In 2014, we had AT in Fort Bragg with a Army Petroleum unit that did NOT follow the tradition of letting their lower ranking personnel eat first. I’m sure most Army units follow tradition, but I can say from experience not all of them do. As for the negative comments labeling me as a POG reservist, I honestly don’t care... I don’t claim to be anything I’m not. I make these videos to inform others.- everyone is entitled to their own opinion and comments. But let’s try to keep this positive. As military members (reservists or active) we’re supposed to maintain a certain level of professionalism. Let’s not forget that when we’re making public comments on behalf of a KZitem account :)

What unit at Bragg was this? I was stationed at Bragg from 2008 til just last year when I got out. I'm still in NC too, decided to stay here. Every unit I was in or ever visited made name sure lower enlisted ate first because they needed more fuel and food first.

Rodney Horsley can’t remember but it was an Army Petroleum unit that trained with 6th ESB Marines at Bragg in summer of 14. Will never forget because they were responsible for bringing the fuel but that never happened for whatever reason so we (6th ESB) improvised and trained with water instead... they did bring the field shower facilities though! Didn’t even know that was a thing but I was sure thankful for those guys :)

mcguirej869 we did a joint training exercise with an Army unit and during chow it was first come, first serve for them.

I had a combat instructor in ITB who reminded everyone who bragged about being active (there were a lot of reservists in the training cycle) that our Secretary of Defense, Ret. Gen James Mattis, started out as a reservist. He also mentioned how he deployed with reservist Marines and trusted them with his life and could depend on them. Semper Fi.

I’m doing 0311 Marine Reserves or Active duty 03xx but considering we’re not at war atm I’m leaning heavily toward reserves (and my reserve unit has had some recent Afghan deployments which I may get to go in). How does choosing your mos work for the reserves? I heard you could directly select a mos like 0311 instead of the field 03xx. How does choosing your mos work for the reserves? And what gear do you get from your reserve unit ? Such as plate carrier and backpack Also do you think I’ll have a problem getting 0311 for my reserve unit? I heard there has to be a slot open to get it. My reserve unit in my state is 1st Battalion 24th Marines Infantry Battalion. There’s 3 of the 5 companies in my state ( HQ & Service, Alpha and Charlie are in my state and the weapons and Bravo is in surrounding states). One of my fears of doing 03xx is getting selected to be something other than 11 or 31. 41 doesn’t interest me at all.

Can you expand a little bit on the EGA distribution to recruits after finishing crucible? We didn't have any of that when I was in. We didn't call it a crucible, we weren't issued EGA, only were considered a Marine after graduation, and we left that same day. No MCT after boot camp. Is this EGA that seems like somewhat large, is it symbolic? Is it wearable? Only EGA I remember was the one that went on our Mickey Mouse covers. And can I get one somewhere?

Rest assured, you will find that they are mostly interesting people with their own backstory and life story as to why they are doing what they do. If you want to join the military, however, you should be less concerned with hanging out with people your age and be more concerned if the people you are with will do their job right when 💩 gets real.

The Drama Club reserves contracts are usually 8 total years: 6 years on and 2 years off. During the 2 years off, the military can technically call you back, but that rarely ever happens. They just call once a year and check up on you since you're still entitled to benefits during this time. After you serve your entire contract, you are officially separated from the military and they can not call you back. Hope that helps!
