Had a friend tell me my battle buddy was telling people out SL groped her. I 100% don't buy this for a second because she has bragged about false sharping people twice and still talks to said people while trying to act all cute with NCOs ontop saying he texts her yet she directly tects him if she cant come to formation and he never responds to anything else , she has disgusting behavior that deserves its own santas christmas list.

I can 100% guarantee this because she never spends time alone with out SL nor has she ever attended our Squad events/outtings and for the past 2 weeks she has been under my supervision due to a delegated task and this past month

Anyways i didn't really think this through and acted more on morale than anything else since he's the best SL i have and even fought to remove a counseling i shouldn't have gotten.
Anxious? Mayhaps just wanted to write this to release some thoughts

I joined the Army with a goal in mind. I wanted to go to medical school, I wanted to be an Army doc, and I wanted the Army to pay for it.

I was 25, couldn't afford school, and wanted to make sure my family was taken care of. Were there other ways to make the dream happen? Yes, but this one was best for me.

10 years enlisted, some fun times at NTC and JRTC, and lots of friends and shenanigans along the way.

Today I got my medical waivers approved for USUHS. I received my acceptance last week and this was the only thing left. I wasn't sure it would happen as I had a back surgery earlier this year, but it did. I have some other interview invites to civilian schools, but USU was always the dream.

In March, I will officially transition from Sergeant to Ma'am. And hopefully in 2031, Dr. Ma'am.

So this is your reminder to get plugging away at that degree and put in that packet. The Army will get something out of you, so make sure you get something out of it. And if you have a Soldier with a big dream, support them. I didn't get here just because I was dedicated, I got here because I had leaders and NCOs who supported me and helped me get here.

I'll take the largest Dr. Pepper zero I can get and some chicken nuggies.

Crazy

Why did you walk away and not go for the 20 being so close relatively

Its that time of year again.

My NCOs are at it again. Does the short sleeve pt shirt have to be worn under the long sleeve pt shirt?

Ill take a Gatorade because I'm dehydrated from multiple layers.

So I know why people join the Marines, it’s mostly the marketing. They’ve done a great job advertising themselves as an elite force. So for those of you who joined the Army why the Army specifically?

Is there a specific way a unit patch should be sewn onto the ach cover? I’m currently DIY-ing my ach cover and I’m trying to figure out if there’s a specific spot, like so many inches from the ear cover or something, where I’m supposed to sew it on?

I made a very artist rendition of where I generally see unit patches on an ach.

Did all the uniform changes that were floated around last month that were supposed to get dropped during AUSA get deleted? Is there a new expected drop date?

The only way people know I’m better than them is when I tell them rather than when they see my branch on my collar.

Are we supposed to use jazz hands when saying "super intelligence" instead of AI?

Asking for all of my friends in this current government.

Just kidding!!!

3CR sucks. Thats all I have to say, thank you for coming to my TED talk

Genuinely though what are the best units you all have been to?

Can I get a bacon egg and cheese pls

My husbands leadership told him he was going to Saturday school as a punishment, we haven’t really heard of this aside from being told when in-processing/leadership threatening it. We tried looking online but didn’t find any information, and he wasn’t counseled either.

So I’m looking to change my MOS and I’m digging through AR 670-1 and PAM 670-1. Both of them talk about the Regimental Distinctive Insignia (RDI) and Distinctive Unit Insignia (DUI) that you’re allowed to wear on your uniform. The RDI is dependent on your branch/MOS/etc and you only wear it when you are serving as that MOS, but the DUI is tied to the unit itself.

AR 670-1, 21-24a, states: “Insignia used to represent regimental affiliation consists of either the RDI or DUI of a design approved by TIOH. A Soldier’s regimental affiliation using an RDI is based on a Soldier’s branch/corps/special branch, as determined by PMOS or specialty. Soldiers may wear the RDI for their affiliated regiment or may wear the DUI for a unit in which they are serving or have previously served successfully, based on their assignment history as indicated in their official personnel record.”

PAM 670-1, 21-24a states: “AR 670–1 authorizes insignia used to represent regimental affiliation to consist of either the RDI or DUI. A Soldier’s regimental affiliation using an RDI is based on a Soldier’s branch, corps, or special branch as determined by PMOS or specialty. A Soldier’s regimental affiliation using a DUI is based on a unit in which the Soldier is serving or previously successfully served. Soldiers may wear the RDI for their affiliated regiment or may wear the DUI for a unit in which they are serving or have previously successfully served based off their assignment history as indicated in their personnel record.”

If someone changes their MOS and stays in the same unit, they would wear the same DUI (but not RDI.) If they change MOS, transfer to a different unit under the same branch, they could wear the old DUI or the RDI. If they change MOS and transfer to a completely different unit, they might still be able to wear the DUI because they have a record of deploying with that unit, even if they no longer are currently affiliated with the regiment.

It sounds like if someone deploys with the 1-23 Awesome Sausages then changes MOS and transfers to the 7-89 Turd Muffins, they could still wear the prestigious 1-23’s DUI on their uniform?

Question for the field grade masses, particularly those who have sat on the other side of promotion boards. For officers that have fewer ratings, does that affect the boards decision?

For example, a CPT has been heavy on the school side and only has 4x OERs when they get their first look for MAJ. Do you factor in the AERs when assessing potential or are you going solely off the OERs? I assume SOF, JAG, and other specialized careers go through this but I’m curious.

For context, a peer of mine is seeking a specialized career but, due to decisions they’ve already made, my argument is it would put them at risk for promotion.

Large coke, no ice.

I’m not asking for day to day or nothing, but if you were doing 35Nish things which place has better training and more importantly, more job satisfaction?

My NCOER is due and was notified that it’s ready to be signed. While I was reviewing all the information and rater’s comments, I had my NCOER from last year opened. That’s when I realized that my current rater literally copied and pasted my last year’s eval (whom was a different rater) into this year. It’s a near 1 to 1 replica. It’s not a bad eval but it’s not accurate reflecting this past year while containing old info. For example it mentioned humanitarian efforts I did back in OCT 2024.

I brought it up to his attention but he assured me that it is fine, and even specifically said: “That is fine, information there is an average of the year effort.”

This doesn’t seem right but in my opinion I think he’s being lazy because I’m not in that unit anymore since I got promoted out recently. Also, the rater is my old platoon sergeant who’s also getting out soon. I’m looking into the regs to verify, but meanwhile, what are y’all’s thoughts?
