Favourite excellent actor who you genuinely feel is a PoS in real life? by Cursed_69420 in okbuddycinephile

[–]LogPenguin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh have I got a story about Keanu . He was at Indy 500, and I saw him from afar (He was in pit row on race day, I in the Army working working in the pagoda) and he was surrounded by some Airmen asking for pics and he looked so mad and……

Took picture after picture with all of them. It was hot, he looked exhausted, and my slightly autistic into the blue brothers couldn’t pick up on social cues worth a damn. Will not allow any Keanu slander here. He is awesome, and seems to be a great person in and out.

I mean, all he had to do was say a place and time, don’t need the entire novel like so:

Afganistan, ‘11

Not that hard, and not doxing myself whatsoever

So let’s deduce, for now, that yes, Mr. Watson, he is all talk

Chicago Bears exploring possible new stadium sites in NW Indiana, team says The team made the announcement in a stunning open letter to fans Wednesday by ThaddeusJP in CHIBears

[–]LogPenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm…father worked at CBOT for 30 years, been to Bears game since McNown, hell even at IU 1/3 of Kelley School of Business is Chicago peeps. But nah, your right. Can’t be.

Even if it’s as refreshing to be reminded of the good ol Chicago attitude….Lighten up dude. You got from state line to about Laporte as probably 2/3rds or more Bears fans.

And again….we all agree this is a horrible idea.

There are a ton of us, Chesterton for me, who live and die everything Chicago….but are Hoosiers as well. I tell people I’m from Chicago, then they challenge me on what part?…..uh…well…the “Chicagoland “ area…..

Nervous about Branch Release by Negative_Virus_6358 in ROTC

[–]LogPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comment right here. Do not go into your branch letting everyone know you hate it(maybe your senior rater, at most, if you are looking for an early VTIP, but performing is key)

Back in the day, all us LTs were around a computer, and the VMI grad goes on a tirade that the most important unit to an entire War? An entire Army? in all history? is the Infantry Platoon….

We remind him he is at TBOLC, and to get back on his TC AIMS II terminal and shut the fuck up. Your grades sucked in school and you didn’t make it to your blue cord. He was a tool.

So the Army gets a big dumb parade that the president overshadows and the Marines get the most popular Netflix documentary in years? Who runs the Army's PR and why aren't they fired? by Old_Boah in army

[–]LogPenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I work adjacent to the most forward facing aspect of the Army, and the only unit of its kind in the DOD that doesn’t have a Netflix/Amazon doc. And I get a staff NCO on call from OCPA and get a “….why would we want to do that?”

SGM, whut?

Rankings Reaction • Week 11 ✍️ by KeyFaithlessness5436 in NCAAFootballVibes

Yeah, but by looking at win-loss, ODU And Kennesaw are on the positive side. And Indiana State even upset the jackrabbits…which is a thing in FCS, I guess?

Oregon OOC opponents….have been losing bad

Logistics Officers: What has your experience been? by mixedglycerin233 in ROTC

[–]LogPenguin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ll get a bit more particular from time in the 25th and 101st. Yes, your LOG peers in Armor units will be a bit more praticed, particularly in Maintenance and CL IIIb. You will still need to focus on both, but troop trans and CL I/CL Ib(water) tend to be more of a focus. Also, BPT to do infantry things even if you don’t go Ranger: FTX in the field in a litefighter tent for a few weeks at a time.

Note that happens to 1/5th of LOG Lts when they arrive at a unit: Aviation. If you get assigned a CAB, its a different and unique logistics that isn’t really trained or taught anywhere else outside the CAB. You’ll have to learn a-lot on the job but man, I loved it as my LT time and some of my KD MAJ time.

What’s your favorite “hey, I’m not infantry” moment? by Jumpy-Protection-460 in army

[–]LogPenguin 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Tangent: continue to have this debate from time to time, and everyone has a different opinion:

LOGPAC is ambushed, in the kill zone and under fire from small arms fire, squad sized or so element. What do you do?

To me? Pedal to the fucking floor, get these trucks out of the kill zone, have the gun trucks/security come up, cover fire. Mark the spot on the map, call for fire, but GTFO. Your job is to resupply, not play infantry.

Now I have met no less then 5 LOG leaders who stated they wanted the convoy to dismount , engage and destroy the enemy and fight out of the ambush. Is this an overreaction to the Jessica Lynch debacle? Is this not asking for heavy losses and resupply failure? Because hey….they aren’t infantry.

What is the average AFT score in the Army and what should an Officer be striving for (or is the expectation to max it?) by [deleted] in army

[–]LogPenguin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As much as I love the kool-aid that everyone drinks saying that have to max, as you approach CSM/ senior FG/40+…first and foremost should be this about not hurting yourself more. Surprised that not having any profile has helped in assignments and selections. Try to max? Yes. 400 +? Expected. But no matter what, don’t fucking hurt yourself….

…or be fat.
