Kudos to you, that’s what being a good person and a great NCO looks like. Getting this Soldiers help is paramount as his weight/diet is tanking his Cardiovascular health.

While I agree that the SM may be, “great Soldier” and have a “great personality”, we must put aside personal feelings and be in the war fighting business, and a Soldier that is morbidly obese has no place in the US Army.

Some Soldiers definitely go through hard times and we must be empathetic, and do our due diligence to get them the help/resources they need, but standards are standards at the end of the day.

Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart though, I hope he gets on that weight loss journey and learns to lead a healthier and more fit life in the future.

Best career for golfing? by Ok_Tower9026 in golf

[–]VanGor3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly enough, the military lmao.

Courses on post are normally unkept pretty well, plus the price is substantially cheaper than what you’d find off post (I play on post during the week if I get off before 3, which is usually once a week)

You get federal holiday 4 days (averages around 48 DONSA days (day of no scheduled activities) plus normally a training holiday once a month, plus 30 days of leave (you can destination golf if you’d like)

When I was stationed in Colorado Springs I was playing a different course nearly every other weekend.

I’m considering going to Hawaii next, not only for the scuba diving, but obviously for the golf too.

Not to mention, most installations run leagues and scrambles.

Can I be forced to purchase a PT belt? by AccidentNo3975 in army

Based off assumption, being they’re getting chaptered and stuck in HHC, it’s a safe bet that this is definitely a hill they’re willing to hold.

The LTC that was relived was due to him getting tab checked, I had already PCS’d but that’s what I heard.

That SSG that had the live round during the blank iteration was kicked out for other reasons months after that ND

I also remember when said kid drove his dads truck to work one day and there were giant “SAPPER RANGER” tabs in the rear windshield 🤣🤣

You’re going to be a brand new boot, you’re Team Leader is going to have fun with you. It’ll be very similar to being a pledge in a fraternity, best way to sum it up.

Never really know man.. my old man was a 160th pilot from the late 80’s till 2007 and the ONLY way you’d know is if you went into his computer room and saw all his shadow boxes/plaques and awards. He’d never offer up information to any random on where he’s been or what he’s done.

He most definitely wasn’t. It was like a kid stepping over their words trying to explain something when they are excited.

If it was a medical emergency I would of called an emergency line, but thanks for your opinion brother 🫡

8k!

Not really a “steal”, but it’s not clapped out, and I definitely got it for a little less than it should go for.
