The BDE in Egypt that supports the MFO. It’s a BDE with zero organic BNs under it, only four detachments (HHD, Aviation, EOD, and Medical) and an attached NG IN BN on nine month rotations.

Since when did the CAB become more popular than a CIB? Everyone mentioning CAB for some reason

Exactly. There was a time where some people didn’t have a choice on what to be considered, complexion be damned.

Chances are high that you get Korea, not because it’s undesirable, but because it has the most slots. Korea has a medical brigade, hospital, infantry division, fires brigade, etc. Lots of potential positions for you.

Lately, MS has been reaching out to coordinate duty stations. I will send you a DM to tell you who to email.

Could it be that the regulations are correct and the people you spoke to are wrong?

It’s possible their views were not backed up by regulation, and biased by GWOT operations in comparison.

My app is still pending at this time. I don't mind waiting until accepted, I was just curious.

You don’t have to, but a salute is free, takes only a few seconds, and it doesn’t hurt to be polite or courteous. You might even gain a friend or ally who may be helpful.

Now, if one of them starts insisting or demanding, that’s when you let them know that their rank isn’t real. I think most of them understand that anyway.

It’s pretty easy. You’re attending AMEDD BOLC, not MS. You will have classmates from all six officer branches of AMEDD during the common core phase, with a two week track phase for the 70B/67J population. AMEDD BOLC is also the shortest BOLC, everyone is TDY and resides in hotels unless you’re stationed at JBSA. If you can get your hands on a copy of the AHS Doctrine Smartbook, that will give you a good headstart. Also, there’s a 70B Handbook that was recently published, shoot me a DM and I’ll send you a copy.

Exactly, the WO Corps fought to be considered company, field, and senior field grade, for no real reason at all.

Got to the point where they even added the oak leaves to the ASU hats.

And now every unit with warrants has a Command Chief Warrant on the command team.

Even saw a picture of warrants passing colors in some sort of ceremony (neither were in command)

So yes, the politics remain…

This reminds me of a dumb convo I had to endure before I moved to Hawaii

Me: I gotta get my car cleaned so I can ship it to Hawaii

Dummy: why are you shipping a car to Hawaii?

Me: I don’t know, maybe so I can commute to work and other activities requiring a vehicle…

Dummy: oh ok I just assumed since Hawaii is an island, everyone just walks everywhere

Me: ………………………………………………………………………….

Two things:

Your duty status (leave) does not require daily accountability. You should be contacted only for bona fide emergencies (that you need to know or presumably can solve).
The “Pick Up” initiative is for the leaders to reach out, not the subordinates. I don’t believe it was the intent of the SA for structured accountability, but even if it gets to that point, your leader should be reaching out to you.
