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 can second the above comment. We just lost 7 brothers in a helo crash in Iraq this year. 4 were reservists from NY. Paying the ultimate price for your country doesn’t only happen to AD.

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.

Not in the military at all. Just wanted to drop in and give you boys a huge THANK YOU for what you all do for us and this country! Thank you boys from my entire family to you and your families! We support you guys 110%!

Anytime. It's because of you guys that we get to wake up in this amazing and free country. Don't know why someone would give a thumbs down for anyone thanking you for what you do. Sorry you guys don't always get the respect you deserve.

I commend you man on Deciding to walk away after you’ve hit 10yrs cause that’s a tough call. That decision to separate or re-enlist at 8yrs I knew would be the hardest cause for me I always said if I hit 10 I’m in it till 20. Now I’m well on the other side of the hill but yeah that decision was tough when I had to make it. I got respect for you for doing what your heart says Good on ya. You still have done more than 90% of the country has chosen to do.

Not today ISIS.

As an old retired, grizzled Army Armor 1stSGT, glad to see the appreciation to the active duty guys.

Thanks man. Agreed, it’s tough, I still have days where I second guess myself, lol. Especially when I put on Tech / e6 this year. Buddy in personnel said most people actually make the decision to get out or stay in at 8-10 / 2nd enlistment. But I know myself. Definitely respect each persons choice to stay or go. Thanks for your service and words man.

ARMY EAOS 2026 (if passed over twice) 2030 if promoted

Yeah I am! Getting ready to PCS to New Mexico in two weeks. Going from 4 moto tracks within 5 min of my house (Estreet, MMX, Riverfront) being stationed at Beale has been Moto heaven with all the tracks so close. New Mexico will be way diff

I feel your pain. Went from 4 amazing tracks all an 1.5 hr or less drive in PA/NJ/DE area to 1 "track" in Tucson. Community is smaller out here, most are really into trail riding.

Yeah I feel ya man, when I made tech it did get a little better and I’m on the back 10 now so there’s a light. What saved my career honestly was becoming a tech school instructor. I’m a Crew Chief so over 10 yrs of humping the line and I was ready to bail. That special duty saved my career and gave a new outlook. Getting that little break was what was needed for me personally

Yeah dude I’m going to have to become a desert rat and do like trail stuff cause it looks like there is ONE real moto track (TulieMx) we’re I’m headed and it’s about 45 min away so not too bad. But nothing beats multiple different tracks 5 min from my doorstep......first world problems I know haha
