i should also mention my entire time in the army was as mech infantry, Brads and Strykers. being able to rip all that poo poo off and just be bare IOTV was required to crawl through the Bradley driver's hellhole.

Anyone know which office on JBLM to get in contact with to verify that I can in fact do the process to get paid for a DITY move on their end rather than here on Benning? Transportation office here said I could do that and just to tell them the website was down while I was clearing but wanted to talk to the office at JBLM to make sure.

Probably JPPSO: http://www.lewis-mcchord.army.mil/jppso/contact_information.htm Do you have a sponsor? Granted, having one that's responsive and not braindead is a crapshoot, at best, but this kind of stuff is what they're there for.

Thanks. And yeah I have one but he was assigned to me like in November last year but he has his own platoon now so it can take a couple days before I get a response from him. Which reminds me that I need to get a hold of the assistant S1...

One day I may dig through the archives to map my own downfall into bitter sarcasm and jaded hatred of the Army. But for now, I'm going to eat a burrito. Burritos > Army.

It sure would be real funny if one of them had to deal with a wound to the torso while all dumbed up. I wore poo poo on my FLC since getting in and out of a tank hatch is much easier without pouches making you wider.

Okay, burrito plan fell through. My day is ruined. Instead, I'm sitting in the waiting area surrounded by TRADOC kids with their little phase badges and water sources while I wait for my appointment. At least I'm wearing comfy civ clothes. I'll say it again, the best parts of being in the army are when you get to pretend that you aren't in the army.

FLC Chat: Like Mike-o was talking about, the ones Tactical Tailor and a couple other places sell are the tits. Basically just a panel with two straps on the top and two on the sides at the bottom, and sturdy buckles that you attach to the actual vest. Pop all 4 buckles if you want to go slick, just the bottom 2 if you're taking off the vest. Only time it's gay is if you're doing something with a FLC and no vest, mostly because anything you have to do that for is loving retarded.EVA BRAUN BLOWJOBS posted:The best part of being in the army is not being in the army.

Pro: No PT profile for two weeks. Whee. Con: Liquid diet for four days. Boo. Really wishing I got that burrito now.  Other con: Damnit, this means I won't be able to do anything in the gym after work.

Any of you guys ever tried hooking up a VSAT + CAISI to a MIRC and have it work recently? I'm being pressured by O4s all the way to our O6 to magically produce 4 working VSATs for our annual training when every single one in our brigade seems to be broken and now one of the techs in our ESB is telling me that even if we did get them to work, it only works on PBUSEs and SAMS-Es. Why the gently caress am I having to deal with all this when I'm just a spc-p.

SwampDonkey posted:promotable I know but (P) makes me laugh and isn't even a regulation thing, its feel good bullshit that Army people do, makes me laugh Source AR 600-8-19 7–37. Determining selection objective Soldiers in the selection objective, even though assigned but not yet promoted, are considered “promotable” while on the list, but will not use the letter (P) in correspondence or other documents unless specifically authorized or required by Army policy So when people write that poo poo on emails go ahead and use your general military authority. Edit2: Sorry obv him putting that on a GIP post is nothing, but just a fun fact I was reminded of CHICKEN SHOES fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Apr 15, 2016 |

Aranan posted:One day I may dig through the archives to map my own downfall into bitter sarcasm and jaded hatred of the Army. Not gonna lie I still have the questions about our MOS in my inbox. I treasure them for documenting your slow descent into the madness that we've all had to endure and the resulting bitterness because I get to watch it happen to someone else instead of living through it with stuff like this: psydude posted:No. But what I'm getting from this is that the Army apparently thinks satellite communications can be stood up at a moment's notice with no issue whatsoever. or some O6 Shitbird demanding I make said satellite communications hold as much data as he thinks we need on the physics-defined amount of bandwidth we are alloted. Or the CW4 that chewed my rear end in a top hat out for twenty minutes when I said "No, I will not do that, talk to my commanding officer" because they wanted me to rewire their building to give them more electricity instead of unplugging the electric space heaters under their desks that were blowing their breakers. Nothing personal, I have to enjoy what I can from the Army. Just most times it ends up coming at someone else's expense.

well yeah, satellites are just magic space antennas, you can point your radio at it and bounce it wherever you want as much as you want! The real g's bounce HF waves off the earth and sky like Pong

Or that they honestly think that their alternate plan of getting 8 corporate wireless routers for 3 months is economically feasible in today's reserve but here I am looking for prices so that our S4 has a heart attack when we report back. I can already hear the O6 asking for the contingency plan.

The VSAT, which is generally a piece of poo poo, will only allow you usage of .mil sites. The primary reason they exist is supply and maintenance ordering. Speeds are usually not great, however, especially if you're running multiple machines. I got to go to this party myself a few times recently. Also if you have to call Kuwait for tech support, the guys that answer the phones are shitheads. The shittiest kind of government employee, including soldiers.
