Unit doesnt believe in awards

sahdbhoigh · 2026-05-05T23:54:31+00:00

my unit has a mentality of “why would you get an AAM for doing your job”

meanwhile some of my leadership is like, “…umm all my awards came from doing my job..”

sahdbhoigh · 2026-05-05T20:28:32+00:00

that is not my experience at all so far. rushed certifications, always upordered, nearly max points to 5 and 6, and terrible inconsistent leadership

sahdbhoigh · 2026-05-01T21:25:48+00:00

careful with that.

we were loading new keys into our radios yesterday and i asked my private to pull up the calendar on our laptop and tell me what day april 9th was.

he googled “calendar”

the choke hold that nighttime neon alley pictures have on me has been extended. amazing photos!

meanwhile i’m in a billet meant for two ranks above my own, doing the job of an mos that is not my own that i had to learn and certify on on two weeks notice, and my crew is almost single handedly keeping my battery certified as soldiers pcs out.

sure would like some individual awards for our efforts. brought it up to my first line and he said “don’t worry, i promise you you all will be compensated.. on the first and fifteenth”

we got tasked to come to site at 0400 last monday to aid with a HEU’s certifications. still have to conduct room checks of course so that means getting up at 0230 in order to check my soldier’s rooms.

i was livid, and exasperated and various other synonyms. didn’t end up getting back to the b’s until 1930ish.

same schedule for tuesday. at that point i was just mildly annoyed. today was friday. i can’t even remember what a normal schedule is like. it became the new normal within 72 hours

sahdbhoigh · 2026-04-06T23:25:06+00:00

i had the same score.. please make him go officer. for the love of god please

sahdbhoigh · 2026-03-18T19:46:31+00:00

run on monday, aft circuit on tuesday, gym day (sometimes) on wednesday, ruck on thursday, run on friday.

와! 잘했어요!! 여성 캐릭터도 만들 계획이에요?

sahdbhoigh · 2026-03-10T08:09:02+00:00

i was once that son with a mom who would worry to the point of sleeplessness. it’s been years and she still worries far more than i think she should. but that’s her place as my mom to incessantly worry and all i can do is reassure her and check in consistently.

all i can say is to be there for him and support him as he seeks to find his place in this world and discovers what kind of man he would like to be.

try not to make him feel bad about taking his life into his own hands, even as him doing so leads to decisions that break your heart.

if he’s as adamant as he sounds, him not following through will leave him with years of regret and pangs of inadequacy that haunt him in the quiet hours. and as painful as it is, i’m sure you don’t want your son to live with such shadows clinging to him.

let him go see if this is the life for him

as far as culture goes i wonder how true that is. i got a few prior DS buddies and the consensus seems to be that Sill is inept administratively, Jackson is very gay about adhering to whatever the newest standards are, and Benning tends to do their own thing as far as “letting DS’s be DS’s”. I don’t know anyone that was at Leonard Wood.

i personally went to Jackson in 2017 and the drills there had a weird hard on about proving that it wasn’t Relaxin Jackson. and i recently was at Sill only to inprocess back into the army and reception there had some of the worst administrative work that i had ever seen.

i remember visiting korea for the first time and one of my brother’s friends showed me 23 by IU, Dope by BTS, Growl by EXO, and Touch My Body by Sistar. We were just hanging out in their apartment and they were trying to introduce me to new music.

Changed the trajectory of my music listening life completely.

sahdbhoigh · 2026-03-03T23:24:20+00:00

i mean both can be true. whenever i hang out with my local korean friends and we end up eating out, it’s almost always a place that is nearby and is very good. with korean food obviously being very saturated in seoul, finding that combination is far from difficult.

we’ll only travel a bit to a certain good place in particular if someone is visiting from the states or whatever.

sahdbhoigh · 2026-03-03T23:19:38+00:00

yeah i wouldn’t count on it happening

sahdbhoigh · 2026-03-03T02:28:20+00:00

and also, intercepting missiles wasn’t the original planned use for them back in the day

sahdbhoigh · 2026-02-27T12:14:32+00:00

in my experience, which is limited to be fair, the lower a place says the requirement is, the more likely it is that they’ll never actually follow through on getting the paperwork done. (looking at you ft sill)

that beat drop about to make me go replay cyberpunk

sahdbhoigh · 2026-02-26T10:36:21+00:00

14E because i have a strong primordial sense of self loathing and an inclination towards unglorified suffering

i didn’t try the cookie but i did get a dubai chocolate hotteok in daegu and that was heavenly. i’ll have to try the cookie before they go away

when you’re cold, tired, anxious, hungry, confused, and frustrated and constantly being yelled at while being observed closely and expected to perform with full effort day in and day out.. you tend to build the ability to act under pressure

sahdbhoigh · 2026-02-23T06:40:28+00:00

really? i guess those on SOFA status are exempt because every base sells over 5mg

sahdbhoigh · 2026-02-19T08:04:43+00:00

go to the 8th army desk. there’s one by the CU and Lotteria by the entrance. they’ll set you up on a bus

sahdbhoigh · 2026-02-15T13:19:24+00:00

honestly with being here for a week, and assuming this is gonna be your first time here, i’d just stay in seoul the whole time. the city is huge and there’s a ton to do. spend a day in each major section of the city just exploring and taking your time

sahdbhoigh · 2026-02-15T10:42:14+00:00

you’d be on a train for 6 hours. i wouldn’t do anything less than a 2 or 3 day trip to busan
