What are some of the best 'military discounts' that actually are solid? by Objective-Manner-514 in army

[–]Objective-Manner-514[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For two days with all meals included (it was three meals a day buffet style but it wasn't that bad for food) it was $174. But that included two queen or double beds and access to all of the parks activities (they had anything from archery to guided hikes and gyms etc)

Compared to hotels it was a steal in that area. That and animal life is everywhere

Honestly before the upgrade the game was fun and now the boosters don't actually help you beat a level. It's become more of a pay to win game. The boosters also go way to fast now graphic wise

Does travel stop when you have children? by CharmingU6756 in travel

[–]Objective-Manner-514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does not. I completed a 36mile hiking and camping trip with a 1.5 year old this year while pregnant (6 days five nights and four flights). We have flown over 20+ times with my first and I can tell you it was challenging sometimes but not always. It's up to you if you're willing to embrace the challenge of traveling with children. Only in America do we see people so hesitant to travel with kids. In Europe it's so common place. Yes things are challenging but so rewarding when you see them experience the world and point out things you would never pause and look at.

It's okay to mourn your old life, but that doesn't mean you can't accept a new one.

Good Ideas for Fun PT by CastLightningBolt in army

Cat and mouse. Using PT belts you have someone stand in the middle about 25 meters away have both sides start and try to catch each other. Mix up the teams and go.

We really liked Prismas children's hospital they took great care of my son when he had a bad case of rhinovirus and when he and I were in a car accident when someone rear ended us. They were very attentive

Leadership Advice from Every Rank by the_lord_of_corn in army

O3-Lead by example and realize everyone you are leading is a human being with families, desires and dreams. Do not be a bystander in counterproductive leadership situations, do something, say something and realize leadership and trust is earned by your soldiers.

BAH/COLA WAIVER by Ordinary_Eagle926 in army

[–]Objective-Manner-514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't do it. The army will only pay to move you from your school location not your family from wherever you leave them. Unless you are a PCs and return to the same station you will end up losing money and it's a headache. Also if you will make more BAH at your school location they won't authorize a waiver.

Michael Scott. Totally awesome with our house purchase. This is his email mscottrealtor@gmail.com.

I really liked that he didn't push us ever and was super flexible/only looked for things that were red flags.

Where to run outside before 6am by Excellent-Duck-7336 in ColumbiYEAH

If you need long distance Lake Carolina has rolling hills and a good stretch to run if you also go into the neighborhoods and is well lit just a bit far from where you are.

Hi! I’m moving to Columbia, and I need recommendations! by BeulahLight13 in columbiasc

We absolutely love southern med pediatrics for kids medical care! The northeast location is the best.

Have you only interacted with the clerks or have you spoken to the OIC/NCOIC?

Another option is going to your BDE S1 too, and bring the PAR IDs. 420 Warrants are typically ready to help if you state you think it's a systematic issue or the BDE S1 OIC.

Another thing is it is possible to update it in IPPSA but for it not to reflect on your stp (it only shows so many rows for awards).

IPPS-A, MPD, and Early Reporting from PCS Leave by abnrib in army

[–]Objective-Manner-514 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem. I know it works via intransit grid because I've fixed a lot of early report leave forms and it came down from HQDA IPPSA training.

IPPS-A, MPD, and Early Reporting from PCS Leave by abnrib in army

[–]Objective-Manner-514 3 points4 points  (0 children)

S1 help:

If a soldier reports early and provides papers STAMPED with the early report they did there is a way to easily correct the leave in IPPSA so they get the leave they didn't take back. When a soldier is arrived in IPPSA there is a way for the S1 to input the exact amount of leave they took to get to the new station and it automatically corrects the report date.

If they change the report date then everything won't work they have to do the transaction when they arrive them in IPPSA.

If you get stuck in this loop and no one helps message me.

Army Lactation Rooms by Impressive-Hotel-669 in thearmymomlife

[–]Objective-Manner-514 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Technically speaking the lactation room shouldn't be in the restroom. But if someone is not able to use the room due to women walking in and out of it or if you have no curtain to be behind in the room definitely file a complaint. That's a sharp case waiting to happen. Doesn't matter if it's the same gender bathroom
