Bootchat? I picked up a pair of these this week: http://uspatriottactical.com/nike-sfb-field-ar670-1-compliant-army-tactical-boot-desert-tan/ Not as comfortable as my beloved synthetic leather New Balance boots but pretty excellent given that people are starting to care about boots being 670-1 compliant.

New Balance/OTB Desert Lites were basically running shoes (They weigh marginally more than some Asics GT-2xxx running shoes) that looked like boots yet were still somehow very durable. It's really a shame they're discontinued.

A Bad Poster posted:St. Louis style is awful. Imo's is just a cracker with little bit of sauce and provolone on it. Toasted ravioli, on the other hand, are great. Square cut thin crust is great. It's common in Midwestern cities, but only St. Louis uses weird rear end fake cheese; it's not even Provalone, but some Velveta-like poo poo called Provel. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2c/Provel.jpg

Derek Dominoe posted:This is all true, and I never understood the St Louis love affair with Imo's. However, they have possibly the best Chicago-style pizza at Pi. At least the best outside of Chicago. Imo's basically is Chicago style thin crust except the Chicago and Milwaukee areas (dunno where else this style is common) use real cheese.  http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2008/01/a-list-of-regional-pizza-styles-slideshow.html#show-85735

TBH 10 degrees to probably -20 doesn't feel all that different, layer right and you can walk around feeling completely comfortable as long as it's calm; it's the wind that is murder at those temps.

Naked Bear posted:Has anybody told him that literally nothing will happen to him if he doesn't ship? Maybe JAG types can chime in, but that might not be quite true with the Guard. Obviously the DD statement is a stupid and blatant lie, but on the other hand as soon as you swear in you're effectively assigned to your Guard unit.

Memento posted:This is exactly 100% why I joined the reserves You say that but I had about 3 years worth of actually wearing the uniform in 6 years as a reservist, plus that's not counting other time wasted in a non-duty status doing online training or stuff for subordinates between drill weekends. Depending on the branch/unit 1 weekend a month, 2 weeks a year is the absolute bare minimum. Flying_Crab fucked around with this message at 06:21 on Dec 28, 2017 |

Cenen posted:It’s the same unit as last time so now it’s super sketchy. The first guy did it with an m-4 in his mouth set to burst. The Dr who went up to declare it has been to Afghanistan a few times and pulled a ton of trauma call back in the U.S and he said it was still one of the worst things he’d ever seen. That's horrible.

CainFortea posted:I went to bootcamp with a 30 something year old ex-navy EOD. He got tired of the Navy and split. After 2 years out he was done with civilian life but hated the Navy so he joined the Marines. He didn't even try to get any kind of meritorious promotion or anything because he was going to get a bump up to E-6 (Or E-5, can't remember exactly) after MOS school. So he graduated as a private with no rank on his arms but a more impressive fruit salad than half the Drill Instructors. lol how the gently caress do you transfer services and come in as an E-1. Why would you ever sign up for that? There were ex AF/Navy E-5s in my Army BCT/AIT who wore their NCO rank the whole time.

It'd be really funny to see a prior service DS go back to BCT as an E-3/E-4 wearing a DS badge. That'd probably be among the greatest Army moments.

Godholio posted:There's currently a debate going on between departments at a base that will not be named over safety in some of the range areas. Most of the O-4s through O-6s are making the case that because it's not a live drop area, landing helos, operating UASes, and driving trucks around is no big deal. The guys who would actually be driving said trucks are, for some reason, hung up on the fact that the whole area was a live drop area from roughly 1940-1980. Leadership's response: "But it's not a live drop area!" I mean Germany is still inhabitable.
