Justin Tyme posted:Those issue Bellevilles are goddamn indestructable, I somehow was one of the only dudes in my entire basic company to get them (everyone else got the lovely ones with the sharp triangular thingy on the sides, Bellevilles have the rounded triangular thingy and "Belleville" printed on the heel) and I used them the entire 3 1/2 years of my enlistment. I liked them so much I bought another pair when I needed to get better/cleaner garrison boots for some parade or some poo poo since they were (relatively) cheap. I've had my Belleviles for 4 years now and they're just now starting to fall apart.

not caring here posted:All that PT insignia and vests with name tapes for officers and SNCOs is all dumb anyway because it's too dark to read that poo poo at 6 am so if some dick head wants a salute or greeting or dick holding then he better shine a flashlight on his poo poo all loving morning. Are you loving kidding me? They only found that out NOW!? Are they gonna fix that poo poo asap, or are you gonna be afraid of getting a full-blown aortic dissection every time you sneeze?

Yeah, took them a while to find it, but to their credit, when they did poo poo happened fast. I get a call saying "come down to the TMC, we got some meds for you, oh, and no physical activity. At all. We got a profile for you to pick up that says that, but if anyone wants you to do anything in the mean time, tell them the OIC at the TMC has given you a direct order." Got referred to an off post cardiologist immediately, which was nice. Got some hi res CT scans, and a surgical eval the same week. Basically, the aneurysm is stable, for now. It's at 46mm, whereas the rest of my aorta is around 21 - 22mm. You wouldn't think there's that much room for poo poo to just bulge out like that, but apparently there is. They say I've got good genes for my heart plumbing as it's probably not going to get any larger unless I start exerting myself wildly. Meds slow down my heart to it's pre accident rate of just under 60, and sits my blood pressure at about 120 over 70, to take the load off the artery. My heart was getting pretty excited there for a while, I figure because of the aneurysm behaving like a hosed up MAF sensor on a car. It's nice not to have that pounding in your chest 24 hours a day. Surgeon doesn't want to touch it unless it gets above 55mm, which is pretty loving crazy sounding if you ask me, but the complications associated with cracking your chest open like a boiled crab shell to tinker with your ticker are severe enough that they don't want to touch it until it gets to that size. If it gets to that size. In the mean time, my permanent med board profile is as long as my arm, and basically says I can walk, in a military uniform, own pace and distance, but not in cat 4 or 5 heat. Only exercise I'm supposed to do is by written approval of my cardiologist. The only thing he approves of is yoga, so I suppose the upside is that I can stare at yoga butts all day if I want to. Spoke to the wounded warrior people and they say it's disney disability fun bux time. So I suppose there's that. Obama Africanus posted:gently caress you, United States Army.

Nobody has given me poo poo about my New Balance OTBs. Also, all of these boots were never in compliance with AR670-1 because of the synthetic leather. Only tools care about something so trivial. Although I've been planning on getting a pair of Rocky S2Vs since New Balance discontinued my favorite boot. Should probably do that soon in case someone actually starts caring about boots and makes me wear my awful issue boots that haven't been worn since BCT.

I'd like another couple years out of them to justify spending however much they were. Hopefully the huge amount of NCO's still wearing Nikes on Ft. Rucker will distract anyone who cares.

If there ever was an army policy so dumb that it wouldn't be enforced it'd be that, especially on ftx's and whatnot because literally everyone has gofast boots, but then again the army is gay

http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/25621346/hawaii-based-military-command-under-investigation The answer to the question of how many Americans can be recovered? Not alot. And the road that cost that much money is basically gravel. Like what you would find in the COPs/FOBs across Afghanistan that has no paved roads.

First half of my signing bonus dropped into my bank account, literally hours after I had just cash money bought a new car and thought I was loving broke. Not sure whether to be upset that I didn't have that money to spend on a nicer car or glad that I didn't spend that money on a nicer car. Thanks Army!

They gave an announcement at SBOLC today asking who wants to be stationed in Kuwait. I was thinking, "Who the gently caress would want to, willingly, be stationed in Kuwait?" Turns out the answer to that question is, everyone else besides me. ...am I missing out on something over there? The only valid reason I saw was that someone was originally going to Ft. Bragg so he immediately jumped on Kuwait.
