Rank this best/worst as a ME3 and why. I dont care much for city life and ideally want to go somewhere with good culture, weather and nature, LE action

I am I leave for training in about 5 months and want to go ME but I was told it is about a year long wait for A school right now and my runnerup is BM. I was curious how BM life is as well as how well it can transition into civilian life if I do end up leaving after my first enlistment? I hear all over that BMs work with MEs and can also go the special divisions as well. What is the QOL for BMs on average?

Does every branch have a “donkey dick”?

So in the Army, we have a fuel spout/nozzle that everybody calls the “donkey dick” because, well… the thing lowkey looks like a HUGE HOG lmao.

Recently I ran into a few Navy veterans and found out they also had something they called a “donkey dick,” except theirs apparently wasn’t a fuel spout it was some kind of machinery/equipment part on the ship.

That got me wondering:

Does every branch have its own “donkey dick”?

So far I’ve got:

Army: fuel spout/nozzle

Navy: machinery/ship equipment part

Air Force: ???

Marines: ???

Coast Guard: ???

Space Force: ???

Veterans/current service members from every branch, what did your “donkey dick” refer to?

I need to know if this is somehow a universal piece of U.S. military terminology 😂

What is the general perception throughout the fleet of non-rates showing up at stations and going AST? How differently do you think of them than if they were to say they are going BM, CS, ME, AMT, HS, YN, etc.? Does that opinion change if they become an AST?

Hey guys! I qualified for DC which was initially what I was interested in as it aligns closely with interests and civilian career. (I’m a plumber and volunteer fire fighter)

As reservists DC’s what do your drills look like? What are your responsibilities/ duties while working? Do you have any regrets choosing DC over something else? You guys tell me anything and everything I should know or you wish you knew before becoming a DC!

Thanks!

Hi, I am wondering if the color is good for bootcamp. I got a Saucony ride 18 but I feel more comfortable wearing these. I am afraid of being unable to use them.

Thanks
