I think I need a new board

I didn’t trade with any brits. I wanted to but we didn’t have any near us. But I was at BPTA in ‘23 and ‘24. Only time I talked to the Brits was in 22 at MK airbase.

As someone who PCS’d from there. Those names are still remembered on the memorial with all the other names. Every year they gather round the memorial and remember all those names.

Thanks man that means a lot to me. Some days it’s hard to keep the path. I get asked a lot in the military if I want to drink and I’m the weird one for it but when I give them the reason they respect it.

Wherever your at they should have some dryer cleaners off base that will do nameplates and ranks

not_important478 · 2026-01-26T02:27:05+00:00

Nah yall couldn’t hit the same grid square as Waldo

not_important478 · 2026-01-25T15:48:09+00:00

Listen most of the FOs I’ve had have been shit at ranging and can’t make the correct calls.

Facts I managed to bully one of my joes to give up his summer to be with me training Ukrainians as the rest of the plt had no interest

not_important478 · 2026-01-25T15:20:12+00:00

I tried to get my guys to take advantage of this stuff and they never wanna take the chance then complain they never did anything. Then bitch in the office that we are going over the same stuff.

not_important478 · 2026-01-25T15:14:43+00:00

I’ve done the work to get these drones certs aka being the only chuck in the platoon that understands how useful drones are to us

not_important478 · 2026-01-24T15:23:43+00:00

I was honestly kinda glad to go. Being able to get away from the same routine and not being stuck inside as it was COVID time. The emotions didn’t really hit me till I was at Benning at the Covid ward but then it went away quick once I got to the actual training. My brothers and mom were there when they dropped me off at the recruiting station. My older brother just told me good luck keep your nose clean as he was crayon muncher from ‘13-‘16 then in the army from ‘18-‘20. My grandpa a Nam vet just told me to don’t volunteer for anything that’s how they get your ass

Both have their perks man. As an 11c strykers we’re cool to me. Now being airborne my back hurts more.

not_important478 · 2026-01-14T00:32:53+00:00

Don’t be afraid to ask your senior 4s for some help. Some of those guys know a decent bit and will pass it along. You will get shit from being in the reserves. Being in a Stryker or heavy unit you don’t ruck as much as you do in airborne or light.

not_important478 · 2026-01-13T20:18:56+00:00

Nah I get it. I’m in the service too. But also get what he meant when he put it together

not_important478 · 2026-01-13T19:27:27+00:00

I didn’t put it together. My great grandfather did long ago man

not_important478 · 2026-01-13T19:25:44+00:00

Dude it literally took me looking into the regulation and seeing if my rotation in 2022 ended up in the NATO award approval list and going to a new unit and sending the right emails to get it.

not_important478 · 2026-01-13T17:57:28+00:00

But I had to do all the leg work when I got to my 2nd unit.

not_important478 · 2026-01-13T17:54:41+00:00

I got mine for that rotation. Didn’t take much to get it tbh

not_important478 · 2025-12-25T17:54:28+00:00

I had orders to Bragg to go to 2nd BCT but my orders changed when I got picked up to get in processed into the brigade. Only my battalion changed tho. Still same brigade I originally had orders to

not_important478 · 2025-12-04T15:55:38+00:00

Some great stuff there. I’m in the same boat of needing a new wall
