5 types of first sergeants you'll face in the infantry














It's the first sergeant's job to assist the commanding officer in matters of discipline, administrative work, and the unit's morale and welfare. Regardless of how well this mission is completed in the eyes of the lower-enlisted, earning the rank of first sergeant takes many years of hard work and dedication to the Marine Corps. 

Members of the E-8 pay-grade are some of the most interesting and badass Marines you'll ever meet as you climb through the ranks. They come in several varieties:

1. The former drill instructor
You can easily identify this type of first sergeant. First, listen to how raspy their voice is from years of yelling at recruits during training. This type of first sergeant is outstanding at calling cadences during PT and formation marches — for good reason; they've had plenty of practice

June 10, 2019 at 04:30 AM

   

Editor's Note: This article by Jim Absher originally appeared onMilitary.com, a leading source of news for the military and veteran community.
Got a sore throat or a sprained ankle and don't want to go to a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital? Got sick at 8:00 on a Friday night and don't want to wait until Monday to see a VA doctor? A new VA program may be for you.
As of June 6, 2019, the VA offers medical care to eligible veterans at selected civilian urgent care facilities nationwide.
This is an expansion of the VA's Mission Act, which itself was an expansion of the Veterans Choice Act. The Choice Act was passed in 2014 as the result of highly publicized problems with veterans not being able to get appointments at VA hospitals in a timely manner.
Under this new expanded program, veterans are eligible to get limited urgent care from civilian doctors regardless of how close they are to a VA facility.
Eligibility
If you are enrolled in the VA health care system and have received VA medical care within the last 24 months, you should be eligible for this program. However, you should contact your local VA medical facility before visiting a civilian urgent care provider. Only certain services and providers are covered under this new benefit. If you visit a provider that isn't part of the program, or you get medical treatment that isn't covered under this program, you may end up paying out-of-pocket.
You don't have to go to a civilian doctor if you don't want to. The VA says that most of its locations, including hospitals and community-based outpatient clinics, offer same-day services for most situations.
You should contact your local medical office to check your eligibility. Or you can call (866) 606-8198. You can also find civilian community-care locations near you at https://www.va.gov/find-locations/.
Payments
One way this program differs from regular VA medical care is that you may have to make a co-payment to see the civilian doctor. The amount depends on your VA Priority Group and how many times you visit civilian doctors each year. Typically, you get three free visits each year.
Co-payments for office visits
·         Priority Groups 1-5. There is no co-payment for the first three visits during a calendar year. For all subsequent visits, the co-payment is $30.
·         Priority Group 6. If the visit is for medical treatment related to combat and chemical exposures such as Agent Orange; contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, NC; Gulf War Syndrome, etc., as well as some mental illnesses, there is no co-pay for the first three visits during a calendar year. For all subsequent visits, the co-payment is $30. If the visit is not related to these conditions, the co-payment is $30 per visit, for all visits.
·         Priority Groups 7-8. The co-payment is $30 per visit.
There is no co-payment for any Priority Group for flu shots.
Co-payments for prescriptions
If you get a prescription from an urgent care center, you should fill it at a VA network pharmacy. If you go to an out-of-network pharmacy, you will have to pay the full price at the drug store and then file a claim with the VA to get your money back.
If you are given a prescription for what the VA considers routine or maintenance drugs (such as blood pressure or cholesterol drugs), you will have to get those filled by the VA.
Some veterans may be required to make a co-payment for medication. Prices are based on your Priority Group, as well as the type of drugs prescribed. For details, see https://www.va.gov/COMMUNITYCARE/revenue_ops/copays.asp.
When the benefit starts, you will be able to contact the VA Health Resource Center for questions related to urgent care co-payments at 1-877-222-VETS (8387)."This article originally appeared on Military.com"Lord Jesus, grant this day, to direct and sanctify, to rule and govern our hearts, minds, and bodies, so that all our thoughts, words, and deeds may be in accord with your Father's law and wisdom. And thus may we be saved and protected through your mighty help."

How to Become a Private Military Operator













Related Articles
·         1 Private Military Careers
Private military operators are trained soldiers who conduct military operations in foreign countries. Companies like Academi (formerly Blackwater) and Aegis Defense Services hire private military operators to perform specialist tasks in security, counter-insurgency and covert operations, sometimes for foreign governments and corporations, at other times under contract with the Department of Defense, Homeland Security or another U.S. government agency.
Job Description
Private military companies operate independently of U.S. military forces, although they sometimes cooperate with them. Nevertheless, all of the private military operators (often called "contractors") working for these companies are experienced soldiers, almost exclusively veterans of elite U.S. military units like Delta Force and Navy SEAL.
When you sign up for employment with one of these companies, expect hazardous working conditions in foreign countries. You may be assigned to a unit working for an oil company, protecting assets in a combat zone, to a combat operations unit working for a foreign government or to a training unit preparing foreign troops for combat and overseeing their combat performance. Whatever the assignment, it is by definition dangerous: during the Obama administration, more private military contractors working for the U.S. government died in Iraq and Afghanistan than all
