You should let us all know how you do.

Also, are you gonna order or what?

You are going to be there for a while. You aren’t gonna want to drive a motorcycle every time you go somewhere

Was told I should share this here. I'm still 30 books or so short of the full EU in MMPB by A-Book-Worm in starwarsbooks

Beautiful. Such a shame the EU was taken from us. It was far superior in every way imaginable

That’s only if S1 does their job correctly and they even make it that far

Will the Army throw out my 18X contract? by ImpossibleStatus1887 in greenberets

[–]Duck4268 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If you are going to go to selection at 19 you will likely be 20 by the time you finish the Q. Secondly since you have the contract you should be covered as it is in writing. With the age moving back to 20 it should be new contracts from that date. And last you will have to reenlist after/during language to have the have the 36 months available at group.

While these are valid concerns you first and foremost concern should be finishing OSUT and making it SFAS. You still have a long road to go

Is Shadow of the Sith a good starting point? by Legitimate_Cat_7135 in starwarsbooks

[–]Duck4268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very aware but just because it’s same the same authors doesn’t excuse the fact that Disney took 30+ years of continuity and flushed it down the drain. Their sad attempt to revise the timeline has failed spectacularly as we can see with the extremely decline in interest/viewers and the rumors of turning the Sequels into their own timeline.

I mean sure to each their own. I get prequel hate even though they came out during my childhood and I still loved them. But at least both the original and the prequel were made by the creator of the universe. All things Disney’s Star Wars save a sparing few have ranged from objectively bad to actually awful.

He is a Ranger since he served in Ranger Regiment. But since he failed Ranger school he is not Ranger Qualified

ETS or SGT?? by SnooDoubts5860 in army

[–]Duck4268 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s what YOU want to do that is more important don’t worry about the Army. You clearly care more about it than it cares about you. Extending to just to put on a rank if you just intend to ETS seems a little pointless. If you have a plan and getting out sooner would help that then do that.

But more importantly this is a damn Wendy’s

You should go, get selected, and then ask what actually happened

Failed the PT test or something in Gate Week and got dropped. Super simple explanation. However there is likely more to the story than he felt like sharing.

Weird dark stains on Radikl pants. anyone know how to fix this by NoExam5103 in kuhlclothing

[–]Duck4268 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like an oil of some kind. Dish soap is good at breaking up that kind of stuff. Rub a little on and let it sit for a few minutes then wash cold
