There's an update on the court docket. It appears he's entering a guilty plea again next week on 10/15 ahead of the scheduled panel trial scheduled to start on 10/19.

Soldiers at Fort Leonard Wood competed for the swim badge in September.

Key take aways

They used spent casings and foamies to track laps. While this was easier for a smaller group it has the potential for people to lose track of where they are at. Also having a 1 to 2 ratio would prevent honor violation attempts.

Coordination with pool staff ahead of time was great. For the CPR portion the CPR dummy on site was utilized, if they did not the alternative was request assistance from the FD.

Being able to choose the order of events allowed time for rest.

Communication beforehand: sharing of videos on CPR, tows, sculling, and extended arm roll ahead of time were appreciated.

More information on the swim badge can be found below:

Full quote: "We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that: No fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals. Just warriors. Just tough, ready, committed troops."

Takes a lot to get me to say stuff like this... But I'm tired boss.

Most of the best PSYOP Soldiers I ever served with were/are "fat". (I'd go so far as to say don't trust a thin PSYOP'er with a mission of any importance).

>Edited ot add: Because people are getting hung up on my use of "fat" and not understanding the difference between fat (morbidly obse and gets tired climbing a flight of stairs) and "fat" here goes. In this context these PSYOP soldiers (all but one) were absolutely crushing their APFT/ACFT/AFT. But were getting tapped. Of the one not crushing his APFT, he was a competitive strong man, who still passed the run, but was eventually given a bar to re-enlistment because he busted tape and had zero desire to impact his strongman/powerlifting performance for the army. One of the other dudes eventually got chaptered for failing tape, Samoan dude, maxed pushups and the two mile run, scored in the high 70's/low 80's on the situps. Spoke four languages (though his French was more Creole than European), there was a MSG at the schoolhouse, wrote most of the training material we still use today. Forced to retire for "being fat". Got rehired for a while as a contractor.

One of the best mechanics I ever saw is FtM.

I closed, engaged, and destroyed enemies of this nation while wearing a beard.

99% of the top 20% of MI are weirdos.

Two of the best cyber guys I know (both NG warrants) can barely do a pushup.

>Edited to add: Again because people are more focused on what I said that the quote from Sec. Hesgeth...Dudes have deadman profiles, ie so old, broken, battered, the army has said "yeah you're good". Both absolutely fucking brilliant when it comes to offensive cybersecurity operations. But sure, lets lose all their institutional knowledge, experience, and skill because they can't do push-ups. Both make a soul crushing amount of money in the private sector so, yeah, lose them, they aren't coming fucking back as a contractor.

I mean seriously, can we focus on competency? Please?

As we get closer to the middle of the market it had me wondering. Do you have any nightmare stories of someone being told they have a 1:1 just to find out they weren’t the number one pick? Sincerely, an overthinking market goer.

Im a new NCO and my Solider is going as a walk on for BLC tomorrow. She just told me shes worried about her waist. When we taped her in August, she passed with half an inch to spare. She mentioned her “time of the month” is causing bloating. Not too sure about that kind of stuff but she’s had no record of failing height/weight and waist/height before.

How strict are the SGLs when it comes to this? I don’t want to set her up for failure. She’s unsure if she should risk it and go or hold back until the next class.

Fort Stewart location.

I was accepted into IPAP and will be attending next year. Almost 10 years of service. This past week I commissioned. I’ve been so sad about the quagmire my civilian career took that I haven’t taken a moment to just be proud yet.

Do you guys have Coke Zero? Or just diet?

and is it even worth it to in this situation?
if so, how would i go about this? the only evidence i have exists in screenshots of our conversations and maybe in some recordings.
i am a civilian and married to a service member who sexually assaulted me (he named it this before i did) months ago and had done something adjacent months prior to that. i have not said anything about it for fear of retaliation and also of getting him in trouble because i do care for him deeply, and i feel like if anything actually happened to him he'd try to harm himself on account of things he's said. i'm 20 weeks pregnant and a lot has happened since that has made me feel deep regret about not speaking up and i'm in the long overdue process of trying to leave.
whenever he was in an "apologetic" mood he told me he was so guilty that he self-reported and his leadership didn't care whatsoever, so i am extra dissuaded by this too.

I’m a SPC, and my MOS is 91D, so definitely not a language MOS.

I speak Hindi and Urdu, and recently decided to take the DLPT for both. I ended up getting 3 in Listening and 2+ in Reading for both Hindi and Urdu.

I’ve been reading through AR 11-6 (9 May 2024), trying to figure out if I actually qualify. From what I understand, being in a non-language MOS doesn’t automatically disqualify you, it depends on how the language is categorized on the current GPF Army Strategic Language List.

Apparently, the current GPF ASLL is dated 27 February 2026, but I cannot find the actual list anywhere.

Does anyone have the current 2026 GPF ASLL or know if Hindi and/or Urdu are currently eligible for FLPB for an E-4 in a non-language MOS?

Just trying to figure out whether I should actually expect language pay or not.

Appreciate any info, especially from anyone who has recently gone through the FLPB process.
