He had a loving obstacle course of sorts set up with tire flipping, kettle bells, upside down pushups with your feet on the wall.....it was loving stupid. If I hadn't half-assed it all I probably would have come out even more injured than I am now. You are me posting from the future aren't you? I was just coming to fuckidng say this. PT patches can suck my dick and I only saw two people that deserved it and didn't act like a oval office. Both were chiefs.

I could deal with army PT just being a waste of time. Nearly everything else in the army is so why not keep it consistent. But nope, that poo poo will gently caress you up, and the army as whole has known forever, and there's poo poo published on DTIC since the 80s that says drat near everything is loving stupid.

psydude posted:Running actually doesn't bother my bulged discs (in fact I usually feel better after). Now, deadlifts and squats? Absolutely. I basically can't do anything fun at the gym anymore and am relegated to doing lunges and body squats with kettle bells if I want a leg workout. I'm the same way. I run, bike, and swim, because having access to all of those in a campus gym loving rocks and I can't do squats very often without my back starting to sing arias of torment. Deadlifts seemed dumb to start with, and even just trying to do one (for some dumbass officer PT thing the S3 wanted to run) was enough to convince me to never do another.

So of course the army response was to demand 100% perfect personnel rosters at all times no excuses like reality allowed and make mandatory head count formations after every fire alarm because gently caress you, you live in the barracks.

No PT belt, no helmet, no gloves, but the fleece. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Maybe he's on his way to clothing and sales to pick up a road safety vest.

He knew the MKT down pat, packed a full case of adobo on his own dime and cooked really well in the field he was the only reason the battalion would even take the MKT along. after he left i never saw it again we was something fuckin special and im kinda sad i didnt get more time with him before he left

The army really does need to bring back the specialist ranks so that people like that can actually excel instead of being forced to do dumb NCO poo poo.

Except in many technical MOSes you're probably not going to get picked up for WOCS unless you're an E-5/E-6 with decent NCOERs. I loved working with 350Fs as they were usually the epitomy of fat coffee drinking intel spergs who didn't really care much about the rest of the whole Army thing other than their job. Pretty much everything you should aspire to be. The competent E-4s who don't want to or aren't cut out for leadership roles are just going to get out still.

i feel weird the bct that's in iraq right now is led by my old BC and he's a good dude who i respect a lot one of his LTs just got killed by an IED, which is sad i got this from facebook updates cause i'm friends with my old BC, and i dunno i felt like sharing the post i feel weird about it because i had a pretty cake deployment to AFG (arty PL) and i've been out for a few years now. i didn't know the guy who got killed and my only connection to this story is the commander, but i'm sure the family is devastated. i dunno, i feel sad but i feel like i don't have the right to because i didn't know the dude and my experiences were pretty positive. feels fake to share this with other people on social media manchego fucked around with this message at 17:42 on May 2, 2017 |

I know a ton of guys who would be good Soldiers for 20 years, but are forced into becoming NCO's and just fail right on out.

Always rough when I see an update about a death with zero details or mention of accident or deployment because 99% of the time it means it's a suicide. Saw one of those a few months ago who had gone green to gold, whom I worked with pretty extensively when he was enlisted. loving sucks.

Don't get caught up in the whole right to be upset bullshit. I wound up going to a funeral of a Marine I didn't know, who enlisted after I was discharged, solely because the brother of a friend of mine was in his unit and needed a friend to make it through. It hit me harder than I thought it would. If you think its sad, it is. I hate seeing that soldiers are still dying in Iraq and the middle east in general because we shouldn't be loving around in that hell hole anymore. You don't need to have personally known them to be sad that someone lost their life.
