Beats a drat cot through novelty alone. C17 sleeping is the best. Ruined my commercial flying experience forever. Pillow, 3 inch thick sleeping mat, sleeping bag, and junk food for the trip for a kick rear end flight.

PRIVATE JOKER! WHY ARE YOU NOT PUMMELLING PRIVATE PYLE FOR HAVING SUCH A GAY-rear end PILLOW?

Man that's half the fun. Walking through the barracks on drill weekend the bunks were done up in all kinds of poo poo, including spongebob sheets.

Actually, now that I think about it, that would be pretty cool. No more OD Green US ARMY wool blankets, no more lumpy rear end pillows that the last guy who had them probably hosed nightly before turning it in on the weekly laundry turn-in, no more rough rear end abrasive sand-paper-esque sheets. Just Spongebob sheets, a nice down comfortor, and some decent pillows.

My AIT company had a competition during health and welfare inspections to see who could have the gayest bedding/pillows. Only winner I can clearly remember from that many years ago was the full-body Twilight pillow, though there was some stiff (heh) competition from the Princess Peach pink-on-pink sheet set. Surprisingly in an intel weenie company nobody was brave (read: socially inept) enough to go for My Little Pony.

Glad to see the tradition's still alive.

Don't worry, I had to do some room inspections when I was there (hooray for student leadership...) and there was a room with MLP decorations in it. Coffee cup, screensaver, and a poster. Sigh.

Never understand how the military could simultaneously be "gently caress them faggots" and "I can be more gay than you."

There's no reason women can't do pull-ups if the military would just stop assuming that women are physically incapable of doing it and start holding them to that standard. It has recently become a topic of discussion in the Marines now that they are letting women candidates through the infantry course, and there are plenty of anecdotes supporting that, with enough actual physical training, women could easily pass pullups. For the better, too, since it would mean you would get women infantrymen that are actually strong enough to be useful and not just army girl-strong. Making it difficult for women to pass isn't a bad thing and I don't think the people at TRADOC trying to make the PT test "fair" (read: easier for women in combat arms roles) is a very good idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtqW2SYYxP0 Would rather have that Ridley-looking lady than some twig that can flexed arm hang for 2 minutes or whatever.

The women in the Polish infantry were like 80s East Germany levels of jacked. They looked more fit than 80% of US soldiers that I saw.

Exactly. The standards have to be the same regardless of gender if you are going for gender equality.

Loving the fantastic advice they give in that video. "Tweet about it" because that is a solution to anything, at all. The video description is a gem too, "This video contains RAPE! If you dont like rape, or wish to not be affiliated with rape at the level of not even seeing the word rape, then, uh... don't read this sentence and watch the video. Sexist game dev pigs gonna sexism."

You'd think that would be a day 0 requirement, telling Joe that DS Biggus Dickus can't gently caress you under threat of chaptering you out and if you report them nothing ill will come of it.

Nimmy's experience mirrors my own. Basic had the deluge of Army Classes at the start, then a SHARP skit thing later on. During AIT, I know I had at least 6 SHARP briefings by bored Platoon Sergeants and an all-day long thing about "Consentacles" and being a "Blocktopus." It's a super important topic, but holy poo poo Army, you're not very good at getting the point across.
