Agreed, despite the vocal minority naysayers in unprecedented times the steps taken despite it's faults were largely ok. Not great but I am ok with over protection vs none

I get what you are saying and many of those parts never should have shifted from being NSNs. I don't know what happened with the conversion or why it did what it did. We were just as caught off guard from a 3rd line material management perspective as it is the same concern for us in wanting to...

There is something to be said about resourcing our maintenance assets properly. Much of the manning still looks as if we were trying to fix 1960s to '80s vehicles which had the total of like 10 parts and were relatively easy to fix. I don't know if it's still holds true but in recent years out...

Every L1 was GTG with MI, the concept and the way forward, but I get the sense taking to my EMT friends that they were not very well informed. It did lots of good things cleaning our junk pile of 5 million records and putting some rigor when it came to MMR creation that didn't exist before as...

PD is manual period, you can set all the min/max you want but if the material is set on PD in the material master record (MMR) for a MRP/plant then they don't come into effect. You have change the MRP profile setting (usually to ZSZ1 but there are lots of profiles) on the MMR at the MRP or...

We will use AI in 2123 when our robot overlords make us.

Having no min/max set doesn't mean we don't hold stock for any particular item. It just means that automatic system replenishment won't occur if stock is drawn down to zero at a particular location. That system setting is known as planned demand (PD) which means as needed, stock will be ordered...

We don't use a Just In Time delivery model, that would imply a level of sophistication we don't have. We leverage the same model we always have, with parts at each level with scaling. Generally though scaling is ad hoc, locally managed, doesn't follow any recognized model and largely useless.

Just a word of caution about using the G4 Maint VOR Stats from that JCSP paper or any other domestic report on VOR should be taken with a grain of salt. 1) It is a snapshot in time and more importantly 2)domestically there are a ton of reasons why a vehicle is VOR'd where it would just be...

Still there.

Got an email telling me about the breach and a link to 12 months of credit monitoring by Equifax. Was watching credit report anyway through bank as I recently used BGRS for a move. Only took 2+ months for an official comms to individuals :)

Yea I just looked and it seems like you need MOP server access. Good thing is it is easy to get as you already have BI access. FWIW I just logged into DRMIS Production MEP server 300 via SAP Office with no issues but there are no queries.

There are a few things that could be the issue. Are you at work or home? If at home make sure you open Excel inside the Secure Global Desktop. If at work make sure you are using the right server # for the system you want to pull. This problem may exist regardless of home/work as you may not...

It is not a fast process to set-up and I don't have all the answers as some of the stuff has changed since I last did it but you should be able to use SAP Analysis For Microsoft Windows and you should be able to connect to the VOR Tactical Report and have it refresh. The below link will show...

You are free to believe what you wish from any source. It is at the end of the day an anecdotal story and no one here nor likely does your buddy have the full story of what happened and was done afterwards. Reality in these cases is often vastly different than the Unit/BattleGroup/NSE (or...

While I have no doubt there are issues and always will be, the fact we have gone down an army.ca rabbithole based on anecdotes from a friend of a friend is hilarious. We have no idea what actually happened, how it was investigated but here we are trying to drown people to prove they are witches...

There are a few options. One is that you repeat the school year on leave without pay at your own expense. Another is you compulsory occupational transfer and change from officer to NCM. The third and it's generally because the member doesn't want to do COT and/or change to NCM is release...

Exactly, all I think of when folks boomer about this change is this meme

Everyone has their own "we are special, just ask us" 3rd Battalions

It is a bit silly as at that rank band minus a few very specific positions most folks are generalists and already in either the Fin or Log streams by virtue of their career streams. There is not a lot of bleed over in those worlds, Fin stays Fin and Log stays Log. The same logic would apply for...
