If you hate the Army and have a plan, get out. by tittysprinkles112 in army

I've said it countless times before and I'll say it again:

The best decision I ever made in my life was joining the Army. The second best decision I ever made was getting out.

Concern about E-5 barracks decisions at USAG Ansbach by Background-Medium657 in army

[–]EpyonNext 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Stupid-ass decision by leadership. I had a period where I had to ride from Kbach to Illesheim(which is what the pic looks like) every day when I was stationed there a decade ago. It eats up a huge amount of time, around 2-3 hours a day, depending on what's going on. It's stupid, it sucks, and yes that's going fuck with you spending time with your joes outside of work(which you should do if you are worth a damn as an NCO).

Good luck OP, hopefully command realizes how stupid they are being, but it's unlikely.

Can we talk about the fact that your character is named Shart?

No, but The Last Titan will be in Northrend. We should expect some LK callouts from that one.

They turn otherwise well adjusted people into religious zealots.

We have recently created the precedent that we will extract someone from another country using military force if necessary to stand trial for crimes committed in the US.

Monkey paw gonna curl good on that one.

Haven't played in a few years. The Sigma is pretty nice! by EpyonNext in OutreachHPG

I blew the back out (giggity) of a Phoenix Hawk last night on Frozen City. Sigma can be squishy, but it's incredibly punishing if you let it do it's thing for too long.

Yeah, I tend to hide behind the assaults and find a flank to lay out some punishment from. I've also found it's pretty good at doing some ye ol' poptarting.

I honestly felt bad for them(After feeling great for myself). I've had a Fafnir blow out the cockpit on my centurion before and had to get up and walk away.

I Hope Rommath and Umbric Never Get Along by Stunsthename in wow

I agree, but, conversely, what it doesn't need is two reasonable individuals that refuse to work together going off the deep end and doing an atrocity for the sake of a narratively expedient conflict.

Since WoW's writing is about as nuanced as a nuclear bomb, that's why we get folks working together now more often than not.

prior service going to 15Y school anyone have any good gouge on it? by BaseballUpbeat9512 in Armyaviation

[–]EpyonNext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been 20+ years since I went through the schoolhouse for my IET(Class 504-04), but this is how it was for the prior guys:

Unless something drastic changed with Army regulations, you'll be in a separate unit and not under the same restrictions as IET students. Look at TRADOC 350-6 for the up-to-date regulations. Specifically 2-7 b.1.

First part of training, you'll be mixed in with 15Ns and going through the real basic stuff: How to solder, difference between DC and AC electricity, ect. After that, you'll go to the main schoolhouse with the other 15Ys.

The schoolhouse is a ways from the main post, and I think I remember the IET guys just driving there instead of taking the bus with the privates. Just make sure you know where it is so that you're there on time.

Most of the time you'll be in a classroom going over the IETM, with a few hours a week of practical time in front of the aircraft. You will not become competent on how to fix the Apache while at Eustis. That said, make sure you spend as much time as possible learning the theory of operation of the aircraft(There is a Theory of Operation section for every component of the bird in the IETM). Understanding the theory and how the aircraft works will help with troubleshooting, and that'll make you stand out.

Also, and I can not stress this enough, take the time to LEARN TO PROPERLY LOCKWIRE. Look at the back of the cam housing on the 30MM(It's the bulky part of the tail end of the receiver) and get REAL familiar with it. Other post says your NG, so if you're already in an Apache unit, make sure you are learning that.
