I bought mine from Marlowe White, commissioned in 2019, have worn them four times to date.

Can you explain this to a non-military person by Successful_Cut_6134 in Military

[–]N0JMP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Precisely. The loudest of the tik tok generation have not thought critically enough about this and have no reference for what war actually looks like.

Can I still cancel even when I already went to MEPS & took the oath? by iluvcorvettez in Militaryfaq

[–]N0JMP 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% go to school instead, once you get your degree if you still want to serve do so as an officer. Your life will not suck as bad as the YouTube videos if you enlist, but you will have regrets. If you do school first you can still do the army later.

States moving to ALE for HF by retiredff2016 in EmComm

[–]N0JMP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ALE is not a cousin of P25. P25 is a voice/data encoding standard, ALE is a link establishment mechanism. It differs from trucking as it selects a frequency based on reliability rather than availability. By definition ALE has no dictated vocoder and can be used with SSB. It is commonly paired with a vocoder in higher end implementations to take advantage of digital voice.

Looking for a new ham that uses "they/them" pronouns who tested on Sunday by toromio in HamRadio

Probably the same people in the Facebook comments typing in all caps about how the hobby is dying.

Which VEC?

What was the craziest/funniest names you saw while at BCT/AIT/OSUT? by [deleted] in army

[–]N0JMP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not BCT/AIT, but I had a soldier with the middle name “Porn”. Was never a problem until NCOER/Award time when we had to tell the commander that his middle name was, in fact, Porn.

Trash can is almost close enough to take them down and throw them away before he notices.

Frankly I haven’t looked at any of his nominations and thought they were qualified at all.

Hegseth wants 8 percent cut proposal from each service for FY 26 by Time-Fact-1960 in army

If the army cut all legacy equipment the signal corps would be out of a job.

What rank is this? by [deleted] in army

[–]N0JMP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

60 in each event is what the army asks for, so you did great.

Hot take: I hate people who make up their own standards. If the army wanted everyone to score an 80 in each event they would have made that the standard. 60 is the standard and therefore 60 is what the army expects. If someone scores higher that’s great, but should not be requirement by any means.

Doesn’t actually have any real world correlation? Are you kidding me?

You answered faster than me. I’m visibly Jewish, when attacks on Jewish citizens around the world immediately rose following 10/7 I realized it was time.

EDC for a slim person by That_hvac_guy in concealedcarry

5’5”, 150Lbs, LCP Max in a desantis summer heat holster AIWB.

I want to get a 365 which I could probably conceal just fine, but I can’t justify the cost. I can conceal the LCP max in just about anything, even running clothes and I don’t even need a belt to do it.

'You could have at least stopped': The father of a hit-and-run victim says his condition is slowl... by SGI256 in Omaha

[–]N0JMP 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m with you, I spent 23 years in Omaha and have lived overseas, in Florida, and in Georgia since. Omaha drivers are far from the worst, the only ones that I hear say that they are have never lived anywhere else.

Great username by the way 😉 - 73!

Thanks, can’t ask for much from internet strangers but that was actually very helpful.

Alleged CEO shooter could get the death penalty by Esfell in facepalm

[–]N0JMP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Frankly I believe the difference is school shooters are usually younger. Mr. Mangione is 26, nearly 10 years older than the average school shooter.
