  • WTF army?/ Help from anyone who has been in this situation?

    So, I S*&^ you not I got a 300 on my PT test today, and when we went to get weighed and taped I was over on my weight, I'm not bragging but I'm in REALLY good shape right now, on a REAL BMI test I have like 4% body fat but my neck is small so I busted tape. Now they have me on the overweight program and I have a 1st SG telling me I'm an out of shape soldier deying my weekend pass and sending me to a medic to make sure I don't have a "medical condition"

    What sense if any does this make and has this happened to any of you? Is there anything I can do? I've been PTing to go to SF selection but it looks like that'll have to wait.

  • Need help being wrongfully chaptered?

    Ok I've already asked this question, but I'm calmer now, so I can be more clear. I'm currently an AIT holdover, I tried to go EOD (big mistake as an IET soldier since he failure rate is now 85% seriously I failed for handwriting) Anyway, I have to have a record PT test for my reclass, but my company has lost several passing results and kept failures and now my PSG/acting XO is telling me I'm going to be chaprered despite passing several tests and being forced to do heavy lifting and full pt the day before taking my failed tests.

    I gave up everything in my life, a long term relationship, a job, school, frends, my relaionship with some family members to jon the army and now I'm being screwed out of the military, I need advice help anything.

  • What's life like in AIT? US Army?

    I have an MOS with a long AIT, in general, since I know this will vary depending on command and location, what's life like for a soldier in AIT? What liberties and restrictions are there? Does AIT count towards time in grade for promotion? Any tips would be welcome.

  • Switching MOS in DEP?

    I had signed up for EOD, but some family members don't want me to take it. If I did switch I'd want to switch to 35M Human intelligence collector (I scored a 98 on the ASVAB so I'm good on test scores for literally anything). If I do switch how hard is 35M to get and how long do you think I'd have to wait? my ship date is pretty soon (I know I can't post the exact date because of security)

  • Old George Froeman vs Heavyweight Roy Jones 12 rounds?

    Can Roy prove he's Superman even at heavyweight? Or is George big enough to make Captain Hook look like a Jr meal?

    Bonus #2 Does the result differ over 15?

  • Why do right wingers have to oppose everything the left says and vice versa?

    I notice it more from the right since I'm on the left but still, I notice that if a left winger says CO2 is bad for you, the right will say it's fine. Most recently in the Trayvon Martin shooting the right, most notably Glenn Beck's the Blaze comes out and desperately tries to justify the unjustifiable simply because they see the left as being on one side so they line up on the other.

    Why opposition for opposition's sake?

  • How did we go from Nixon to Santorum?

    Seriously, Tricky Dick wasn't the greatest President ever, but he was good enough, despite being considered a far right winger at the time, he had ideas, he embraced intellectuals like Kissinger and was dedicated to realpolitik (Google it) now we have Rick Santorum who spurns facts and (climate change, benefits of contraception etc) and blames gays and fictitious satanists for out problems.

    How did this happen to the GOP?
