Wow! The current number of U.S. military personnel is at the level we were in before WWII. That would mean: We suck! Recruitment has been a failure for the past two years. Folks are fat, out of shape, not very smart, drug users and criminal records. https://www.foxnews.com/video/6346754558112...

Got to love Popp, looking out for the lower enlisted females in Iraq who had no real leadership. . Captain: "Who the fuck are you?" . Popp: "I'm the guy who is going to write the IG complaint that is going to end people's fucking career, that's who I fucking am. Get the shit fucking fixed!"...

Maybe so. The way I'm reading this is that cadets and midshipmen outrank enlisted - on paper. It does not say anything about salutes or giving orders. Cadets are not soldiers and midshipmen are not sailors, both are in school. Either way, it is all bullshit until one gets a commission in the...

...but do they (Navy Enlisted) outrank the midshipmen? I don't think so. "If said midshipman (or cadet) is enrolled in one of the several U.S. federal service academies or one of the several advanced senior ROTC programs, they officially 'outrank' all enlisted personnel. Per Army Regulation...

No, I believe the same goes for midshitmen, :eek: I mean midshipmen. Army Regulation 600–20 (Army Command Policy). The U.S. Navy has a similar policy. Sure as shit did not get saluted in OCS. Officer Candidates got 'roasted' by the NCO cadre. Two were prior RIs - very professional. Plus, we were...

...U.S. Army. Not the Army of 36 years ago. https://apnews.com/article/west-point-motto-mission-statement-duty-honor-27ab60e2ddbe165c885eead3324ea188 * On a side note, West Point cadets outrank Army NCOs. I don't know who came up with this stupid regulation (and there is one) since cadets are...

That does not mean they will all go into a Ranger or Special Forces unit. The 75th Ranger Regiment has an atrocious up-tempo in peacetime training. They used to train in Alaska during the winter for winter warfare and Panama for summer warfare during the summer (jungle). It takes a toll on the...

@My Spot Here is one for you: https://www.dvidshub.net/news/320693/faith-go-distance-10th-group-chaplains-reflect-ranger-school#:~:text=Approximately%201%2C600%20chaplains%20serve%20in,to%20wear%20the%20Ranger%20tab. "Approximately 1,600 chaplains serve in the United States Army. Of those, only...

He can always join the French Foreign Legion.

A lot of things have changed in 35 years. Here is what I found: "The 75th Ranger Regiment is the only unit in the U.S. Army that requires their members to graduate Ranger school -- exceptions given for staff positions (i.e. non-combat leadership positions). Ranger school is not a pre-requisite...

Yeah, good luck finding Chaplains willing to go through RASP and Ranger school. Let alone graduate.

Yes, I know, but anything other than 11X series will only be found at Battalion level or higher. I don't think Jag, Finance, Public Affairs, Chaplains, Veterinarians, and Psychologists are Ranger qualified. That was not a requirement. Chaplains had an almost impossible task in getting a Ranger...

<{dayum}> He is going to find that 'fulfilment' in the Marine Corps? How did he come to that conclusion? The 75th Regiment would never take a Quartermaster Captain into its ranks. He would have to be 11 series with at least 2 years Active Duty in the Infantry. If he went with the 82nd, 101st...

So, how old will this guy be when he makes it to 2nd Lieutenant? I'm betting he will be a 'washout' during Marine OCS. He could be an Infantry officer in the Army. Switch MOS. Go through the Infantry Advanced Course and Ranger school. He would skip Platoon Leader time and most likely Company...

Damn! There is 'stupid' and then there is 'really stupid.' From Army Logistics to Marine Infantry? WTF is this guy thinking? Should have put in an Army packet to go to the 82nd, Ranger Regiment, or Special Forces. I'm sure the Marines are going to love him. When he realizes the mistake he has...

Mastercard. Priceless!

The weight of the dummy M-16 (A1) was roughly 7 pounds. All black - hardened plastic. It was the replica with the 20-round magazine. This is what was used on the Combat Water Survival Test.

Yeah! The guy had balls. A crazy stupid move, but he got away with it. SF TAC NCOs are a different breed than Ranger RIs. I think more professional and mature. As is the Q Course. RIs would have 'smoked' Loomis for doing that shit and talking back that way. I don't think the guy would have...

Here is a good one about the time he went through the Q Course for Special Forces. Again, this has now all changed since the mid-1990s. For Ranger school, I was amazed at how unprofessional the whole thing really was. After all, this was the U.S. Army doing their training for elite soldiers. A...
