@ForcePao I had a lot of exposure to Lloyd Austin in 3ID. Served in the Division Main CP during OIF1. We could not have had a better pick for SecDef. The contrast between him and Hegseth is STARK.

@Asst_to_the_RM Hey, the back three were completely exposed last night. On their heels and leaving unmarked players entering the box. Tim Ream looked tiny and slow. Deep crosses from the corner left no possibility for offside traps. It was a shitshow.

@BradDuplessis Lost 20-some pounds at a time I didn’t have much body fat to speak of. Ate two boxes of Tastycakes from a care package. Parents still have the letter I sent them on MRE cardboard. It might have been a bit unhinged.

@SNAFU_Sara Can say the same thing in corporate America.

@rArmyReddit They have to pay for the redeployment of 5000 soldiers from Germany somehow. 😏

@ndkirschmann They misquoted. This was actually derived from government travel card data.

@rArmyReddit Moar lethality. Less sweater vest guy.

@rickdicksonreal As a guy who was signal branch detailed infantry, I was … obliged to attend Ranger School. Just like I was obliged to be detailed to the branch at the bottom of my list. Outside of Infantry or Ranger units, there is little opportunity or desire for units to send folks there.

@BradDuplessis Practical exercise: engineer the spirit (or spirt) of victory as a Russian warrant in UKR.

@SGTWipper1Each E-tool and rarely used two quart canteen.

@Asst_to_the_RM @travisakers NJ is feeling super cheap at 4.15-4.20

[Sam Easterling @sameasterling78]

@ndkirschmann @BradDuplessis Better yet, we should know more about the people whose relationships matter. And far less about those who don’t.

@BIGDOG31 @TheBuddyCSM That was my thought. This isn’t AI generated, it’s someone living the Airsoft lifestyle.

@Asst_to_the_RM @infantrydort The funny thing is: this is a problem endemic to human organizational culture throughout history. It’s not a problem that is going to be solved. Leadership roles and leadership qualities share very little space in the Venn Diagram of life.

@ndkirschmann I could get behind 9pm dinners, to boot.

@Asst_to_the_RM I can visualize a padded room in HQDA G3/5/7 where half the section is shredding all the plotter sized patch charts for the next three years, and the other half is making room for the incoming pallets of Rip Its and coffee.
