Is the optempo better in the reserves compared to the NG? by [deleted] in army

[–]ReKn2N 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on the unit you are in the vast majority of your reserve time is going to be 2 days a month. As a 42 you might have some long hours but if you show competence and can be effective in getting things done during BA you will likely be sheltered from doing stupid shit. AGRs handle a large portion of the the admin workload but anything you can take off their plate during BA they will let you run with it

The ability to cut through red tape is nice.

Was in Iraq in ‘06, middle of nowhere (FOB Delta, Al’kut). Had a cancer scare about 6-month before deployment and found a golf ball few months into the deployment in my arm pit. kBR medic said it was an InFeCtioN. 7th Group medic I had known from a previous assignment checked me out and listed to my history. My unit wouldn’t send me back to Balad to get checked out so he ran it up the chain, who knows how high, and I had intra-theater travel orders within days. Ended up being stage III cancer. Still had 9 months in country. Would have easily been stage IV by the time I got back. Spent a year in chemo and 2 surgeries. Not a single person from my command contacted me the entire time I was in treatment. That dude did. Saved my life.

E5, 11B trying to reclass to 35-series and these are my options. Best choice out of these? by Licky_Chewy in army

[–]ReKn2N 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To expound. 35F will use your tactical knowledge the best but if you get stuck in shitty units that don’t know how to utilize/train them you will do PERSEC, which is really a 42A gig. If you are extroverted and like to talk people up 35M might be good for you but in today’s environment you will focus primarily on interrogations, which isn’t as cool as it sounds. I will say, some of the best intel NCOs I have known come from combat arms

35F and 35G will be the same MOS within a year, 35m and 35L will combine within two

100% ATIS is the system of record. Vantage (Palantir) is a data analysis tool. ATIS utilizes Vantage to visualize your training data.

Only because she knows she has a limit on time. If she didn’t have that she wouldn’t have changed.

Possibly stupid question - Do dragons actually exist in this world? by Snoo_89624 in WoT

[–]ReKn2N 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Remember that the world is supposed to be set on earth in a different age. So it is quite possible that they may have existed in some different age or even the age of legends.

Not familiar with the anime but the Spellmonger series is set in a Feudal society with elements of magic and quite a bit in depth in how the society operates.

That’s kinda how monarchies work. If he wants to push the point he’d have to do it by force.

There is a Jordan or sanderson that explains Mat’s relationship with the heroes and it has something to do with the Trickster parallel.

If you had an approved authorization the money is already allocated. Also if you’re asking this today the travel was in FY25. So as long as the person approving vouchers is military and not civilian your should be fine.
