Do you guys just have no rear end whatsoever?

I got the same little scabs/raw spots, right where my shorts would rub them and be even more annoying. The solution would be "don't have soldiers do sit-ups on bare concrete"...but lol army.

what was the thing they started having people do? The rower I think. Everytime I do one of those I get this deep spinal POP that can't be good. I'm glad I didn't have to do them a crazy amount like push ups or situps because I'm sure that was leading me down the path to some hot spinal trauma

I have plenty of rear end, but situps still killed. Pounding your tailbone into the ground over and over? gently caress that.

I have enough butt muscles to not smash my tailbone. However, it stopped being good that I could max the hell out of situps or do a couple hundred nonstop when ultimately my back blew out, so now they're dead to me forever, and I don't have to do them anymore. Success? Also the latest rumor mill is that they may stop opening up CDR/CSM slots to anyone who has a profile that stops them from doing all 3 APFT events. So if that comes to fruition, it will necessarily thin the herd of qualified persons to only being able to pick from people who somehow never got seriously hurt. gently caress you, officer/NCO who got injured or earned a purple heart getting hosed up in combat, and is otherwise totally qualified to lead formations! I'm hoping that rumor is just a rumor.

When I was getting out I was in the training room, and word came down that E7s were to be relieved of their platoon sergeant slots if they couldn't do all 3 events, failed a PT test, or failed height and weight. First sergeants and sergeant majors could keep their slots though.

I've seen people get passed over for command or 1SG positions for a profile, but not removed once established. Being removed for height/weight or APFT has been pretty standard fair for 1SG/CSMs where I've been, though. I've seen commanders get quietly told they have 30 days to get their poo poo together if they gently caress up on height/weight or APFT or face relief. It's already a bar from being appointed to the position, though, and some pre-command courses weigh/tape officers at the school to catch those who've been fudging their paperwork or getting generous tape tests from their home units. e: I remember an NCO talking poo poo about his 1SG for having a pushup profile. You know, the 1SG who got that profile when he had his elbow shattered by a round passing through it during an ambush, then still used his good arm to pull a soldier and an interpreter out of the killzone while under fire. mlmp08 fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Oct 7, 2016 |

Just an APFT and a new commander that's actually a medical officer that had to go to command school for six months and who is also a gigantic emasculating dyke with a "may I see you manager" bob haircut, who also has a hard-on for finally "getting the chance to make us like a real army unit." Kill me.

Tell your commander that real army units deal with real army problems, then drink a handle of whiskey, grab her breasts, and try to make it off post before the MPs can stop you.

The army recently decided that the medical direct commission program was too much of a "gentleman's course" and took the course away from medical services so that they'd have to do "real army" training. Enjoy your future To be fair, part of this was in response to GO's in the medical service being sick and tired of hearing about med service corps officers whining about field/deployment hardship.

She wants to make a guard unit do litter carries for PT. Like, not sometimes or as a supplement, but like 100%. Half of the unit is HQ and support anyway.

Just went to have a look at that army wtf moments page and hoooooooly poo poo what a fuckin' time to be in the army Post surgery soldiers, a pregnant soldier, med board soldiers all jammed onto a bus for 18 hours to go pull bullshit details. Even dudes with concussions from a recent jump put on guard duty. Then the evac situations due to matthew just completely rear end hosed from stupidity. Goddamn, I feel sorry for you fuckers still in.

One of my E6s got a PA to forge a release note from the Ft. Knox WTC back in 2014. Apparently they were using recovering soldiers (including SNCOs and FGOs) for what amounted to chain gangs, regardless as to their injury.

Work was my battalion commander and he's a fantastic person and I'd work for him again in a second if I was still in. He went well out of his way to give a poo poo about his people, and the picture being painted doesn't square with me at all. Well, that's my story.

Got issued gear for deployment from CIF through STATE. Everyone left stupid poo poo for east Africa like marshmallow suits and arctic sleeping bag back home. Went through Hood and got only plates. Deployed with a Tricon to ship non-critical gear. EIGHT MONTHS LATER.... We are not allowed to put anything with OCP in the tri-con. We are not allowed to put non-military gear in the tri-con. No one knows what the gently caress we can put in the tri-con. Ft Hood CIF states they want every item on hand receipt from CIF. Ft Hood states they will give statements of charge for any item not turned in issued by CIF. No one has arctic suit. No one has arctic bag. No one can fit this poo poo in two 70 lb duffels to get back to America. I hope you're having a hooah day. Wasabi the J fucked around with this message at 13:13 on Oct 8, 2016 |
