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.

It's because they presume that all soldiers are dumb, and should stick to typing small words that don't take long to think about.

* Flings poop at officers

After 11 days in the field - woulda been 12, but I got the FSC commander to hook us up with an early exfil - we didn't even get a 3-day. In fact, we were all supposed to work on Saturday and Sunday (AARs and some closing ceremony or some poo poo) but fortunately all the higher-ups decided that they didn't want to work over the weekend either. None of them were out there with my company, naturally.

We get this Friday off, but somehow I feel like that doesn't make up for missing two weekends in a row and living in 0-20 degree weather the whole time.

I just came back from a deployment and they told us that since we had so much downtime while deployed (I guess 4-5 days a week outside of the wire isn't enough) we don't get any time off except block leave. Never mind that we missed like 3 major holidays and the group had a 4 day the week before we came back...

I for one am all for keeping the shooters at Fort Hood, at least until I ETS anyway. Then they can shoot up Benning once a week for all I give a poo poo.

There should be a White House petition to authorize combat patches and imminent danger pay for Fort Hood. They see more action than anyone in Kuwait ever did.

PTSD is just "Post-traumatic stress disorder", not "combat-related stress disorder". Technically, victims of spousal abuse or people who got picked on too much in basic can have PTSD. People don't know poo poo about soldiers and anytime someone puts "mental disorder" near "servicemember", the American public immediately thinks "Oh! PTSD!"
