BlueSkiesKel 0 #1 January 14, 2007 I got to come in 2 and 1/2 hrs late to work today bc a qualified reservist drilled today..yahoo! and j/k on the joke... reservists are awesome, they help us out a lot, definitely glad to have em! I used my extra time to clean, I now have a presentable apt, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites cocheese 0 #2 January 14, 2007 You got drilled by a reservist that made you 2 1/2 hours late? Gosh i'm sleepy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites gonzalesna 1 #3 January 14, 2007 Marine reservists are a nuisance... They have the boot camp mentality well into their military career... they tend to be very moto (motivated) and talk a lot of crap... a lot of people who used to be buddies of mine are reservists. Their big mouth and enlarged ego ended our friendships. Calling me a shitbag (means very poor on regulations in all aspects) for not shaving the little bit of chest hair popping out of my shirt and not having a fresh shave. (Yes, I shaved that morning. Boot camp required me to shave twice a day to give you an idea of how fast I grow facial hair.) I'm active duty... I don't need a weekend warrior that makes a living washing cars at a dealership telling me how to be a Marine... especially one that's been in the military a year less. Just my personal opinions... and no it's not just that individual. Just an example. With the exception of a small few, reservists all tend to share the same issues and mindsets.Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites BlueSkiesKel 0 #6 January 14, 2007 Gonzo, I agree, a lot of reservists arent always helpful especially if they arent qualified and if they only come in once a month they've been out of the loop for so long they spend the whole time catchin up and then get no work done, luckily we have 1 reservist at my unit that is very helpful, we all fight over which wkd he works bc that means we get time off Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites gonzalesna 1 #7 January 14, 2007 I was more referring to their attitudes outside of work. When I go on vacation, it's just that. A vacation. I don't need to be bombarded with questions about the fleet, their stories from their last drill weekend, or anything about military regulations. We, luckily, don't have any reservists, that I know of, on the base that I'm on. I live in 29 palms. (AKA 29 Stumps) But when I'm on vacation, I'll go in to say hey to the recruiters, and they're ALWAYS in there. Very annoying. I live in the military. Vacation is my time to get away from it. I don't want a bunch of reservists that think they're hard and salty because they've been to Iraq once talking shit to me. I hardly consider them military. The fact that they don't train often enough is one of the larger reasons we have so many casualties overseas, but that's a different beast.
