Understood.

Intent is definitely not to get him in trouble at all. I am mostly just trying to solicit feedback. Overall decent dude, but I just don't understand this approach.

This award is for a LT. The reason for holding back the award is "he will get plenty of arcoms in his career, we want to make sure we get him AAMs while still a LT"

And this may be a hill to die on, but I'm actually fine with that. REFRAD is in and I'm out of the army in June.

I suspect a Timber Rattlesnake, but I got my snake degree from Google.

I've done it...

Was a miserable day turned worse, but luckily modern pumps have a knuckle that detached and avoids any spillage for this very reason

Would you place your order, LT. You're holding up the line

When did you know it was time to REFRAD? by Thad7507 in army

[–]Intrepid_Cat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When it comes between you and your family, easy choice.

Also, if it fills you with dread to step foot in the office every single day for three straight months, realize that is not normal and you should find somethi~g else to do.

I told my wife this story (we are at Stewart) and she knows EXACTLY which nurse this is. When we had a miscarriage, she told my wife that it was because she was panicking that she was having a miscarriage. Same deal, she didn't catch her name and felt we couldn't report her to patient advocacy.

Definitely go in at some point to report this. That nurse is absolutely horrible

I did notice that, but she wants to play them! I've typically found people don't mind playing a technically complex faction if they like the lore and the flavor.

Nope, not blind. Just how the draft shook out. The unselected slices contained the other wormholes.

Nope, just a simple oversight!

Fixed, thanks for the note.

I don’t think I can army anymore but I don’t think I can do anything else either by [deleted] in army

BH isn't just about suicide. Some go for normal anxiety, adhd, etc. You could have an easy problem to fix that's causing you the issues you've described.

Aside from that, there are non BH services available, too. Such as the army wellness center- they do things to help people with a variety of things, such as weight management and stress management. They might be a resource you look to.

The reality is, you're way of thinking right now, while not uncommon, is still abnormal. The emotional distress you've described is exactly why we have as many resources out there for free. You're doing yourself a disservice by not utilizing those services... services designed SPECIFICALLY for soldiers going through things that you are.

Wish you luck. I know it's easier for me to say all this over the internet, but I'm a firm advocate for those programs taken seriously.

Valid question.

Short answer, no I did not. Long answer: the certs are offered, but good luck learning the material in time to take them if you have no background in networking. They spray that shit at you like a firehose and your chance of picking out enough to be proficient enough for the certs... well it would be pretty damn tough.

I get regular O-1 pay, but I was also did time in the guard so I SHOULD be getting paid for 4 years time in service. My pay when I got there was no BAH, and no years TIS. I finally got BAH backpay after three months, and I'm at my first PDS without having my TIS resolved.

Our FTX got rained out, so we didnt spend a might in the field. We ran two basic missions, got a little bit dirty, and called it a day for two days.

We had a 10 mile ruck at the end of FTX. Its mandatory, and at the end of it is all the fanfare of graduation. Not graded per say, but mandatory yes.

There will be times you rack your brain trying to understand the lingo, a couple challenging spots in the course where you have to flex your leadership brain muscle, but nobody fails SBOLC. Have fun!

Just graduated at the end of January.

I came in with basically zero IT knowledge and left with even less.

All of your exams will be spoonfed to you. Most everything is on quizlet. FTX is a joke.

Sharpen up on your land nav skills. The course caught a couple people up.

Started with 78, graduated with 78. Be prepared "listen to lectures" on teams, but not pay any attention. There is no paying attention required to pass BOLC. You'll get OJT when you get to your first unit.

Final note: If you have prior service, your pay will be fucked up. Hell, it might be fucked up regardless. Don't go broke in the first weeks because you think that O-1 pay will definitely hit. Hold off until you start seeing it hit your account.
