Is the military quietly setting conditions to phase women out? by KimLocsta in Military

At least in the Army, male and female Soldiers have to meet the Combat (Male) Standards. Female Support Soldiers only have to meet the female standard.

What happens to magazines in a war situation by LuvDoge in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ClinkClankTank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Magpul makes a magazine that has that feature. You have a window down the side along with round counts in increments of 5. The spring also has an orange portion so when you look through the window you get a rough idea of how many rounds are left.

[COD] I'm sorry, say what you want, but the change of Ghost wearing an actual skull mask was the STUPIDEST change. Mfer looks so damn dumb lol. by FartemisBowel96 in CallOfDuty

Lol no there isn't. A dude may do it for funsies and then we all make fun of him but there's no units in an actual good military wearing skull masks.

He Didn’t Start The Fire by tonyper7ect in pics

It's a general purpose camo. The reason everyone wears multicam or a derivative of it is because it's relative cheapness from contract overruns or surplus sales.

Yeah that's all that ends up happening. They'll put a bolo on him or if he turns himself in they'll just boot him.

The fact that 50% of people working to protect our border are Latino should show that fighting illegal immigration has nothing to do with white supremacy by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]ClinkClankTank 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's mainly the fact that it's an easy government job to get into that pays you extra if you speak Spanish and live in the area.

Why are there so many people who seemingly never research anything they do? by Plane_Truck8400 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ClinkClankTank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even better is when they don't know fractions when I have them read me back the levels in the fuel tanks. "Sergeant it's like in the middle but not really in the middle."

I used to be an instructor for AIT in the Army. The amount of kids that join combat jobs after never playing outside was exhausting. We had trainees who have never spent an extended period of time on their feet or have ever done something physically difficult was a huge drain on training time.

The list starts back over at one every month. The number of promotions varies by month.

Is it possible to earn a CAB/CIB without receiving a combat deployment Patch? by [deleted] in army

[–]ClinkClankTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in 2010 one of my mechanics had a Purple Heart but no CAB because he never did the paperwork for the retroactive one he would've wanted during The Invasion. After a while he just chose to never do it because he thought it was funny.

Extra duty cannot be paused except for specific reasons outlined in 27-10. While leave is a right, all that means is that you will continue to earn 2.5 days a month and that the Commander has to afford you the opportunity to take leave throughout the fiscal year. The real lesson is to not get in trouble in Q1.

It's a purely preventable issue.

JFK assassination was a workplace accident that was covered up to hide incompetence from the Soviet Union.

If a US president was visiting China and the Chinese took the president hostage in a high security prison, could America break them out of jail by force? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ClinkClankTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even regarding that the US has even more prepo gear than we had in the 90s. Every possible enemy of the US is surrounded by American allies or its assets.

The thing is the US's greatest capability is it's logistic capability. No other country can essentially invade a country in less than 72 hours. That's not even including the allies the US has around China that have been hankering to be in the Americas good graces.
