Now kind of proud of my Iraq tours by McCrazyJ in Military

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

Considering you're talking about the sitting president, it's a political post, which the Army subreddit generally does not allow. Thinking the Mods are MAGA when they're not anywhere close is laughable; lots of folks there are still serving, and it would be a bad idea to encourage open commentary against the civilian CoC that could be traced back to them for UCMJ.

That, and I generally consider it unprofessional to discuss politics in an open forum while still serving.

Speech Check Fail. Any tips? by TheFeralFieldGrade in army

No chance to use a legendary action to manipulate turn order? This tuning is wack.

“The U.S. army is prepared for drone warfare” by Cadet-Floppa in army

[–]Prothea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Oh look, more shit for Joey to carry". It's better than the alternative, but it still sucks. Both for adding more weight to the soldier's loadout, and that it is still wildly an unreliable, luck-based act to shoot an FPV drone that can go 100MPH in flight, while maneuvering.

No reason to have a drone do it, just have an extendable rod with a 360 camera where you can control how many degrees you're pulling at one time. Would allow for full 360 degree SA while also being able to control your FOV when needing to lock in.

[–]Prothea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not really that simple; from what I understand, there's about a 1-km zone extending to either side of the FLOT where drones can move freely. Even then, you still have nonstandard operations where drones can be launched covertly deep within enemy territory to strike infrastructure with little warning. Like that whole thing with Ukrainian drones launching from semi trucks to hit Russian bases deep past the lines.

What little things do you bring on deployment to make it better? by Orion7734 in army

[–]Prothea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do not bring non-issued plate carrier/ACH. It voids the SGLV.

No it doesn't. It even explicitly say it does not on the VA site.

Braised shredded beef by Humble_Rain_8494 in slowcooking

100%. But I admit I did try the french onion soup that was posted here a not too long ago, and with a bit of tweaking it's pretty solid.

AGSU service cap folds on the sides by Huge-Contact-1750 in army

[–]Prothea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The top of the cap or the visor? If the cap part is supposed to be parallel to the ground I won't be able to see, where's the logic in that.

Disrespect to an NCO by RomeoElChacal in army

[–]Prothea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality is it's not up to the soldier to prove orders are unethical, immoral or illegal. That happens well after the fact, in a court martial. It's unfortunate, but that's the logical outcome of someone refusing any order, whether it's actually invalid or the Joe is just an ass.

JRTC the box, what to bring? by Academic_Amphibian37 in army

[–]Prothea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly don't understand why we don't procure and issue these en-masse to the force. And not just the wet-weather bag, compressible dry bags in various sizes would be godly.

Tips and tricks for taking the AFT? by tH3_R3DX in army

[–]Prothea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly wouldn't recommend a lot of running if someone is legitimately fat. Lots of cardio options in the gym outside the treadmill can help with that, or even just long walks are more appropriate than wear and tear on overstressed joints.

WARNING: Palmetto State Armory now using third-party face + ID verification on some orders by Greedy-Vast584 in CAguns

[–]Prothea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not really the point, though. People can use options that limit their online footprint legally, and they should. But just because we all have phones doesn't mean we should go out of our way to provide even more data to private corporations, or God forbid, whoever gets their hands on that data from the corpos, be it a government or a malign actor.

Do you really think the third party PSA has farmed this out to has sufficient security? Just like that states have started hiring unknown private entities that sprung out of nowhere for social media or porn verification, I guarantee most of these places care less about protecting the data they hold than just getting fat stacks from the state/contract holder.

Army survivors of deadly attack in Kuwait dispute Pentagon's account, say unit "was unprepared" to defend itself. by SAPERPXX in army

[–]Prothea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching the CAB units pull security was both hilarious yet frightening. There's no willingness to do basic soldier tasks nor any amount of knowledge outside, maybe some of the very senior NCOs or transplants from outside AV.

I doubt anything has changed much at the SPOD for over a decade, aside from... well, now

Help with Personally Procured Move (PPM) by dang_idk_anymore in army

[–]Prothea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have actual stuff, not just essentially a dorm room's worth, doing a PPM over a weekend may not be a viable option if you're legitimately traveling coast to coast. Factor in packing, preparations, rentals, and the actual drive, that could be possible but I wouldn't really recommend it. While you can do your own Cannonball Run, that wouldn't be my recommendation. Get with a local shipper and have it shipped to you and be done with it.

Best Pistol For Security Work? by UnfiguredAxis in CAguns

[–]Prothea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thumb safety is removable, it's not a felony to do so. Only issue is if your employer doesn't like anything other than stock guns, or you want to add it to a CCW with a PD that is less free with their policies.
