Rave: Kid had a great swim meet over the weekend

Rave:My kid's music teacher lets them play original Guitar Hero and GH 2 during occasional free-time (middle school), and my son has gotten into Clone Hero recently. I managed to find two perfect condition guitars off craigslist at the end of last week (from a middle aged dude just needing to make space) for a good price, just in time for his...

Got some ideas and I’m going in later this week, just curious what we all have going on

TL DR; At some level, most Soldiers seem to hate the Army but secretly like some aspects of it. To those who did 20 or more, how did you manage that paradox?

My buddy and I got fucked with weekend CQ so we were just shooting the shit about how much we hate the Army. However, deep down at some level hidden deep within the crags of our soul we do like some aspects of the Army and are "proud" (cringe...

This is a safe place to ask any question related to joining the Army. It is focused on joining, Basic Combat Training (BCT) and Advanced Individual Training (AIT), and follow on schools, such as Airborne, Air Assault, Ranger Assessment and Selection Program (RASP), and any other Additional Skill Identifiers (ASI).

We ask that you do some research on your own, as joining the Army is a big...

Go to the fucking clinic and schedule your RASP/SOF physical you stupid loser. Quit just talking about it and then bitching about how you hate your job. Just go get your blood pressure taken, your butt touched, and piss in a cup then shut the fuck up and start rucking. Jesus Christ. It’s not that hard.

If you don’t go tomorrow, and I hear you talk about selection one more time, I’m going to use...

Hey guys, just trying to efficiently navigate some JKO courses alongside Skillsoft. I know I’ve done a lot that when completing the pre test 100% it finishes the course, and some the pre test only prepares you for the material. Does anyone know if there’s a list somewhere of DL courses with run through pretests like that?

Hear me out.

The Army pays for all of these buildings, they work with the blueprints with the contractors and say “yes, this is what I want built. I want that barracks building with like, 12 doors on the first floor. Doors at the bottom of the stairwell. Give me 20ish friggin doors on the bottom of the brigade building. Freaking take my money and do it.”

As soon as those buildings are up, with...

During the Obama administration a DoDI was published that laid the framework for lawful open/concealed carry on military post. It specified requirements and operated similar to "may issue" licensing schemes.

With the latest ruling from the US Supreme Court in the NYRPA v. Bruen case, I am interested in everyone's thoughts on the impact to installations.

There is already an exemption in the...

Currently, I am stationed overseas (Okinawa). Soon, my reenlistment window is opening up. I’m an ADA guy, and I would like to go to WSMR after being here in Oki, but I have never met anyone that has been there, so is this a possible duty station for me (meaning can my MOS go there)?

In terms of duty station assignment, I know the certifications that you have can an impact on where you get to go.

That being said any 25, 17, or 35 series personnel have any input on what certs to get that the Army actually looks and and you can put on your SRB?

I know you can take language tests and other stuff like that, but I'm interested in what certs the signal side can go after. I know...
