It was required when I enrolled in 2008. Not sure about now.

I finished up Summer of last year. I agree with ThreeHoler, my writings were much better post binge. The few operators that were in the classes with me, I happened to know from one time or another. The program was a lot of ass pain but I actually learned 1 or 2 things and my formal writing skills improved. Unfortunately, I get to use them on occassion.

The only time I know of for sure-the FCG requires it for Personnel clearance into most countries.

Busted!

Shack!

Who are these tools? Anyone got names or home bases?

The Washington Nationals are going to wear SEAL baseball hats tonight in their game against the Cincinnati Reds to honor the fallen.

What are they doing in Ktown?

I hope no one is surprised

I was thinking the same thing

How much "un-interrupted conversation" can you have in a .3 and .2 sortie?

The Marines Security Detachment at the Embassy where I used to work definitely policed themselves. They were true professionals and the AF NCO corps should emulate them.

I work at state hq and have heard nothing about a hiring freeze.

Almost every honkeytonk bar on Broadway in Nashville sells PBR. Every time I go down there, I have to have at least one.

I don't have the reg in front of me, but I believe that is true. I was PV'd into Major under this example, so to me, that makes it possible. That has been over 4 yrs ago, so I am not sure if anything has changed. IRT to the AGR promotions, it is regulated by the "Control Grade" issue as previously mentioned. A good thing to remember is that you are not automatically added to the "control grade list", you have to make sure that HRO puts you on it. I do not believe they will do it unless you (or your supervisor/commander) ask them to do it and it has to be requested via e-mail or memo. I am lucky enough to be in an O-5 position and on the control grade list-I believe I am #1 on the list for O-5 promotion when I become eligible later this year. Doesn't mean I will automatically get promoted, but will be promotion-eligible and that all of the wickets that I can control have been accomplished.

What was the end result? Did the 123rd hire you?

My unit did the same thing to one of our guys while in the desert in '03. Nearly same results and the guys still laugh their asses off when it gets brought up again.

I talked to the Mob Readiness office here and they said it is true, but taken out of context. Nobody has a 4 month spin-up anymore. A BCT may be 60 days, but the overall system is now down to 45 days. They now have a 12 month mob timeline-which includes pre-mob training and the "BOG" time in theater. So they are only gone from their families for 12 months. They are restricted to base, but it is due to the "bad apples" that were mentioned earlier. Not sure about the family being allowed on base to see the soldier.

That is just craziness! I work in a Joint Forces Headquarters that is mainly ARNG and I can't wait to hear what my counterparts have to say about this one.

My Vermont skiing trip was the worst one I have ever taken. I vowed to never ski there again, and I haven't. I have loved skiing Utah every time I have been out there.

Yeah, looks like he was never taught how to wear a beret or blouse his boots. Hard to tell, but it doesn't look like he has the standard CCT badges.
