- Education benefits in the United States Army has always been pretty good, but now... the Army is seriously considering cutting Credentialing Assistance Education Benefits... All the way from $4000 a year, to $1000 a year and never going over $4000 in a Soldier's career... are you kidding me?

00:00 US Army Cutting Educational Benefits
01:30 US Military Times Article About Army Education Cuts
02:48 What's Being Cut?
04:44 What do I think About All This?
🏋️♂️ Check out the Gritty Soldier Fitness website: grittysoldier.com/
The real question is “what is the thinking behind this?” Army already has a recruiting crisis and many people join simply for the educational benefits, so they decided to make it worse?
@@G6Tarantula So instead of having people leaving after 4-6 years they just won't join. Congratulations, you've really boosted army numbers lol.
It's insane to argue that people are joining for the "wrong" reasons when the army constantly fails to meet recruitment targets. This is not a time for weird gatekeeping.
They think cutting benefits will make SMs believe they should stay in service longer to get their degree.
@@G6Tarantula Of course the people join the military to serve their country but why will our youth join now especially how anti military most are. What is the benefit of joining now, most people are enlisted when joining. The pay isn't good either, fuck them for joining then right. What a privilege to join and shitty leadership fucks you with the green weenie. Has to be a benefit to join. Would you rather have homeless vets after they ets? Fucking moldy barracks what privilege, thinking like our god damn leadership.
So much for college I hope I'll make selection for green berets. I just hate the way meps looks for shit that can screw you from joining.
@@Steady_Dormant good luck man
Army: "We're in the middle of the worst recruiting crisis of the modern era. Anyone got any ideas on how to get more people to enlist?"
Butterbar: "We could take their benefits away!"
Army: "Amazing idea, let's do that!"
I think they’re gonna draft a couple thousand people & don’t wanna just give edu-bens away for free lol 😂
Bruh.. I'm already debating on joining, and this did NOT reassure me at all
They’ll draft you soon enough. Go to trade school and get in great shape.
@@onerider808 the draft is not coming. They're just recruiting smart people. This gets rid of the dumbassea that are canon fodder anyways. No need for canon fodder when we have robotics armies nowm
@@RubensBarrichello.Yeah, ok. All the smart people are the ones that stay away at this moment in time.
Maybe next year.
@@MrBrandonata 😂
Don’t join, not worth it. I guarantee your first contract in a peacetime physical labor mos will leave you broken before you get out.
Read, work out, and focus on building a successful business.
The army will take away all of your time and leave you with crumbs
So $20k a year & basically no education benefits? Why join when others can make 50k a year working at McDonald’s.
To serve the fucking country dude !!! Selfless service duh not everyone is a selfish asshole
@@1289derrick And you expect Gen Z to join because of “selflessness”? Have you ever thought about why we are in a recruiting crisis bro? Do You think selflessness is going to bring us some more recruits? I can understand if we’re at war, but we’re at a peace time. Not many people want to join the military to get treated like shit, get paid like shit, & get injured for some political view they don’t believe in, & I don’t blame them man. Personally, I’m in the process of trying to get into the army, but I understand peoples point of view as well, I don’t blame them.
@@1289derrick i can understand what you’re saying if we were at war, but it’s peace time. Gen Z doesn’t want to join the military to be selfless, or to get treated like crap, paid like shit, and on top of the, injuries. Especially when I can make 50k at McDonald’s. Also, let’s be real, Most people join the military for the benefits, to find a way out of poverty, or to find some type adventure.
@1289derrick that's a stupid claim, it's not selfish to want the benefits you should get for serving the country and losing certain freedoms.
See how far that goes when AI takes over and they lay people off it’s already happening in Ca
Damn. I just enlisted and this program was one of the biggest reasons behind me making that choice. Wtf
Part of why I did was the education benefits as I was hoping to use the COOL stuff at least, argh!!! If it's based on mos after this not sure what I can get as a 19k.
@@GamerChick5567 I’m 25H, I think I still might be able to get a cyber cert but only being able to put $1000 per year isn’t really going to do much for me.
@@mexicanjumpingbearhave you considered the marines? I’m not sure if the army offers better benefits or anything but from what I’ve been able to quickly search 25H is an infantry company but marines are also known to be infantry combat focused.
@@Alonso-be2qpI’m a 25H as well In the army it is not infantry it’s IT, Infantry sounds cool and all that but it won’t help you in getting a good paying civilian job at all.
The military as a whole is going in the shiiter
Don’t forget Army eLearning was taken away abruptly. Another tool that was used for credentialing.
This!
The solution for people not wanting to join is to give them more reasons to not want to join.
If they don’t want to join to help protect the country their loved ones live in, and to also help those who innocently live in tyrannical dictatorships then they can stay out🤷🏻. Even if they don’t get their college paid for, they still can learn and earn extremely valuable life lessons that would help them that they wouldn’t have if they didn’t join. IMO yea it sucks to have less of your education paid for but that shouldn’t be the only reason for someone to join or not join.
@@G6Tarantulabro, it’s peace time. Let’s get our numbers and still get an education. Nothing wrong with that
@@G6Tarantulanobody is signing their life away for 6 years and risking their health just to learn some lessons. You need to give people reasons to join especially when you’re getting paid less than minimum wage, can’t see your family, and have to put your life on the line for people that don’t care about you
@@G6TarantulaThere’s the lifer-grunt-mentality, and there’s being a useful idiot for oil barons, and the fools in Washington who wield you like tools to be discarded. Can you guess which category you fall in? If you don’t work for the recruiters then you’re a fool for spouting this BS. No one in the armed forces is defending their home, their interests, or even their basic freedoms which have all been stripped away when they return to find out they were never fighting for freedom.
@@chainarmor448and we’re under corporate occupation there’s no legit defense of this place when the govt has been hi jacked
I feel sorry for y'all in the service .You should be receiving so much more from our government. Always remember that most of us on the civilian side support you and pray for you.God bless and stay safe 🙏
This is going to get hidden: The money they are paying contractor companies, foreign aid, and public works should be invested back into the soldiers' pay, reenlistment, and education. They work so hard and give so much up, just to lose more benefits.
Recruiting is already down, what the hell do they think this change is going to do?
Make sure they don’t have to pay to educate all those illegal aliens they are filling the ranks with
They think by cutting education and keeping soldiers dumb and uneducated will keep them in.
Lack of funds
@@1289derricklack of fundss !!!!!!
Like we never sent billions to ukraine and israel for the last god know how long
Also, they're paying new soldiers 50k, but soldiers re-enlisting are only eligible for 5k(if lucky). We need to fire that Sec Army. She has no military experience and is a diversity hire.
The older I get the more I realize how terrible our country treats our soldiers! I will not forget how our elected representatives treat our brave soldiers!
The only reason I was going to join the army was for education benefits. Off to the Airforce it is then.
It’s a good thing that I managed to find a skill in my Army life that can translate. If you can’t reap educational benefits, the next best thing is to find skills within Army MOS’s.
Good thing about combat engineers is they can go back to Burger King when they get out.
That’s why I choose 88M because it translates into what I’m already doing
Military careers should guarantee certifications that are transferable. The gi bill and ed benefits hurt the military greatly. We have people that only enlist for money. As Retired e-7 i watched these kids barely participate in their actual career.
However combat arms members should get a portion of their pensions at 10 years if they get out.
this is Insane. I'm in electronic maintenance and this program literally helps us to get a new award that requires civilian certs (technicians badge). these same certs are also STRONGLY encouraged if we want to be warrant officers in our field. taking this away would destroy that entire credentialing path that allows us in this field to get six figure jobs after we ets or retire. and these certs are expensive. if I want to redo my NET+, A+, and SEC+ I'm looking at literally $1500 ish and that's if I pass the test first time go. this will make convincing my soldiers that its worth staying much harder
I was literally thinking about this.
This doesn't make any sense, they literally need CA in order to train and progress certain MOS's.
Ok, it’s not like they are getting rid of the GI bill. That would be waaay worse. That infantry or artillery guy who doesn’t want to stay in the army anymore, still has the option to go to trade school or college after their time in service. This really doesn’t seem like a big deal to me. Before I watched this video, I thought he was going to say that the Gi Bill was being reduced. It seems to me that the CA benefit was something introduced to help out those kinds of people who did not want to put in the time and hard work of being in school for multiple years. Sorry guys, but taking shortcuts and skipping the formal education isn’t always the solution. I know that is easier, but for some guys like me who enlisted, right after HS, and did not have a degree when we got out of the service still has that option of getting a degree or diploma from tradeschool. This is not the end of the world for y’all. Y’all still have the option of the army paying for a bachelors degree or trade diploma.
You sound like you work in the C&E shop
$1500 is pocket change
@@Robert_H_Diver Of course it is to you. Respectfully. But to a junior enlisted soldier, its well over half their pay.
I have personally used over 8,000$ worth of TA and CẢ and this is terrible news. I have always advocated my soldiers to use them and it’s one my biggest lines for people looking to join. Extremely disappointing and hurting our soldiers. Also I don’t know how I am going to pay for my college now with only $1000 a year. Sigh
Scholarships. There might be a conglomerate that arises that does offer scholarships to veterans. I mean some of the scholarships available no one even applies for. I remember one time my white friend got a $500 scholarship only intended for black people because she was the only one who applied for it. She got like 30 $500-$1000 scholarships and went for free. Granted she spent A LOT of time applying for scholarships.
@@RubensBarrichello. WTF? Where are these scholarships? I haven't been able to find one that gets approved.
That’s ridiculous. Recruiters are going to have a hard time if this line of thinking continues.
Glad i seen this. Can't go now. What a shame. I'll always respect and admire those that serve though
On the positive side, you can still use your VA benefits for education. The sad part is that these soldiers will have to wait until they’re out to use them. This sounds like incentivizing enlisted soldiers to leave rather than stay.
This is insane! Thank you for shouting this out loud so the people in the back can hear what's going on. These higher ups have the great idea of approving and sending out BILLIONS in Foreign Aid but aren't taking care of the issues here at home, let alone they are making it so much worse. @Gritty Soldier - Keep up the good work of letting the people know what is being pushed down the pipe!
Well that sucks.. I hope it doesn’t actually happen…
At this point it seems like the military wants the recruitment/retention problem and not fix it. Every policy move the DOD makes just furthers the issue, whether its cutting benefits for more money laundering or plain stupidity it is astonishing. As someone who is currently in the service they make the idea of staying in less and less by the months. It is a sad state of affairs our military is in and its sadly not worth staying in a system that does not want to fix its own self inflicted wounds.
Ay buddy I ain't sitting in a desert right now just to come back home to no new "free" education
Talk about giving the middle finger to Army education to help transition.
funny how they make all these requirements when youre supposed to "retire" like TAP so they have an excuse to make sure you dont be homeless when your contracts ends, but here they are making sure you become homeless more than ever.
As a current Army Career Counselor 79S this is going to hurt us. I was showing Soldiers about COOL and how to use it to get Certs before getting out. Helped retain them for a year or two to complete it. Now have to adjust fire.
That would be incredibly stupid. I really hope they don't do it.
We gotta use that money for our greatest ally and our replacements.
At least it’s not as bad as the United States Air Force! The Air Force just cut their in school ROTC scholarships without notice. Our daughter found out on the last day of regular class that she would get no scholarship even though she qualified for a full one.
I would be livid.
That's awful.
The Army in February started going away from the Mechanics Badge and started implementing a Technician badge.
The program expands to all technical fields, not just the maintainers.
It also adds three levels to denote senior level expertise.
The key to reaching the higher levels are having a certificate. The technician program was built off of the current Credentialing Assistance program.
They started that stuff once they lumped people who could fix a multimillion dollar satellite system to component level with some dude doing PMs on tanks. Technician used to really mean something. I had my choice of good jobs when I got out. Now it means basically nothing. It’s stupid, because in real war you cant count on contractors. I’d love to see them return to year long AITs and teach troops to fix anything in their system to the component level, in the field. Make ‘maintenance man’ mean something again.
Get that badge
I have been telling my Soldiers that reenlisting is not a good idea
BZ on your duty, and personal courage Soldier!
That will really help recruiting efforts!
In my experience the bad rumors always come true. This will work wonders for retention and recruitment.
Dam :(
55 years ago Viet combat inf vet stress releaf.none excesting criteria pdr III if I want to go to school I'd have trouble holding A thought long enough to spell chemistry" love" former spc 4 pichl
The CA program has definitely lead me to consider reenlisting. I probably won’t if this goes through
Yes you will
TA and CA pool from the same fund. Little sad I’m finally starting to utilize my TA as a medic I thankfully have options, thus why I’m knocking out my nursing.
Now for a combat arms MOS I feel for. This hurts their job potential once they’re out.
I'll be joining later this year with only two year left of school before my masters. That's why I intend to use the TA shortly after getting enlisted and hopefully have enough energy to study on the weekends.. I was told that the TA applies to your spouse too which is pretty cool. SO thankfully that's not affected
@@TobbeStormThe spouse can use the SM TA but it’s a bit of headache paperwork. it’s possible though. Only available through certain ranks though.
@@DocCypher Okay thank you for clarifying that. You mean rank as in E-1 to E-4? I was told I'll be going in as a E-3 due to the amount of college credits I have. Also, the MOS you signed a contract for is basically what you'll be stuck with right? As in its not easy to change if you don't like it
I came in with 280 credits. Yea got lost at college. Anyway, Came in as PFC too. I don’t have a bachelors myself yet.
Rank is the named title. Private, PFC etc. Pay grade is E-#, O-#, and W-#.
Yes and no on being stuck. You have the option to reclass during your re enlistment window, towards the end of your contract. They’ll cover that in basic when you’re half dead in the many hour long assembling briefings you’ll be in. or you can research that here on UA-cam or google. Highly recommend researching everything before. Even i wish i had done more research and I seemingly did more than even my peers did.
as far it being easy, depends on the MOS you’re in, the MOS you want to change and the over all manning the Army has in each of the MOS’s. Example, I’m a medic. I want to switch to Practical Nursing, I can’t at my present rank. They only take SPC’s and below into that MOS. The other factor is, Medics are in massively short supply in some areas so me leaving the MOS is difficult to be approved. Can happen, in fact another MOS that’s more needed right now than medic I’d be able too. It depends on the flavor of the season. It’s not impossible, it’s also extremely difficult.
You also have packet MOS’s you can drop at any time irregardless of your re enlistment window.
12P, Avaition Warrant (Year long packet process generally or longer just getting everything you need.) Special Operations, Special Forces, SMU, 17C and several others.
Damn. I get budget stuff is crazy right now (I’m a training tech in the Nasty Guard) but this is idiotic. Ironically I’m going through Pose Method certification at the moment via credentialing assistance and just promoted other Soldiers making use of it in this month’s newsletter lol.
Stop paying old politicians that are no longer in office and reduce current politicians pay
Thanks!
Wow thanks for much for that! 🙏
Why are we acting surprised?
Lately, it seems the U.S. military as a whole has been making bad decisions. From lowering boot camp standards, cutting benefits to unjustified measures to recruit. I hope our military reestablishes itself, instead of digging itself into a hole.
More than a decade in service and never understood or know about it works.
Until last December somebody from this program gave us a conference about it and help us to enlist in the courses.
There is a lot of benefits, but not enough people to orient about it.
What’s your rank and Mos?
Perhaps the assistance was under utilized - not aware of many using this benefit within my unit. Funds will likely be funneled elsewhere regarding QoL on installations as that is the current focus (barracks etc.)
Yeah maybe… it still would be weird to take from it though, and limit it so much. I don’t know it seems the army might really be hurting for funds nowadays…
i kinda agree, kind of hard to make use of any benefit when 12hr work day is a short one, and often times work on sat/sun. theres just no time for anything outside of work except sleep
@@GrittySoldierwe wouldn’t hurting for funds if Congress wouldn’t be sending so much money to countries other than our own
I’m leaving for basic in July, am going into the infantry. It’s disappointing because i would’ve liked it to help, but I guess at the end of the day I’m not enlisting for the benefits. Yet it would really help to have credential assistance.
When they cut bennies, it means a war or the draft or both
How do you figure this? It not like this hasn't happened many times before already. Cutting costs is just how America rolls, always has.
That's wild
That's crazy, we gave all of our money away, now we have no money, so naturally let's screw over arguably the most important people to our way of life
With so money that Congress gave to Ukraine and Taiwan I’m not suprised
@@demarralrobinson2530that’s incorrect. Please check your resources.
@@demarralrobinson2530 That's not money thats being "given" to ukraine. Europe is giving Ukraine cash. We are giving them weapons.
That means that every shell we give them, represents money put back into the US economy because we had to pay for that shell. And what we paid went into US jobs, US steel, and american explosives.
South Korea is going gang busters on arms exports. And our policy of limiting arms exports to anti democratic companies means we don't have many customers around the globe.
But when we "give" military supplies to ukraine. We are paying ourselves. We are paying our defense industry. Keeping the production lines going. Because the cost of shutting down production, then starting up again, is greater than the cost of keeping production going.
This is a shame; thank you for providing more exposure on the issue.
“Sometimes the army dosent get things right” Battle i heard that😂
Thanks
ARMY! Get it tf together please.
Another day I feel blessed to have joined the USMC instead of the Army
How so brother? I plan to join the USMV very soon as well.
@theundisputed3671 pick an mos that doesn't have a reputation for stupid people who do stupid things
@@HAMMERTIMEBBthoughts on 0311? That’s my only MOS. I want to do that and then go straight into private military sector.
If the army is doing it you don’t think the rest of branches will follow next
Just like, Blue Oyster Cult, song "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" needed more cowbells; the Marines need more bullet blockers.
We are equally blessed you've suited up for the task. Stay low, and protect your vital organs. They are useful as donor organs.
This is nuts!! this was the biggest reason I joined the Army over 30 years ago.
The program just came out in 2020
Nothing but pogs left.. even the 11bs are pogs now😂
It may enhance the Soldier's long term planning, the veteran's benefits are what you really need, that will get you the IT job, business start-up foot in the door, field switch and feel, etcetera.
I’m 14 years in and I literally just started using my TA this year trying to get my associates degree, I start class this Thursday! hope this isn’t true. 👊🏻⚡️🇺🇸
News flash: The army fights wars and doesn't care about much else.
Dammm looks like private military for infantry it is. 💀💀💀
I know many young men at my airport who have used their military benefits to get their pilot ratings for commercial airline work. As a Vietnam vet I used my GI bill which really wasn’t that good but it helped me thru college nonetheless
I think many people are mistaking the fact that the CA and TA are supplemental benefits to the standard loan repayment, and GI bills. Education benefits still exist this was just an AWESOME additional benefit that when used correctly you got more in your pocket.
So who are the "bean counters" that think this a good idea?
Same ones who voted on black berets....and whose kids are probably getting free education
This is exactly the type of program they should be pouring money into.
The #1 reason I joined was for the education, and this came out the literal day after I swore in
For promotions what are they expecting the soldiers to do? They are expecting enlisted to have at least a bachelor degree to become a 1sg.
For those that are still in, dont re up for too long
Our government seems to think money actually does grow on trees, particularly giving our largesse away to foreign (and usually corrupt) governments and political (democrat) allies, but giving less and less to our military for the purpose of protecting this country (although there seems to be no lack for DEI programs).
I'm torn on this new development. On one hand I think it's generally a waste of money for modern college tuition, but I'm all for trade school funding, and compensating our troops for serving.
Ok, so I’m new to this. I got out of active duty army in 2012 and tried the reserves for a 6 year enlistment. Quickly realized that was a mistake even with a $15,000 enlistment bonus for a combat engineer. I was working a traveling job as a cell tower technician and I was able to serve the remaining years of my enlistment in inactive reserve. Anyways, that was back in 2019. I never heard of this CA thing and I was afraid that the army was getting rid of thier GI bill when I clicked on this video. This CA thing, is extra and for a specific job skill certification. Thank God the army has not cut out the GI Bill benefits.
When I retired from the army as a veteran, I was informed that I had no veterans benefits for education. It seems the post Vietnam war program allowed you to put money into a program where every dollar you put in the military would match you one dollar. Unfortunately, I was not aware of this. I checked with all my classmates who entered the army with me in 1978, and they confirmed the same. Ah well. Apparently, we fell through the crack when Congress was asleep after the Vietnam war. Gotta take care of our veterans.
If they do this I’m not re enlisting after this contract.
To be fair, many soldiers are probably getting these credentials and getting out and using those credentials. I’d imagine that that “credentials related to the MOS” is up commander’s discretion
Gee, I wonder why recruitment goals aren't being meet?
I remember enlisting just before they dumped that '20 yrs = 50% retirement and free medical and dental for life'. That went away shortly after. Same with the whole bouncing between the various versions of GI bill. Add on the under funded and limited VA services afterwards and you get a hollow, hi-tech force.
These politicians want to cut benefits & pay while they give themselves raises.
Cutting SM benefits while reducing flight time for pilots. Another 100mil to Ukraine. Let's go
Choose your MOS wisely. Myself 67y and 55d /AH1F crew chief and EOD. US Army 87 to 95. Sgt E5
Uhh Raahh Devil Dog!!!
The current U.S. military model and budget isn’t sustainable. You can expect this to get worse.
Do you have videos about how you got the trainer certificate? How hard was the test? I wanted to do this next year but, with these possible changes I might try this year. I’m also interested in the nutrition certificate you mentioned in this video.
Thank you for making these great and informative videos.
This is absolutely crazy. I literally just got done talking to a recruiter a couple of days ago, thank god I continued to do my research because to go through everything the military puts you through and they taking that away ? Yea nahh. Want me to risk MY life ? How laughable. Changing it to 1k and it has to coincide with your MOS ? Woww. I can only imagine how many mad ppl its gonna be in the next couple of years, because you already know these recruiters is NOT telling potentials that.
Go be a cop or a firefighter. Trust me…
I am VERY glad I got out when I did. This is a joke. There is almost no incentive to join. What do they think? That there going to be getting an influx of new recruits who just want to bleed for this country? Their recruiting numbers are atrocious. This is disgusting.
I am an 11B for the National Guard, I used Army CA to pay for a Comptia Security+ course last year after a deployment. What was interesting to me was that the course price was $3999, so I suspect that the education providers will simply reduce their pricing for courses as a result of this policy change. Linking skills back to the MOS would be an unfortunate change, and likely damaging to retention and talent management initiatives.
No they wont why would they
I might consider taking CompTIA for a job in security later on, I already have a Google certificate in Cybersecurity
@@user-im1ld9gw9o go to the navy if u wanna party with diddy😫
@@taebeendatThey will reduce price because Army is their biggest client. Thats called “the market “
Listen, I was under the Montgomery GI BILL used it one time a 6 month class, then was told it's EXPIRED? LIKE MILK OR EGGS EXPIRED??
And do know we've been warned. Join to serve your country.... Full stop. If not, vocational schools are options. Walmart Truckers get paid $90000 to $110000.
Army reserves it is called ta tuition assistance
This is still in the planning stages. Not a done deal yet. The GI bill is still available. It's not dramatic.
Aw man!! I don’t know how to use my benefits!
I remember when they cut our TA to only acquiring one Bachelor in the Navy. It was upsetting cause being a lifetime learner with multiple degrees and trades from college courses was one of the main benefits.
This program for the Army was HUGE for acquiring civilian skills that could help you go from Army infantry to Cyber contractor making $220 k a year.
The branches need to accept that without high 3, without a pension... There is a significantly lower probability of people staying in for a career. Let them pursue the education they want. They might like it so much they stay longer and they are becoming more educated. There needs to be more benefits, not less.
All that extra money should go back to the troops but it won’t, I will not be re enlisting. This government couldn’t give a fuck about its people let alone its troops.
Wow, this will not make recruiting easier. Are they hoping for a draft next time we need soldiers? Wtf army
Are they still going sent Officers to Ivy League Schools once the get to Colonel?
unbelievable
We need to boycott student loans too!!
Write your congressman.
They want to make the recruiting crisis so bad that they're forced to employ a draft.
The migrants coming through the Darien gap are being offered citizenship if they serve in the US military.
@@FrontUWnot a bad idea
We'll have to give our money to Ukraine and Israel
Could the ARMY condmsider making CA available for those with a min of 4 years in and up. Or since recruiting is in the shitter; maybe evwry time you re' up in addition to your pay allowance you get X in CA on top ? 2 yrs = 3 yrs = yrs = 6 yrs = ?
The military has never guaranteed education benefits. They are available based on funding as an incentive.
So you can’t get a cert over $1000 while enlisted. Once you’re out tho can you just use the GI bill Benefits to cover trades and schools.
I bet the Captain's Career Course still pays you to get your Masters degree...while getting base pay.
Where do you get your steroids from and how much did those jaw implants cost?
Unless you spend 20 years to retire & pension and benefits, joining the service is a waste of time.
This is such a sick move. They are having such a hard time retaining and recruiting but they take away any thing that benefits the soldier. The training for us Cyber Warrants went from class A training from vendors like SANS to the Army BS training that is straight up trash. The Army is taking hard. Retirement looks way better.
