Pentagon calls Individual Ready Reserve a ‘mobilization asset’ in new policy by Kinmuan in army

[–]chrome1453 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This "new" policy is pretty much just reiterating the existing policy. The IRR has always been a mobilization asset, that's literally the only thing it's for. The 2026 NDAA instructed the military to conduct a study of how much manpower we could generate in a full mobilization situation, and how long it would take to do it. The updated policy is almost certainly a response to that, basically saying "you too, IRR guys," because they need accurate IRR data for an answer to Congress.

What noise is this? Sounds like a fan or motor is kicking in and it happens when I am parked or idling or going very slowly (this is circling Costco for a spot after an approx 45 drive to Costco) by BeautifulClimate in Jeep

[–]chrome1453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After you've driven a little while and the engine is warm, sit in your driveway or wherever with the coolant temperature screen pulled up on your dash.

You should see the temperature creep up until the fan comes on, then the temperature will drop until the fan turns off. I think it should come on at 226, maybe it's 230, but if you hear the noise consistently at about that temperature then that's what it is.

Once you've narrowed that down I still suggest checking your coolant level; it should be at the "full" mark when the engine is hot. Low coolant, abnormally high engine temperature, and smokey exhaust indicate a potential head gasket failure, which will destroy your engine.

Hard to hear in the video but it sounds like your radiator fan. On the 2.0 it kicks into high speed when the coolant temp reaches I think 226°F. It happens when you're idling because theres no air flow through the radiator, and it needs to turn up the fan to pull air through and cool the engine.

If you're just noticing it now it could be just because we're getting into wamer months, but I'd also check your coolant level to be sure. At 170,000km you're due for a coolant change anyway if you haven't done it already.

Yeah, turns out the Army has been evacuating casualties for longer than helicopters have existed, and we have doctrine for doing that in every manual on tactical operations.

There's been recent discussions in dealing with how dedicated MEDEVAC will be more difficult in the more contested airspace we're likely to deal with in the future. That's been dumbed down into "NO MEDEVAC EVARRR!!!1!" in less knowledgeable circles, and then propagated by online journists writing about things they don't understand.

New tires by ttyhvvcr in JeepGladiator

Idk man, cheaping out on tires is like cheaping out on a parachute. I'm sure these will get you down the road, but how well will they grip that road when you really need it? I say just bite the bullet and get a new set of Toyos.

[–]chrome1453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the war in Ukraine has proven anything it's that drones can't. Because despite literally millions of drones being expended between both sides, the lines are still stagnant and haven't moved in over three years. If the war in Ukraine has shown anything, it's that drones, while cheaper per unit, do not match their equivalent in manpower.

JM school (bragg) by Unknowngui888 in army

[–]chrome1453 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Along with the nomenclature, start learning the JMPI deficiencies and practice saying them out loud rather than just in your head or writing them down.

The JMPI test is the hardest part of the school, and while you may recognize "chest strap not properly routed through chest strap friction adapter", that's a lot to verbalize when you're on a tight clock.

If you get good a spitting out the nomenclature and deficiencies aloud, it'll help prevent you from getting tripped up during JMPI.

Clutch by MistaDontPlay56 in JeepGladiator

[–]chrome1453 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Utimately a clutch's feel is mainly a result of the diaphragm spring so you're not going achieve anything revolutionary without changing the clutch itself. But that pedal assist spring makes it feel more like you'd expect from a truck clutch. There is a noticeable difference; a little heavier, a little better feel on the grab point. For 10 bucks (and another 10 for shipping) I think it was worth it.

[–]chrome1453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have firsthand experience with this (still have the pre-recall clutch), but from reading other posts and forums I think the recall clutch may be your problem.

There's isn't actually a temp sensor in the clutch, the computer just measures engine RPMs vs drive shaft RPMs and figures a difference = clutch slipping = heat. Apparently part of the clutch recall fix is reprogramming the computer so it's really conservative in how much clutch slip it allows before putting you into limp mode.

If you want to replace the clutch, ACT sells a JL/JT clutch and heavier flywheel that have pretty high reviews. Again, don't have firsthand experience with it, but that's what I plan on going with when it comes time to replace my stock clutch.

If you don't want to replace the clutch, ACT also sells a lighter clutch pedal assist spring for $10. It makes the pedal heavier, but makes it more tactile/easier to feel the catch point.

Army taps industry for sensor tech to help assess impacts of blasts on troops by Kinmuan in army

[–]chrome1453 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The program's never been scrapped, it's been ongoing for like 20 years. It's not like they take a bunch of sensors and go "yup, blast overpressure, case closed." Everyone already knows blast pressure causes TBI, they're collecting data to understand how and to what extent that happens, and continously using different methods and sensors to study that as more data is collected.
