we've had this convo before but I really don't get why anyone would want to be airborne like lol it's jsut for "cool" badges and poo poo. i'd see the appeal if there was a coldwar thing going on an dthe army wasn't a huge bunch of risk averse bitches hell the one combat drop against a 3rd world defeated military was into an airfield that was already secured by friendly forces ???

Everyone wants to be the 82nd jumping into Normandy, and it just snowballed from there where they convince a bunch of young idiots how cool and badass it'll be to jump out of a plane and how special they'll be compared to everyone else because of it. I guess.

Meanwhile the real combat jumps have fancy chutes and are more worried about being disavowed than landing on a rock wrong.

I got to spend an extra three weeks or so at Knox for their Stryker school. The weekend we graduated OSUT, a few of us went down to Louisville and I promptly got food poisoning from Red Robin. I was all hosed up for that weekend through Monday, so it was the most surreal thing come Monday morning PT and I felt like I was walking through a dream. Even though that morning really blew, it made me hungry enough to keep some food down and I felt quite a bit better shortly thereafter. I've eaten at Red Robin exactly twice since then. Welp, that's my story. We also learned very quickly that the locals are awful (Elizabethtown, not Louisville). Naked Bear fucked around with this message at 07:10 on Apr 25, 2017 |

You could technically get by without them but it made life a lot more painful.

What's kind of stupid about so many AITs and their pass/privilege policies is that "commander's discretion" or NCOs who swear they went to AIT uphill both ways seem to like to add a bunch of restrictions that aren't required by TRADOC at all. Overnights and booze aren't happening outside of special cases like year long AITs, but signing out with civilian clothes and going off post are allowed rather early in AIT. And there's no ban on game systems or personal computers in rooms as long as expensive stuff can be locked up. The reg was very recently revised and republished with more leeway given to brigade commanders to loosen up, especially with regard to on-post and off-post pass time. Also, despite what AIT trainees may be told, being made to wear reflective vests with OCP isn't a real TRADOC rule.

Your earliest shot to have any free time, or any privileges is about 7-8 weeks into AIT for 68W, when you can get Phase 5. Then you get released after school ends at 1800, and can use the time between that and 2000 bedcheck in your room, or go to shopette. And during weekend you only have to do first formation and bedcheck, so the 10-12 hours during day is yours, but if one screws up, there's always a recall, which happens almost every weekend. And it's ASU's only, jacket included. And since you only have about 7 hours between bedcheck and you having to stand in PT formation again, besides sleeping and hygiene, it's not like there is a lot of time to do anything. So here I can't really see the point of any computers or game systems. Besides, at least in this company, consoles are prohibited anyway, as are "computers or speakers that are too big". It's up to PSGs to decide what has to be mailed home. And I can't really see most privates argue with any sergeant about rules. Kinda like how some of our NG dudes whose unit patch was the broken tv from 3ID, were yelled at by their PSG for "not earning it", despite them arriving in it and the Policy Book (inpsectable item!!!) staing that NG and Reserve dudes should wear their unit patch. At least some of our PSGs are honest about how AIT had way more free time when they went through.

As with all things, if it isn't a big army rule, it can still be a commander/NCO rule aside from the really illegal poo poo like barracks rent and charging for cleaning supplies.

But it's still super gay because army.

Like NCOs saying to trainees that they have to pay for wax, Lysol, mops, etc and then pocketing the money while supply orders the stuff as usual. Or, in some even dumber cases, not even pocketing it but actually buying barracks cleaning supplies with the money.
