My BN commander and one of our 1SGs is traveling out of state for some Army bullshit and instead of each person getting their own room like they're entitled to they're going to share a room because my BN CO wants to save the Army a few hundred dollars. How brainwashed do you have to be that saving the Army a few hundred dollars is a good idea? God drat.

CO will get a medal for fiscal responsibility and the future budget for travel will get cut because ‘it’s been shown that by combining rooms we could save money’ which will also get another O a bullet on his OER

i did a competition against some canadians and came in second (out of two, so last place). on my resume, i put "second place in so-and-so international competition" if i do that, i can easily see how a CO would do some really stupid poo poo for a bullet point.

This could be tryhard mode, but sometimes the unit's budget very clearly says you either share rooms or no one travels. Travel guidance got real weird during sequestration and resulted in total cancellation of important trips as well as really stupid travel setups for other trips. I also got to pay about 6-8 grand out of pocket, which eventually got repaid, but I had to start a turfwar between my boss and the retiree comptroller who was pissy about my travel for no real reason.

That will not even remotely register as a bullet point for a Bn CDR. I don't really see the problem if they're doing it voluntarily and not pressuring others to give up their JTR rights, and it's sort of a ridiculous argument to say that they are doing something bad unless your political position is that every soldier has a moral imperative to spend money. If he wants to jack off in the bathroom instead of the bed, then let him. There is enough legit poo poo to whine about.mlmp08 posted:This could be tryhard mode, but sometimes the unit's budget very clearly says you either share rooms or no one travels. This happens too. It may look silly to guys on the line, but if the boss says "we're spending too much on TDY" and you want to be able to influence the boss, then don't spend too much on TDY.

Good news story time. I lift weights with an old vietnam vet who's been fighting some weird cancer for the last couple of years. I bugged him about doing a VA disability claim (he had never done one because "I'm not disables hur hur hur"). Anyway, I get his medical records and other paperwork and help him file. Guess what? Agent Orange exposure and his cancer is on the list of crap agent orange causes. 100% disability, non-working (more money somehow), and a six figure lump sum for back pay. That old motherfucker is the happiest man in the gym. Side note: gently caress the Army's height/weight chart. I get pissed at skinny little weak wristed colonels who think because they can run forever and just go home to shower after an pft they're the poo poo. spacetoaster fucked around with this message at 03:58 on Dec 5, 2017 |

I hate Army PT period, get rid of it and let dudes work out on their own time. If they can’t physically perform for their jobs then chapter them out. Army PT is just a tremendous waste of time with no benefit. Dudes can do PT every day and still fail an APFT because they just don’t give a poo poo. I don’t even get the comraderie part, running in formation is dumb and sucks

lmbo. to chapter all the people that would fail IMMEDIATELY you would have to lower the recruiting standards to "Is alive y/n?" and once the OCP project gets underway that criteria will be null

Maybe you haven't heard that the Army needs like 16,000+ more troops and they're waiving marijuana drug use. The chances they'd chapter them out is lollable. THIS ISN'T THE OLD ARMY THAT I REMEMBER

tbf i really had wished marijuana charges were waiverable when I was recruiting, I think i could have put in some quality kids that had that. its dumb as gently caress too because like in idaho a roach or something will get you some huge charge but 30 miles away in Washington those kids wont even have to face those charges (after 21 etc) but its so loving stupid DEMON WEED

I'm not disagreeing, I'm just saying that the army is all about retention and recruiting these days, probably more so than 2-3 years ago.

Had someone that was RCP'd because he chose an MOS that doesn't promote. I've seen exactly 1 person get a 798 promotion score. That dude was loving, I don't know, insanely motivated.

Up or out means the force is, by design, an annual meat grinding machine. There is no master above manning requirements. Similar to how businesses fire people to generate short term savings that makes their board temporarily happy, annual fluctuation of end strength is congress/etc pulling the slot machine arm that could display waivers, bonuses, retention boards, and enforcing rules everyone ignores, depending on how the budgetary random number generator works out. The need to grow or shrink trickles down the echelons in predictably alternating cycles. Down at the user level this looks like chaptering a fat guy in September then giving another one a waiver and reenlistment bonus in October. You can't really apply your human logic to it.

Oh good, it's that time of year where we get costly and embarrassing spirit week army/navy videos. There's one by USMA that is 11 drat minutes long. Didn't watch it, but skipping around, it's mostly general standing around talking or walking places With A Purpose.

I started that poo poo loving like 9 month out.

It really left a bad taste in my mouth even more so. Ill never get the hate that those seniors have for those getting out or getting out because doctors loving cut their back to pieces and ruined their lives. Your Battle Buddy posted:i'm really high right now and i'm really like super loving glad I dont have to deal with that stupid loving poo poo in my life anymore qtiyd Yeah dude, I am really happy I played the game and now im loving the army in the rear end. So gently caress them. Also nothing like starting the day with a bowl at 7 am as I think about all the miserable pointless unorganized poo poo those poor souls are currently dealing with. I always think about safety briefs on Friday as I am floating through space boop the snoot posted:i made several hundred dollars on that "extra ruck and some ammo pouches" and i have no problem getting one over on the army for several hundred dollars. Just CYA and ensure they wont come after you later. YMMV. I just took all the extrra poo poo I had to surplus threw it on the ground and he told me to pick everything I needed for clearing.

I was asked to make an "Go Army/Beat Navy" video for I Corps and told them I would up until they liked my idea, and then made me remove 20 seconds out of a 30 second commercial so that the CG could say his name and "Go Army!" I ended up saying no.
