Any tank crewmen here? How often do you spend your time operating your tank during deployment? Or do you mostly spend your time in the training simulator?

We use simulators occasionally, at least in my unit. If we're preparing for gunnery then everyone knows you have to qualify on the simulator as part of tables 1-6. Other times we would use simulators to practice movement drills. But 90% of the time it was hands on using the real thing out in the field

A huge chunk of our crew's day is spent on maintenance and waiting for something to happen. Then nothing happens, so we do some more maintenance or review the manuals for the nth time. Sometimes we get assigned to simulator training, which for me is better than maintenance but not as fun as doing live fire exercises.

I’m not bad with money but definitely lots of room to improve overall, due to several personal factors I don’t want to list in full here (numerous unanticipated medical bills, bad boyfriends, etc.) Hence why I only have $3k in savings right now. My first mini goal is to have $5k saved by the end of December. I need motivation and words of encouragement. If I pay off my medical bills, I won’t make my goal. I have to start putting saving money first. Getting depressed about my situation.
