So I may be going on TDY starting Sunday but I still don't know for sure. I shouldn't be surprised that the army is this messed up and slow, but it still shocks me sometimes. At this point I'm expecting a phone call Saturday night saying I need to be on a plane in 6 hours.

In the Army, we have to always look professional when in uniform. That's why you can stick your hands down your pants to keep them warm, but never in your pockets.

Does anyone know anything about compassionate reassignment? Just got news today that my dad's cancer is back in a bad way, and my mom's cardiomyopathy makes it hard for her to take care of herself, let alone my dad as well. A neighbor at my last base said he got stationed there because of a similar situation in his family. I've found the listed requirements (DA Form 3739, written explanation from me, written explanations from the oncologist and cardiologist, and a letter from my commander) but is this something the Army even really does? I just want to be close enough to help my family out when they need it, especially since my sister just moved across the country with her Navy husband and they won't have anyone nearby.

Thanks, guys. I'll start filling out paperwork and talk to my first line about it tomorrow. Fortunately, my chain of command seems to be pretty decent so hopefully something good will come of this.

Figures that the first snowfall of the season is scheduled to hit halfway through our field exercise. Hooray!

Pfft, better than 1BDE and then doing it last month. What's the point of doing mountain peak training at fort drum if you aren't going to do it in the snow?!FOURTH WAVE LESBRO posted:Sucks to be
