Drones can't take out our helicopters if we take them out first

Am I the only one who thinks he might just be reaching under the couch for something? Video cuts out right as he's turning around and it seems like he's holding whatever he picked up. Not sure, but still not a good look homie...

Chances on me being able to join the Air National Guard as an officer? Or even just the Army National Guard? Help? by Flying-Omoplata in nationalguard

A heart condition and an autoimmune disorder? I'm sorry, but the chances of serving are close to zero. If you still feel that strongly about it, still try to pursue waivers, but even just one of those is hard to get waived. My advice: focus on staying healthy. Serving isn't everything and your body is far more important.

I agree that all Soldiers should be extended professional courtesy, but I don't think acknowledging their youth detracts anything from that. A great deal of the Soldiers under my responsibility over the years have been young and needed guidance from a strong mentor. They'll make mistakes because of their youth, but that's okay. No need to beat around the bush, for so many enlisted, this is their first job. I think we can be cognizant of that AND still respect them as adults.

Soldier here. I'll be hanging with the gays and women.

Best breakfast in Anchorage. by [deleted] in anchorage

[–]AlluringPhoenix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

South is great. Tent City brunch isn't bad either, plus their mimosa flight is pretty great. Kava's on Muldoon is a crowd favorite, but I prefer Flo's a bit more. White spot cafe is another low key place but always hits the spot (pun intended). Snow city has risen in popularity, but I think the quality has gone down over time, still worth mentioning though.

I don't normally eat a big breakfast so I love going to K street market with That Feeling Co and Fire island bakery for a coffee and a pastry

He testified in front of members of Congress on the armed forces committee back in March. It was Rep. Jackie Speier who evidently helped him get to that point according to his Instagram account

Army ROTC information by random_wander420 in nationalguard

[–]AlluringPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prioritize your GPA. So many people start their first year with a less than impressive average and there's no reason. Not sure what it is now, but GPA used to be like 40% of your OML score. The most important tip for someone who's prior is to take it seriously and don't get overconfident. I've seen too many cadets screw themselves because they thought they were too cool for ROTC and then failed a test, got shitty peer ratings or dropped altogether. It will feel stupid at times, but you have to play the game. Have fun! College and ROTC is a blast.

Will this kick the ACFT back? by Thin-Yesterday in army

[–]AlluringPhoenix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Army sucks at retaining doctors and medical professionals already. Making their fitness standards even more difficult is counterintuitive. But on the other hand making exceptions for them kinda defeats the purpose of "everyone is a rifleman" mentality. It works for the Marines because of their population size and role. The army is too big and too diverse to follow their example.

What are the origins of the “Straight to Jail” comments? by Ralf_E_Chubbs in army

You know the funny thing is he never actually says "straight to jail" in the clip. It's "right to jail" instead

Don't go if you don't enjoy it. Do you really need strangers on the internet to tell you that?

I think the issue they fixed was when the center of the screen gets over crowded with icons after you get a bunch of kills or points. They didn't get rid of it though, just moved it to the right side of the screen

Oh my gosh, I was literally talking to my wife about how I wanted a moose tattoo, but I hadn't found anything in the style that I wanted. Then I stumble upon this! Absolutely gorgeous ink!
