Most of us who were in the military during a different era got called every name in the book, EVERYONE was made fun of. Got get rid of weaklings who can't handle a LITTLE stress like that. Can't handle that you can't handle REAL stuff, like getting shot at. Keep in mind, EVERYONE who is in the...

Yep, and that is only the tip of the iceberg. Our CIC and his numbgut appointees are implimenting all kinds of rules that insure that MORE of our military get KILLED than need be. These are VILE people we have in charge. Like having to "read a suspected bomber" their "Rights" or NOT be allowed...

In the "old days", before political correctness we USED to be able to "weed out" weaklings, cry babies and whiners in basic training. That was done by the DI's when they "got in peoples faces". Called them names, cussed at them, rode them HARD and put them away wet. If you can't handle that you...

Due to our system, which I agree with, those people who do have the rank and experience to deal with this correctly are TOLD what to do by those who have NO clue. Just the nature of the beast.

Things are not likely to be as they seem on the surface.

I knew a few who put their way through school, most I knew did not. You know, as well as I do, that you have to maintain your affairs while in the military. No one pays your bills, balances your check book etc. Many kids today EXPECT their parents to pay the freight for them. Even this...

I said those in charge today, not you. Not EVERYONE is as stupid about real life as Obama is. There are somethings that would be more difficult to understand without first hand experience but an INTELLIGENT person ASKS QUESTIONS before acting. I believe that YOU would ask IF you were ever in...

What's new? Lack of experience and context. I expect nothing less from those in charge today. They are really behind the eight ball when it come to REALITY!! Must be all the kool aid.

Will a kinder, gentler more sensitive work place make it easier to "break things and kill people"? I mean, after all, that IS the purpose of the military.

She did not pick a MOS in advance? That would be rather odd. Sounds like she has a recruiter that is not up on things. I have not known anyone in today's all volunteer service who does NOT enlist for a specific MOS. She will be treated according to her abilities AND her attitude. She needs to...

The biggest difference between college and the military is that military personal are ON THEIR OWN. They earn a paycheck, take care of their own bills, they are independent ADULTS. They support themselves. That is NOT the case for LARGE numbers of colleges students. Their parents PAY their...

The military is losing it's best commanders far too quickly. Our military is being run by a bunch of "social engineers" with ZERO experience or understanding of who and what they control. The military is not the place for "social experiments". That is NOT it's purpose. It is wrong to be...

What? I don't understand.

We have an idiot for CIC. He has NO idea in the world what he is doing. He has NO problem destroying our military capability.

You got that right. There is FAR more going on behind the scenes. Leaks can NEVER be trusted to give the entire picture.

They are who they are. Some people are just like that. You tried. You can do no more. No use beating your head on the wall over it. There is NO logic in that 12-14 hour limit. It shows a basic lack of understanding about this business.

I don't give "advice" or "tips" unless asked to. Far too many in this business (all others too) only want to hear what they agree with. Not being willing to sit more than 12-14 hours in this business is just silly. It just does not work that way. It would be nice if it did, but, reality is what...

I for one am more than happy to have FDCC safety keeping track of all the new regulations. There are many new and obscure regulations out there. Some make sense, others are just revenue producers. There is just no way for ONE driver to keep track of every regulation in every state. They are...

It very well could be a man-made problem. There has been studies done in France and England showing that cell phone towers mess up the honey bees homing systems. The cell phones frequency is similar to what bees us. People tend to focus on "climate change" or "global warming" instead of looking...

Things are not as simple as some wish to make it. It is easy to be a Monday morning quarter back. The lack of context makes it difficult to know what is really going on. So does a one sided view. No country, even the U.S., is perfect. Every country has "warts". ALL treaties should be looked at...
