Some CSM somewhere would smell you out by the lack of misery and then crawl up his commander's rear end about poo poo like discipline and combat readiness and there you are at formations at 4 in the morning.

I'm not saying it'd bite you tomorrow, but as time goes on the chances of getting that army dong approaches certainty.

yah idk I think I'd need to have you cite your sources on that. 'Making an example' of someone on IRR is a convoluted pain in the rear end

I don't have a link or anything. It was back in 05/06 timeframe.

quote:

The Army on Monday began moves to expel dozens of reserve soldiers who failed to report for duty months after being mobilized for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, in effect serving notice to hundreds of others that they could face penalties for ignoring or refusing orders to return to active duty.
The proceedings mark a turning point in the Army’s struggle to contact, train and deploy thousands of Individual Ready Reserve soldiers, nearly half of whom have requested a delay in returning, asked to be exempt or simply ignored their orders.

Yah I remember all that. Pretty confident nothing actually came of it. And I'm really not trying to beat this topic to death, but what you've posted in here gets repeated probably 1000 times a day amongst people in the Army which is the surest sign it isn't true. Like I said, I worked with some people involved with IRR and I'm pretty sure they couldn't get the ball rolling to change someone's discharge even if they wanted to (unless things have changed a lot). At least not over something as pointless as IRR musters and their hopelessly hosed contact info

I'd describe the day as that feeling your face gets when you lean in too close as you open your oven to check on the pizza rolls, except you replace the smell of pizza rolls with sand granules flying into your mouth and nose.

It's that unpleasant heat being radiated at your face, except the only way to shut the oven door is to get out

My old Guard unit is at the NTC right now. Started seeing some vague Facebook posts about "I'm safe" and poo poo.

Then someone posted a news article. One dead and three injured at NTC.

Nobody I know, but gently caress.

Nobody's released any details, but given that four people were involved in one incident, I'm going to guess vehicle rollover.

Those guys had it rough but made t so i didn't get hosed with at NTC so those dudes are cool imo. I literally had an OC go to an 0-6 and explain that certain poo poo want my job and tough poo poo.

Yep, that's the brigade I'm with.

Our OCs have been pretty good and, for the most part, chill.

The guy was in another​ battalion and was involved in an abrahms tank rolling over at night.

MSARNG released a statement on it, the tank was with 2/198th. That was the battalion I was in.

And now thanks to people squeaking through the system without attending NCOPDS (it has a new name now!), the STEP program:

And before going to school, have to do online stuff. Also deferments are signed by the first GO in the chain.

What's I'm saying is that it's been turned into this massively high visibility obnoxious thing where even if a 16-ton anvil lands on an NCO's foot a week before school, they'll likely have some CSM interrogating them.

There's the normal army fuckery, there's the stuff you'd expect to see on USAWTF, then every now and again someone tries to go for broke and become the example of everything wrong with the army itself; the type of people for which the phrase "All loving Nobles Must loving Hang" was created.
