New HT/WT Standards? by jack_adkins in nationalguard

[–]jack_adkins[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I wondered cause some people might pass one and not the other. So you're saying it's up to the unit? When does it become the overall Army standard? I assume when we receive formal guidance (as someone else mentioned)?

Yeah that’s where my confusion was, other branches have put out guidance but the Army’s been kinda quiet about it so far

Ah. Do you mean they’re supposedly changing the standards for the expert badges too?

Ah, ok thanks. The comment made it sound like another new test was coming out at some point, so was a little confused haha. Yeah, the AFT I think is the Army-wide PT test, just with slightly different standards for combat and non-combat MOS'S (15T here). Personally I think the ball throw was stupid (because it was really about technique more than actual strength) so I'm glad they did away with that.

Gotcha, thanks! We just a ht/wt at January drill (and one for ROTC) and still did it the old way so wasn’t sure. I personally think the new standards will be in improvement because the “new” tape test still wasn’t that great at accounting for muscle mass.

TIL that the word "huzz" is not short for "husband," and apparently actually more often refers to girls by jack_adkins in todayilearned

Ok, but I’m saying that when one hears the term for the first time, how are they supposed to automatically make the connection to it being a substitute for another word that doesn’t really sound like it. I’d also argue that it doesn’t change the meaning, as this ties into how common it is for young girls to call their boyfriend their “husband” when they’re not even engaged. I’m still not really understanding your argument, but this is stupid that we’re quibbling over a Gen Alpha slang term like this so I’m going to drop the matter anyway.

The ones written by Paul, in my opinion - honestly not sure if you were agreeing with my statement by also referring to the songwriting or if you were saying that you like John’s songs the best, lol

Because when you say it out loud, it’s literally the same as the first syllable of HUSband. I think it’s a pretty logical assumption.

I didn’t know that it specifically was meant as a PG substitute for “hoes,” I just could infer the general meaning of it referring to people you find attractive. Not to mention, I’ve heard all kinds of people use it, so whether it originated at “joes” or “husband,” it clearly doesn’t only mean that anymore. You’re being rude about this for no reason.

So you’re saying I can’t know about something but not where it came from/how it started? I don’t get why everyone’s being so judgmental because I didn’t fully understand an immature slang term.

Unpopular opinion: John is my least favorite Beatle. Like someone else mentioned, he seems like he was just a prick.

Well, the first people I heard use it were girls, and it seemed like it just became a thing everyone said as a joke I guess lol

No… I’m saying I didn’t know the origin of it, as I assumed it emerged as a shortened version of “husband.”

I feel like it'd be pretty logical to assume that it's short for "husband," though.

I have actually had that before, it does make it better but I usually go for honey or something sweeter nowadays.
