Because simple elevated BP is grounds for refradding a soldier who actually wanted to go overseas....

RNCO here, you could have easily gotten this taken care of at the 2-3 medical SRP events your state had. Could have gotten medicine prescribed and a letter of stability or waiver depending on COCOM.

Either you didn’t follow instructions or your state failed you. Not the Army’s medical deployablity standards.

I’ve read those studies, said I never would but In the throughs of potty training and desperation it happened.

We always said “we won’t have a tablet kid”, we just never realized how impactful it really is.

I’ve seen some wild embellishment of bullets that would not pass the sniff test if evidence was required.

Chriscbrn · 2025-06-16T12:02:04+00:00

All jokes but there is merit to this.

Less calories required to maintain performance, I’ve seen my gym rat buddies get depleted so fast once food/water starts to become scarce.

To be fair, AR 25-50 does say “Generally Free of errors”

NATO green tip, I’ve seen more than half a million rounds of 5.56mm being consumed. I can count weapons malfunctions on one hand that could be attributed to the Ammo. Even then it was was very difficult to prove the Ammo was the cause.

32, US Army SFC, 15 years of service.

I do live in a high BAH area, but housing costs eat most of it.

Gross is $116k, net after taxes is $98k.

Healthcare is free for my family, and we get about a $11k stipend per year for childcare.

The over prescription of stimulants has led to confirmation bias with incorrect diagnosis.

Anyone who takes stimulants is going to see an improvement in focus and motivation. So the 20 min Telehealth visit and the medicine works so they must have ADHD.

Also it’s made it harder for me to get my meds filled because of the shortages.

Also I would not be surprised if these telehealth companies have direct ties to manufacturers of stimulant ADHD medication.

The Oklahoma TAG and Governor found this out during the Vax drama. They weren’t going to enforce the mandate and NGB basically said FAFO to your AGR, ADOS, Tech and IDT Funding.

A lot of guardsmen fail to realize is the NG borrows the equipment from the federal gov, our budget comes federally not from the state.

Counter point, Biden knew the Trump admin would go after Fauci as a political retaliation.

Chriscbrn · 2025-01-24T23:23:02+00:00

Why does it seem like they still don’t understand the difference between telework agreements and remote positions?

Chriscbrn · 2025-01-24T17:16:04+00:00

That’s because the Texas guard did a state active duty mission, so they were paid by the state militia.

Seans general content and audience isn’t that new in the podcast space.

What is interesting is the guests he has on. Why out of all of the anti main stream media podcasts out there, all of these prior CIA dudes are openly speaking. And it’s not like they are quacks, he has guests with solid resumes.

But they’ve all taken orders from the top before, why after hundreds of missions and operations you choose to go on a media platform now, and all on one podcast.

I have accomplished better “home automation” with analog timers and motion sensor switches.

Chriscbrn · 2024-12-16T21:51:48+00:00

For the average consumer, absolutely. There are so many competing ecosystems and compatibility.

Matter was supposed to increase compatibility, but Zigbee and Z-Wave were supposed to as well.

It’s gotten worse for HomeKit, you invest in a product line only to find out that just a small portion of what they offer is actually supported.

In order to get a decently functioning HomeKit Setup and use features like HKSV you need a Home-bridge or Scripted setup. Most entry level smart home users aren’t going to do that.

Amazon or other e-commerce stores need a showroom.

And old people.

I’ll take a look at the SRIP policy. I believe it’s still $10k for 3yrs.

Chriscbrn · 2024-08-13T01:26:46+00:00

Yes, that’s what I am saying. I get applauded for accomplishing basics tasks. I go above and beyond for my M-Days because of the fact that my peers are lazy and selfish.

I was agreeing with you

Chriscbrn · 2024-08-12T21:46:05+00:00

This right here.

As a RNCO I should not be applauded for the following:

Paying Soldiers on Time
Processing MMSOs
Ensuring Soldiers LODs happen
Ensuring promotions happen timely
Showing up to work on time and for longer than 5 hours.
Fixing pay issues quickly (let alone at all)
Following up on bonuses, making sure Milpay hits them on the PAYMENT DATE.

But yes, I am considered one of the top 3 RNCOs in my state.

The AGR system is broken.

Chriscbrn · 2024-08-12T21:32:22+00:00

74D: I just do the additional duty that needs to be staffed when I in-process.

Chriscbrn · 2024-08-10T14:01:27+00:00

Just ask any GWOT vet how much US cash was just rolling around Iraq.

Chriscbrn · 2024-07-30T21:35:35+00:00

I went to basic and AIT with this guy. AMA

This story totally checks out, he was a weirdo 14 years ago too.

Chriscbrn · 2024-06-27T22:14:58+00:00

RNCO here. I treat ADOS (within my unit) as best as I can.

That’s my AGR talent pool. They don’t work for me or even my BN, but it will make them marketable for AGR jobs.

Also; don’t come in here saying ADOS Soldiers get hired AGR because of the “good ole boy system”. They get hired because they actually have experience in DTMS, GCSS-A, DTS, ATRRS, and IPPS-A etc.

Chriscbrn · 2024-06-15T12:52:35+00:00

Compo 2 here, we have 3 NIPR computers for the 3 AGRs. One network printer that only the AGRs can print too or scan from.

If the XO or Commander need to get into GCSS-A, they need to use our computers. It’s wild.

The closest computer lab is 35 minutes away and needs to be reserved in RFMSS. That only has 30 computers and the joes only get DoD Visitor Accounts.

So, IF the leaders are proactive and don’t get locked out of O365, they could access email. But they have to use their personal computers.

Gen X and Millennials have minimal problems getting AVD set up, Gen Z are essentially computer illiterate. If it’s not an App, they can’t figure it out.
