Nope.

Dailey's relaxing of the tattoo rule and adamant "No, we're not changing the PT test" conveniently masked the force-shaping policies that were being used to thin out mid-career NCOs, so my question is what new policy is this hiding?

There's a CIF guy at my last post who did one-for-one swaps of woodland/ACU patterned gear or poo poo that was worth less than $50 when you were turning poo poo in.

Don't have your ugly green fleece but have an extra wet weather top? You're good. Extra waterproof bag but no cloth laundry bag? Yep.

I had to restrain myself from laughing at the poor bastards at the other desk who were told they either needed to produce an ugly green fleece or eat a statement of charges, because Clothing and Sales only sells the poo poo-brown colored one now.

Wtf do I do with my uniforms now. Can't even donate them to the base thrift shop because all I have are the soon to be outdated stuff. I guess Goodwill? Trashcan?

Keep a pair of the pants for lawn work, sell the others to surplus stores.

Oh, definitely keep the waffles and silks.

If you've got a set of work pants you don't mind getting ruined when you do things, ditch the uniform pants.

Any of you guys working in intel see the Susan Rice thing? Any one of us would probably be facing prison for that (releasing of intel gathered on U.S. persons + their names).

Sheesh.

She didn't release anything, she asked if some names could be unmasked and there's no indication that the requests were approved. Big difference.

Was it approved? Or ignored completely? This came up in a discussion today at work.

We wouldn't know if it was approved/ignored/whatever. All that's been stated is that a request was made and that's about as far as it will get.

Yes, but you'd have a better chance of finding the phantom shitter in an Army brigade.

Looking forward to the intel sperg version which is a video of a guy crossing some turnstiles before being tackled by security guards and the video cuts out abruptly.

Kaliber what the gently caress is wrong with you that you suggested reupping instead of initiating a bar to reenlistment?

Classic Army tactic: Get him to reenlist for another duty station or school so someone else has to deal with him.

I'm surprised the Army doesn't have a brigade-sized mountain training center to complete the trifecta of terrible terrain.

When are we going go get ourselves into a land war involving mountainous terrain?

Remove scoring from the APFT entirely: All events are pass/fail, height/weight/bodyfat are recorded as pass/fail.

Take out the measurement dickwaving and you'll improve the programs.

if you didn't score at least a 240 in both units i was in you had to do remedial pt and would never get any schools ever

might have been 260

either way it blew

I had that once.

As an intel sperg working in a strategic unit in loving Yongsan.

To be fair, the company commander had literally no responsibilities, duties, or any personnel at the company beyond an o-room and a motorpool, so I imagine that policy was just "Hey, I need an OER bullet".

I’m going to leave from the military with a retirement. Hopefully in 18 years.

You're going to get a poo poo-rear end medical one in eighteen months.

I hope you didn't renounce your Finnish citizenship, because you're going to need some quality healthcare and you're not affording that on your E-4 51% disability paycheck.

Martello.

Also did a memorandum banning high and tights and frequently submitted stuff in Creative Convention.

I'm currently working at a two star strategic Army command which is basically Fort "Are you too broke to deploy or about to retire and want to set up your consulting gig?".

There's gonna be a lot of empty desks soon.
