Don’t know nor can speak on current environment.
But he’s the best GO Ive ever worked for. Treated us all like humans instead of rowers for the ship.
You might have read about Lt. Gen. Sylvia's firing, but you haven't read it in @streiffredstate's words, which should be framed in a museum.
Sylvia, an engineer officer, was given command of the 2d Brigade Combat Team in the 101st Airborne, though there was no shortage of qualified infantry colonels available... why?

The SECWAR memo says if going into DIB 180 days is authorized, not the 60 in Army reg.
Talked to a peer today. He told me his CG doesn’t like seniors retiring to do CSPs bc they are networked enough that they don’t need to do a CSP or help getting a job. If they try to do one it should overlap w/ their terminal leave as much as possible.

Want to solve the “E8 sitting around and not being 1SG” problem?
Mirror the USMC. Some people do not want or need to be 1SG but are value added in operations with their expertise.
Let’s modify Army NCO career paths to allow for selection of Command vs Operations starting with SSG Evaluation board.

Glad this finally happened. Officers underutilized this.
@sma, has there been talks or thought put into treating these like Officer Brevet promotions so the ‘appointment’ would come with the pay while in position also?

If we quit changing standards NCOs would have an easier time enforcing. Fairly basic philosophy. Make standard, let it cook for a few years before changing.
Uniforms, grooming, fitness tests. At some point “innovation” creates unenforceable chaos.

Meanwhile, I’ve got BNs crying about how many sim hours I am asking their vehicle crews to conduct.
Reps and sets will win the next war. You skip them you lose.

Lmao the clunky half sentences in here mean this was absolutely AI’d
BREAKING: Gen. Christopher LaNeve has released the strategic direction for the U.S. Army.
See the full letter at army.mil/article/294744
ALT A graphic with an olive green background featuring the official Department of the Army seal centered at the top. Below the seal, large white text reads, \"VCSA RELEASES STRATEGIC DIRECTION FOR U.S. ARMY.\" In the bottom left corner is the yellow and white U.S. Army star logo.
One of the best I have ever had the pleasure to work for. Check on your squad: seniors, peers, and subordinates. Never know when they need it.

The problem lies with the “acceptable zone” 300-800 or something. Hormones and nutrients should be optimized for Warfighters not just “normal”.
We could also take a hard look at dining facilities and the bullshit packaged and processed foods.
Hegseth now orders testing testosterone levels in troops to keep their lethality capabilities at high levels. Can some medical experts please weigh in on validity of this?

In the absence of money to train, just change a standard…..again.

Congrats to the Irish for winning Sullivan Cup! Learned the platform to compete. Our Commanders use new crews as an excuse to suck. Be like them.

We should collect interest on missed paychecks. Do your damn job and work together to pass an actual budget not a CR. Your inaction is crippling to some military families.
