Super nice dude, saw my stupid WW2 pin-ip Marines sign my sister got me for Christmas a few years back (http://www.amazon.com/Marines-Beach-Soldier-Retro-Vintage/dp/B005AXTAHQ/ref=pd_sim_201_10?ie=UTF8&refRID=16XX92H8VG2HMW7MSKHX) and chatted me up for a minute about being in the military. I asked him why he was delivering pizzas and he just said "For spending money" Which I guess I kinda understand. Just kinda shocked that an E-6 in his early 30s would be using his free time to do that is all.

Triggs posted:That's all BOLC is and it doesn't get better when you're a new LT. It's not even better as a Major OC/T: "XO, why haven't you done any MDMP during this exercise?" Me: "On what event?" OC/T: "On the injects and such from higher.. all you've done is taskers" Me: "We've had.. A broken-down vehicle to recover, our normal daily supply distribution, a notification that a medical unit on our FOB that doesn't fall under us will have a Canadian dentist attached, a notification that an Army band will show up and play music, and several O6 and above visits. On which of these should I have done MDMP rather than just put the information out and let the NCOs handle it?" OC/T: "Well, your staff isn't getting much training that way." Me: "By all means, give me something to do MDMP on, I've been waiting for 9 days." OC/T: "I'll.. get back with you tomorrow." I learned at this exercise that our main roll if we deploy is to sit on a FOB and repel drive-by shootings.

I totally enraged the drill sergeants in basic by saying I should have gone to college, guess that was too much for their pea brains to handle so they exploded. I had to do like two hundred push-ups that day. Everyone else in Spartan Platoon had a new-found respect for me after that.

Third woman to graduate ranger school is a 37 year old EN O4 in the Army Reserve. That's pretty damned old to be doing hooah schools.

Fun fact: it only took her 6 months to complete the ~2 month school. Come for the prestige, recycle for the candy flights?

Tell me more about why anyone cares that another woman graduated the army's boy scout camping school. Seriously, why the gently caress does it matter? I don't give a rats rear end for any guy graduating and I equally give no fucks about a chick graduating. If anything its impressive that someone my age can still do that poo poo regardless of gender.

Not to sound sanctimonious but the same argument could have been made against Rosa Parks about sitting in the front of the bus; it shouldn't be a big deal but it's another important landmark in equality in the armed forces because it was literally off limits for hundreds a of years.

In re-reading my post, I realize I didn't phrase it right. I'm more asking why people are getting so butt-hurt about women graduating. It's not like there's a penis pole-vaulting day at Ranger school, so why would it matter.

Because the Army is a place for men to walk around singing songs and talk about each other's hair.

I just want to go to a school where they teach me how to be a james bond type soldier. The one who learns how to dress fashionably, force women into having sex with me on boats, can drink copious amounts of alcohol but still round-house kick bitches in the face with precision accuracy, drive/fly anything. Also would allow me to not adhere to AR670-1 and grow sick hair-styles and not shave while I'm in the Bahamas plowing women for secrets of their bosses intention to sell plutonium to ISIS.
