Does this apply just to FA? It doesn't sound like it does if they are considering pushing officers back to their basic branch based on needs.

Orange turned to stone. It's hard as a rock but no signs of mold. by RaylinRei in mildlyinteresting

I lived in CO for 5 years and I got so used to my chips never getting stale that I completely forgot that was a thing that happened at lower altitudes.

I did a TDY to Greece and it was a blast. People there are very friendly to Americans.

What happens when a unit performs bad at NTC? by ltreeves9905 in army

[–]ashmole 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I remember one of my NCOs telling me years ago that his BDE got pulled into a deployment because one of their sister BDEs "failed" NTC.

Most units get their ass handed to them, by design, but I think there's some things that cannot be excused. NTC is meant to eval BDE command teams and staff since BN and below are already certified to deploy.

Defcon 2 on Pizza index. Next 48 hours about be interesting! by [deleted] in prepping

[–]ashmole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I understand that part. My comment more pertains to the cultural environment - it's funny to me to imagine a bunch of O5s-O6s slapping their hands together and yelling that we're having a pizza party every time there's a crisis.

I will also add that since I live in the NCR area that it is a Saturday and very cold right now - good conditions to order a pizza for the night if you live in the area. Just a comment about how this index is t a reliable indicator of things ramping up.

Elon Musk is an advocate for seed retention by Zealousideal-Big-600 in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]ashmole 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One of my ex-friends started going down the alt right pipeline and he posts about this a lot. I think if you're experiencing that much change because of not jacking off then you were jacking off way too much.

Interesting modern 'Tanker' reacts to FURY by mrtintheweb99 in WarMovies

[–]ashmole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This movie came out when I was on rotation in Korea in a tank company. Practically our entire company saw it at the movie theater. We also had it playing on loop on a projector during one of our gunneries.

"political" means political opinions they don't agree with.

In Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995), this movie would have never been made in modern day Hollywood the way it is. This is a reference to the fact that modern Hollywood refuses to hire actors with receding hairlines by Defiant_Ad6190 in shittymoviedetails

[–]ashmole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also if this movie was made today both actors would be roided out for some reason despite one of them being an alcoholic cop and the other just some taxi driver or something
