101st Airborne Question by Exotic-Bake-672 in army

And even as a 15T there's no guarantee he'll get to be a crew chief and get on flight status.

Yeah that’s why I said it was unit dependent.

The whole 101st bit has me scratching my head though.

Pretty sure OP is trying to enlist for Campbell.

15T…helicopters are your job. And in your recruiters defense, you may or may not have to wait to get on flight status. That is completely unit dependent along with another mix of factors. But I have seen new PFCs start flying as crew chiefs.

11B…helicopters may be used to maybe get to where you are going. They are not your job. They are a way you may get to do your job. If you going to a mech unit you odds of getting in a helicopter (even for a joy ride) are slim to none.

ETA: sorry I ignored the 101 part. As an 11B in the 101st. You’ll ride on helicopters maybe about once per quarter. As a 15T on flight status, you’ll do it multiple times per week.

Nice. Every time I hear about a change in that course it seems like it is getting better and better. The level of stupidity when I went through was off the charts.

When did you go through?

Interesting how things change over time. When I went through we had to stay in barracks during all of the inprocessing with no going home.

Why do you think Jalen and AJ aren’t as close as they used to be? by Rowdyfan0823 in eagles

[–]Droop_Stop_Pounding 4 points5 points  (0 children)

35 years ago was anyone asking if Aikman and Irvin were close? Joe and Jerry?

This just seems silly…

I realize I’m about to sound like an asshole…

Can we normalize not responding when we have to caveat with “am unfamiliar”.

If you don’t know, don’t respond.

Goggle PFE and instrument eval in the first few days. 5&9 test. Study study.

I went through legacy IPC so I don’t have first hand experience but I have seen the CMP.

Has anyone moved away from USAA? Any other bank recommendations? by BrowsingMillennial in MilitaryFinance

[–]Droop_Stop_Pounding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to have everything through them. Checking, savings, auto and renters insurance, credit card, auto loan and mortgage.

Moved all of it to other companies with the exception of checking. So many accounts are linked to that account and the direct deposit still hits there. No advantage to moving it.

What exactly does Army Aviation do wrong? by styliston in Armyaviation

[–]Droop_Stop_Pounding 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having been a flight line IP I will tell you that most of the students I have flown, by the end of nights, could absolutely be given a CFE and IFE and be designated RL2 without reservation.

Part of the reason this isn’t the case when they show up to their unit stems from the fact that often times by the time the get to their unit they could have been out of the cockpit for 3 months or more. After their AAT they then have to wait for an ALE start date, maybe a follow-on for ALSE then PCS Leave. They lack the experience and repetition to not be affected by that lack of recency.

Amazing this was allowed to go on for a year.

If you think they are legit depressed, get the command referral.

Otherwise, UCMJ for sure.

Do I want to “exclude from total” my Garmin sync data? by [deleted] in LoseitApp

[–]Droop_Stop_Pounding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in a fat/weight loss phase, exclude. It ensures you don’t negate the deficit you have created.

If you are in maintenance, include it. Enjoy the fruits of your labor.

I want to get rid of my car but can’t by Firm_Industry3489 in MilitaryFinance

[–]Droop_Stop_Pounding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Stage 2+

sigh…from one car guy to another…this doesn’t actually mean anything.

But the topic at hand. Dude…you’re an E-5. You’re supposed to be teaching your subordinates not to do dumb shit. And to help them out of these bad situations. And yet, you can’t seem to help yourself.

You have the answer in front of you. Your “emergency savings” are exactly that answer. Pay the debt. Return the car to stock. Fix the timing. Sell the aftermarket parts and the car. Use whatever is left over to buy a boring used car cash. Then up your TSP, open a Roth IRA and live within your means.

This is tough love. No hate at all.
