nothing new there https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2019/09/05/army-launches-inquiry-into-how-teen-with-autism-and-arm-disorders-was-recruited/ he's autistic, on anxiety meds, his arm is permanently hosed, and the recruiter just said lie about it quote:“My left arm is 50 percent weaker than my right, but I got a waiver for that,” Horsley said. “I’ve never been able to do a pull-up in my life and I max out on push-ups at 15 or 10. I can’t turn my hand palm up.” what a fuckin scumbag. i think there were some even worse cases during the peak of the iraq surge.

Yeah I don't think they'll be turning away (functioning) people with autism any time soon considering how many oddball latchkey kids are already in.

Frosted Flake posted:Probably the medication, actually. it’s this. you can have diagnosis. the issue is medication. whatever one’s difference is one must be functional medicated. it’s possible to get waivers for was medicated in the past but not anymore for some things. edit: but my experience here is only officers, it’s probably harder for enlisted folks.

Frosted Flake posted:The problem with longer, heavier, projectiles in 777 specifically is that the cradle already has serious issues and so increasing recoil force and chamber pressure is not really acceptable, neither is shifting the weight or balance to make up for it. I think I alluded to the problem's Ukraine is going to have with these guns logistically. Changing even one of these out has proven to be a major headache, and several would need to be altered to accommodate bigger shells, since even standard ones at reduced charges are wrecking the cradles and hydraulics. Frosted Flake posted:I have bad news about that Frosted Flake posted:This is an emotional rollercoaster. After telling private industry to gently caress off so they could make more guns, the arsenal reentered a Public-Private partnership "to help Watervliet Arsenal cut operation costs" american artillery and tank procurement has also been reformed into f-35 style contractor hell lol

Here's a funny video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5thfHTbOrg Highlights: - yeah we can just airland the brigade nearby. long range air defense doesn't exist and there is absolutely no chance of the bad guys shooting at us while we're still unpacking all our poo poo in the assembly area, we're always the ones who decide when to shoot at them. - minefields, obstructions, anti-tank ditches, or other fortifications around the objective don't exist - check out this sick heads up display - its a good thing they didnt sortie any of those su-25 looking aircraft since our organic air defense is *checks notes* a guy with a stinger - near-peer adversaries defending a critical installation wouldn't have anything heavier than a jeep right - well at least that cool gun is real and doesnt have any boondoggle-rear end problems ri- *touches earpiece* quote:The cartridge uses a case that is the same length and diameter as the .308 Winchester.[10] Each "hybrid" cartridge case consists of a stainless steel base coupled to a brass body via an aluminium locking washer.[11][12] Stainless steel has a significantly higher yield strength than brass, allowing the engineers to use higher maximum average pressure (MAP) chamber pressure levels.[13] oh right it shoots mithril-cased ammo forged in the bulletdeeps

Now that's not entirely fair In training they use brass only cases which are much cheaper, but also much less powerful, because barrel lifespan is drastically curtailed when you're using the full power cartridge! This is totally fine, the guys won't be able to feel the difference

Fortunately the enemy is sporting enough to park them in lines and let the US army destroy them.

They just need to show up and make facts on the ground like the wars they had fought during the 90s to the 2010s. It is an intrinsically backward facing strategy.
