You can also apply this to more than your family, it requires a lot of patience and love but I've been happier overall. Like sarcasm and snark are easy, convincing your friends to follow their dreams, taking time to understand their motivations, and contribute to their happiness take effort.

Mustang posted:Some people at work think the same thing but the rumour mill was already pretty strong about a possible deployment after NTC because of the crazy training optempo. Also remember that the more nobles begin to speculate, the more the line troops get hosed with and the more they become convinced it is coming. Some rear end kiss overhears more than one officer talking about it, and it can spiral into some retarded news cyclone.

mlmp08 posted:Btw the Army has apparently decided that what *millenials* really need to get through AIT and to be disciplined is drill sergeants instead of AIT platoon sergeants. AIT should have always remained Drill Sergeants. I thought it was a bit more organized having full-time cadre instead of burnt out MOS-T's trying to wrangle boots instead of going to the barracks and drinking like normal people. My experience with how AIT works is based off of Ft Gordon during '07 though, so poo poo was already hosed up.

mlmp08 posted:Similarly, had a junior enlisted soldier get hosed up on cocaine in a hotel room with some strippers. He'd been a pretty heavy coke addict prior to joining. He called his squad leader, said he had a problem, and he wanted help via ASAP. Squad leader and his PL, who I took over for about a month or two after this bullshit, tell him to go to ASAP. Some times the weenie fucks you, other days you strap that sumbitch on and gently caress the army back.

If you want a device to hold it flat, you want what's called a 'brim press'. If you have to use an iron, use a cool setting and low steam, with a pressing cloth in between the iron and the felt (you can get away with using a cotton sheet). High heat and too much steam will turbo gently caress the felt. Wasabi the J fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Apr 21, 2017 |

CHICKEN SHOES posted:In what part of the army do NCOs not run pt? Last time I deployed we largely formed individual plans. In Africa the teams were joint forces so it was actually on some weird volunteer status that the other services would show up to army PT. Most mornings it was armies doing army PT and navies and airmen sleeping for another two hours. Most weeks we had a PT day for the whole directorate where you could play Frisbee, football, or futbol. Everyone had to show for that, but another couple of days a week our sections leadership wanted NCOs running PT for bullet points. It got resisted down to once a week, but it was still worthless army PT that everyone hated.

Still working on my can't breathe VA rating. Also in national guard news, my unit's first integrated drill with our rear D was an APFT. Our combined unit pass rear is less than 35%. This includes profiles who didn't test. We're now going to active duty PT standards and re diagnosing failures every month, and recording every 6th. The optimists of my unit are like, "We need positive reinforcement and off duty PT sessions and NCOs to inspire a culture of fitness." Someone looked dead at my permanently profiled SNCOs and said, "It's pretty obvious nothing happens to failures for years, so why would they loving try?" COMPLETELY UNRELATED: No one understands why retention is so awful.

spacetoaster posted:Why would a commander include people who didn't even take an APFT in his rollup? That's a noob move. Because if he didn't it would be an even LOWER number of "Pass". Everyone got post-deployment fat, and that's fine, whatever, but the rear-D was already having a APFT fail issue. Oh yeah, and my command just realized that even if they "toughened up" on the regs for getting slows and fats out, they'd STILL have to wait for 18 months before the first soldier would be chaptered, since it takes three record fails. Again, why would the failing kids even loving try if they have to do additional PT anyway every month, especially if they don't have that much time on their contract?

Seriously any time someone claims to be military assume it's either unimportant or bullshit, because nearly the entirety of military service is unimportant bullshit. Also tell your friend to nut up and get a real relationship because long distance is for people who are insecure babies that can't face the more complicated aspects of a relationship (this isn't counting people in existing relationships, or meeting someone online, but your first contact shouldn't be "oh actually I'm somewhere I can't talk or see you). That is textbook catfishing 101. God that's so loving dumb if you're not trolling LMAO.

Your friend needs to be told in the least delicate way that they are making a bad decision for no immediate gain and a lot of potential loss to likely include death or fraud. If it really is a deployment they'll be back in a year or dead, so they can wait.

Get muscular and your shoulders won't hurt from side sleeping. (This isn't a "you're a weak bitch"post, it was more of a "I didn't realize it till I put on some muscle mass.") Or get a better pillow/bed. I love my Yogabed. And putting a pillow between your legs is actually really good for spinal alignment and back pain.
