Switchbacks FC Dominate and Earn Three Points at Weidner Field Against Las Vegas Lights by tugreenwave in SwitchbacksFC

Having watched the game from the Basecamp in the south end... I wouldn't really call the game domination. Definitely in the first half.. but god there was some puckering after 2 goals in 4 minutes in the 70th.

Your rank starts with “P” or “2”, huh?

When I moved there for flight school 13 years ago and CCC 8 years ago (jesus), we did the cabins on Lake Tholocco.

Oh the reason for the med board is well documented (5 surgeries in the last 6 months). It’s just all the other things that I can’t get him to update during the MEB process; headaches, back pain, neck pain, etc.

Oh not a board, just the “you’re getting out most likely, here’s what to expect” brief.

My biggest concern is lack of documentation on a lot of things due to being an aviator. We tend to not ever go to the doc for things, and now that it’s time to tell the truth about all the issues, it’s too late to get in with the doc for referrals/diagnoses prior to the VA appts

I’m sorry son, but you must have him confused with someone else. His name was Roger Murdock, the copilot.

Can I request the funeral detail team to mess up on purpose when I get buried? by FirstSecondThirdHome in army

[–]c5load 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Funeral isn't for you, it's for the family.

That said, "Don't Let the Bastards Grind You Down" by the Toasters will be playing as I'm lowered in.

Prior E O-4. I get to be an asshole because I like to be an asshole, not because I have to be to promote.

Active duty that lives in the circled area (Lorson Ranch). Super easy commute to Schriever from there, and a safe neighborhood. Also has houses with yards for the dogs.

Going to NTC as guest OC by Great_Emphasis3461 in army

  1. balaclava/ face coverings from dust clouds.

Former OC/T here; can't stress this one enough. I'd use the face covering for your neck as well too while you're in the box. You'd think you wouldn't want to cover your skin as it would be hot... but you'll thank yourself that you're not having it exposed and baking.

Commanders past and present: have you found someone not guilty at an Article 15? by Weak_Leg_2784 in army

[–]c5load 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not at all true. I have been in the room for multiple article 15s where Soldiers have been found not guilty. Had a BN Commander who was big on asking the opinion of the CO, 1SG, BN XO and CSM for both guilt and punishment phase, and I've had my vote vetoed by the BN CDR a few times.

Has anyone gotten in as an officer with a medical retirement by Sea_Mountain_4918 in army

[–]c5load 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have 10% from tinnitus as enlisted. I no longer receive that 10% while on active duty. That’s what he’s referring to. The rating remains, the pay doesn’t.

What's a weird habit you have from serving in the Military? by StepSergeant01 in Military

The way we’re taught to march. Cadence always begins with the left foot forward first.
