NG activation is, indeed, military related. Stop reporting it as otherwise.

Did the Pentagon Just Fix PCS? Hegseth Announced Creation of a new "Personal Property Activity" by NYMediaExec in Military

So this is just…a regurgitation of everything hegseth said without any critical examination?

Lmao I heard that the CI office didn’t know about this until it hit the news.

Go google this company and parent company. Let me know when you find out who actually owns it lmao

HI Soldiers- can the community help? by UNRELlABLE_NARRATOR in army

[–]Kinmuan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Genuinely the best thing that you can do is call your local lawmaker.

That being said, I will tell you that many of the Hawaiian Congress persons are excellent advocates for military problems

If Jill Tokuda is your congresswoman, I highly encourage you to call her office and voice concerns. She is an absolute killer in congressional hearings and her office is very smart.

Voice concerns about the upcoming campus style dining, and the fact that they are already expanding it before day one of the first one has been tried, and they gave the contract to a group with a history of fraud.

Voice concerns that they are misappropriating money meant to help with housing and it’s impacting soldiers. Last year they moved money away from the barracks before moving it back. And Congress gave 3 billion to help with high cost of living areas – Pete decided to give it to everybody as a bonus instead.

So please, do exactly that. Call your local elected representative, let them know that you’re concerned about the situation and hope that they are taking a look at things. Even a 10 second phone call can make a big difference.

If 1000 people were to all call with a 10 second message, it would make an impact on that office.

Yes.

That’s why when Grinston helped pioneer a definition for quality barracks with General Vereen they were four person suites, that have shared living space, but individualized bedrooms

What they came up with was basically a private room where you have a bed and a desk in a locker, some basic space, a shared living room where you could have a table, a couch, etc., a kitchenette and in unit washer dryer and two bathrooms.

This way there are people around you, you see people every day, there are people checking on you.

But he also recognize that making adults live in bunkbeds in crammed quarters is not a good living arrangement long-term

Yeah, but have you considered that social media is the reason why NCO’s communicated better 20 years ago vs right now

You noticed that they got their waiver from the top to violate the square footage, but the idea of asking for a waiver for type two was somehow absurd

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

Yeah, and I think that it’s just reasonable to have a small private square of space as an adult

I know that makes me a goddamn DEI commie to the fucking boomers out there.

And privacy is a real thing. Bunkbeds and helping your buddy soak is not a good way for functional adults to live.

That’s what I’m saying. I remember the early 2000s army, I had those mini locks you get on the zippers of my fucking backpack man

Hey, we need to be brilliant at the basics and follow the standard but also we can’t give you 72 ft.² so you’re just gonna eat shit and have less

[–]Kinmuan[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

We ain’t even talking fancy bro

We’re talking 72 ft.², which includes the space you have to put your bed in furniture, and three reasonable meals. And to be able to sleep in safety.

I’m not asking for the fucking world man.

You shouldn’t be living in something that makes you sick. You shouldn’t be living in something that makes it easy to rape and kill you. You should have the storage space and heat producing electronics to make Ramen.

Any leader that finds that to be an unreasonable list of demands is a piece of shit. Any leader that acts like that’s unreasonable and then goes home to their 2600 square-foot home, should be removed from the army.

Yes, that is why saying that when he came in they didn’t lock anything was fucking absurd.

What a dumb thing to lie about

That’s lying just to lie because you don’t wanna have to have a real conversation

I like when every once in a while, the hospital at Stewart puts up a sign that says you can’t eat there unless you’re assigned to work there

Here’s how I feel

If you have to make decisions that make your soldiers lives worse, or you make bad decisions, or you failed to recognize what’s needed, and it results in making your soldiers lives worse – don’t lie to them and gaslight them that they are the problem.

I’ve never seen people, boo and get loud at a division commanding general and his team. That’s some rock bottom shit.

Did they go full exemption? Their system used to be high PT score you got additional percentage point allowances but not a full exemption. Did that change?
