    Oh gentlemen
    Old corps vs new corps
    When I went to war the taliban were 9’ tall and spew acid out of the mouths. Save it for the lunch counter. The guys that had it hard keep there mouths shut, most of the time.

    Oh I ain't sayin' I had it hard or easy. It was easier than it was 10 or 15 years prior, just like it was for them, and so on. But it definitely wasn't easy to say the least. They still made it difficult. I wished that they made it more difficult, because I saw too many chapter 11's when I was going through. I think it was close to 10 in our platoon.

    But no boot camp is gonna be as hardcore as Camp Lejeune, and when you gotta go through the crucible.

    No boot camp there any time recent.
    No reason to put down the young ones. Shoot, those guys in now, are the ones that will have to suffer for “old mens convictions”.
    I’ll give a nod to all that have and still are picking up a rifle.

    I ain't putting them down. I'm just putting how soft the army, and the military in general, has gotten over the years. Especially these past few years with all of these social justice warriors and critical race theory, and all of the other stuff that I won't get into because I guarantee it'll start a huge debate, and end up in a whole big debacle.

    Maybe because this is the first some of us have heard of this?

    I haven’t seen this mentioned here, but when you get like a month left of cdl permit, go to dmv and ask for an extension.
    Used to they’d give a 6 month valid permit and extend it once.
    Course this was years ago, i’m sure they still will, a call to states dmv may help out at ease.

    Roehl seems to be a decent company, and they ACTUALLY pay you while you train. Got an offer from them to start the 28th of Nov.

    WIOA program
    EBT program (or something revolving around it)
    Scholarships (most community colleges)
    Sallie Mae loan (most community colleges

    Lots of ways to pay and not be indebted to a company. If you need cash, go the Sallie Mae route. If your credit is decent, you can borrow more the course costs. You don’t have to start repayment for 6 months after graduation.

    Some employers offer tuition reimbursement. That means it’s FREE, but you just got $5k put in your pocket courtesy of Sallie Mae.
