I already own omega 36 multi cal can and another can for small cal from 22 to 17. What other can would you suggest me getting?

I like pho and Vietnamese restaurants around here. The food is really yummy, but the portion is small. Has it always been like this in VB or due to the recent economy? I am new to the area.

I’m looking at switching from Army National Guard into Army Reserve Civil Affairs (38B) and want to hear from people who’ve actually served in CA units. I’m trying to get a realistic picture of what the job and the training environment are like.A few things I’m curious about:How is the overall culture in CA units?Do CA Soldiers actually get good schools (Air Assault, Airborne, Ranger school if even possible, etc.)?What’s the training tempo like - meaningful drills or just PowerPoints?Are deployments still happening for CA teams?Any pros/cons you wish you knew before joining?

Hi all, does contract Vr have static target for practice and how far?

Prior service NG 11B here. I’m approaching 40 and have wanted to pursue SF for years. I originally enlisted because that was my long-term goal, and I’ve continued training consistently for about 5 years, but I haven’t attempted selection yet.

Lately I’ve been struggling with whether I should finally execute and go for it, or accept that the window may realistically be closing. I know age matters and I’m not looking for false motivation. just honest perspective from people who’ve been through SFAS or worked with older candidates.

For those who attempted later in life:

- what mattered most?

- what were the biggest challenges?

- do you regret attempting or not attempting?

- what mindset helped the most?

I’m also considering ETS from the Guard and possibly moving toward Reserve Civil Affairs while continuing to train.

Appreciate any honest input.
