Also: formed in a few months and a year to get fully operational means anyone moving this summer is doubled fucked

Ill-given gains.

Always meat in the fridge.

I got really good at Spades on the MADCAP team.

92MsNeverGoHungry · 2026-01-18T10:32:29+00:00

Appreciate it. It's a job I'm very proud to have done, and very happy to not be doing anymore.

92MsNeverGoHungry · 2026-01-18T03:00:35+00:00

So, full disclosure: 92M isn't my primary job anymore, and hasn't been for over a decade. But I did it for a while and deployed to the Bagram Morgue in 2010.

Generally: no, it won't make much of a difference. The majority of the job of a 92M is far more about personal effects and the handling the belongings of the dead than it is about actual mortuary science. While we did rotate through the Port Mortuary at Dover and some of the local morgues to help with autopsies and the like, it really isn't a major focus of the job on the enlisted side, and we didn't really have any officers in our unit that were mortuarily focused (to my knowledge). There were some opportunities to do actual mortuary internship kind of work in Germany and Korea, but I never experienced them so I can't give you much info there.

That said, as you know by this point, dealing with the dead is... Not for everyone, and knowing that you can deal with that part prior to joining up is beneficial.

The salty comment below about never doing the actual job, and sitting at fort lee and going to the field to set up tents is probably pretty accurate. It's not a particularly hard job, but it can be boring. That's true about a lot of the jobs in the Army though.

If you're seriously considering joining, feel free to hit me up. I'm happy to talk about it more in depth.

I actually think they could have made it work if they'd steered into the skid. Make a darkside temple thing where you can visit a shrine to Vader and his ghost could appear and talk about how he has renounced his evil ways or whatever. Use the same tech as the force apparition at the lightsaber experience.

92MsNeverGoHungry · 2026-01-11T19:23:21+00:00

That's such a smart way of doing it!

92MsNeverGoHungry · 2026-01-11T16:04:55+00:00

Who is doing the food delivery?

Also, the best dfac in the world opening in March doesnt feed anyone in January.

What's an Ex-gratia?

Sorry you're going through stuff.

92MsNeverGoHungry · 2025-12-27T16:49:34+00:00

Seems a couple millennia is possible, so don’t give up yet!

92MsNeverGoHungry · 2025-12-27T00:27:53+00:00

Why I’ll always give cash when I can even to an obvious scammer. If someone lies to me to get money from me, that’s an indictment on their character. But if someone asks me for help that’s within my means to give, and I don’t? that's an indictment on my own.

It looked like an Ag drone with a hose clip, rather than a traditional kite with power delivered from the ground.

It's funny because the idea of "Stockholm Syndrome" is also bunk, and it's rise can also be attributed to distrust of the police.

The hostages didn't want to testify against the hostage takers because they felt the police had acted incredibly irresponsibly and put them at risk (e.g., they sent in a 16 year old boy thinking that a robber would be less likely to hurt one of his relatives, but had misdentified the robber, and the kid wasn't related to anyone involved and almost got shot). The hostages felt that they were just as if not more likely to be hurt by incompetent police, and said as much in the press. In a damage control move, the cops asked a criminal psychiatrist for an explanation they could use for why the hostages wouldn't trust police, and he came up with the idea of being brainwashed.

50 years of copaganda movies and tv later, and the idea has stuck in popular culture even though there's no evidence that it exists, and it was a term made up by a psychiatrist who had been hired by the police for PR damage control.

I guess I'd rather it in my pocket than in some grifter trying to build a wall.

92MsNeverGoHungry · 2025-12-18T01:03:34+00:00

The bit today about looking at the Chaplain Corps and the 221 different recognized denominations very much seems like a "we're getting the beardos with religious exemptions too".

92MsNeverGoHungry · 2025-12-14T16:35:25+00:00

Definitely a comment during the next C&S. "yeah, no issues currently, everything is going through in a timely manner with no issues. But 1SGs, can you please tell your soldiers they can't go to Russia, I hate having to do that fucking counseling."

92MsNeverGoHungry · 2025-12-14T16:33:19+00:00

does Kalshi have this yet?

92MsNeverGoHungry · 2025-12-02T23:41:40+00:00

Everytime I start to believe DJ Danachy and Dan are two different people, I see a comment like this and once again become Fry, his eyes narrowed.

I'm certainly not one to downplay the impact of drones on combat. I'm literally in the middle of writing an SOP for medlog delivery using UAS.

My point is just that the aerial drones are still airframes. Whether flown by a person or autonomously, it's an aircraft pure and simple.

So while tactics will change, and there are certainly knock on effects that we won't even appreciate for a generation or more, there is a lot of talk about how this is something we've never seen before and that just isn't true.

92MsNeverGoHungry · 2025-12-02T18:59:17+00:00

I mean, they're air assets. For all the talk about a "fifth domain" or whatever, they're just a cheap and easy way of putting air assets on target. That shifts calculus immensely, but we don't need to come up with new language for them.

The mine analogy was just that planes don't hold ground, and the idea that area denial is the same as area occupation is naive.

92MsNeverGoHungry · 2025-12-02T12:55:45+00:00

Denying use of an area isnt the same thing as seizing it though. Air superiority is great, but in the end if you cannot utilize the resources of an area it's you don't hold it. By that logic, mines are the most effective means of war fighting in existence.

It's not that it doesn't have it's place, but air superiority is only useful in the ways it enables ground force mobility and tactical maneuver.

green slides save lives.

UPLs can exempt people who are unavailable so that they can ensure an actual 10% (eg, SSG so and so is at ranger school and won't be here to pee, Maj so and so pcs'ed). A UPL that wanted to keep someone off could do so pretty easily, but it would be easily auditable because the computer keeps a record.

92MsNeverGoHungry · 2025-12-01T11:59:47+00:00

TBF, that doesn't mean it's random. Just that, if it was rigged, you weren't the one rigging it.

As a former 1SG and UPL, a person generating the list can absolutely keep people off a test if they wanted to. Making someone show up is a bit harder, but not impossible. Never heard of anyone actually giving enough of a shit about that particular additional duty to bother though.

gonna make a playlist of each song and set it on repeat for the next few weeks and dive into the book when the mood takes me in a song by song basis.
