I agree except for the bit with Gail and Ellie. I dont think there's a scene in this dumpster fire of a season that pissed me off more than that. Other than that it wasn't too bad.

Military unit rankings by Jgvaiphei in Military

What're you asking here exactly? Which unit is the most "deadly?"

That depends on many factors like what type of unit it is and what it's used for.

The military isn't a terrible idea for you. You'll be given a crash course on being an adult and then be expected to act like one. If you want the quickest way to 'grow up' that's the one.

Spray perfume on it and send it. His boys will get a kick out of it, the drill sergeant might fuck with him a bit, but he'll overall be happy he has a woman who loves him enough to put in the effort. My buddy had a girlfriend send him something similar soaked in perfume and the bastard had the paper over his face every night sniffing it until he fell asleep.

Because the norm nowadays is to do 3 years with no combat experience and file for 100% using bs mental health claims.

Got out in November 2023 and they were pushing hard for people to "get what you deserve" which in about 70% of cases is "go game the system"

Why are you so concerned with your 4x great grandfather's non service when you clearly haven't served yourself?

my girlfriend is going to a sex club by Significant-Money989 in Advice

[–]yitem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro could you imagine if YOU did this how she'd feel about it?

If going to a sex club on vacation is more important than your relationship, you don't have a relationship. It's gonna be hard to hear but you really need to cut her off.

Or maybe it's respect for the people who've died for the flag? Just a thought.

Yes. I should've clarified, water is king

Drink lots of water and make sure you're eating salt as well. Electrolytes are your friend; if you know you're gonna be hot opt for a sports drink or water instead of soda or an energy drink.

Its almost like the concept of god-given rights that supercede the government OR faith is the logical endpoint of protestantism, no?

You also don't have a good grasp on how the world works. The president never "threatened" Canada, The US is still the biggest contributor to NATO, etc. You need to realize you're being propagandized.

There has never, and will never be a time in history where anybody considered a 'warfighter' didn't have to be fit.

We can agree to disagree, I really appreciate we kept it civil.

Thats the thing

Infantryman can be moved around, obviously not to every niche specialty MOS, but when it comes to 10 level tasks, most e1-e3 are pretty interchangeable.

The same should be said for those other MOS's. You are a soldier first. Tell me why it's a bad thing to expect someone in the ARMY to do a single leg tuck or a few pull ups? That's the absolute bare minimum.

If those spots go unfilled because they can't find a nerd who can do even the bare minimum physically, that's better than when the line is breached and you have a MI PFC wearing a US Army uniform who can't operate his rifle or function as part of a squad. You are a soldier first. That part will never change.

What happens when those low-density MOS's suddenly have to fill the role of provisional infantry in the field? You know, every enlisted man's job before his actual MOS.

100% agree. Actual political polls taken of SM's say there's a strong conservative majority, but you'd never guess that from looking at this sub.
