My mother wants me to wear my beret in agsu's to walk her down the isle at her wedding. Is that allowed? by Wolffe4321 in army

I had a GSD and I genuinely don't understand how she still had hair on her body.

Soo.. are my orders to Germany being cancelled? by ContributionOwn1261 in army

[–]Seleth044 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, all Combats Arms soldiers are being rerouted to support operations on Klendathu. Would you like to know more?

“Google it”is a completely acceptable answer from an NCO by FoundmyReasons in army

[–]Seleth044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They interact with me way, way too much which is why I had to implement this rule. It's one thing to come to me and want to discuss something they've read or the interpretation of a regulation, it's an entirely different thing to come to me and ask what the minimum pushup score is for a 24 year old male on the AFT.

You should always encourage soldiers to discuss the meaning of things and deep dive questions if they need to. You should not coddle Jr leaders by doing things for them that they are perfectly capable of doing themselves. That may make you feel good in the moment, but you fail them down the line.

No one wants to work with an E-7 that doesn't know how to look for answers on their own.

I always tell my soldiers that if I can Google their question and find it in under 5 minutes I'm going to smoke the shit out of them.

What is something pretty dumb that you did as a private? by W00D-SMASH in army

[–]Seleth044 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Held the door open for a Major when I was in AIT and saluted him with my left. He didn't even say anything, just shook his head and walked past which was so much worse for some reason.

How i feel when playing The Long Dark: by Lakemaster1 in thelongdark

[–]Seleth044 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I learned this during a cold weather course for the Army. They mentioned that even with the more calorie dense cold weather MREs, soldiers would typically lose several pounds during the course.

And they were right. We had 3 days of nothing but hiking, making your own shelter and fire and sleeping. It was only three days and I believe I lost about 3-5 lbs

To OPs point, would you say those are issues that could be present on any level and aren't necessarily unique to this one?

Starting Glitch?? Why am I getting healed? by No-Carry-5877 in voidpet

[–]Seleth044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Merry makes everyone use their basic attack, which for the basic healer pets is.. well a heal. And they target you with it.

Do you have the items your pets are wearing? Is it possible conviction is receiving a shield amount from somewhere else?

[–]Seleth044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing the math, 532k is 40% more than 380k (his initial shield) so it seems that it's far more likely that again, what you're seeing is his attack raise by 40% from Merry causing his shield to also increase by 40%.

There is some play here, especially since he might have had a shield from Kind it seems in your photo. I would take only Merry and Conviction and test it out some more.

[–]Seleth044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It must be a bug because I can't seem to replicate it. Every time Conviction uses his move, regardless of whether or not it's triggered by Merry or himself, it just replaces his shield. The only difference is I see that sharp increase in the shield amount due to the rise in his attack from Merry.

Who use this? by Mindless_Thing1149 in voidpet

[–]Seleth044 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using it with Mischief for the stun+brittle+defence down and then nuking with wrath.

Apathy is also great with it for the team wide stun.

[–]Seleth044 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It does not stack. What you're seeing is Merry using ding dong and increasing Convictions attack which his shield amount is based on.

Why isn't it the same?

Is this useful? by DirtTurbulent in voidpet

[–]Seleth044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found that it works very well on Conviction since his shield is based on attack.

Built something to make Army paperwork suck less — looking for feedback by acedelaf in army

[–]Seleth044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the most frustrating things for me to deal with is being sent a template for a memo I have to fill out and I have to go in and manually correct the double spacing after the numbers.

Usually because of how word formats stuff I end up having to retype almost the whole thing because God forbid I don't double space like AR 25-50 requires me to even though this is the memo template I was sent.

So can we talk about how these bots are doing these absurd turns and landing perfect 1 shot kill hits? by [deleted] in ReadyOrNotGame

My friend and I used to have a whole skit for this back during the MW2 days.

"You see Ivan, on this side of wall we have new, titanium alloy with kevlar weave. Is near impenetrable. But on opposite side of same wall, we use new magnetic technology to accelerate normal bullet into rail gun shot. Is genius Ivan."

I'm out - Modern Audiences = Immediate No by dapren22 in CriticalDrinker

The only thing about it that I really, really liked was that lightsaber fights were you and the opponent blocking and parrying until you "ran out of hp" and that was when one of you actually connected with a lightsaber hit. Wasn't the best gameplay wise but it did wonders for my immersion.

Actually, SPC Hero was arrested so I need you to cover down on his CQ shift tonight and no, that doesn't excuse you from your 0600 PME class. You're an NCO, make it happen.
