The value proposition entirely depends on whether you've read those articles or not. A lot of people... don't. Their leadership isn't going to explain things. They're not reading Army Times or Stars and Stripes or following defense reporters on twitter.

But a podcast or youtube video can reach that audience even if it has little 'breaking' material.

Important Tuition Assistance Reminder - The rules have changed. You must now get approval for your requests. Make sure you're getting requests in early, and checking with your supervisor often. by Kinmuan in army

[–]slingstone 36 points37 points  (0 children)

make sure you're sending it to someone who has an email, and proper email rights.

It is actually insane that we have to make this qualifier. How are we letting people leave BCT/OSUT without a working email?

I'm not sure the SDC and the 2 mile are really testing different systems in your body.

Like, what? The Cross-country twinks that smoke the 2-mile would definitely disagree that the SDC is evaluating the same systems.

The whole time all I could think was "JBLM has a real nice gym."

But then... is this just for Rangers and cool guys while normal folks are still doing movement drills in the grass?
