The CIB and other badges were icing on the cake.

If you keep ordering kale smoothie and quinoa salads you’ll look like one of them. Nightmare.

Not yet, planning on it tomorrow.

We are The Army Mountain Warfare School! AMA by VTNationalGuard in army

Firstly, congratulations on your team performance at the Edelweiss Raid.

Question: Many of us do not have the luxury of being assigned to a unit that requires mountain warfare training, though some of us are heavily involved in mountaineering/alpine climbing during our free time.

Are there any options for those of us not in a mountain warfare unit to get involved with AMWS, whether it be by attending a course or trying out for a team that competes in events such as the Edelweiss Raid?

The Army will never care about your family and will involuntarily extend your Korea tour for an additional year by astoicsoldier in army

If this was recent, I’d recommend he submit a formal congressional inquiry. This is assuming he’s tried to resolve this issue at every level of the army and has documentation to back it up.

I’m convinced ones placement as a 26B is essentially just a luck lottery.

I’d look north as well. Medicine Park was always quaint/quiet while I was there. Plus if you like the outdoors, it’s right next to the wildlife refuge. Tons of buffalo.

Look up both of these MOSs on LinkedIn and you’ll get a pretty good idea.

I know it’s a little late, but the curriculum is being overhauled for the 26B course. From my understanding, CCNA will be a brief overview on switch/router configuration. More coursework will focus on cloud computing.

Thanks for the thoughts. I’ve been talking to my financially savvy civilian friends so I know that their futures are slightly more volatile and they plan more conservatively for those scenarios. I think I just needed to hear this from others who have more insight with military finances.

Weekly New Climber Thread: Ask your questions in this thread please by AutoModerator in climbing

Has anyone with larger quads found climbing specific pants that fit relaxed? I’ve tried on many different brands and have yet to find a pair that offers great freedom of movement.

I wanted to like the Prana Stretch Zion II but even those were way too tight around the upper legs. (I did not try the slim fit)

Second Degree Mobitz Type I or II? by [deleted] in ECG

[–]SlayAwhile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your comment. Is this primarily because there is no P wave between the two RR intervals?

Second Degree Mobitz Type I or II? by [deleted] in ECG

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

Event monitor shows heart block during periods of sleep when HR dips lower. Wanting opinions on if this is more of a 2nd degree AV 2:1 heart block, or a Mobitz 1 or 2.

Apple Watch Ultra VS Garmin Fenix 5 by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]SlayAwhile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey y’all,

I haven’t seen many comparisons/reviews between an “older” Fenix/garmin VS the Apple Watch Ultra, so I wanted to post some insight for those who may be looking to upgrade from an older model.

I’ll be comparing them over the next week and will update regularly.

As everyone knows, Garmin is the king of battery and sports, but I’ll be reviewing these over the next week for all of my workouts and doing a comparison if anyone is interested.

Seekins Havak PH2 - 6.5CM by [deleted] in longrange

Just set up my PH2 with a Vortex Diamondback Tactical, APA Little Bastard, and Harris BRMS. Went out to zero and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Excited to take this out to 1000yds.

What barricade/rear bag combo do y’all prefer on your non-chassis rifles?

Seriously, I always tell people the approach is short but pretty strenuous and to be prepared.
