Determining force shaping needs at this point is basically sorcery. You couldn't pay me enough to work in it.

When I was over in Afghanistan sat in on the briefings for how to reach 8.4k force limit via TDY and other accounting wizardry. Then the election happened and none of it mattered. Cannot imagine how much that Army HR Major who's job it was to do that hated her life.

when you're doing lifecycle force shaping you have so many variables to consider it's insane

poo poo like how old your force is, specifically down to the MOS/AFSC/rate/etc, all sorts of medical readiness related poo poo, etc.

then you present your findings to some SES and they're like MORE PEOPLE and you have like 3 months to basically redo your entire year-long study on how the gently caress you're gonna miracle that number

Hypothetical scenario: Trump resigns/is impeached and removed/strokes out, leaving Pence. Who do you pick for the Dems? I think at that point, Warren becomes a very strong choice.

I've just checked this with google images (and I wish I hadn't, jesus) - he is a man who cannot have a picture taken of him without him pulling a face like a 3 year old. Seriously, try and find one.

It was his best picture because the sun was setting and the light was hitting his face full-force, so it washed out all the detail.

I bet there were a few unmedicated ADHD sufferers that served during wartime during all of the wars we fought before such a diagnosis even existed. I think they would probably manage if they couldn't get their meds, the vast majority at least.

"Let's keep treating *condition* the way we always have even if we know it's not a great idea now" is a bad idea.

Edit: That doesn't mean I think all ADHD sufferers should be blocked out; also I didn't realize I had 130 loving new posts in this thread to read.

Let's not rush to loosen standards. After all, the US Army figured pony tails for women during PT hours in PT uniforms a grand total of a couple years ago, and we can't let this leniency get out of control!
