Retired 24 years ago and it still looks like not too much has changed.

Possibly one of the dumbest things I've seen in the Army. Right up there with putting pull up bars at every base and armory across the country, then not using them to do pull ups.

Pull ups I can see, as they actually translate to functional strength you would use in combat. WTF good is throwing a ball over your head backwards?

New ACFT information. Leg tucks are out, planks are in. It now as gender and age brackets. Still completely asinine.

Nice to see they kept the really important, combat-relevant events (i.e., the backwards overhead throw and the 2-mile run).

I have plates and screws generously donated to my foot by the Army because "lol just run more that's the answer" and the only question that remains for my back is "When will the fusion happen?" because all the stupid as gently caress exercise they had me do didn't mean poo poo to bouncing around with 80 pounds riding directly on my shoulders. I was a one-hit-quit enlisted, not a life sentence, those people have got to be straight up crippled by the time they're done it's insane.

If you're like me, probably around age 51.

We're wearing masks again.

The whole army, or just your post?

I live near an Air Force base and use their Commissary and Hospital. We still have to wear masks at the hospital.

So, Air Force Base I live near just went to masks all the time.

I work for a defense contractor and we have not gone back to masks yet. I work remote so it doesn't matter.

Back to the 40s with the uniforms and back to the 80s with the slogan. Can't wait to see what's next.
