    Is Infantry a Waste of Time During Peacetime?

    The first time I saw someone drop with hypothermia was in July in Petawawa. The soldiers had just gone through some pretty gross swamps and this guy just dropped and did the funky chicken. Fun times. (Not)

    She shouldn't have to. Unit COs and Formation Commanders ought to do this already. (My Formation Commander already has, as an example).

    I'm not sure he was second-guessing anyone, to be honest. Agreed. That said, DJT is one to wear his heart on his sleeve. Yes, and this time around, of note is the subtle shift in the US: FLOTUS and her kids, etc, all wore designer stuff made specifically for the occasion.

    American Airlines crash at Reagan international 29 Jan 2025

    One point I failed to mention: UH 60s were designed to be difficult to see. :/

    It's not fun. See what I said above. Don't join the infantry, whatever you do.

    Go ahead and take a fat body as a leader and put your life in danger all you want. As for me being toxic, perhaps I am. Perhaps I'm not. Perhaps I clearly do not give a flying fuck what you think. At least one of those "perhaps" statements is true. You can decide for yourself. As for me, I...

    American Airlines crash at Reagan international 29 Jan 2025

    There is so much light pollution there, it would be easy to miss that UH 60 amongst the clutter of DC off to the jet's right. And during landing, I'm sure the pilot and crew are focused on plenty of things, and not checking left and right for possible collisions. And no, not all investigators...

    I can only speak for myself after seeing the video: that's exactly what I was thinking.

    Now everyone is an expert on what a President is supposed to be like. Guess what, POTUS 45/47 is unlike any other. And frankly, it's a breath of fresh air, especially after that last guy

    Saying shit like this makes me think you're one of the 75%.

    It's one way to verify that he's pushing and pulling levers. Unlike the last guy

    People vent shit out loud. "It was a clear night, why didn't 'x' happen?"

    I know for example that at the unit where I currently am posted, the CO mandates 1.5 hours daily for PT for military members.

    Reading comprehension is a job requirement that does not need daily refreshers. Being fit is a job requirement, although not really enforced, given that 3/4ths of us are fat pigs. Eat Less. Move more. Your life depends on it.

    No standards like no standards! With recent reports that 75% of us are overweight/obese, well, what can go wrong? More members for Meal Team 6, I suppose.

    Is Infantry a Waste of Time During Peacetime?

    Yes, it's a complete waste of time. Please do not join; I'm sure McDonalds is more up your alley.

    I feel sick to my stomach. I have flown into and out of DCA several times, most recently on Monday.
