I happened to live the life of Riley for most of my time as a 13M, plus a year in Korea at the ever lovely Cellblock E, and 9 months in Iraq and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Life of a 13M is typical of any MOS, nothing special except you get to go to the field in a vehicle that sounds like a herd of rampaging elephants.
Ya start your day with PT, the formation, some daily maintenance on the vehicle and launcher, maybe a little training, lunch, more training or finishing repairs, sweep the line, formation again and boom it’s miller time.
If you’re pushing for advancement you’re studying a lot, doing extra training and PT to tighten up those scores.
13 years and I’ve been out 20, I’d go back the minute they call but my PT scores are gonna suck

You have to have an open mind. Can be very stressful or as easy as you make it, alot of field time. South East Asia has its benefits, but Fort Sill is what it is. Just my opinion
