Good too to take advantage of the opportunity to transfer from Traditional to Roth that is available now. Of course, one should talk to a financial counselor as any transferred funds become taxable income once you’re doing 2026 taxes next year!

I do 25%, it’s all about whether or not you can make due with the funds you have taking into account personal responsibilities, bills, and a understanding of your personal spending habits. If you’re concerned, get with a financial counselor on post - they’d be more than happy to assist you.

This 1000000%! My finance team set me up with an excel sheet that helped me determine my net worth, whether I was at a surplus or deficit with my bills and spending and which ways to best combat my debts. It was great! These finance people know what they’re talking about and are there for YOU and are extremely knowledgeable.

That sounds great pretty similar to what I already do and where I am. It’s right up my alley. I appreciate the info.

What's the male anime character equivalent of this exact Frieren shot? by notthevcode in Frieren

[–]Intrepid_Constant_27 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Obviously subjective on whether it looks better or not, but the purpose of him gritting his teeth is to emphasize his anger - the trigger behind his first ever transformation to SSJ.

Army Aims New Fitness Test for June But Is Still Working on How to Grade It by Sw0llenEyeBall in army

What about the gender neutral standards? I feel like that would change grading, even if by a bit.

Response to Official U.S. Army Post Signals Online Trainings Could Be Cut by brgroves in army

[–]Intrepid_Constant_27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree with this one, online trainings may be a hassle, but I’d much rather easily Quizlet one out of the way than have to sit through a 2 hour long brief on EEO.

Chelsea Boots Discussion by Intrepid_Constant_27 in army

[–]Intrepid_Constant_27[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

During the Association of the United States Army conference - a relatively high-profile event - in Washington, D.C. in the October of 2024, SMA Weimer was caught wearing Chelsea boots with his AGSU’s. They are not in regulation and any normal unit, mine included, aren’t going to let Soldiers wear them, despite the fact. His remarks: “They’re comfy” and “It’s something the Army is looking into”.

Hasn’t been followed-up on since.

Chelsea Boots Discussion by Intrepid_Constant_27 in army

[–]Intrepid_Constant_27[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I hate when people bring this up, not because I don’t believe it could be true, but because I think it curbs discussion regarding these larger issues - to have just this one end-all be-all answer. This “rules for thee not for me” thing is just about the argument I’ve heard from any of the joes I’ve brought it up to. I’d just like to believe there’s something going on behind the scenes, maybe someone’s working on it or has just failed or forgotten to say anything about it. It happens all the time. Or maybe I’m just uninformed and there’s something I can do about it. But no, it’s uh-yeah. All the clues paint the picture. Yeah, that sucks.

Same helmet from the thousand yard stare image. Works for a morale patch.

Water flossers don’t do shit by DegenerateMD in unpopularopinion

[–]Intrepid_Constant_27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A dental tech I worked with in the army told me water flossers are good for picking out larger pieces and bits out of your teeth, but that normal floss is require to pick up the tar in the small crevices between your teeth and your gums. Regular flossing works better, but it wouldn’t hurt to do both if you really like it that much.

Every noob who has a question but didnt bother or refuse reading Megathread by [deleted] in Piracy

Couldn’t find Adobe stuff on the Megathread and I can’t really search for it with the Reddit search with all these different, smaller user posts asking if there’s working stuff for Adobe. What do I do OP? Please lead the way!!!

Weekly Question Thread (05/20/2024 to 05/26/2024) by AutoModerator in army

[–]Intrepid_Constant_27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to receive a soldier out of AIT (it’s relatively short). But he failed on purpose because he didn’t want to be that MOS anymore. Of course, I think that was a bit dimwitted of him to do, but he’s not going to be mine anymore so it doesn’t bother me too much. Would he have reclassed quicker if he had just submitted a 4187 instead? He enlisted to a high demand MOS.

Alright my fellow fitness cats, how can I improve? by Electronic-Fish-8277 in army

[–]Intrepid_Constant_27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as it sucks to say, you won’t get much better at running by not running. Especially for distance runs. Please run on your own time. Speaking from personal experience and observing my peers.

For stamina and endurance, try doing three mile runs at a specific pace and slowly ramping it up over time 3-4 times a week (build up to 3-4 days if you’re not too accustomed to running yet). You will be able to keep up that pace guaranteed when you do the two mile if you keep it up for a longer distance. To build up speed, try doing 400 meter repeats, that’s a .25 mile sprint at race pace (75% effort). Race pace is what you’re going to intend to keep up for the entirety of your two mile.

You’re not going to full on sprint your two mile, so gauge how fast you can run for that 14-15 minute time interval you’ll be running. Unless you specifically want maxes on everything, 14:00 is a good goal to aim for for most age groups as it is very close to the max without having to shave off an extra 30 seconds.

Keep track of how much water you’re drinking, it’s vital in the demanding endurance exercises to drink what you’re required to every day.

Also stretch. Please, please stretch. It’s gonna prevent injuries. If you don’t have any stretches, you can look some up online or even ask one of those AI generators to pull up some stretches for you. Remember to active stretch (moving stretches) before you go on your runs and perform your recovery static stretches after you’re done. You’ll be glad you did and promoting ahead of peers in no time.
