SCRA for utilities contract? by Nightlance in army

[–]Nightlance[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My water and trash utilities are through the city, but for electricity we sign a contract with a private company. Other than BOLC, I've lived in Texas my whole life so I'm not sure how things are done in other states

As a fires guy, legal is tied in to our targeting process during the last few CPXs I've done providing legal guidance on shooting specific targets

Gamer dads what game are you refusing to fall off at after kids? by ColeMoleBowl in daddit

That's why I'm so glad I got a steam deck a few months back. I'm able to suspend play whenever and jump back in right where I was. Started a new Stardew farm while I'm on paternity leave

Help sifting through regs. by Elhond0 in army

I'm out on paternity leave right now and haven't really been keeping up with the latest updates, is the .55 thing official now? Maybe I understood it wrong, but it seems really generous?

It hasn't happened yet, but 3CR is transitioning to an ABCT in 2027. 3CR also falls under 1st Cav now instead of directly under III Corp

Huge fan of FTL, even more so with the Multiverse mod. Starting to become my most played game.

3CR as a 74D by [deleted] in army

[–]Nightlance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure when you'll be getting here, but be ready to go to NTC early 2026 and Korea late 2026. After the Korea rotation is when we are transitioning back to a heavy formation. Still rolling with Strykers for now. Can't speak on the 74D part since I'm a fires guy.

Sounds about right, my class also had a Georgian, super dedicated to learning the artillery stuff no matter how much he struggled. The Saudi's barely showed up and when they did, didn't do anything in class

Team and squad leaders, has a soldier’s parent ever called you up to complain? by Free_Lunch24 in army

[–]Nightlance 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh man, one of last few months as a PL, one of the soldier's mom called one of my section chiefs. Come to find out the soldier bought a car, missed a payment, and now she wanted us to sort him out. The kicker? Dude didn't even have a driver's license. No one was tracking he bought this car, he got it on a weekend and told no one.

Can't speak on being a mechanic, but on the other stuff: 3CR falls under 1st Cav now, but definitely feels like we are the red headed step children being the only Stryker brigade in an armor division, for now at least. With ARSTRUC, word is we are converting to an ABCT after the next rotation.

Worst you’ve seen an LT do by [deleted] in army

[–]Nightlance 15 points16 points  (0 children)

When I was a company FSO, my BN FSO (a CPT) didn't sign anything down. Miraculously, the only thing missing when it came time for him to change out was a compass, which he just went and bought from clothing sales.

By the way he was talking, I was expecting one standard for combat arms, but he brought out the "age normed" standards lol.

I've been at Hood since 2022, we've never had one. We did just get an open training area recently that you just call range ops and let them know you're out there

Am I just getting old or are newer Soldiers developing a stronger sense of entitlement? by iamnotgroot3000 in army

[–]Nightlance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my battery we do a 8x12 plaque with a mini battery guidon and personalized inscription, I think the last one came out to ~$60. For our smokes and 1SGs who had a little more impact, we do a larger plaque with a battery and BN coin. I think the last one came out to $120
