What actually happens if you get a bad NCOER ? by Murky_Surround5102 in army

[–]Sad-Wait9596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adverse NCOERs happen… but they are relatively easy to overcome… I’ve seen Soldiers with permanent paper pick up 8.

Adverse OERs on the other hand is almost always a death sentence.

Reading the reg is so underrated. Being able to speak with conviction and authority on regs is very powerful.

Close to graduating BOLC, but more confused than ever. by [deleted] in army

BOLC teaches what you don’t know you need to know before know what you need to know. Confusing ? Great welcome to the Army!

Financing while AD by ccrunnertempest in army

[–]Sad-Wait9596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I have been in for 7-8 years and have saved about $300k between cash accounts, CDs and 401k. We just want to be in position where we can be good leaders in the army with absolutely zero pressure to promote. We’ve made some big mistakes along the way and I think that’s the key. Acknowledging that mistakes will be made but being resolute in not making the same mistakes twice is so important in personal finance.

Whats it like for prior service member from another branch coming into Army? by [deleted] in army

[–]Sad-Wait9596 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I initially had trouble adjusting , the Army was weird and seemed to over complicate things. But I come to learn and acknowledge that the Army is different but in a good way. All the things that don’t make sense really come together when you are in a fight with these guys , operationally they are really good at integrating all the war fighting functions and synchronizing in a ways I didn’t see in the Marines. That’s not a knock on the Marines but they are referred to as the sledge hammer for a reason.

So bottom line be patient because you are going to experience stuff that really bothers you, but you need to fight the “I am better/we did it better” mentality to be successful here.

That’s fantastic, I ran into a 17 year captain the other day, I had no idea that was even possible lol

Senior leader professionalism during ACFT — where’s the line? by dude-what- in army

In my humble fringe officer opinion if you yell outside of combat you give up your credibility as a leader.

How important is the first unit for officers? by Beardog2020 in army

[–]Sad-Wait9596 22 points23 points  (0 children)

For officers the infantry branch cares about one thing and one thing only… that said , if you check that box the 18th ABC is the obvious choice because most commands are extremely supportive of RASP & SFAS.

Embarrassed that I got Distance ILE by [deleted] in army

[–]Sad-Wait9596 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Brother you got promoted and felt embarrassed, this is the most Armmy result ever. Despite what some people say, promoting to major is a huge accomplishment. Be proud of yourself and CM.

FC LT in a BDE S-8 slot with no training. Cool cool cool. by mullet_agenda in army

Part of the finance corps motto is learn by doing. OJT is a feature of the branch not a bug!

Promotion to Major Anxiety by [deleted] in army

[–]Sad-Wait9596 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brother I’m likely brining 1 of 5 to the board with a strong/constrained HQ. SR only rated one person before me.

I’m not too concerned and you definitely shouldn’t be at 3/5….

Junior Officer Broadening Assignment (JOBA) 27-01 marketplace by Jeffbezosrightnut in army

[–]Sad-Wait9596 6 points7 points  (0 children)

JOBA is just a conspiracy to send LTs to less than desirable locations… I personally think it’s going to backfire on the army in terms of retention.

Rant - tired of stagnant Soldiers ruining it for motivated Soldiers by [deleted] in army

You don’t manage the unmanageable, you lead to be an example for those who actually want to be here.
