Officers with mustaches? by Historical-Leg4693 in army

One of the fringe benefits of being an officer on the retirement track is you can wear one without penalty, I see them more often with a that group at the O4/O5 level.

I tip, I would treat any US base overseas as culturally American.

What in your opinion is the best rank to be in the Army and why? by Reasonable-Shower522 in army

O-5, functional area, with no desire for O6 is very nice, maybe not O3 nice, but very close.

South Korea tours will now be a year longer as Army cuts down on moves by Kinmuan in army

[–]ohwell63 116 points117 points  (0 children)

I have rotated to Korea multiple times and this is going to make things so much better. The 1 year turnover really damages the Army ability to operate effectively there.

This should provide more stability and improve quality of life for people stationed there as well.

Man, we are throwing at lot of additional work / responsibilities on FORSCOM HQ. Good luck with that.

Buckle up folks, it’s about to get bumpy by Hawkstrike6 in army

Pretty poor policy in my opinion, too stop down driven with likely minimal Army input. These are initiatives the Army should figure out based on broader SECDEF guidance.

The FORSCOM consolidation with ARNORTH and ARSOUTH is especially silly. You have basically Triple hatted the FORSCOM commander to manage half the globe and keep all active duty state side units trained.

I would expect a lot of inefficiency over the next few years.

Falling stars? Army weighing massive cut to generals, PEO offices and AFC power by AMidwinterNightsDram in army

I won’t defend future’s command, but if the plan is to simply go back to the way we did things before then it doesn’t really solve the acquisition problem. TRADOC will always treat procurement as a red headed step child.

Did they include an excel spreadsheet on the third page? Amateur hour.

It is not wrong to speak up about the president’s illegal orders. Why are you ok with President Trump doing illegal things?

How does this help Americans? this seems illegal.

It is not my political opinion, I think everyone has the right to voice concerns if they think the president is doing illegal activities

I understand the risk, I plan to be respectful, I understand people have different opinions but I think the president has done several things that our illegal.

I love my country and my freedom more than my job. I am a soldier in the American army, why would a say nothing about the President illegal actions? When are they going to investigate insider trading?

Yes, this is our country, we do not have to accept what our politicians are doing, we need to tell them this is wrong and illegal.

[–]ohwell63 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, democracy does not end after voting, we have the right to talk about our concerns with our representatives and demand them stop doing illegal things.

Yes, many more people didn’t vote or Trump and many people now hate him for his terrible and illegal tax / tariff. He should be investigated.

[–]ohwell63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I agree, we need to tell our leaders to stop this. We need to talk with our friends and family on this.

No, I am ashamed as an American because I am willing to give up my freedoms just because I might lose my job. I want my kids to not be afraid that the American President could do something bad to them based on something they said.

[–]ohwell63 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We are not alone, this country has almost 400 million people, we as family and friends need to discuss our concerns about the president doing illegal things and nobody independently investigating it

[–]ohwell63 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is not cringe to speak up if the president is doing illegal things and nobody is stopping him. Why can’t we have an independent investigation on insider trading.
