WTF? (**NSFW**)

One of the most holy days of the Christian religion and this admin does this. Isn’t Biden supposed to be a “devout” Catholic? These guys are doing their damnedest to ruin this country.

Sure, Joe Biden the 80+ geriatric is a giant transgender supporter 🙂 They are just pandering to a non-existent base.

Soon available at your local Class VI...



Here's some useless trivia for everyone!  The Class VI store is called that as the Army divides supplies into classes. Ammunition, for example, is Class V.  Liquor is one of the personal items covered by Class VI!

I could have used a few of those in my days as a boom.   Nothing says AMC like drinking vodka from plastic milk jugs.

So many questions.

Such as: How have we not thought of this before?!  Who else is going to educate and train the Martians in guerilla warfare against the occupying Chinese?

It is damn impressive that he is both a tabbed ranger and sapper. It also looks like he has air assault and jump wings. While I am all for expanding the breadth of knowledge...all of this seems excessive for a Space Force ADO assigned to a TES.

Dude should have just joined the Army.

Would this be considered a “HERO SHOT” In The Space Force?

I saw this on the local news and they mentioned that the father was a former airman stationed in Italy.

I thought some Army space units were subsumed into the USSF.  Probably one of those folks.

Nope. USAFA dude. While I find Ranger school weird for him, too, he had a helluva resume even before Ranger school (except for the UPT quit/washout part).

What good does it do for the AF to send a space dude to not one, but two significant Army schools?  And why would the Army accept them in that school?  Makes no sense to me.

Optics. The USSF is trying hard to establish a cultural identity. The press on, "the first" nearly anything in the military is what really excites the ambitious. Influence from high enough in the food chain can get anybody into a training program. 

No spear at the particular individual in this case, well earned and timing was in his favor.

Ranger school is a leadership school and that’s why every Army MOS can attend. It’s why every member of the 75th Ranger Regiment had to attend Ranger school in addition to passing their assessment (RASP or RIP depending on when). I was pretty surprised to learn you can’t be a cook in the 75th without passing both.
 

They also have spots every class for other service members that often go unfilled. The Air Assault one and Sapper is more interesting to me. I’m sure it was sold as leadership development or some such, but it seems a bit odd. Good on him though!

They will assess people into Ranger Bn (enlisted guys out of AIT for example) who haven’t done Ranger School, but have past RASP. It’s a kind of checks in the mail requirement as they only have so much capacity in the pipeline.

They get treated like Ranger privates regardless of rank though until they get their tab, and failure to get it is grounds for putting them back in the regular Army.

Outside people trying to get into a Ranger Battalion it’s usually a highly competitive process to get whatever brigade/division slot(s). We called it the Hunger Games when we were offered the opportunity to send 1x Lt/Cpts to it from the Aviation Brigade.

Whatever this dude did to get his leadership to fight for those school slots, he is more than likely ridiculously hard charging amongst his peers.

Yeah, that was another surprising thing with how many Rangers (75th guys) had a hell of a time getting through Ranger school. It’s no joke.

Frankly, I'm glad to see it.  The USAF and USSF need to think joint from day one. Attending other service tactical and leadership schools is a great way to ingrain that joint understanding.  Hell, I wish we sent a good slice of USAF JAIs and all AMLOs to Pathfinder, even if they fail out.
