I’m in the process of working on a project within the community/industry on behalf of ALL the ACTIVE DUTY military men and women of the Armed Forces.
Please drop a line and tell me your service and EAOS.
Please no retired or reserves. While we appreciate your service, this is for ACTIVE DUTY ONLY! If successful we can branch into those categories at a later date.
I can’t really give to much info out because this project is in it’s infancy, but let’s just say we should dust off the MX boots and spend a little more time on the track.

Dude,
Great project.
One point - In my opinion folks in the Reserve deserve just a much of an opportunity as those whom serve regular force.
Often times folks in the Reserves juggle more with their civilian employment than their active duty pers, particularly for deployments and it's not easy. I think it sends the wrong message to segregate the two but that's your call.
Lots of Reservists died in Afghanistan and Iraq sharing the same battlefield.
Again, as a baseline, sounds like a good project.
I definitely agree reservists deploy just the same and get KIA like everyone else, but there is a huge difference. Active your stuck on some shit base in some shit town surrounded by nothing but shit and millitary and at least in the Marines theres a 15 mile radius around base where u can get blasted just for not having a shave on a sat night or somehow being out of regs or just a general shitbird when your just trying to shop at walmart so it blooooows.
Your on 24/7 away from every friend, all family, and its military 24/7 365. I get that it can be tough to plan in your weekend a month but take all that suck and trust me active duty fuck fuck games 24/7 is horrrrible. Room inspections, having to get past MP’s just to even be able to make it home to your bed, getting fucked with nonstop, change of command ceremonies, getting called in at any hour, oh yea and DUTY.... Duty alone fuuuuuuucking blooooooooows and we have it multiple times a month sometimes once a week n if u ever stay back every few days.
Its a whole new world of suck bro, any time we hear reservists try to say how tough they have it their 1 weekend a month... we roll our eyes n just think save it bro, sorry but its true. Yes tho when you guys deploy your on it n its the same. Just imagine that.. for 5 years not that much changes when u deploy but location, you train n live like you fight. Anyways not trying to derail this is a good idea.
