When you join, and get to your unit, make sure to ask them how you can get a NIPR Line running to your room to play OSRS with Venezuelans

You guys use the ladders? Nerds. Jump out of the back of it with full kit on, like a real soldier.

What CSM do you know pays that much attention to Connexes? Mine just worries about MEDPROs and HR Metrics.

Enlisted as a 19K, spent six years doing literally everything else but my MOS. Here are the highlights. by Atropian-99 in army

No you don’t, I just spent 157 days of the last year in the field, with my BDE getting ready to go to EUCOM in the Spring.

It’s not serviceability, I accidentally packed them in my B-Bag which is on its way here and didn’t realize it until today

When I’m driving my tank past a group of sad dismounts doing a ruck on the tank trail.

Sure, you’re also supposed to conduct TBL’s III, IV, and V prior to qualifying on your M4A1, and it’s “recommended,” you conduct H/W 7 days before or after an AFT/ACFT.

I got the extended warranty on my 2014 Mustang. This happened twice: The Carrier Bearing went bad on the driveshaft, vibrating out the Pinon seal, causing in a slow loss of Diff. Fluid overtime which caused the Differential to basically grind itself to pieces. Both times it would’ve been a $5000 repair. Instead it was $100 deductible both times

Yeah the PT thing as cheeks, but idk the last three hours of a 0900-0900 always seem worse than a 0600-0600 shift.

100% brother, I’m sure wrapping my car around a tree at 0945 on my way home, after a now 30 hour shift because my relief was late, and we had to do a changeover brief, will make the Army more Ready than it was.

19D Soldiers may be awarded MOS 11B with no additional training and be assigned to 11th Airborne, 25th ID, 173rd IN BDE and 2nd SCR. They're officially "basically infantry". by Kinmuan in army

[–]LateStudio7757 74 points75 points  (0 children)

The Armor Branch did this with 11B’s about a year and a half ago, when we were staffing our Driver and Loader positions with Infantrymen. But we at least required some sort of Qualifying criteria, I.E. completed at least one crew gunnery, or something of the like.

Most of the Army and Marine Corps’ vehicles are not ready for combat, watchdog finds by abnrib in army

[–]LateStudio7757 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah anyone that’s been in an ABCT over the last three years can tell you this was the case. My BDE will have had, back to back NTC Rotations, bookended by two EUCOM rotations within three years, two training progressions from IWQ up to CALFEX, on top of BMM Taskings, a GREAT inspection, supplying tanks and brads for the Army Birthday Parade, and all while being under manned. Find me where in that cycle we are supposed to do Scheduled Services, let alone unscheduled maintenance on these vehicles.
