guest blogger: xbradtc

The other day at my husband’s company picnic/family day I ran into a “friend” who I haven’t seen in a while. The usual small talk ensued and I told her how we were getting ready to PCS and leave for recruiting duty. She looked at me point blank and the first thing she said was [...]

assignment choice

I think by volunteering you have more of a chance of going to one of your choice areas if it is not a highly requested area or there is not an over-abundance of recruiters in that area. Some parts of the country currently have enough recruiters, and have people who are already recruiters (permanent 79R MOS) trying [...]

recruiters & weekends

I wish I could tell you if recruiters have their weekends free or not, but I don’t know. I think it really depends on the policy that that particular battalion has and enforces. The battalion we are going to has a policy in place – I think my husband will get two Saturday’s a month in [...]

perspective and choice

It’s funny how you always remember certain pieces of literature and how fragments from those individual pieces can move beyond the black and white and find their way into your own story. Sometimes, those pieces show up as foreshadowing commentary or in a sense become a temporary “theme song” for what you are going through [...]

some advice I found online

I was surfing on the Internet and found a question on yahoo answers asking for advice about recruiting duty – and there was a really good answer so I copied it onto this post. This advice is from a yahoo answers member - Laird C. I did print it out and put it in my husband’s binder that he put together when he was in [...]

links for recruiting school info.

I don’t think the links I had posted in the previous post are working properly. I did everything that I am suppossed to do – but they are not showing the snapshots and taking you to the site I had them linked to – so while I work that out I will go ahead and [...]

things to do before he leaves for school

On other forums I have seen many requests asking for info on what happens after your husband gets the notification that he’s been DA selected, and I realized that that is a good thing to address – so here it is.
After your husband finds out he’s been selected, he’ll get his school date, and may [...]

the uniform

There is something about a man in a uniform. I can’t put my finger on it – but a military uniform just makes you take notice. It can turn an average joe into a HOT G.I. JOE. You wouldn’t know that G.I. Joe wears socks with his sandals when he’s off duty with the way he [...]

the black hole

Well, my husband has two more weeks of school to go – we know what battalion we’re going to and we know the date for when we have to be there – but where exactly are we going? No clue! We have been sucked into the DA Selected Army Recruiters black hole. There are no [...]
