I made 800 back in 2001. About what I'm would make at McDonalds. Big pay bumps came fast after OEF/OIF

I did a year when I got recalled in 2008. We stopped at a grocery store on our way back from their annual training and I went off on one of the boots in jest about how much he made compared the when I was a boot in front of the whole store.

I'm not really sure, this coming week will be two weeks for him. I'll find out later.

 

[rags747]

Is he looking forward to going overseas to any of the potential hot spots?

 

[Hardline]

I'm glad it was renamed Ft.Bragg again.

Like I said, this coming week will only be his second week in the Army. Once he goes Airborne then I might be able to answer your question.

I did my Ranger training at Fort Benning, Georgia.

sneaky way they did it. I do agree if you are going to name a fort after someone, make them good at being a soldier. Bragg was a lousy general.

Fort Liberty, North Carolina, was renamed back to Fort Bragg on March 7, 2025. This change, while returning to the original name, now honors Army Pfc. Roland L. Bragg, a World War II hero, rather than Confederate General Braxton Bragg.

Sorry for your hurt feelings…

You can still pay tribute to your heroes at your townie militia cosplays.

 

[Hardline]

The militias helped win the revolutionary war .if not for them you would be speaking the Queens English. Both my grandfathers served in WWII .One in the Army, His ship survived kamikazes to take him to the south Pacific where he survived Japanese snipers. One in the Navy shipped out of Pearl Harbor a month before December 7th. They are my heros.
