Uncle Sam is under strength. So they've rolled out the incentives, again. Eased the standards, raised the age to enlist/re-enlist, bonuses. You could be back in this week, depending on what options you want. Reserve or active, any branch. You won't need to go to basic again. Just pass height, weight & background check. I had to lose 70 pounds. Took me a year. Start now, before you see a recruiter. Pick a job (they'll use your old ASVAB, so no need to retake). I went back in at 48-years-old in 2008 (retired in 2020 w/24 years served). Google your nearest recruiting station. Fix your finances & go to college (spouse & kids too, all paid for). Free healthcare for life, plus housing, food & clothing allowances. 30 days paid vacation per year. Unlimited sick days. Foreign assignments, deployments (steak, lobster, special services), military schools, promotions, weapons training, field exercises, ribbons, awards. Now that your older you'll appreciate this all even more was my experience (especially after a stint in NTCC's deprivation pipeline). You'll still be good at most things, even the first time. Much better than the average (especially the new average; which was called piss-poor, process for discharge, in our day). You know, you've been in public. As prior service you're treated better (unless your an incompetent) than your rank would indicate. Having babies is free, as many as you want. Any moving expenses are paid for. Et cetera. You know the drill. You know most of this stuff. You were in before. Remember all the things you liked about it & the things you didn't like will, at the least, be more tolerable this time around. Your resilience will be through the roof because of NTCC. Again, this was my experience. Now I like the retirement, but I had to take a first step. Any first step. Mine was losing 5-stone.
New Testament Christian Churches of America, Inc.—The Church of All Nations: Just another witness...
...& just providing CONTEXT from compiled FIRST-PERSON experiences while within NTCC from 1975 to 2014 & now to present since NTCC-TV (est. 2020) is just another witness further RECONFIRMING all these old articles. An authoritative written HISTORY, with RESEARCH proofs, some SATIRE, less OPINION, no FUN & many LEARNING & CRITICISM opportunities (remain TEACHABLE). This all goes for ALL the blogs. A research ARCHIVE, while still open for comments.
Matthew 18:15-17 (King James Version)
Matthew 18:15-17 (the King James SEPARATES wheat from chaff)...Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
Proverbs 6:16-19 (King James Version)
Proverbs 6:16-19 (the King James talks STRAIGHT-TALK)...These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Proverbs 31:10-28 (King James Version)
Proverbs 31:10-28 (the King James woman WORKS a job)...Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
