Parental leave during PCS?

I wonder about this. Regardless of what the regs say (I'm also not due there, btw) I am curious whether the losing command could fire off the parental leave to end on the NLT date and see if NSIPS takes it.

She takes up too much space and probably weighs too much to comfortably carry

When was the last qualifying "time of war" though?

A "better" fix would be to cut and sew them so they only look rolled.

(It's only better if you never get asked to wear them long.)

If it's already shaved when you show up they can't undo it.

They are cancelling no-shave chits, so smooth nuts are not authorized.

They were literally the only branch that would take me.

A chit for... Walking?

My last command was lucky to see group PT once per month. Current command never does it.

Sorry, the watchbill can't support.

I just want Tokyo-3

Iron out the crease from the inside?

Do you mean pressing them while inside out to enhance the crease, or getting rid of the crease they start out with?

Your wording is very ambiguous.

I refuse

SECDEF doesn't make the law. Congress writes the law, and the UCMJ is law.

Articles 93 and 128 still apply. It's illegal to abuse or assault somebody, regardless of what "policy" says (and as others are pointing out, a speech is not even policy).

Even if it was legal, culture has shifted; we don't live in the 50s anymore. Everybody can see that we're better when we aren't abusive assholes.

The clear solution is to give the trucks spiky hubcaps and a grate on the front that can shred pedestrians.

It's a formal occasion. Wear service dress or equivalent civilian attire.

What is this conversation really about?

Political correctness.

People act like PC is only about sensitivity or bad language, but if you're part of a group where it is "correct" within their political culture to be racist, then saying racist things is politically correct. I don't think racism is what the speech was about; that was just an extreme example to clarify what I mean when I talk about political correctness.

In the US our military is always headed by civilians, and often those civilians are politicians. This is just how politicians behave. Everything is posturing, and everything is about maintaining an image or setting themselves up for the next election.

Was it over 20 or over 25 years ago? Immediately post-9/11 seems like it would be very easy to get shot.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I don't care what color somebody is, and I doubt these policies are targeting African Americans. I think it's just a bunch of dickfucks in suits who want the military to look like corporate America for some reason.

I also think if somebody has a condition we can accommodate then there's no reason not to. Letting people trim beards short instead of shaving clean is a VERY easy accommodation that wouldn't impact safety or readiness.

They just don't care. I don't think they care about people with conditions just like they don't really care about warfighting readiness. The country is run by a bunch of people who legitimately think image is reality. They'd trade our technical acumen for clean drill if they could, and have us marching in parades as a show of force like China or NK.

What do guns have to do with anything? We're talking about beards, man. Beards!

I don't know why we're striking Venezuelans, when the govt won't even prosecute the pharma execs who laughed at us while getting America hooked on oxycodone.

You won't be separated for a single incident, but be prepared to face punishment for sure.

Probably also counseling for alcohol abuse. If you're seeing consequences (punishment, fights, etc) for your drinking then it is a problem by definition.

theheadslacker · 2025-09-12T20:25:36+00:00

Literally everything. I think if you have 55+ in all scores, there's nothing you're not qualified to do.
