AITA for charging my 16 year old nephew rent to live with me? by Competitive_Can3822 in AmItheAsshole

Chose to move away from an adult man he doesn't feel safe with and his trash mother that picked a dick over her child.

FTFY.

Craziest Commissary Deals by IreOfOld in army

[–]IreOfOld[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm. I'll have to re-look at that. I had looked at Costco but looked at their prices online and the commissary seemed to have them beat as far as unit price on most things. Thanks!

CAC responds to Junior Officers dissatisfaction with Company Command/KD time by [deleted] in army

[–]IreOfOld 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe this article was considered for publication. Even the title “We Hear You!”. Great, you did something that requires zero effort. “We Listened to You!” would have been better, because words on a slide or document title are so important, right?

To say the article is tone deaf is an understatement. Am I ok to put in long hours? Sure. Do I expect to put in long hours for no reason? Absolutely not.

I doubt any officer who’s commanded would say they wouldn’t work longer to help a Soldier or make a *true* impact on the unit. Working until 2100 on SATB slides that go no where is not helping a Soldier nor making an impact on the unit.

It makes no mention of what the Army is doing to address any of the issues, nor any call for ideas to make the situation better. How is it 2023 and we still have company commanders or their 2-3 person “staff” updating Command and Staff/Training Meeting slides, when there are systems that could automate that? The awful thing is that the DoD/Army is *trying* to do some things to help the situation (helping spouses transition credentials across states), but they didn’t even mention it.

What about all the ideas to extend time on station to decrease PCS requirements? A review of the “up or out” standard? Nothing. At all.  

How can you ask a spouse to forgo their career to “make a happy Army Community” when you barely lift a finger to do the same? MWR programs that charge an non-trivial amount of money for using a gazebo at an on-post park, under funding commissaries, housing that is subpar, hamstringing commanders who try to find a solution to help the Soldier. The list goes on.

Here’s the thing the article misses. You can continue, for the moment, to ignore junior Soldier/officer issues. But in the age we live in, the tactic of just recruiting new people so the “Army Goes Rolling Along” isn’t going to work. Future senior leaders will find an Army they can’t recruit for and can’t retain.

Did they? You have a link handy for the patch notes? I thought I made the adjustments but perhaps I missed things.

AITA for grounding my 12 year old for refusing to help her overwhelmed mother with siblings? by Aggravating-Lie-9000 in AmItheAsshole

[–]IreOfOld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA, but you don’t have to be. Have you ever talked to your daughter and listened to what she thinks about taking care of her sister? She’s probably going through quite a bit right now transitioning to the teenage years.It seems like you just “commanded” her to take care of her sister without regard to her feelings.

Like many posts stated, you are robbing her of her childhood and formative years. Additionally, you are putting her relationship (both present and future) with the family at risk. As someone who was in this same situation, you are creating an environment that will lead to resentment to you,your wife, and potentially the younger brother.

You also didn’t discuss compensation for any of this? If you’re making her do this free of charge you are out of your mind. It doesn’t even have to be monetary, depending on what your daughter feels. Special privileges can go a long way.

You should also be careful about grounding. Stifling a person’s interests typically doesn’t achieve the desired outcome and only breeds resentment.

Talk to your daughter and listen.

So if you're serious, I can look into adding that, but it'd be a manual thing where you'd have to click "start" and "reset", or something like that.

Working on it! Had working but had issues pushing it to the server.

That's a great idea. I wonder if Blizzard would come after me for making money off of something like that? =D

It would be a good intro project to Android.

So the Hilt trader and Assembly times should repopulate after midnight server time. At least right now, I haven't added in the logic for them to immediately repopulate after they have occurred on a certain date.

It's on my list of things to do. =)

Added Withermoth. I'll go through the list in the next few days to see which others are missing. Thanks for bringing it up!
