Dude on the end is missing his PT belt, someone better get SMA Chandler on the phone. Before I retired they were doing the vote for the new APFU on AKO so I voted for the gayest looking one they had on there. I think it was almost all yellow or some poo poo, because gently caress you guys that are still in.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think one of the cost cutting measures was the removal of all reflective material from the APFU so that yellow stripe is not actually reflective.

Force them to get tattoos with reflective material in it.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That is the GAYEST poo poo I've seen. And when I went in, the PT uniform was that blue and yellow reversible poo poo with the San Francisco Gay Pride mesh poo poo liner. Never change, Army, never change.

I had forgotten how much more laid back drill is than being on active duty. Still gay, but less so.

This is weird but all 5 and a half years of active I never heard anyone say anything about a muta. Is that a reserve/guard thing only?

Corresponds to the number of inactive duty training (IDT) pay periods on a drill weekend, with a normal drill day being 2 MUTAs and a normal drill weekend being 4. You're allotted 48 per year (4 per month); however units will occasionally group them together into MUTA 6 (3 day) and MUTA 8 (4 day) drills for the purposes of FTXs, range fire, or AT prep while cutting one or both days out of another month (usually during the winter).

Every month needs block leave. I still think it's funny that Fort Drum does a two week block leave in summer as well. Do any other bases do this or is it just because we are in the frozen northlands and two months of summer is all we get?

Aranan posted:Every month needs block leave. Nope. I think a lot of units do summer/winter block leave. It's easier to plan things if you don't have everyone going on leave randomly all the time. You can also just force everyone to not use leave, like they did back in the good ol' days.

What was worse was when your platoon sergeant or whoever came up to you with a big poo poo eating grin and dropped that waiver down in front of you, that kept you from taking leave or cashing it in. They always wrapped that poo poo in Mission Essential (IE: nobody else wants to do your lovely job/we hate you and don't want you to take leave) or make vague references to poo poo going down that needs your personal attention. Meanwhile that fat loving whore with the 4 inch day-glo fingernails down in the PAC office goes on leave for a week every three months. Or your squad leader would deny your leave because gently caress you. Or your first sergeant because he felt you weren't properly motivated because you never show up to Class-A inspections. Or your CO denying everyone's leave because gently caress you that's why. Peacetime Army best Army!

And I guarantee there is some SNCO furiously masturbating to the bullet point he's going to write for himself about "enhancing safety" by reintroducing them as mandatory. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Realized last week that with all my leave saved up I could be terminal by the end of November. Feels good to know that it is down to months and not years. I will be the s6 for my last 10 months or so too. I am branch detailed signal so I suppose that's why they put me there. Better than the 3 shop. Anybody have any good luck with Rosetta Stone? I am thinking of taking German as I took it in high school so I have a little base of knowledge in it. And because I might relocate myself to Europe after I get out.

I'm gonna be going for a school drop, which puts me out around the end of December. In the meantime I'm going to be doing physical therapy until about the same time to rehabilitate my shoulder from the surgery I have, so I will be taking it easy the rest of my time in.

We had to go ahead and buy the new PT uniform as it was a requirement for this functional fitness train the trainer class, and it honestly feels really cheap compared to the current PT uniform.

Make continuous eye contact with each 1st SGT and the SGM as you answer each respective question. Stare them down. If you are going to be an idiot, be a confident idiot. It's like a prerequisite to become a senior NCO.
