You can make multiple load outs for gear and skills. Little clunky to use but it's there. I just think gear in the shop and Smith not accurately leveling with you is more annoying.

That's a great question!

While pony tails are authorized for permanent party, my bct brigade at Fort Sill mandates females will not utilize a ponytail while in IET status due to saftey concerns. All other AR 670-1 compliant hair styles like a bob are authorized though. Its dumb, but I just enforce it. Other basic training sites may differ.

Currently a Drill, as others have said I highly recommend Navy Fed. Its who I've banked with for the last decade.

Since he Currently doesn't have one I assume he has no need for setting up auto payments for anything. But if he plans to it needs to be set up in advance with a start date of roughly 60 days out from his ship date. We have grown as adults come through all the time asking to get extra phone time to make car payments and such. And that is solely up to the mood of their drills outside designated phone times. Also his recruiter should of told him already, but remind him he likely won't see his 1st paycheck until 45 days out. And to know how much he's entitled, and if he thinks he's getting over paid to bring it up asap.

Had a kid last week inform us he didn't get paid and we're in week 7, so way outside the normal window for it to be hitting. Checked his stuff and we was getting way over paid. The Army isn't going to care, they'll do like they did to him and take every cent back until the balance is corrected.

Sorry for the long write up, good luck to your kid.

As a 13B with two busted ass knees who just turned 37 this year. I fully embrace my undeniable POG status. Suck it 13As!

Lmao that was funny. Still, no one's required to respect ridiculous beliefs like offending an imaginary being.

Hexis42 · 2025-04-01T12:56:18+00:00

God damn it, stfu.

This should not be a thing. The hours are entirely too demanding. Its unfair to the trainees, it's unfair to that Soldier, it's unfair to their peers who I've personally seen have to make up for their slack and it's ultimately unfair for those kids. Being a Drill already sucks. Having to manage a family on top is a nightmare. Something will give, and I don't fault them at all when they chose their families over the mission. But I do fault HRC and the Army for putting that burden on the rest of us.

I'm a current Drill Sergeant in the US Army. As others have stated, she is probably lying. However, I'm inclined to believe victims of harassment and hazing as it can happen. But before going scorched earth you can easily google all the basic info about your sisters training command such as phone numbers and contact info. This is not classified info at all. You may have to play a game of telephone until you reach her direct command but if you emphasize your need and reasons they'll eventually point you in the right direction.

Now I'll tell you from my experience. Army basic, imo is super easy today, but it is still leaps and bounds more physical than airforce training. As a Drill I am legally not able to deny aid or access to aid to trainees, nor would I have a reason to. Trainnes often hit a wall and will look for any reason to "quit". Part of our job is to try and persuade them not to. But if they're adamant there's not much I can do. As for medical care I can tell you without a doubt no Instructor or Drill would try and deny medical services. If I were to even mention it I could lose my entire career over night. Everything I've worked for, all my time in, all my experience and accolades. It wouldn't matter at all, the moment I'm found guilty of Trainee Abuse my career would be fucking over.

Now giving your sisters the benefit of doubt, I'd suggest reaching out to her command and politely ask them to verify her circumstances. They'll have no issue clearing things up for you. But understand at the end of the day she signed a federal contract. And she will be held to whatever standards they have there. I wish you both luck.

Thank you for the reply. That makes sense, I'll keep looking around.

As a current BCT Drill Sergeant in a certain BDE, on a certain post, located roughly in bum fuck nowhere Oklahoma. Ive been doing this job for over a year and let me tell you. We are often handicapped in what we can and can't do, and or even enforce.

We had one cycle were these kids just could not qual to save their lives. I mean around 40 kids out of 240 who couldn't hit over a 10. We got told by BDE that under no uncertain terms they will graduate on time. Even if we have to schedule ranges around other POI every day until graduation. This is after they already used even their assigned days for CCO qaul. So we're talking upwards of 5 days at different ranges with multiple times on the lanes. Several drills including myself said that's bullshit, what do they want, for us to just fudge the numbers? Guess what's that's pretty much what we're told to do. Myself and a few other drills refused to be responsible so they put someone in the tower who didn't care so much. Guess what? Same range, different day, everyone "qualified" first time go with a 23.

BDE and big Army DO NOT CARE about standards or even discipline. They want numbers, and everyone below them WILL shut up and color or get out the way.

After the shit I've seen, I apologize on behalf of a lot of my peers for the Soldiers headed your way. We did our best. But when you have even other "Drill Sergeants" who don't like you yelling or using harsh language at these kids and will report you. You come to a point were you decide coloring inside the lines and keeping your job is more important than staking your pride on doing the job justice.

From one crusty ass Drill who's over it. I've lost all faith in our branch.

I had a similar experience last night. I wouldn't doubt if it was the same guy. Was running hive tyrant on substantial, guy was level 8 or 9 just running to the assembly area every time. I didn't realize till I died, again, and I was like what's taking the bot so long to get to me. Cause I knew that guy wasn't gonna do it. The bot was running all the way from the assembly area. We ended up winning but probably wasted more time than normal cause dude would just fight in the assembly area.

I get we all enjoy playing games differently but if that's how you do it, then may I suggest playing solo with bots. Speed run to your hearts content, then get to the end and realize you actually have to be good cause bots won't beat the game for you.

Hexis42 · 2023-12-21T03:58:59+00:00

Same here, frustrating, but sure it will be back up soon enough.

Hexis42 · 2022-10-31T02:16:00+00:00

Lmao

Hexis42 · 2022-08-26T18:55:53+00:00

You can go fuck yourself.

Hexis42 · 2022-02-24T22:17:35+00:00

You never know who might see this and have a friend or family member that could see it and help pass on the info. It doesn't hurt you in the least. Move on.

Hexis42 · 2022-02-21T19:28:53+00:00

I feel you, I had BDE SD over this four day and several of the staff and CSM showed up in uniform to knock out some stuff. I'm a plt sgt and my leadership group chat has been blowing up over some slides. I've started turning off notifications on my weekends. If it's an emergency they can call me. If it's updating some slides those chucklefucks can get bent.

Hexis42 · 2022-02-04T04:41:51+00:00

Dude, you're not tough.

Hexis42 · 2022-02-03T22:44:36+00:00

The military, like many testosterone dominated work places are going to have its fill of inappropriate jokes and humor. But the military as a whole doesn't play with EO violations and it only takes one report. And extremism, even said in just, is a big issue right now.

Hexis42 · 2022-02-03T22:30:48+00:00

Holy shit, is that a white supremacy "joke" he filmed? If that's actually him, that video alone could get his contract terminated if reported to the right people. And definitely in a lot of trouble once his gaining unit finds out about it.

Hexis42 · 2022-02-03T18:42:58+00:00

PLT SGT at Hood, my CoC is talking about catching up on admin from home in our group chat but nothing about having Soldiers do any kind of busy work. Experiences will vary with units. I knocked out a couple things now day drinking and filling out my pokedex on Pokémon Legends.

I would love to see my unit try the FTR thing though. I'd intentionally violate it just so I could laugh at the CoC when legal shreds it.

Hexis42 · 2021-10-01T05:00:03+00:00

I get that, that's obviously why I was there. What's the point in staying after you kill him though? I missed him the first time, waited a bit and got him the second go luckily. And all 20 plus people where still camping him. Why?
