What happens before a deployment in the Army

[@andrewwright01]

I hated how they always have us several shots in each arm, then we would go do push-ups. "Push the soreness out Troops!!". Gamaglobin shot meant sit-ups and a run!! 20 yrs of deployments and I think each one was a little bit different. RANGERS LEAD THE WAY 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅

[@ptstud3534]

As a medic I went through the Operational Emergency Medical Skills (OEMS) course before deploying to Iraq. The training was about a week long and on the final day we had to keep a pig alive as long as possible.

[@MrHumpah12]

Then they kill it at the end anyways lmfao

[@MrHumpah12]

@Johnny Rep there's so much shit pumped into that pig I doubt you'd want to eat it lmao

[@MrHumpah12]

Hi Chris! Can you discuss a little bit about what we can pack or bring to deployment? How’s about the internet connection in Iraq or Afghanistan? Can we make a phone call sometimes? Thank You

[@joyquary7270]

Tbh take the bare minimum on hand, whatever is required, along with laptop, wifi puck, those kinda things. But go out and buy a tough box, leave it with someone you trust back home, and have it filled with the good stuff you want and have them mail it to you that way you dont have to carry as much.

[@aegisofhonor]

what happens before a Deployment in the Marine Corps, you have a normal day, then you get deployment orders, grab your ruck, get on the boat or plane, and off you go on deployment.

I am from Morocco and the way you said "hands up" was pretty funny but it was correct

[@billhull6842]

My buddy was in the Navy. He said before he deployed, he would get his gear together, decide what guns he wanted to take and if they wanted explosives on the deployment. He said when they were walking to the airplane the song "Let the bodies hit the floor" would be playing really loud over the PA system regardless of what time it was. He said after the deployment they would get back and open a beer. My buddy was also a Navy Seal and he said they were allowed to do almost anything they wanted to do.

[@jthavorn]

I never deployed but a male buddy of mine highly advises that before you deploy, you have as much sex with your wife as you can. Reason being that he once deployed and was away for 12 months and once he came back, his wife welcomed him back with her newborn baby.....😅

[@alexanderulibarri9029]

I have a question I just got to my unit the day I got here there were doing their SRP for deployment in Kuwait so do you think I will get deployed or do u think they will keep me here for training?

[@christopherchaos]

Sometimes they have some required training that you might need to complete first and then they send you to meet up with the unit. So you could have to wait a month or 2 before you get sent or they might not have that requirement and you go when they go. Your leadership should give you a heads up if you are going or not though. PS.... Kuwait deployments are really easy.

[@necromanteerrante8095]

How trains an officer, lets say a mayor??? They dont get into combat.

[@kapitandemolka431]

Well, first of all, if you are going into combat zone, no matter what rank are you, there is still a chance you will get into fire fight. Obviously there is smaller chance that a major will be in that situation then for example private. Officers for example may have extended cultural course to make sure they will not insult local authorities with some gestures that are normal for us but insulting for them. They may have revision of skill they have learned in academy but they didn’t use much in their unit.

[@LL-ls5zo]

When my uncle was a major. He was deployed for a half year.

[@gnashvillecat6654]

We done more refresher courses, Calling Arty, Going over pass-words (funny papers??) And learning what the extreme heat would do to our tank sights (We were stationed at Ft. Bliss, we trained at White Sands Missle Range McGregor Range was in the desert,????????) I didnt understand that shit. But right after we were told we were deploying to Saudi Arabia I went to a battle buddies room and he was inventorying his TA-50, I said what the fuck are you doing, He said his father told him "When you dont know what to do, Do what you know"

[@sixtorocabado2501]

I got to Guatemala as non combat for hurricane relief we didn't do weapon qualifications. We did rail training and rowpu's training and was the interpreter for our squad that went.

[@nwj03a]

NTC frickin sucks, it was worse than being deployed. Went back twice as a trainer, that sucked a lot less, but that first time was so mind numbingly boring and stupid. I’m not an idiot, I know how all of this works… it’s going to be hot, nifty story guy. What the f do you think you’re teaching me? Was a damn test in patience more than anything. Did sneak away and get drunk in Vegas though, so I guess that’s something.

[@orosalsero]

This is a very good scenario of what goes on behind the scene before combat deployment, I hated those booster shots, except when we deployed in Desert Storm in 1990, we had no NTC training, no cultural training and we didn't get a little booklet with common Arabic phrases, when we hit the ground it was all mission focused destroy the Iraq military and we got it done.
