I graduated in August 2000. I went to Meps in October 2001 a full year later. I worked in accounting and finance for about 9 months prior. It was boring I though joining the Army and going to war would be exciting I joined I got deployed to Kosovo for 10 months it wasn't that exciting the end. Germany was fun but barracks were like being back in a dorm room with freshman the other soldiers were younger everyone my age was married in married housing. Not really sure why you guys find this so interesting or remarkable and I have been through it before
he graduated, worked for 9 months then joined up and went to Kosovo before being sent to Germany?
So after 9 months working and spoending 10 months in Kosovo he managed to amass enough money to buy a Porche and get the military to ship it to Germany free of charge
all the other soilders were younger in his dorm, others his age were in housing as they were married?
Looks like Brian wasnt "deployed" at all, people deployed dont get to take their families with them
Being stationed overseas you can take family but not deployed
There is so much wrong with his entire army claim I dont know where to start
11Charlie (mortarman infantry) and I came out of basic an E4 because I already had a degree. I enlisted in the infantry because that is what my grandfather was and they allowed a 2 year enlistment. In retrospect I should have gone in as an officer and been an accountant in the Army (officers don't pick MOS it gets assigned they also have to do a 6 year sign up. I had a recent finance degree so they would have made me a bean counter). I could be retired by now but at the time being 23 I thought being infantry and going to war would be fun then they sent me to Kosovo instead anyway. I moved to Manhattan when I got out of the Army I went to school in Brooklyn as a kid for a few years when my mother worked on Wall Street so that is what I wanted to do. Again in retrospect an army finance job would have been the better plan.
Said no soldier ever
