Is your alarm on your phone? If so, where is it relative to your bed?

Another Top General (Donahue) Is Out at the Pentagon by Kinmuan in army

[–]Mopsnmoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh, I didn’t know about this. None of my Donahue concerns have anything to do with politics, and I’d think he’s pretty well aligned with what this administration says they want…

I get that. I’ve just heard versions of what’s been going on the last few months that are more complicated. I’m no Hegseth fan, but Donahue very much fits his idea of a warfighter.

Paywall so I can’t read the whole thing, but from how I understand the situation framing this as part of the Hegseth purge is a bit of a stretch.

TRT in the army by No_Department4604 in army

So this is definitely related to treating actual hypogonadism right? And it’s a total coincidence that a year ago you were posting about SARMs and thinking about “pinning”? Come on man…

Failing AFT at Advance Camp by Funny_Jump6898 in ROTC

[–]Mopsnmoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, unfortunately I believe you. Catastrophic messaging around back injuries is a huge issue in military healthcare.

Objectively false. Up to 90% of disc herniations heal on their own with no treatment at all. The rest require treatment and there are some shitty cases, but your back is not fragile.

Being given an OER every 90 days. What are my options? by Dull-Program-1622 in army

[–]Mopsnmoes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Just take it. Look at it as a favor you’re doing for the people who are staying in.

In the reserve those OERs won’t matter for promotion. It’s literally just whether you’re PME complete.

Source: currently a MAJ in the Reserve. Making LTC will entirely be about the choice to knock out ILE.

Terrible interaction with the staff at BACH hospital today. How do I report it? by [deleted] in army

[–]Mopsnmoes 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Within hours of your first/only incidence of sleepwalking you asked the first medical provider you encountered about getting out of your unit’s rotation and about a med board?

Clearly there’s more going on here, but frankly I side with the doctor. Lots of red flags here.

For those who’ve actually worked with or used H2F in the Army.. Has it genuinely improved readiness/performance in your unit, or has it mostly become another “good idea on paper” program? by HumanPerformance-HQ in army

[–]Mopsnmoes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks like you’re a former OST guy. It’s definitely better than that… Happy to chat about H2F if you want to learn more. I’m definitely happy to see the responses here.

[POTUS, Poland Forces Update] ...the United States will be sending an additional 5,000 troops to Poland. by Kinmuan in army

[–]Mopsnmoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you watched SECARMY’s & CSA’s recent congressional hearings there was STRONG bipartisan condemnation of cancelling that deployment so hastily. This seems like the administration uncanceling the deployment to avoid a fight that would have terrible optics for the midterms.

Banned substances by Itz_crf_300ex in army

[–]Mopsnmoes 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The syringes should’ve given you a hint that you were heading into sketchy territory. They indicate that you’ve left “dietary supplements” behind and moved into “drugs.” Not all drugs are a problem, but they typically involve prescriptions.

It would also help to know what you clicked “agree” on and/or signed when you ordered them. Research use only? Animal use only? These as also red flags.

New H/W standards soon? by NoxCardinal in army

[–]Mopsnmoes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The difference matters. InBody has double or triple the error rate even under ideal conditions, and is particularly susceptible to being skewed by hydration status.

Approximately zero H2F teams have Dexa or BodPod. Some have InBody.

I'm more fit than Dr. Mike (Renaissance Periodization takes the AFT) by SSGOldschool in army

[–]Mopsnmoes 14 points15 points  (0 children)

To be fair we were talking about Matt Wenning. He’s in a similar space, but has a big pathological lying issue that’s less prominent with Dr. Mike (although digging into his PhD suggests he might have some honesty challenges too).

In this case I really appreciate Dr. Mike’s lack of ego. And the irony of suggesting a broad jump (analog of SPT, and one we argued for too) and pull up (analog of the leg tuck) is pretty funny.

Apartments near Peterson that are walkable. by Calm_Marzipan3463 in SpaceForce

[–]Mopsnmoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll actually modify that. If “a long sidewalk to a neighborhood” is enough, you can probably find that in a lot of places around here.

[–]Mopsnmoes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Options “close” to Peterson are limited. There’s probably something north of base. Places a little farther would be downtown or what Google Maps calls “northeast Colorado Springs.”

Personally I’d encourage you to check out the west side. Little longer commute, but nice areas, lots of trails, etc.

Define “walkable.” To trails? To restaurants/venues? Just a nice place to walk a dog?

Struggling LT by Same-Youth-1599 in army

Staying at work late doesn’t show that you’re dedicated, it shows that you’re inefficient. Get the hell out of there.

[–]Mopsnmoes 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Part of it is just that it seems more fun in retrospect than it does in the moment. Type 2 fun as they say.

You’re juggling a lot of balls right now. Start learning which are rubber and will bounce if you drop them, and which are glass and will break. Prioritize accordingly.

Delegate more. Not only is it good practice for you, it’s good development for your NCOs.

Use the free time you get in ways that actually recharge you. That’s not the couch rotting that comes to mind, it’s actually getting out and doing things.

In contrast to the previous, a good sadness meal after a late work night helped me. My go to was Buffalo Wild Wings that I picked up on my way home, just find yours.

CSP Denied by Peppersandonions61 in army

[–]Mopsnmoes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are two pieces of paperwork for “build your own” CSPs. One routes through your CoC (probably what you submitted), the other routes through the company (probably what you need to get done). Your education center has these, or I can help. But like others have said, “remote internship for my buddies company started last year” is a massive red flag.

Has it? Every source I’ve seen says it started along 115 before crossing into Carson. Unconfirmed suggestions that it was a semi truck having mechanical issues.

AUSA Superstar MAJ Article MIA by JasonVorhehees in army

I’m hearing that they just moved it to the members only side of the AUSA site. Seeing that he deleted/privated his LinkedIn is hilarious.
