Jesus. Formal PEB in 2 hours, show up to PT in ACUs cause I have to be there early. Get scolded because I "didn't let anyone know." Dude, I've told you like 5 times I have this board today. I have to be there early, gently caress you.

Guys. Guys! The formal PEB got waived at the door. They accepted the new condition putting me at 60% army side which will go up to 70% when the VA looks at my VARR.  It's happening!!!

So the formal PEB is a Physical Evaluation Board where I have to report, swear an oath to tell the truth, and answer questions for a few hours so they can determine if the item I brought up (in this case,PTSD. An automatic 50% disability) is a disqualifying condition or not. Instead of having to go through all of that, they pretty much stopped us at the door and told my attorney that they are willing to accept the new disqualifying condition of PTSD without subjecting me to a case of questions. Which is terrific. It also means that my previous disability (20%) is now obsolete which helps because now instead of getting a large sum of cash, see loan Id have to pay back, I get tricare for me and my family for life. The thing with PTSD is that it is an automatic 50% disability and you're put on the temporary disabled retirement list. You get reevaluated after a year or so. That percentage can go down to 10% if they deem fit. But with my legs getting another look at through the VA at the same time, and fully expecting them to bump it up to 20% for each leg, it will have me at 40%. So even if the doctors a year from now say I've overcome my PTSD (I won't) I'll still have enough percentage to qualify for permanent retirement medically. Which includes tricare, base privileges, etc. This will also make my VA disability 80% and Army 70% total

Facebook was killer for recruiting. I spammed the poo poo out of it. You are tasked with 100% contact rate with every junior and senior in your area, and our command wanted twice a year. That's a lot of loving people. Traditional (outmoded but still pushed by higher echelon) method is cold calls. But if I call Johnny's moms land line or cell phone (usually the numbers provided are the one the parents give as a contact when they register their student) and mom says "gently caress YOU DONT CALL MY KID" thats great, but what mom says doesnt matter, so it doesn't count as a contact. WIth facebook I can send them a message. Several can things happen. They say "Yes, tell me more, I want to join or at least consider it" cool, thats an appointment which I had to get like 5 of a week. They say "Yes I want to join, but I'm a sex offender is that OK???" and I can cross them off the list permanently. They can politely say no, which is still a good thing, because it's still a contact. The one extra bonus is facebook read receipts. If it says that it was read with no answer, its fairly safe to say that is also a "not interested" which is still a contact. Yah its a little creepy, and the moto poo poo is just there because likely it's purely for recruiting, not his actual personal one, though I'm sure many cross that line. It's really effective though. Worlds more effective than calling someones house unsolicited at 5pm and hoping they're home and that you can get through the whole telemarketing aspect of it, not to mention nearly every parent will say gently caress NO as a knee jerk reaction. The parents that say "OH HELL YES PLEASE TALK TO HIM" is usually a bad sign, because 9/10 that kid has had some law trouble.

Oh wow, yeah I figured that the account was purely for recruiting purposes only, don't know the dude and could be riding his time out in recruit duty. I enlisted back in 04 so this poo poo is like completely foreign and new to me, although it makes sense that they'd adapt to the future. poo poo you guys post Tindr recruiting all the time I shouldn't be surprised.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/soldier-fires-apache-live-ammo-161500887.html So I know ya'll already talked about it but I was the actual ground commander controlling the two helos that were shot at. My PSG was running casevac and I'm providing some cover for him with the apaches when we hear the distinctive CRACK of live rounds. Then after telling me he has 45 minutes of play time the pilot radios "uhhhhh something is going on we need to leave right now." Some red faced sweaty OC comes running over a hill screaming about live rounds and take cover in your Stryker and ahhhhhhhhhhh. It was p gay. But we also got a 3 hour safety stand down / nap time / poop time. On the plus side it was actually a fun rotation given the weather wasn't hell temperature and I brought an entire tough box worth of food and didn't eat a single MRE. Honestly being a scout PL has been fun. Now I'm off to Jackson to be a desk jockey. Anything good over there?

I brought this up in the hangout but I think it's worth discussing here too. My wife attempted suicide in October and her Reserve unit put her on orders so she could be seen by mental health. Clearly it didn't work because she committed suicide in December. I have a copy of the Army's investigation report. Here's an excerpt (emphasis mine): quote:Additionally, numerous individuals in [McNally's wife]'s chain of command expressed frustration that after the Soldier's [redacted] requests for information (RFIs) seemed to greatly outnumber offers of help and support. [McNally's wife]'s leaders and support personnel were particularly irritated to receive repeated variations of the question "has the Soldier undergone suicide prevention training?" This question implies that suicide prevention training is an inoculation against suicide. Repeated RFIs seemed motivated less by concern for [McNally's wife]'s well-being than a bureaucratic desire to avoid blame and ensure a specific block was checked. [Redacted] like [McNally's wife] [Redacted]. [McNally's wife]'s leaders in [unit], who worked to get her on orders and linked up with mental health professionals, deserved resources and support, rather than second-guessing of their actions and unnecessary bureaucratic obstacles. So apparently instead of getting a soldier help, the Army was more worried about making sure boxes get checked and playing CYA. I really really wish I could sue the Army. I guess I'll have to settle for sending an angry letter to my congresscritters, the COS, the Secretary of the Army, probably every member of the House and Senate Armed Forces committees, and every media outlet I can find addresses for.
