loving thank you iphone timestamps. poo poo just saved me from getting an article 15. Had to text NCOIC at 530 every morning till today cause I missed formation a week or so ago. He didn't get the text till like 548. I had to convince him to let me get my phone so I could prove I did, then he went off on a diatribe about how contacting him means getting a response back, and if he didn't respond I should have called etc. I think the original counseling said text too.

Wasabi the J posted:Alright great mission Kiryen, gimme three sustains and three improves... Sustains: 1. We are now 36 hours closer to being done with AT. Definitely should sustain time continuing to move forward 2. OC/Ts were absent for 85% of the mission and during the other 15% they were infantry and MPs while our unit is Logistics. Sustain having OC/Ts that don't come around because they have no idea what we're supposed to be doing anyhow 3. While we're at it, sustain having me (an engineer officer) as the XO of a logistics battalion since I don't know what they gently caress we're supposed to be doing either other than "move supplies from point A to point B". Then the SPO and S3 can continue to make things happen without us having to go through MDMP, while I concentrate on business from back in the rear that absolutely has to get done despite the fact that we're on a FOB in Wisconsin where the exercise network is down most of the time. Improves 1. Improve the TACSOP. Mainly, this could be improved by not having one. Every TACSOP ever was written for central Germany in 1986 and is 5,987 pages long so that rather than being a small pamphlet a Lieutenant can consult when he's not sure what convoy formation to use it weighs 15 pounds and has such incredibly useful tactical items as the Chaplain's memorial service procedure and invaluable battle drills like "React to friendly nuclear strike". I hear we use that one daily in theater. Alternately we could improve the TACSOP by just having OC/Ts shut the gently caress up about it. 2. We can improve the problem of soldiers not wearing their IBA and helmets all over the FOB by removing the requirement to wear it. Seriously, no one actually does this while deployed and if you did you'd have anyone in the unit over 40 on permanent profile by the time they go home. No, it does not "build muscle memory" to wear heavy poo poo, you ignorant fuckwad. We can also not carry weapons around at low ready despite the fact that you're not supposed to have a magazine in them, dipshit. Make up your mind, is it supposed to be ready to fire or not? 3. We could improve the type of AT we do by not coming back here next year for the 5th time in a row. Amazing as it may seem, reacting to ECP attacks is not one of our METL tasks and wearing IBA around in the dirt for 3 weeks a year and spending the other 12 weekend drills hearing powerpoints on how not to inconvenience the Army by whatever flavor of shithead you think everyone is this month does not help the retention you're always complaining about. No, I do not care that there have been six accidental chokings on lollipops this year and that three of them were at Fort Lewis; I don't need a Powerpoint on lollipop safety. How about you just not recruit retards next time? Please ensure these lessons learned are captured for the takehome packet, tia

I always thought it would make for a badass Army recruitment commercial to CGI up a bunch of dudes jumping into Syria while the plane gets shot the gently caress up or the inside of an Abrams during a battle or something, with no music and just some silent title cards for each MOS and what they do when poo poo hits the fan. But I guess that would only result in a bunch of psychopaths joining, even if it would be way cooler than Marine commercials. So instead we just get some gay rooftop parkour so a dude can set up a tactical surveyor telescope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgdNFlsFWes like what the gently caress is this poo poo Army

The 90 day post deployment recovery period, does it usually start the day the plane lands in the US or at the end of the accrued leave time? Plane landed Jul 22nd but my leave went until August 13th. Please respond quickly your answer determines whether or not I tell my 1SG to piss off about getting me to come into drill tomorrow.

We landed home right before Halloween in 2005, but we were techically active until mid November. We had a week or so of daily formations at our armory, with like 3 hours of work (basically PMCS/inventory of stuff that had come back with us/weapons cleaning) but yeah after that we didn't have drill again until February

Last day of terminal leave, which is the day you actually leave active duty. However, the moment you show up to drill, even if it's early, you have to begin drilling again.

Okay, that's what I thought. My terminal leave end date is the same as the date on my refrad orders, which was August 13. I respectfully declined this drill, too, though I was nice and did my pdhra online from home. I'm not trying to be a dick, or an rear end in a top hat, or a pussy. And I'm normally the good "two hours early to everything" guy. I just think it's wrong to split yellow ribbon up into three drills to force us to come. Last two months they threatened me with AWOL (lol) and turns out he didn't even code me as U for the dates either. Though he did come to my house and yell through the door, which made it difficult to sleep.

Bogus AWOL is hilarious. Some asshat forgot to Email out a 4187 for like a month and tried to DFR a guy who'd been showing up to the "wrong" unit. Real AWOLs are a real pain.

"sorry you've got a lot of authority and remarkable leeway to accomplish the mission but you can't carte blanche violate ARs because you think it's inconvenient" also no i'm not going to apologize for keeping your own rear end out of a 15-6 for intentionally illegally flying people.

Only good part of being at brigade (other than packets being handled super quickly) is having access to JAGs to give you all of the juicy details about how wrong most commanders are. For example, did you know that if a drilling reservist tests positive for Marijuana on a drill weekend UPL, there's no grounds to separate them because there's no way to prove they were using on duty? Most soldiers cop to it anyway and accept whatever punishment is thrown their way, but if they push back they have a large chance of beating any punishment.

Wait, the problems is not that they were using it at all, but that they were using it on duty?  So if they just smoke it not on duty.....

And no, that's not true. AR 135-178 Chapter 12 states: "A Soldier may be discharged for misconduct when it is determined under the guidance set forth in chapter 2, section I, that the Soldier is unqualified for further military service by reason of one or more of the following circumstances: d. Abuse of illegal drugs or alcohol. Illegal drug use is serious misconduct. Discharge action normally will be based upon commission of a serious offense. However, relevant facts may mitigate the nature of the offense. Therefore, a single drug offense may be combined with one or more disciplinary infractions or incidents or other misconduct and processed for discharge under paragraph a or b, above, as appropriate. (1) Commanders will process for separation all Soldiers who— (a) Test positive for illegal drug use." When you use is irrelevant. If you test positive for illegal drugs, it's an automatic Chapter 12 discharge. If it's for a controlled prescription drug, the Soldier is given time to produce the prescription and/or dispensing logs from the pharmacy.

Retardog posted:And no, that's not true. AR 135-178 Chapter 12 states: It's not an issue of regulation, it's an issue of jurisdiction. Which the Army doesn't have over soldiers who are inbetween drill weekend. e: In other words, the commander can (and should) file a separation packet; however the soldier has a strong case if he or she goes to TDS and tries to legally block it. That being said, you can still lose your clearance, and there's no guarantee that the judge will agree with you. But I just thought it was funny, because it's a good example of just how little control the guard/reserve has over people who aren't on orders and who aren't on IDT. psydude fucked around with this message at 19:06 on Oct 19, 2015 |
