Even 12 year olds have more sense sometimes.

Ashmole posted:Sustainable readiness model is garbage. It was designed by generals who grew up in the 80s and 90s army where you weren't expected to deploy between 9-12 months every few year or so. We get to return from Afghanistan and go pretty much back into training because readiness. But Objective-T!!!!

He's finally becoming a jaded junior officer, let him vent. He's about to grow his hair out and become a captain of zero fucks.Mustang posted:I just flat out don't understand leadership in the Army, particularly LTC's and COL's. It's all a dick waving contest. O-5s just want to prove they can be BDE commanders and so on. O-4's grin and bear it because they have no other choice but to go all in. I'm actually curious how the TSP is going to affect careerism in the Army since you won't have officers who are purely motivated by the pension anymore.

Talk to the BDE ammunition NCO, there's probably another unit with excess to spare.

I'm convinced we'd get our poo poo pushed in if we ever got into a real DA fight and if Bolton gets his way we'll get there eventually.

I'm changing my phone number when I get out, there's really no other option.J.A.B.C. posted:I know we had work/life balance chat before, but let me say this: I wish Army leaders would stop lying and saying that family is important - it isn't anymore. Family got tossed to the side a long time ago in order to sustain readiness. The new norm is soldiers missing three Thanksgivings in a row because of deployments and CTC rotations.

Vasudus posted:No it almost assuredly won't result in any drastic changes, but I'm going to do what I can. Unfortunately any changes this whole process can actually do won't be until 2022 or so, maybe longer. The money lost due to wasted man hours alone would be staggering. Do a case study of a single battalion. Hell, even a company. Or go even more micro than that, put a number on the amount of time wasted on DA31s when the whole process could be automated.

Warfighter? That's pretty typical, S4 is never given full consideration and logistics get handwaived. My favorite was losing a bunch of Apaches on a deep attack and having crews magically repopulate the next day. We're gonna do great in a real DATE fight if it ever happens.

I'm convinced that being in the army is like being in an abusive relationship, just gotta cut all ties if you actually want to be happy.

Thump! posted:Having recently started training on FRIES and Blackhawk poo poo, holy hell do they ever. Saw our pilots do a touch and go before picking us up and drat near knocked the running wheels off Assault/Blackhawk pilots tend to land aggressively out of necessity, once the aircraft gets IGE (in ground effect) overseas in dust you get totally blinded. The only time I've been scared flying is at night under goggles in dust conditions coming in for a landing, you are literally landing by control touch and watching your instrumentation.

It is so, so good. More importantly I need to toke up when I visit NY in July for 'medical' reasons. Just talking to everyone at work I felt like I was talking to inmates who were just counting down the years left on their sentence. It really does feel like getting out of jail.
