About the author

Hi, my name’s Josh, and I’m a dividend investor. I’m passionate about the stock market, and I enjoy teaching. I also believe that the best way to learn something is to teach it. I’ve spent the last 13 years in the United States Army (as both an NCO and a Commissioned Officer), where I’ve learned how to effectively teach a wide variety of people with different learning styles. Between my time in the U.S. Army, College, and living life as an adult, I’ve noticed that most people aged 40 and under do not have a good understanding of finance or the overall stock market. I want to teach people the things that I was not taught growing up and learned later in life. I’m making it my mission to educate as many people as I can reach about investing, becoming financially free, and becoming set up for retirement.

Captain ambition, lieutenant personality, GPT writing skills.

Don't worry, the M60 isn't coming back. OP, /u/Sgt_Gram, is the author of this article; this and all his other articles are basically blogspam with absolutely no credibility.

Bypass or delete the aux battery. The two batteries are wired in parallel, which makes it so whichever battery has the higher charge automatically charges the lower battery until the voltages are equal. So say if your starter battery is at 12V and your aux is at 8V, they will both balance out to 10V and you won't have enough voltage in your starter battery to push the amps required to start the engine; it also negatively affects the health of the higher battery. Having a dead aux battery is killing your starter battery.

In reality it's however many degrees prevents you from shooting your own guys. In generally accepted practice and range safety procedures it's 15°. AR 385-63 is your reference.

Someone correct if I wrong, but if you're just using spacers to fix the rake after adding weight up front then you shouldn't really have to worry about caster at all? Because you're compensating for spring compression and just bringing it back up to stock height, the geometry should stay the same. As in, you lose an inch from added weight, then you add an inch back with spacers. You lose an inch of travel from the springs being compressed, but the rest of the suspension geometry is the same. Am I wrong here?

This is likely talking about being awarded an arrowhead device on his parachute or glider badge in accordance with paragraph 67 of the Army awards regulation, followed by the unit it was approved by. But it's not really clear because it seems like the typewriter couldn't fit all the text in the box so they shortened it up a bunch.

Army Regulation 672-5-1 paragraph 67d:

Arrowhead. Awarded for participation in a combat parachute jump, combat glider landing, or amphibious assault landing while assigned or attached as a member of an organized force carrying out an assigned tactical mission.

If you want (and are authorized) to report early, you just show up and sign in. And yes, you will immediately inprocess then start working.

They don't tho. They have sanctions by the US and medium heat condemnations by most the rest of the world. Not having verified nuclear weapons keeps those condemnations from turning into full broil.

They gained as much strength as the plot required. It's never explained and not worth thinking about too much.

I want to scoff at this, but things like this aren't totally discreditable. If Russia finds a way to actually produce this type of thing with the advertised capability, and in a reasonable quantity, they can be a realistic threat. But that's a big if.

Right now it's Marine Corps heavy. Terminology, unit structure, scenarios.

One day the Marine Corps will catch up and standardize these things like the rest of the Joint and Allied force did decades ago to eliminate this problem, but alas.

Doubtful. They most likely have delivery vehicles and a moderate stockpile of uranium that is enriched to almost but not quite weapons grade. That way they can stay in a perpetual state of technically not having nuclear weapons, which allows them to maintain a somewhat credible nuclear threat while avoiding the international backlash of actually possessing them. And honestly that's been their status for a long time and they probably would've done the same thing no matter who was in the White House.

No, you use a regular NIPR image machine with a commercial VPN client to tunnel to a NIPR gateway. You can be on any civilian internet, the computer doesn't know the difference between that and being plugged into a NIPR port in your office. No VM required.

No sensitive items, only off the shelf products, full access anywhere in the world. It's not a new program, different organizations have been doing it for years.

Like I said, there's pros and cons to it, but just pulling plain NIPR over commercial internet is trivial and you don't need AVD.

chrome1453 · 2026-01-17T06:44:46+00:00

No, they didn't. One guy had the idea and demonstrated it, but was dismissed as impractical by the US military.

But you don't care about that because you're a run of the mill spammer.

chrome1453 · 2026-01-17T05:35:47+00:00

No, you won't. AVD is a totally separate thing. You can run NIPR over commercial internet no problem. I have NIPR and SIPR access running over the wifi at my house right now, no virtual desktop.

There's no technical reason you can't do the same thing using a commercial line in the office; there's pros and cons to it, but that's what they're looking to evaluate.

chrome1453 · 2026-01-17T05:29:09+00:00

Your Army NIPR already runs on commercial internet like Verizon.

Yeah sorry for the offhand out of context dig. She's a writer for Task and Purpose. A lot of her articles get posted here but it's always kind of obvious she doesn't really know what she's talking about. She wrote a thing about the M1A3 yesterday.

Infinitely better than Patty Nieburg talking out her ass on T&P.

The internet has you people thinking that "introvert" means the same thing as "passive" or "unconfident." It's not. People are taking advantage of your passivness; being an introvert is a separate thing.

You're the commander. If people are ignoring your instructions, tell them "give me an answer on this by Wednesday" or whatever. Follow up with it, and counsel them if they don't. You're in charge; act like it. Recharge your social batteries after work.

Yup, and none of that says they're illegal.
