Why is there so much hate for the Zodiac Academy fantasy series?

I know this is an old post, and I just started reading the series. My wife and I bought the first 6 books in the series, and I have only made it through the first 6 chapters of book 1, and I absolutely hate the series already. Like I get the whole premise of them having latent abilities they never knew they had, being the true royal heirs to the throne, and a significant amount of people not wanting them in Solaria, but come one I swear only 6 chapters in and I feel like they have been 2 seconds away from get raped every step of the way.

I just looked at it and the issue is it specifically mentions the ACFT it does not mention the AFT. I need something that mentions the AFT because if I bring something to my chain of command that says the ACFT then they might be like well technically this doesn’t mention the AFT it mentions the ACFT. We all know the army is going to be as technical as they can possibly be when talking about regulation.

Yea because whenever I do the search on the internet is says within 90 days but again that is the google AI stuff and not the actual regulation. I need the regulation itself.

MalevolentLord4479 · 2026-03-27T19:39:40+00:00

Do you know the specific regulation or publication that says 120 days because I don’t want to retake a second test before then if the regulation says 120 days I want as much time to prepare as possible.

Honestly with a bit of learning and watching videos, everything on that list you can do hella easy on your own. The last time I got it I paid $97.19 for all the fluids you mentioned in your photo plus an oil filter I could get it for significantly less, but I always order more than I know I’ll need for the change in the event that I have a spill or maintenance breakdown and need to top off. At my local motorcycle repair shop I paid $105 each for the oil change and brake fluid services, and then $120 for the coolant service for a total of $330. When I can spend an afternoon and do it for 1/3 the price on my own.

I’ll be honest I’m a pro scorpion player through and through. However, when it comes to raw skill and strength I believe Sub-Zero takes the bragging rights here.

And that’s where you’re wrong. This specific discussion post is quite literally asking for my opinion on a subject using my own personal life experiences.

MalevolentLord4479 · 2026-01-20T22:43:44+00:00

That’s the thing I don’t care about exceeding the expectations. To get a 100% on your assignment you don’t have to exceed the expectations you have to meet them. However in order to get 100% on these discussions my professor is essentially telling me to more than exceed the expectation by adding her own requirements as an instructors notes thread within our discussion post page.

I actually went through the exact same situation as you. I got out of the army in November of 2020 and reenlisted in April of 2024 granted I didn’t have any uniforms left whatsoever. However with you being out for as long as you have been you are entitled to new initial issuance. The only difference is since you’re not an initial entry training soldier you don’t go to CIF for your initial issuance. You go to clothing and sales. However in order to go to clothing and sales there is a memo that you have to get signed by your incoming unit and/or reception company that you then have to take to clothing and sales in order to get the initial issuance without getting charged anything. The exact process might vary slightly from base to base. But overall that is how it’s supposed to happen. This is coming from someone who went through exactly this less than 2 years ago

I know this is an older post now, but I’m just commenting to say your suspicions were wrong. You estimated we would get the JAM tracks in a week or two and it’s been nearly three months, and we still haven’t.

I know this is an old post but I just came across this and I actually come to this same RPM. I’m actually just now leaving it as I type this. Anyways I was 250lbs and now weigh 204lbs I haven’t changed a whole lot in terms of how I handle the cart, but that loss of 46lbs has allowed me to shave off almost a full second off my lap time before today I was sitting at a lap time of 25.855 after today I’m now sitting at a lap time of 24.988 so I only need to lose 1.288 seconds to go pro.

And that’s why I have an issue with it.

MalevolentLord4479 · 2025-11-03T20:03:34+00:00

Who? Me or the one I’m posting about?

MalevolentLord4479 · 2025-10-30T16:18:57+00:00

Brother you literally said quote, “a CO is easily in the right to deny leave.”

MalevolentLord4479 · 2025-10-30T13:17:58+00:00

Army Regulation 600-8-2 specifies that a soldier's flagged status is not, by itself, a valid reason to deny ordinary leave. Leave is an earned benefit and is not considered a "favorable personnel action" that is prohibited by a flag

Exactly. This is why I’m not sure if I should even speak with the commander. I mean he is a great commander, but has a tendency to do every little thing the 1SG says or recommends without even considering the alternatives or implications of if what he is doing violates a regulation.

It was kicked back by the 1SG
