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 |

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.

http://www.armytimes.com/article/20140331/NEWS07/303310051/Black-female-soldiers-say-new-grooming-reg-racially-biased- (copied from the OP) I hate to be the racist here, but didn't the old 670-1 specifically ban "faddish hairstyles"? I remember there was a furor about tapered sideburns (for males) or some poo poo when I was in. The argument that one of these soldiers has(who sent a petition to the White House, no less) is literally "what am I supposed to do with my hair if I can't wear it this way?"

Hell you probably should Now thinking back. People would make off with cases any chance they get to save money. I knew a guy who lived off MREs at home for a couple weeks.

You must have a golden rear end in a top hat. I usually poo poo a painful brick after a day or two of MRE consumption. E: Imagine being on opiates and subsisting on MREs. Your bowels would be like an anti-poop generator.

FIDEL CASHFLOW posted:although, i did learn from it that the chief of staff of the army can "prescribe their own uniform" which makes me wonder why they don't just say "fuckit" and go nuts I'm going to guess that although many people have the authority to change whatever the gently caress they want about any branch of the military, ultimately they have to fund that shitshow of an idea. Lets not forget that mom still has the checkbook. Flipped through AR670-1 changes today. It honestly looks like someone thought to themselves "holy gently caress the Army interpreted our intent in the most retarded way possible. We better spell it out to them." With lots of pictures, and a pinch of racism. Specifically the sideburns thing. "Lowest opening of the ear" was pretty commonsense, and so many times I see dudes walking around looking like sideburnless aliens. The only exception is the moouusstachhe, which still leaves everyone looking like a pedophile, hippie, hitler, or (if you're a CW5 and continue to give no fucks) badass. edit: The best part is the amount of material they produced about how to be a leader, lesson plan books, etc. that say literally nothing. I wonder how much time and money was spent on them. The only good poo poo is those Youtube videos, which is blocked on post. iceslice fucked around with this message at 04:44 on Apr 2, 2014 |

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.
