ve both had serious relationships before and know what is a healthy relationship and what isn’t. Needless to say she would be someone I see marrying. However we have no clue how well healthy relationships work in the military. I have applied to USAFA and I would say I have a relatively good chance of being appointed. I have already gotten AFROTC scholarship so my plan b is looking stable. One way or another I will have a path towards commissioning that i will take no matter what.
The problem is I don’t know how often me and my girlfriend can communicate and be in physical presence. Between deployments, tdy’s, and other rolls I would be gone for, what percent of my time would be able to be spent with her? We don’t want to be the naive couple that thinks we can make it and would want to know how hard it would be before I go into service so we both don’t waste our lives being in a doomed relationship.
Tl;dr I plan on commissioning as an officer and my girlfriend and I want to know how much time we would be able see each other.
