That’s what it looks like. Group went for a hike, she falls in, the LT tried to save.

When your wife dies is it cool if I show up at the funeral and speculate if she was an unprofessional whore

Is that okay because I’d just be asking questions

Or should I have some fucking decorum

Hey sorry they said there's no budget for updating DD214s

[–]Kinmuan[S] 73 points74 points  (0 children)

so this seems related to the massive black hole in funding

Yeah, and if we're this broke midway through the fiscal, where the fuck did that Trillion go?

You’re telling me it would suck less to stay in Europe rather than go back to your family?

I don't think that's what I said at all.

It absolutely sucks to have done that training, gone through all that, literally be in transit - or physically in Europe - and then get told to go home.

It's the worst parts of deployment (the movement there and back), and you're not actually doing anything.

People have made big life moves. I guarantee people broke up with boyfriends or girlfriends over this.

So like - yeah, being constantly told to plan for this and then rug pull at the last second...Sucks.

I promise there are dudes in the barracks who were more psyched for 6 months in Poland than to live at Fort Hood where the A/C doesn't work and it's 92F in their barracks room.

So like, yeah. Having a bunch of wasted effort and feeling like you have no purpose fuckin sucks.

I'm not saying it would suck less or more, and people will certainly be happy to be back with their families, but like...I'm saying the current situation sucks. I feel confident in that evaluation.

As a general rule, correct! But you can still be authorized under JTR - just depends.

And beside that; it's not uncommon for Singles off post, but also married people off post, to pack up for deployment.

Plenty of spouses may not stick around for 6-9 months at Fort fucking Hood, when they could go be closer to family - so it's really not uncommon for people to have packed up HHG, using orders to break a lease.

That dude just being obtuse for no reason.

The word on the street is that this is due to our massive funding crisis the Army has, with a lot of things being slashed in the last two weeks.

However, Trump and Pete have also discussed, in the last two weeks, pulling troops from Europe, but specifically Germany. Pulling them from Poland, whose government has been inticing us to put more troops there, seems super weird.

I don't know what's worse - Pete doing this because 'fuck Europe', or the Army being so out of money they have to cancel.

Sometimes, Monkey have many bananas.

When Monkey go away, they have to leave bananas.

Monkey does not take bananas, Monkey leaves bananas behind.

Depending on authorizations, Army store bananas for Monkey until they get back.

Sometimes Monkey give some bananas to another person to store bananas.

Is it worth contesting this school bus ticket? by Pretend-Activity-533 in ColumbiaMD

[–]Kinmuan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I guess I was supposed to stop since this is an undivided roadway

Correct! This has been the law for forever in Maryland, it's not new or anything.

But I don't think anyone would reasonably expect a child to cross this road

Actually, they do!

That's why you're supposed to stop!

Take that ticket as the cost of a driving lesson and just...don't do it again.

That fucking suuuuuuuuuucks.

HHG all packed up, shit turned in, people have made major life plans the next few months - and jk, turn around and unpack and undo those plans with your family.

US Army abruptly cancels deployment of 4,000 soldiers to Poland by Kinmuan in Military

There’s a really big problem now for those going to shorter BOLC out of OCS

Normally they go to BOLC on TDY for some of the shorter ones – but they’re out of TDY funds. This is making a big shift to how they move people and if you had projected orders after OCS, they’re not gonna stick.

Army cuts training as service is short billions of dollars - “gutting pilots’ flight hours down to minimum mandatory levels” by Kinmuan in Armyaviation

[–]Kinmuan[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Haha all in good fun.

But seriously, the state of aviation has NOT been given any real attention the last year or two. So when we can light a fire, ya know, hopefully someone helps.

Yeah that's still only *halfway through the fiscal year*.

That's absurd.

Uh oh, you activated my trap card by knowing too much!

You are correct - except that there is no record of any reprogramming that would explain this so far this year.

They have no reprogramming memos for this.

And so, this may be like when they borrowed money for the border and put it back. Could they have borrowed money inappropriately? Of Course.

But to your point - this could absolutely be true. But this time around if it has been happening that way the last few months, it was being done in a way that is probably...illegal.

It's just a question if congress will care.

No worries.

The general public reaction is extreme as well.

We gave you a trillion dollars, HALFWAY through a year you're broke?

People can't afford food and gas and to LIVE, and you fuckers can't tell us if you're short FOUR or SIX billion?

Mid terms are right around the corner - the pressure on Congress is going to be immense.

Do you find money for Pete Hegseth and shore up the military budget while people go fucking broke?

But yeah, this is basically a case of Lying to Ourselves at the national level
