Stravag posted:Sadly i went to a military religious school with mandatory jrotc from 6th until 10th so it was a before homeroom after school thing. Christianity got its own class tho because why not. And the people doing uniform inspections every morning only vaguely knew how many activities you were in so after i got the 2rd triple ribbon bar i stopped because gently caress having to pay for those stupid things. Also "your tie is crooked by an 1/8th of an inch you lose promotion points today" cool go gently caress yourself. Yeah that sucks. Our organization was super easy and laid back. It took something truly stupid to really cause a problem for anyone (like say...stealing a fire hydrant, then putting a BDU blouse on it because it was the in way of formation and too heavy to move in time).

redreader posted:A (USA) colleague just told me her son can't go to Mexico because he's in the Marines. She said nobody from any of the armed forces is allowed there on vacation. Is this real? This is the last guidance I heard. redreader posted:She said that the Trump administration had banned travel for all parts of the armed forces to Mexico because of the wall or something. I was like 'WHAT? REALLY?'. I suppose her son is lying to her about the reasoning or whatever, then. I think she just hears what he says about it. She did mention Tijuana too. (She's not a Trump supporter). Thanks for the info! I though it was too weird to be true. Oh yeah that's all bullshit.

Remember when the filibuster was destroyed because it benefited the party in power, then the other party took over and it was bad for everything ever since? If you put all the legislative power in the House, how do you expect that to end differently?

ulmont posted:Yes, the US should reform procurement by following the example of more advanced nations like the UK and Canada. Reminder that in a small campaign, NATO literally ran out of bombs. Also, the Royal Navy had an operational aircraft carrier with literally zero fixed-wing aircraft in the service (besides trainers, which aren't carrier or combat capable) for several years until 2017 or 18.

Deathy McDeath posted:Marines who do these kinds jobs will absolutely not tell you that they "can't talk about it". They will have a cover unit, the unit's mission, and a POC at the very least. This guy is full of poo poo. They'll usually just avoid the subject altogether. Here's a comparison, because I knew a former Force Recon dude. The closest I ever came to finding out what they did over there was when he was ugly-crying from survivor's guilt as a mutual friend and I coaxed a loaded AR15 from his hands while his wife in the next room was screaming and begging him not to kill himself. Your friend of a friend should shut the gently caress up.

Memento posted:33 was one of the best episodes of television I've ever seen 33 is excellent, and there was some good stuff while they were on New Caprica, too. It was pretty grim at times. I never saw any of the spinoffs, but they're not so fondly remembered. LtCol J. Krusinski posted:Spine problems at an unusually young age? His life the past couple of years has been a string of "What the gently caress?!?" moments. Did he actually get his daughter back? Last I heard the wife/kidnapper was hiding out in a women's shelter.

For some reason Sill had some of the classes a bunch of people needed from OU for their masters. So they'd have to drive a couple of times per week from OKC. That's my Ft Sill/Lawton story.

Uh..."use it for whatever" is a huge loving NO-NO on the GTC. People get busted all the goddamned time for using at the local Walmart by their home, or at strip clubs, etc. But if you have one, you're actually required to use it for lodging and airfare at a minimum. Shredding it would probably get a letter of counseling in the AF, whereas abusing it can get you an Art 15. Midjack posted:Clark got shot at the red light. The gangsters subsequently kidnapped Pam, I think shot her full of heroin, gang raped her repeatedly, strangled her, and left her corpse in a fountain. Clark bought an AMC Eagle for his stakeouts. I can't bring myself to reread anything by Clancy. Haven't touched them in 20 years, loved them as a kid. I might try The Hunt for Red October, but that's as far down the rabbit hole as I'm willing to go. Godholio fucked around with this message at 08:20 on Feb 15, 2020 |
