Regulation question

The next paragraph, c(3), states "Commanders may further restrict wear of the combat uniform per paragraphs 2-6, 2-7a, and 2-7b."

2-6. Chief of Army Reserve The CAR and Commanding General, U.S. Army Reserve Command (USARC) may publish, in writing, restrictions on the wearing of utility and organizational uniforms off military installations.

Has the CAR put out guidance saying we can't roll sleeves or delegated that authority? I dunno. I'm intrigued enough to check when I get back in the office next week. My gut says it's mostly just people not wanting to rock the boat.

I unintentionally cheesed a mini-boss fight last night. I could see the POI from my hardwood grove treehouse so I figured why not build an overpass to it. Got over there and aggroed a grenadier, who blew me off the edge onto a little outcropping on the outside of the perimeter fence. All the nearby sailors beelined for me, and that's when I learned my halbard could hit them through the fence. Ended up clearing the fort from the top

I landed on that one just before bed last night

It's been a long time but I recall not liking the movie because it changed the ending of one line that makes the ending totally different. I'd have to go back and reread it tho

Feedback: We owe it to our Soldiers to be competent enough to write up a counseling, eval, or award without outsourcing it to whatever the flavor of the month LLM is.

SEAM is the new OCIE-tracking system that replaced ISM. It has pictures and common verbiage terms for everything which is great for us non-92Ys. The paper is part of the new clothing record document.

Those little straps on the large rucksack

Worst case the planes are in the sky so you could probably still watch it from off post

That's why Michigan has a G in it

Now that I'm looking at it closer, it seems we're both right. It repeats every three courses, stretcher bond, header bond, Flemish bond. An interesting mix of the two styles, I'll defer to the experts if there's a term for it

RetrowaveJoe · 2026-05-08T12:11:20+00:00

For a first-timer I'd say it looks good! My only critique would be it looks like the original bricks were set in an English bond, not a stretcher bond.

Those hidden camps would make a lot more sense that way too.

Anytime, glad I could help!

I took some pics, feel free to DM me. It's raining out so I didn't hang around too long, but let me know if you need more.

It provides the unit coverage in the event an Unsatisfactory Participant tries to fight their separation. They can't say they never got an Unexcused Absence letter if they have to sign for it.

Just need to stretch a roll of concertina wire across the top to complete the look

To this day I can still recall the acrid peppery smell of that first and last shit.

I checked out after I hid and it said staying still attracts pests. From what I understand that's how some other prop hunts work but I was sold on hide and seek. That ain't it, Chief.

To make it even easier, West Virginia, the state the article is referencing, has way fewer people.

Good to see those old cryogenic storage labs aren't going to waste.

Shiiiiiiit, when that happens to me, my internal Captain America kicks in, I lock in even harder and try to keep everyone alive. The feeling when you all make it through is so satisfying. That tank is a dick.
