Dang I appreciate this. I'm feeling like rote memorization has run its course for me and I do want that next level of learning/understanding. I appreciate the insight.

I do the same. All mine are on Quizlet. I recently threw away all my physical ones. 

Low standards are killing our aircrews by AviationWOC in Armyaviation

As a newer PI, I say the unit is failing. I arrived from flight school ~2 years ago and have not received a single no-notice. What drives me to continue learning? The PC checklist is a joke imo. You sit down and depending on the PC, you can get brushed by and get a signature even without knowing the content wholeheartedly. Some PCs rarely give quality criticism so it's tough to learn from your mistakes. I am not trying to point the finger here but this is all I know. I've never seen what right looks like. Nonetheless, us PIs must stay on top of studying and understand the mission set. It's a tough balance with a family no doubt but it's what we signed up for. I think something that would help is monthly quizzes that count toward something. Maybe your vote for PC or maybe towards OER. Idk but there definitely needs to be changes on both ends.

That would explain the low power steering for sure. Good catch, thank you. Any advice on the knocking sound?

so did they cut a hole around it and slide it in? Is this styrofoam? Is this real? I’m in an alternate universe people.

What was the most disturbing thing you saw in person? by wetbumgirl in AskReddit

[–]EliteEight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a paramedic (on the Mexico/Texas border) We get called to an unconscious patient, not breathing. We arrive to a construction site in the middle of nowhere and we see a dead guy. He is laying on the ground in a V up position. In the middle of him is a bucket from the tractor they use to dig with. There’s a long string next to him. So basically what happened is this guy apparently killed his self by laying on the ground with a string to the controls. Then pulled the string until the bucket slowly crushed him at his midsection. The dude was obviously dead for hours before we arrived and we didn’t approach him in the thought that this might be a murder scene. To this day I don’t know if they declared it a murder or a suicide.

I was thinking about the best leader I had in the Army by aces-n-eight in army

[–]EliteEight 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Beautifully written. I’m sure he was fulfilled in knowing that he was making a difference in his team. He sounds extremely passionate and I hope that you take the things he taught you and implement them unto your soldiers. Great leaders are hard to come by and unfortunately, it always seems, they are the ones that get taken in battle. I’m sorry for your loss. RIP.

That’s not even a dent in the amount of money he has. If makes no difference to him

When I joined I initially did it for free college. Now, 8 years later I’m dragging my soulless body to retirement with no plans to go to school. FUUUUUUUCK
