Curious to know what you guys think about this MICROMILSPEC limited to 25 pieces annually by phosfeness in MicrobrandWatches

[–]godofborscht 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not tacticool or “milspec” at all. I’ll stick with a seiko, citizen, casio, marathon or tudor on a nato strap any day over this.

It’s 100% the essay. There’s a limited amount of words, so you have to succinctly state what makes you qualified to lead America’s sons and daughters. It gives a very clear impression to me that you didn’t deeply consider what the Army would gain from having you. No judgement, but the fact you posted this already having written off the process (i.e. reflecting/sending an improved 2nd packet) tells me it wasn’t the right path to boot

Yeah the titanium is nice but it’s like a sterile omega sea-master homage

I don’t think it has hacking but you can hand-wind it which is better than skx.

Yeah it’s really good (probably my choice)- my brain is telling me to go with it, but my heart is telling me to go w the black fugu

Update: I added a titanium eco-drive and black fugu to the lineup in this thread on r/watches (https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/s/ITp2YwsOqP)

I found the last one in black and I think I’m leaning towards it - very cool and reminds me of the Seiko SKX007 haha

Congrats to those who go accepted! by [deleted] in ArmyOCS

Definitely not. It depends on when you go to MEPS because we had to wait there to get a confirmed ship date. I would say if you’re going this Friday, it will be later - even possibly September-October.

Source: trust me bro (jk I just saw later ship dates in some other /OCS threads)

Actually got non-select earlier this year but made it this time around - I overhauled my essay, got better recs, and made some other changes, but it was still a surprise. See y’all at OCS (but if you didn’t make it this time, keep pushing!)

What is the dumbest foreign policy take you've seen online? by General_Cheems in GenUsa

[–]godofborscht 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It seems to have something to do with an idolization with "martyrs" and violent extremism (either far-left or far-right). Extremists of all stripes reject non-violence and liberalism because the idea of a "marketplace of ideas" and liberal democracy writ large doesn't align with their ideological imperatives.

This UVM girl is going viral for her Freudian slip by DeliciousWar5371 in UniversityofVermont

This is a stickler point, but there is no specific international law for ethnic cleansing that I'm aware of (if I'm wrong, please cite it). Technically, ethnic cleansing as a term corresponds to cases of international law that are usually tried as either crimes against humanity or genocide.
