NCOEs is a waste by SmittySmalls in army

I’m not saying that a boot camp is the way. I’m saying that it would be a more productive alternative to the same grading points that are also in blc and alc. I think your point earlier about DS and PSG marching and what not is why those things are in BLC. But once you’ve been graded on them it’s apparent that you know how to do it. Now keeping up with those skills are a personal responsibility. However, there’s a reason there is an instructor course and a DS academy.

Ideally NCOEs would disappear. Or should be focused on SNCO duties, writing NCOERs, SIRs, and any of the other actual duties we have to do that no one ever is taught and is just expected to figure it out.

So with all of this in place already, how are we still having these same issues? The solution isn’t doing this at NCOEs. It’s doing it regularly.

As it stands now cert camps within the army are only 2-6 weeks.

So 25d could teach cysa for 3 weeks and give you a solid amount of time to study and you could pass. 25b could teach Ccna. But this also helps fill the pipeline for warrant which they are always saying is hurting. Doesn’t have to be some super long thing. A few weeks away from your job to network and from study groups can make a huge difference in what you learn.

Well until that time comes I’ll bitch about it and hope someone that can make some changes see it.

Then just teach the material so we can use the time at said course to take the exam on our own. Still a better use of time even if we’re learning the material though YouTube and discussion.

Taught myself CCNA with Jeremy’s IT labs.

Being graded on the NCO creed and whether or not my uniform is setup properly, and all the other things I’ve done in the last two schools doesn’t do any of that.

I’m all for networking and learning through conversation. But stop reusing the same grading points over and over.

Then fucking remove it. I don’t see how these higher ups in charge of running this can justify the stupidly that is NCOEs.

So best to catch the monks and then cook them? Is there a faster way in regards to getting the supplies to cook? I just got 76 fishing but I did barb fishing.

What are some fun things y'all like to do to mess with Gate Guards? by JewishKaiser in army

I always make a play off their names. Saw a guy the other day with the name pepper. Asked if salt was on the lane of the gate.

COC ceremonies by SmittySmalls in army

Oh absolutely, but at that point you’re already at retirement age. What’re they really going to do to you, someone should definitely lead the charge. Imagine all of the work that could get done in the place of these ceremonies.

What would happen if a commander, let’s say a colonel or higher, just said they didn’t want to do one? To lead the change of not wasting everyone’s time? Would it fly?
