update

So here's a overdue update

Plead guilty on the njp. Got 15 days of restriction and 45 days of extra punitive duties. Already done with my 15 days. Glad the major let me continue to go to school, while on restriction. Some good actually came out of this. Moved sections. Moved to SHF and SATCOM. Its abbreviated from super high frequencies and satellite communications. I'm pretty eager to learn about new gear. Especially the SATCOM gear.

I mean think about it. My old job was being close to obsolete. I mean who cares if a radio breaks down on the field. They're relatively cheap (compared to other comm gear) , so easily swapped out. Rarely did I have to fix anything. Just do the paperwork and get a new one from EL MACO.

If u think about it, radios are usually the last line of communications. Theres cellphones, internet, intra net, web cams, phones, satellites, gps, texting, and other data stuff from alpha. If all those goes down, then people will use the radios. I remember, the last opt I was on and someone got seriously hurt. First thing that came out was cell phones. They didn't even bother with the radios. Current updated news came from the internet. And all the other comm services were used.

Don't get me wrong, radios are useful. If the was a nuclear attack and the emp fried the servers and cell towers. Our radios should still work. Radios are pretty mobile too, so they are also good for convoys, and comm with helos. But usually a walkie talkie works just as good, except without the encryptions.

but yeah enough with dat rant. Glad to be in my new section. Military relies on satellites pretty heavily.

Got my positions in smp back. But lost my spot in MARSOC. They won't accept anyone with njp in the last 12months. New orders to go to Camp Lejune in Sept. Planing to go vacation in Asia this summer. dang life is always changing so fast.
