Before Ft Knox was rebuilt it was pretty much the same way, however it was all the military wives doing the offering in hopes of a good lay while everyone was deployed
Let us know how Air Assault goes. I heard it's more like Airborne now that they made it two weeks instead of a single week from hell.
...
Getting rides from stripper bus drivers offering to show me hottest places in town, most likely. Ft. Knox was baller redneckville -- now it's just redneckville isn't it? Especially with "courtesy patrols" frequenting where Joe goes.
Pretty much all branches are doing force reduction boards to reduce the size of the force. The selection rate to E7 this year in the Army was 24.2%, which is crazy. Then the rest of them go to a quality management board and a lot of Soldiers are going to get an opportunity to pursue their interests elsewhere. Shit, they held a board just to kick out Majors. Fuck it though. I've got sanctuary and they couldn't kick me out if they wanted to.
Having Soldiers, Airmen, Marines, and Sailors that can pass a PFT is fairly important to me. I'd assume the rest of the nation would agree. Having a force that can maintain it's medical readiness at least deployable status wouldn't hurt either. I'm sure you're tired of all the broke dicks in the rear that never deploy, right? What about all those assholes that make the entire force look bad, you want them gone too, right - you know, the ones that get in theater and abuse HN civilians or come home after running on a water treatment team for 4 months and beat their wives bloody because "PTSD". Are they losing good personnel, definitely. Are they getting rid of the trash, certainly. It's life in a Democratic party garrison force and history repeating itself for the umpteenth time.
If you get dropped at any point in the course, you just restart at the last point you were on, whether it be the written exams, or even just the final 12mile ruck - its a joke really, all you have to really be able to do is pass a PT test the first day or two (and no, they don't actually 'smoke' you at all, sure you may do a few extra things before - but that word is way overused and not accurate in this case), not suck at the written test stuff for sling loading, and not fall off a tower like a tard and you're pretty much good.
Toughest course? Nonsense. Air Assault was easy as fuck minus Zero Day (which wasn't that bad either). Outside of Ranger and SF Q course, nothing is really too hard physically. Most of the "harder schools" are all about memorization. Jump Master wasn't hard, it just required good muscle memory. Pathfinder is the hardest school I have been to because of the sheer volume of information I had to memorize.
Yeah so many that aren't going to make it. I should have stayed in. I couldn't stand my peers being absolute shitbags and me being the one that had to make the junior Marines lives a living hell all the while cleaning up the messes that my peers and seniors made .... I couldn't do it for 7 more years. Just couldn't do it.
Listen motard, im focussing on the shit like the new appearance regs, I never said dick about PFT's or being a good soldier in general. How the fuck does the placement or location or number of tattoos affect a soldiers combat performance? It fucking DOESNT. Yet these fucks at the top try to run the Army likes its a damn corporation.
The new appearance regs are basically the pre 2006 regs brought back into play . Same shit as the peace dividend years , when they made peoples lives pure hell for fuck ups made years before . In the holy fuck better smarten up, this clean up detail every weekend for 6 months sucks ass , or other fun things like sign in at the CQ desk every two hours for 16 hours a day on days off period of enlistment .
First off, you didn't say dick all about anything but the sand still stuck in your pussy. Secondly the regs are almost identical to the ones from the 1980s. Everyone was complaining about wanting old school military back, well here it is on it's way back.
Straight out of your creed - disciplined, maintaining yourself, being professional. It's about uniformity and not being an individual anymore. No one is stopping you from getting tattoos. They're only stopping your from getting shit that disrupts military bearing and your professional appearance. It doesn't matter about your combat performance - it's about looking the part and recreating the atmosphere that instills and reinforces discipline. Or do you feel like you should keep that scraggly ass pubic hair on your face too because it doesn't effect combat performance either.The Soldier's Creed_sl said:
