First Sergeants have a lactation station now? I should have stayed in...
What happened to killing people and breaking things?

I never thought about it but I guess you could say I was pre-Power Point. I was old school, part of a long line of “overhead projector” warriors that had been fighting on every sea and continent since WWII.
Overhead projectors were introduced into U.S. military training during World War II. After the war they were used at schools like the U.S. Military Academy.[9] Overhead projectors were used early on for police work with a cellophane roll over a 9-inch stage, allowing facial characteristics to be rolled across the stage.[citation needed] As the demand for projectors grew, Buhl Industries was founded in 1953, and became the leading US contributor for several optical refinements for the overhead projector and its projection lens
Oorah!!! Get Some!!!
We are going to have to survive a (nother) war to end all wars, with the same good men and their families somehow managing to pull the survivors through it.
And all this breast and poozie business and the equality of all is going to be thrown into the mass graveyards along with most of all the wretchedness of culture we have seen take root in the past several years.
We are now the self-neutered and -blinded great nation of the world and we are heading for a mortal surprise.
This social engineering, politically correct bull crap is another example of Obama’s bleeding America to death with a thousand cuts.
Mad Dog Mattis was going to be the savior of the military. In fact he is the worst Sec Def since Macnamara maybe even worse since Mac did not change the core of the military. Mad Dog is a running bad, very bad joke to those of us who have retired and are watching on the sidelines. This military is full still of Obama Generals and Admirals who couldnt care less about country or fighting ability, only their own sorry butts and their own sorry careers. And still Trump thinks throwing money at the military will fix it.
The new test is a lot more equipment intensive. Each company is going to have to have deadweight, medicine balls, chin up bars 90 lb. Sleds and kettleballs. The current pt test is limited only by the number of available graders. The new test will be limited by the number of sets of equipment, which will of course, have to be stored and accounted for, and packed up if the unit is deploying for any length of time. Without a ridiculous amount of equipment meant to be used twice a year, it’s going to take two days to administer a PT test to a company sized unit.
Plus this is the same Army that was virtually forced to remove Communist Lieutenant who they let graduate from West Point and lead soldiers even though he was widely known as a communist in both places. Had he been a Muslim communist, he would still be on active duty.
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.
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.
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.
Looks like a great recipe for disaster.
Unspoken in all this hubbub:
Who’s paying for all this gym gear in National Guard & Army Reserve units? Or will they just test everyone at AT, never mind the other stuff they need to practice?
Bueller? Bueller?
