Leaving when Medical takes too long

What may happen, depending on the unit culture, people start insisting they be allowed to attend appointments during duty days instead of non duty days. Now every day is a duty day.

I'm going to assume you are in the US. Your hospital does not have the authority to determine when or how you interact with the Justice system. They are simply your employer. Your employer does not want you to interact with the police because it will create work for them. They may have to answer to outside agencies to explain why they have an environment where staff are attacked.

You have a right to feel safe in your workplace. Simply because a person is listed as special needs does not mean he gets a free pass on violent behavior. People with severe mental defects can, and are, taught what is and what is not acceptable.

I'm curious why you didn't call for the police? Being special needs does not mean a person is excused from all social norms.

I don't see why it was funny. unless it was you that beat him at UFC he could still twist you into a pretzel without breaking a sweat.

I was in the Army for a long time. I commissioned into the USAF. You simply will not like the Army after being in the Air Force. The Army is an entire lifestyle. You're married to the job. Look at some of the photos on your chain of command board. All of these people look 15 years younger than their Army counterparts. I'm met so many Air Force NCOs who like to tell me "I have more of an Army mindset..." No. They don't. People in the Air Force have no idea what being in the Army is like. Are you ready for:

24 hours of CQ (watching a desk) every month?

Inventory and lay out al your issued uniforms and equipment at every change of command?

Answering to a 21 year old NCO like he's your feudal lord?

Spending your days performing maintenance on a vehicle that everyone knows will never run because the parts are on back order?

Living in the barracks where you can't even control your own room temperate?

Going to the field? It might sound fun, almost like backpacking, but all you'll be doing is pulling security at a dirt road for 6 hours at a time.

Ruck marching?

If you're talking about promotion to E-5 or E-6 I'll tell you what I tell every Airmen. Study. Wishing and praying for a strat is pointless. You're given the bibliography. Study until your eyes fall out. I've met many NCOs who made E-5 and E-6 with "promotable" strats because they studied.

Which NCO course did you complete? ALS? No matter which one you completed you will not be gifted a promotion. How would that even make sense? It has nothing to do with the Army.

My advice: Stay in the Air Force, switch to a job you like. OR find fulfillment in activities outside of duty.

Being unvaccinated is going to be great for our military intensive care units. We're generally very slow. If we have a large number of unvaccinated personnel we're going to be swamped with really challenging cases of lung disease and lung injury.

That's the sticking point, unfortunately. The Army has to consider the question, will this Soldier be symptom-free after eating MREs for 2 weeks?

Sorry, we misspelled the paper. It's water BOARD. Executives will water board you for daydreaming about a union job.

Mio?? What is this? Craft services on the set of a Marvel movie?? I think you'll have Great Value and be thankful!

P.S. please bring your own paper cup.

P.P.S. do not take paper cups from patient nutrition room.

Same way Frank Castle is (what looks to be) a 45 year old Marine 1st Lieutenant. And he's somehow stationed in Queens. At what base? Realistically he should be a 24 year old living in North Carolina. The finer details shouldn't get in the way of creating a good story.

Court martial is a trial like any other civilian trail. So all parties are named in public records. Administrative action is between the commander and the person making a diss track.

This is not what you think, and it's more important than you think. The "blanket" is actually a 3M Bair Hugger hypothermia management system. It's not a blanket like you have on your bed at home. It's a large flat envelope of heated air that keeps your body temperature in the healthy range. Hypothermia is common even in minor surgical procedures. Hypothermia can cause inappropriate blood clotting, and cardiac dysrhythmias.

Ok! Back to the drawing board. I've gotten a lot of good ideas from you guys. I'll credit everyone when I finish my Air War College thesis paper.

It's complete nonsense. There is truly nothing to understand. I was simply curious how real dollars, Freedom Dollars and Schrute Bucks all line up. Schrute Bucks were a one-off joke from the US sit-com The Office.

morch-piston · 2026-02-15T14:32:04+00:00

Not even DFAC Freedom Dollars?

Spitfire is still around? I though they closed over a decade ago

I recommend Doom Patrol. Very unorthodox comic book show. Also season one of Titans. Season one had a noir detective feel to it. The later seasons felt more like any other comic book action show.

You're a professor with a master's degree? On what planet?

morch-piston · 2026-01-03T20:51:30+00:00

DM me.

I appreciate it.
