About the only way I can think of to do this anywhere near efficiently is for larger installations to have a PT test station where you have maybe 15-20 or more sets of equipment and NCOs on special duty as graders. Units would have to coordinate and schedule like they do for ranges or training areas. Like you said, it becomes problematic for individual soldiers who want to train to standard on their own time or an NCO that wants to work with one of his soldiers to help them with an event they are struggling with.
As a side...
How’s Hassan’s career,of Ft. HOOD?
I agree...tbis is going to be resource intensive. How many sets of equipment is a company or battalion get? That’s a lot of Crap to deploy with that takes up space that could be filled with other warfighting equipment and materials.
Well, it looks like the Army is definitely screwed. I start in the Army in 1970 (DRAFTED) I got out in 1992, because of the Dumb idiot Clinton. I thought that the lowest level would be during Clinton, but I guess I was wrong. With this the Army is going downhill all the way, unless they fight it and stop this travesty now.
,,,Mortal Surprise.
I’m trying to get my head around that.
There were very god reason s for the founders to have insisted on someone who could only be an American and nothing else.
A natural born citizen is naturally a citizen because they can’t be anything else.
Born here of citizen parents.
And even after the example of the Kenyanesian Usurpation staring them in the face, we still have people who want Anwar Al-Awlaki’s kids to be eligible.
Born to one American citizen parent in a foreign country.
Just like Ted Cruz.
Great Video!
Didn’t they promote Hassan after he shot up Fort Hood?
How can you say that when you don't even know the minimum standards?
The President is the Commander in Chief, not the congress and the Sec Def is his point man for the military. Trump could issue an executive order tomorrow to separate women from combat arms and likely would do so if wet sponge Mattis would recommend it. Trump should have fired every three and four star officer on his first day in office and brought back all the Generals and Admirals purged by Obama. But he hasnt drained the swamp in DC nor the Pentagon and the swamp is doing all it can to destroy him.
Good question, still no trial. Still no trial date that I know of.
Maybe there ARE no minimum standards. Just a sliding scale.
No, he was already a Major, socially promoted in spite of his radical presentations and papers that stunned his classmates and brought numerous complaints to deaf ears in the chain of command.
He practically told them he was the enemy and they refused to listen.
My Son is an Infantry Captain - discipline is the major problem in the “Modern Army” Awol soldiers barely get a slap on the wrist. My Son spends most of his time dealing with discipline issues. Senior Officers don’t support the Company Commanders and the enlisted know it.
They didnt listen because they knew he would scream Muslim discrimination and win. Even the powers in charge back in those days gave terrorists the benefit of the doubt.
Looking into this I found Mr. Robert Mueller’s comments on MAJ Hasan, the FBI did not drop the ball. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/08/nidal-hasan-anwar-awlaki-emails-fbi-fort-hood/
The most recent MAJ Hasan news (2017), he is one of 6 at Fort Leavenworth on death row, no news on how this hunger strike went. https://www.armytimes.com/2017/04/04/fort-hood-shooter-goes-on-hunger-strike/
When women are no longer civilians or noncombatants, then destroying a city can be justified simply because all people are potential combatants. Nuclear War is now only seconds before mi.
Standards across all services are being edited and lowered. Following the “o’joke’s” purge of Patriot America loving military officers, I believe the intended result was to significantly alter the make-up of the US Defense Forces, military and otherwise.
We can speculate on the why. However, the constant attacks upon President Trump, our Military, our patriots and fellow non uniformed conservative minded individuals leads me to think, something far uglier. The elite, uni-party, and never Trumper’s are a serious threat. Coupled with outside influences, the Country we know requires our attention.
The socialists and communists seek the prize of America and the fall of our United States. With our uniformed military now injected with the Social Warrior and Social experiments, America’s enemies calculate “our military” is far less likely to support the Constitution and even more unlikely to stand against a domestic invasion.
All these enemies...We must stay vigilant and ready!
God Bless and be well.
