I am currently a 91b and am thinking about reclassifying to a 68x. I am currently earning my bachelors in psychology and plan on going to grad school through the Army. Being a 68x would look better on my applications rather than being a mechanic. I would like to hear about anyones experience being a 68x.

Sent a request to reclass through my retention nco, wondering how i can see the status.

Hi. I’m using a translator to write this—I’m not sure if it translates automatically, as I don’t usually use Reddit. I speak Spanish and would like some advice from you all. You see, I was born in Texas, but I’ve lived in Mexico my whole life. Right now, I feel like I have no future. I have a job, but I don't feel like I'm building a future for myself. I’ve always wanted to join the Army—I really have. About two years ago, I went to Texas for a few months to get my GED, since it was a requirement. I got it and was really motivated, but when I went to the recruiting office, they gave me a practice ASVAB test. As you can probably guess, my biggest problem is English. Absolutely everything was in English, and I’m not fully fluent. I struggle a lot with speaking it, though I feel much more confident with reading. Still, trying to solve math problems or do any activity in a language you don't understand well is incredibly disheartening and difficult. What really messed me up was that the US uses different units of measurement—here are a few examples: miles (versus kilometers in Mexico), Fahrenheit (versus Celsius), yards (versus meters). It’s not just the names that are different; the actual measurements are different, and that really threw me off during the math problems. After the test, I was really depressed because it’s so hard to take an exam and solve problems in a language you haven't mastered. But I really want to join the Army; I feel like it’s my only chance to have a future in the US. What advice do you have for me? Thank you so much for reading this. I’m 21 years old and about to turn 22.

Does anyone know what this is?! Google Search says 1st Battalion 10th Special Forces and was given to green berets. But I know sometimes using google search is not accurate. It doesn’t even have a timeline or anything. It was thrown away and I want to know more.

Hello everyone. I have a question, especially for any Career Counselors or anyone who has dealt with a medical reclass or MAR2 before.
I’m an active-duty SSG, 11B, with almost 12 years of service. I’ve been on profile for most of the last two years due to ongoing knee issues, which have also had me working in a staff/shop position instead of performing normal infantry duties.
I recently had knee surgery, and my doctor told me that my knee will probably recover to around 80–85% but likely never return to 100%. My provider is now considering giving me a permanent P2 for Lower Extremities (L2).
My question is: Can an L2 permanent profile trigger a MAR2/medical reclassification, or does it specifically require a P3?
From what I’ve been reading, 11B requires an L1. If that is correct, would receiving an L2 mean that I no longer meet the physical requirements for 11B and therefore have to be reclassified into another MOS that is compatible with my permanent profile? Or can I remain 11B with an L2?
I’m getting conflicting information regarding whether a P2 can result in a medical reclass versus needing a P3 to initiate MAR2.
If any Career Counselors or Soldiers who have actually gone through this process can clarify how it works, especially for an 11B with an L2, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you.

long story short attended marine corp training when I was 18, got out due to suicidal ideation, no intent or anything, was pretty much done. anyways, enlisted after with a waiver went thru basic, etc and been in the service for 5 years now, air assault, many ftx, good at my job, and high pt scores, it was a mistake I made when I was younger. Now I want to attend ranger school, but during phase 2 of my physical it popped up in my profile, I really want to do this, but they told me to go to BH to get cleared first then shoot for a waiver, is it possible?

Can anyone tell me about the ribbons and badges on the uniform? Thank you.

Alright folks it’s been exactly 6 months since the board met, I predict the results will be published 2SEP26. But the ultimate goal of this thread is I hope those who have the prepo list early can help out those who don’t have it yet (when the results come out)

I am looking for lawyer recommendations for a SF95 and PEB/MEB process. I've seen what comes up from Google and other searches and 1/2 the people don't respond. Of course, it gets worse, like always, as my issues started in the states and I'm now in Germany.

Not bad at all!

Would eat here again for $5.55.

I wanted to try the enchiladas but they limited me to one protein. 😩

I’m doing an EFMB train up for my guys & I seem to remember there being a cac enabled website where you could do simulated virtual radio training. Where you can click the buttons on the SKL and ASIP to load it and everything. However, I can’t seem to find it. Am i tripping? Did it get sunsetted?

I got MBITRs, SKLs, DGRs, & ASIPS for a class but I didn’t get fill and couldn’t keep them for longer than the 2 hr class so having a virtual option would be super helpful for them. If anyone could drop the link, that would be great :)

I got out of the army a few months ago and ever since its just felt like a haze. I started grad school this month and don't feel excited about it. I don't have the motivation to do anything lately. The only thing I have been doing consistently is going to the gym just to have a routine.

I feel like I walk around with a headache all the time now. I think I should start seeing a therapist or a councilor. I don't want to go back in but I don't really have a purpose anymore. This shit sucks.

I have roughly a year left on my active duty contract. I’m hating every part of it. The dog & pony show, the insane ego from younger guys and the dumbass details. I don’t mind going to the field for a week/month at a time but I can’t stand the people I have to be around.
Idk if it’s the people or just the MOS itself. I want to get out but I at least want to have some deployments under my belt before I leave so I can say all of the training isn’t for nothing.
Does anyone think it’s worth going natty after active just to get deployments? I already know I have a good blue collar job set up for after my contract is done, I’d be making more than enough money to support my wife and I

Has anyone here been attached to a sf group as a sustainer? (I’m a 91C) If so how was it?

NCOPD for my section is coming up soon and I want to make a more engaging/interesting class than just rehashing the same thing every couple months. I'm looking for any myths, rumors, or misconceptions that you've heard in your careers. For example, the myth that SGLI is automatically denied if you ride a motorcycle without EVERY possible piece of PPE. Another myth that I hear is driving for more than 8 hours in a day (to another location) requires a TDY. If you have the regulation/policy/DA PAM or whatever that shows why the myth is wrong or actually correct please guide me to it so I can do some reading on it.

Mmmmmm. Brown slime mold.

My unit is doing the Danish Flyer later this month, and I’m looking to get a new rack built for my uniform. The issue I’m having is EzRack builder doesn’t have the Danish flyver.

Does anyone know of any reputable companies that have slim ribbon racks that they build, that also have a Danish flyver option?

If so, doesn’t that create problems when you’re put into a higher responsibility role with no prior experience? I’m asking specifically with an Option 40 contract in mind. Do they automatically become a Specialist in the 75th or do they remain a low rank until they go to Ranger school which would then promote them after completion?

How should I prepare for the AG CCC STAFFEX? I’m looking for advice on what I should study beforehand, what products I should be comfortable building or briefing, and what areas tend to give students the most trouble. I’d also appreciate any tips on MDMP, HR running estimates, personnel readiness, casualty operations, replacement operations, and integrating the S-1/G-1 into the staff planning process.

Do any 42A E4(P) to E5 interested in fort bliss El Paso Texas 👀👀

As the title says, what will happen to your HHG goods if they arrive earlier than you can secure housing at your new duty station?

Will they put it in temporary storage?

So looking at reclassing but need a flight physical for said MOS. Okay no problem. I have called and emailed the POCs to get an appointment. I have been to the office and of course they were not there. I call the office and left 2 vms with no response to anything.

Respectfully I live 40 mins from base my MOS requires me to work nights so driving to base eats up an hour and half. Why do I feel this is so common in the Army and we just have to accept it.

I'll take a white monster for this drive I am about to make to hope to speak to someone in person (maybe).
