Please do. There are ALOT of 2nd and 3rd order benefits if an injury or incident has an accompanying PH confirming it as combat related essentially.

I really wish someone had told me to take more pictures with the boys

I cannot begin to overstate how important logging into the Army CAR is and printing off the TE&O’s for every task. It is a no-bullshit grading rubric for everything you do for any METL task. I wish I had known about it WAY earlier in my career.

Unless that mall is off of exit 7 in Columbus. Then you should probably still wear your IOTV.

Highly accurate and one of the primary reasons I reclassed.

Run far, and run fast. That bike would need to be well under $9K for me to even consider it, there’s no telling the paperwork hassle you could face with that

My maint. Platoon sounded off with “we screw, we nut, we bolt.”

I rode at one motocross track and without crashing felt worse than several crashes I’ve had on road track.

My trackday packing used to consist of beer and PB&J’s. Now it’s water, ibuprofen and a foam roller. And I still have to stretch before the session starts.

Came here to say exactly this. Its alot easier to be fast when you aren’t worried about making it to work on Monday or medical bills lol

Hard to het in trouble when you’re budgeting for tires/fuel/parts/ and trackdays.

I’ve PCS’d please remove me from all distro’s

Eh, you’d be surprised. I got some chinese carbon frame and swingarm covers thinking it would just be ABS with carbon wrap but it was the real deal.

You sound like a man that also struggled with the middle tab on the side fairings

Same

I’m in a bunch of car groups so I legitimately thought thats what this was, to the point where I was like “why tf is the picture blurred?”

Thats a genuinely scary thought

I cannot wait to be out and NEVER associate with the military or look military ever again. I genuinely feel like I’ve wasted 20 years.

Eh, back in the late 90’s/early 00’s you may have gotten a staff officer or E7+ to clutch their pearls at your existence but honestly two gay men doesn’t even register on the scale of “different” with soldiers these days. I found furry gear during a room inspection.

My first bike was a FZR600, though its a bit cheeky to say we did fine and we started on 600’s knowing full well that a ZX-4RR would ride circles around an old FZR or FZS600.

I spent 2 hours in a bunker in shower shoes and quickly drying lather when my first shower in over 14 days was interrupted by a VBIED less than 100 yards away. Everyone got a free show. To include our very innocent female medic.

Isn’t that the freedom fox guy? I remember he got in a bunch of trouble for waterskiing with a passenger

Its the easiest bike to be fast on. Leaned over on its side you could sit back and read the paper.

I think Dax would simply just be a good overall addition to the crew lol

Eh, the A-10 may not have a much higher top speed but its ability to generate energy is orders of magnitude greater. Then again with the vatnik front end it probably has all the speed and power of a Lada.
