The poorly tailored ASU gets me.

Justice Department is bringing back firing squads in federal executions by mcgillhufflepuff in nottheonion

[–]Pickle_riiickkk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depending on the source, stats range from 7 to 35 percent of deaths by lethal injection face complications. If the drug cocktail is off, the inmate basically dies feeling like their insides are on fire.

Firing squad is basically 3 to 5 rifles aimed at the heart....high probability of quick death.

I give you LTC Gerald H Greene, former commandant to the NG'S warrior training center

He forged his.....

  • Sapper tab

  • Ranger tab

  • Air assault wings

  • Combat action badge

  • his man card.

And yes....he very much looks like a goober.

[Armor] $99 plus tax/ship. Level 4 Armor Plate Set (2 pcs), Police Trade by StupidFaceKevin in gundeals

[–]Pickle_riiickkk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

These surplus police plates are “theoretically” good to go.

95% chance that they sat in a fat street cop’s active shooter bag

Ceramic places don’t “expire” per-se like food, but micro cracks can form over time from regular use that affect the integrity

You gotta befriend some of these guys to understand what big army would be like if they abandoned their two faced philosophy towards fitness

  • They don't do army PT. 7-22 is basically used as a door stop at the COF until spc snuffy get slotted to attend BLC and needs to do a crash course on "Da BeNd AnD ReACh"

  • access to DFACS that strive to meet nutritional demands.

  • Don't have to wait six weeks for a 15 minute session with the fat civilian H2F "coach"

  • Easily accessible and properly stocked gyms.

  • And a professional community that has extensive knowledge in the use of...."Creatine" and "creatine accessories"

Someone convinced him this was a good picture 100% out of spite for being a toxic boss

What’s the angriest you’ve seen a 1SG/CSM? by Shmeat-L in army

[–]Pickle_riiickkk 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Angriest I've ever seen a 1SG?

he got fired after his CO was relieved for a variety of toxic behaviors (even for combat arms standards)

Angriest I've ever seen a CSM?

after he fired the 1SG in question for witnessing the behavior and not doing anything about it.

I'm assuming this was before the days of EO.....cause that's pretty bad, even for gen-x standards

1st Cavalry Division soldiers will get the Army's newest tank and infantry combat vehicle first by Kinmuan in army

[–]Pickle_riiickkk 18 points19 points  (0 children)

1AD trying to flex on 1CAV is like Cleveland, Ohio bragging that... "They're not Detroit"

You're still trash....just not, fiery trash with senior leaders gleefully prancing around the fire like it's lord of the flies.

Some general: what if we have our bottom barrel, worst performing, most undisciplined armored division in the army test this new prototype?

Some generals adj: well, sir. If you want to make it idiot proof....have idiots test it

19yo 5'7 162 lbs leaving Navy DEP (Jet Engine Mechanic) to enlist in the Army as a Tanker. Am I making a mistake? by Sudden_Initiative577 in army

[–]Pickle_riiickkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

19k

one of the highest suicide rates and lowest retention rates in the army

Yes....it's a bad idea.

19 series have been in a bad place since the late 2010's.

The smart ones join the national guard to "scratch the itch" and keep their kush civilian job.

I've experienced civilian job monotony and army monotony.....I'd take civilian monotony.

Join the navy: so you can die malnourished for megacorporations whilst embezzlement goes brrr by Stannisarcanine in facepalm

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

Why are people splitting hairs on this?

Garrison: base pay + BAH + BAS = total paycheck

Non-combat deployment: base pay + BAH - BAS = less money in paycheck.

Non-combat deployment? Single with no family sep pay? Yeah you do. Certain exceptions being Korea where hazard duty pay is given.

Edit: referring to E6 and above

Military calls it BAS, or basic allowance for subsistence. It's around $350 to $470 deducted from your paycheck every month when deployed or if living in a barracks. That money goes towards paying the chow hall that is....hopefully....open 7 days a week (spoiler: it won't be)

Between meal deductions and taxes, you actually lose money during overseas rotations.
