The reenlistment for for different MOS, but I was never an MP… I was placed on guard detail because the MP unit was unavailable to handle the detail for whatever reason, we did it for 4-6 months or something like that if I recall correctly, I remember it being more or less the full Summer… which sucked because the A/C units in the booths sucked.

It was when I was put into the last pathfinder unit in the Army that I found leadership that wasn’t dumb, but then after our deployment it was scheduled to be disbanded… so I just didn’t re-up… The only worthwhile unit going away was a big clear blinking notification sign in my life to walk the fuck away.

I have to fully be on board that it’s pure luck if you get a unit that actually doesn’t suck. I’ve had commanders order me to do illegal shit (which is why I was transferred around a bit, can’t get me in trouble for following UCMJ and the other bajillion manuals covering my job). When I finally got to a real unit that knew what their mission was. Everything magically became smooth as butter.

Last pathfinder unit in the Army? Damn things have changed. We had a squad of pathfinders in every HQ company in every infantry battalion in my division when I was in. I guess they just use drones now or what? Crazy.

Apparently they still have 3 pathfinder schools… But just have a handful of pathfinder qualified in units that need them. Not sure how 2-5 people is enough to secure airfields out in the middle of nowhere… But I’m sure the Army knows exactly what their doing.

Right? Oh…
