gently caress you, I'm making this month's thread. But let's stay on topic here, folks. According to the Long Green Line's most venerable news source, Army Times, the new AR 670-1 is already stirring up heated controversy, eclipsing less important subjects like sexual harassment or the impending reductions in force. psydude fucked around with this message at 12:46 on Apr 1, 2014 |

ryan_woody posted:Why isn't there a changelog for the new 670-1? Are the changes all tattoo / hair poo poo? I have to put together a dress uniform for the first time in 6 years and can't tell if anything is different or not. It's at the very front of the AR.

Oh good, the new evaluation system automatically logs you out if there's no change in your session state after 5 minutes. In other words, if you spend more than 5 minutes, say, typing up your performance objectives and achievements, you'll lose all of your work. Way to loving go, Army.

Kanish posted:Idk it still annoys me that they throw around the PTSD and deployed to Iraq thing in conjunction in the reporting, if he was seeking help it was for something day to day life, and not deployment. I like all of the guys here that bitch about "Obummercare" and welfare queens and then sit around talking about how they plan on scamming the government to get their disability rating increased after they get back.

So the CSM stopped by the range today on BAF and wanted to know why we didn't have blank firing adapters on our weapons.

DoktorLoken posted:How much control do Army Reserve/National Guard SMP cadets get over branching? Is it possible to be guaranteed a slot in an open vacancy or at least a branch? In the Army Reserve you literally just pick your branch and duty station. I was on an active duty scholarship instead of SMP/GRFD, but the process is identical: I went to the Army Reserve tent at LDAC, pulled up the list of all EN positions, and found the vacancy. When I got back, they submitted a memorandum for the branch and vacancy and that was that. In the Guard, you have to get a LOA and the process is a bit more involved; I don't know much more beyond that.

friend of the family DEATH TURBO posted:so his statement is accurate in general then idk I guess I don't understand the active duty smugness. I've dealt with just as many hosed up AD units on this deployment as I have Reserve and NG units. The thing of it is, there's a lot of retards in the military in general; the question is whether you'd rather spend all day every day around them, or only deal with them one weekend a month.

It's Cherry Blossom season right now in DC, so you can pack into a metro car with a bunch of fat midwesterners and tour Arlington National Cemetery. I recommend going up to Annapolis since it isn't tourist season there yet.

manchego posted:My wife really wants to go see the blossoms, so I'll be joining the packs of fat tourists in DC this weekend. I'd arrive as early as possible to beat the majority of the crowd. Fortunately they stop the weekend track work during cherry blossom season, so you won't have to wait 30 minutes for a train. The best places to drink off the green line are RFD and Iron Horse at Gallery Place and The Saloon at U St. RFD and The Saloon both serve food. e: And it warrants a mention that pig Whip will be out and about to brutalize your day.

Kaliber posted:The best part about him is he slams people for APFT failures and not meeting weight/tape. Sounds like the terrible O5 we had during mobilization who got relieved for crashing a GSA van and pinning it on his white cell NCOIC. He banned everybody from traveling outside of a 200 mile radius during pass, and then promptly hopped on a plane to fly back to Tennessee.

gleep gloop posted:Yeah this is something I've heard a lot to. Apparently I was better off being the big fatass when I was in basic rather some twink. In my last unit I had 2 soldiers in my platoon come back with spiral fractures partway through basic training. We had another 3 in the company who had some other kind of musculoskeletal injury that basically ruined them for life. One guy was walking with a cane. Our CO's brother was a basic training company commander at Benning and said they're seeing a growing number of kids come in who don't know how to run.
