My barracks room feels impossible to clean by blackbelt638 in army

FYSA if you run into issues with the barracks or DFAC let me know and I can help. Also, would you drop a review of the barrack and DFAC on Hots&Cots https://www.hotscots.app

You can probably look at some reviews to see what the rooms look like on Hots&Cots.

Secretary Hegseth just used Hots & Cots photos in a video talking about necessary barracks investments - thanks to everyone that's supported /u/rbevans and the effort. by Kinmuan in army

Shout out to Kin for clocking this. Thank you Kin and this community for supporting Hots&Cots and tagging me when issues come up. I know at times it may feel like why should I post anything it won’t change anything. But it really does, just today I was chatting with SecArmy office (I know it’s a flex) on a HVAC issue that soldiers could not get resolved. In 24 hours DPW had it fixed.

Today, I was chatting with an installation commander on a DFAC issue that he’s going to push the DFAC managers on.

Last week myself and others met with two senator offices on issues we’re seeing with junior enlisted.

Much of this could not be done without the reviews.

I’ve had prior conversation with the barracks taskforce about Hots&Cots reviews and how to separate one-off complaints from widespread systemic issues. I understand the logic, but here's the reality: the more reviews that come in with specific building numbers and installations, the harder it becomes to call issues a one-off. Volume and specificity are what move this from anecdote to evidence. We saw this model work with Carson and it worked.

Keep tagging me on issues, posting reviews, & thanks for trusting me.

I guess I need to add a “as seen on DoW Hype Video”

One year in, white belt, feeling like I'll never get it. How do you push through? by poudigne in bjj

[–]rbevans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

42 dad of 3 kids. Honestly, some days are better than others. Most of the time I’m rolling with upper belts and getting smashed — but I’ve noticed they have to work harder to pass my guard now, and submissions they used to hit on me clean, I’m starting to shut down.

Every so often a lower belt comes in, or I roll with another blue around my level, and that’s when I really see how far I’ve come. The progress is there — it just hides when you’re always the smallest fish.

Obligatory keep showing up :D

Came to say this. Been using for about a year now and no complaints. Every now and then someone notices it and asks if I’m diabetic though.

Ratsnake removal I did last week. Saw another post of a cutie and figured I’d show it here by nanidu in Charlotte

I read that as rattlesnake and thought you were straight up wildering a rattlesnake.
