So, this has occurred more than once apparently. Soldier wants to become a pilot, passes flight physical, gains approval of a CW5, passes all prerequisites, but when he goes to talk to the commander, that's the roadblock. The commander asks the soldier "Well, what are you going to do for me?" I told my guys just shut the door, put on some music and start stripping cause I can think of othing else!...

Are 16 high-speed CPTs going to solve the current recruiting problem?

I’m interested to hear the thought process behind this “broader, long-term strategy”

I’ll take a Jr. bacon chee’ and a half Coke / half Diet Coke, please.

As an Officer set to final out tomorrow, fuck 3ABCT and 4ID.

I have witnessed Soldiers get used and abused so an O-6 (and all their underlings) can appease the G3, G4, DCG-S, DCG-M, and CG despite us lacking the capability or resources. I have witnessed failures in upholding EO, SHARP and basic safety practices to the detriment of Soldiers. I have witnessed Soldiers who need BH to process...

Before you reply with some generalized “because it’s Fort Hood/Cav/it’s a black hole” that we’ve all heard of before, read why I’m asking:

I’m in Europe and getting ready to return, I’m genuinely curious and concerned because I have a platoon of Soldiers I care about and would like to be ahead of the stupidity going on there rn. I talk to my platoon all the time about what to expect, in fact I’ve...

Tlizzy doesn’t roll off the tongue as easy as it rolls off the rolling pins

RUMINT to follow: Apparently at some kind of senior WO conference next month, the discussion of transitioning tech WOs to a ten year ADSO is getting discussed.

I think most CMFs are struggling to retain their retirement eligible W3 population into W4, and the bleeding running into 2030 is reportedly‘unsustainable’. Like aviation, instead of fixing the root cause of people leaving (compensation or...

Every time I’m trying to enjoy my morning shit after hammering 6-7 cups of coffee down my gullet, I’m rudely interrupted by either an army mechanic or a civilian contracted mechanic who comes into the stall next to mine and proceeds to have some of the most violent and aggressive shits I have ever bared witness too.

They’re coughing up a lung to the point it sounds like they’re choking on the smog...

Title pretty much sums it up, this time though it wasn't the soldiers fucking with the wildlife apparently the coyote stalked and attacked the individual about a month ago. So curious if anyone knows how the service member is doing and if the coyote was found to have rabies or not?

I've never met a more inconsiderate group of assholes. From the European rotation, with port in alexandropoulis, them waking up at 4 am, trying to turn the lights on in a tent of about 100 people, to now, at ntc. They don't give a fuck who they share a tent with, they are inconsiderate as hell, turning lights on, being noisy as fuck, talking and laughing at 0600, not packing anything the night...
