Agreed, asking is one thing. Continuing to ask after stating no is a different thing. I experienced this when I was having major complications while pregnant. I was asked no less than 10 times at the same hospital visit if I wanted an abortion then required to sign paperwork that
I’m really disappointed on some of the takes about in reg faith based uniform mods. Expressing your faith has no impact on lethality. Same goes for hair length, beard growth, or any other mod. In WWII we had folks fighting in war paint and we celebrated it. The GWAT had everyone
@acweyand
I’d recommend them to see a doc they prefer vs you given their bias. This person clearly doesn’t trust you because of your gender no matter your specialty. It’s not worth your energy. They will likely expect you to do this with everything if you continue this patient/doc
@MakingbbySquids
Sad part is its direction mainly for larger size folks. I’m on the smaller side and my MFM doc and her team told me to not do that as it wasn’t required for someone my size. After that, i just ignored that request.
When will the Army create a more stable family environment by transitioning to a 4-5 year PCS cycle vs the 2-3 year PCS cycle?
The AF did it already and the Marines are looking at it now from what I understand!
This would likely be a big help to retention and recruiting.
@ClaireMax
Amen, I get to a meditation state/flow state when listening to what ever while swimming or cleaning. I literally have to multitask to get there. I also can’t journal because I can’t write it down fast enough or I become even more irritated.
@Mollys_ADHD
Agreed. Also I wish folks would stop telling me everyone has my issues and I need to get over it. When everyone experiences them every now and then not every day.

I second the ND statement. I just forget to eat. Especially when I’m working on something and I’m hyperfocusing so hard I have zero concept of time. This happens frequently with studying especially for certifications.

I get this at every doctor’s office. I had a hysterectomy. Every visit they ask. Every visit I have a similar conversation. One had the nerve to tell me i could be pregnant with just ovaries. I asked the nurse if she knew what a vaginal cuff was. She said no. I asked for a

@fesshole
Sounds like she needs to just get out of the medical field since she’s seems to think anxious and ND folks who are misunderstood as rude don’t deserve compassion. I’m happy to leave a bad review for the office and just go to an office who does sedated dentistry and specializes in
This is why no one believes the total compensation package for junior enlisted. That and 14 hr work days means they are making $3 per hour of work. Let’s not get into needing to buy a car due to a lack of shuttles or DFAC and work in walking distance. This is why Mc D’s and
But who speaks for the B’s Lorax ?
last month they didn’t have hot water for a month. Now they are replacing the water boiler (with a new one so good for them) but now they won’t have hot water for another week.
Oh this is the water after it was fixed the first time…

junior signal Soldiers! Don’t get out of your first term enlistment with out N+ and Sec+ at the minimum! Get CCNA and Linux+ too! All of these certs can be completed for free by means of vouchers from CIOG6. See your S6 NCOIC for details or DM me and I’ll help you!

It’s gaslighting when you’ve said you don’t want what they are offering. If you say no then the answer is NO. Just like if someone is pressuring you for sex. No means NO period. Stop justifying the excuses. If someone says no and they need paperwork signed stating something is
Is it me or is USAA becoming less of a value added service? Every time I turn around I notice they offer less or the service is more expensive. Sad really. JMO.
MilTwitter, I’m all about military history. I’m sorry... I just can’t focus on that right now. Same for infosec twitter. I’m angry, I’m scared for all my siblings at arms, I’m tired of leaders ignoring reports of SHARP issues and violent behavior/tendencies.
Hey wonderful people! PSA! No matter what little of a shot you have with a board, submit that packet! If you want to go to OCS, who cares about your GPA. Let the board decide! If you want to be considered for MAJ at Double BZ, let the board decide! Not submitting means you’re not
Passed tape!💃💃💃💃 so the no lifting and 100% cardio with waist trainer worked. I weighed 154 and now 147. Taped neck 15in then 12 now, waist then 31 now 28.5, hips then 41 now 39. I barely passed tape at school, now I’m 4% under that. I was 4% under my max then so I’m 8 under

@GHMansfield
Exactly how they made me feel. I’m all for choice. However, when I’m getting bullied by medical staff to do something I absolutely do. It want to do, it’s absolutely feels as if they aren’t giving me a choice
@AkilahObviously
Probably want to pull in the after market orgs too. I see lots of older vehicles with this too and I personally like to see at night after passing another vehicle no matter the weather.
So I’ve been taped in prep for height and weight and tape. I also visited the bod pod. So I tape out at 34% and the bod pod lists my body fat at 24.2%.
That’s a BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!
#stopusingameasuringtapetomeasurebodyfat
!!!!
So, why do we list height and weight on NCOERs and OERs? Why don’t we just put passed or failed height and weight? Serious question. Please share the reasoning.
@hecubian_devil
They could always use self checkout if they don’t want to engage in small talk. The cashiers don’t get a choice. They are apart of the secret shopper checklist for review the store pays for. It’s the same for call centers. They literally get rated by how pleasant they are. 🤷🏻♀️
@il0venostalgia
Why not teach it as a font so they can read it while learning how to type. Create an arts class in calligraphy thats an elective so they can learn that cursive isn’t just a way to write but can be an art form with in graphic design.

Please educate your peers. I was gaslit my entire life till an amazing doc like you actually listened. She offered to help with my fibroids and gave me several options. I selected the permanent solution as they run in the family. My life has been amazing since!
Wow, how hard is it for men to understand when a woman gets a hysterectomy, that expecting the woman with no uterus to take a pregnancy test for vaccinations to prevent fetal injury is a massive insult much like spitting in her face. Then Mansplain as to why it’s important. GTFOH

OMG!!! WTF?!?!? This needs to be fixed. She needs to be amplified all the way to the JCoS and SECDEF!!! You want to stop 22 a day?!?! Start by NOT RETAINING HER ATTACKER!!! Her CG is apart of the PROBLEM!!! Any one who admits to raping another SM needs an automatic removal & DHD
Did you know a 0600 formation means the entire family potentially has to be out the door by 430 am to hit all time hacks with dealing with CDCs? Can someone please help me understand why are we returning to in person formations with this still going on? I genuinely want to know!
As of this morning I’m 3lbs away from no tape for H/W on a well calibrated scale and 5lbs from a poorly calibrated scale. 💃💃💃💃💃 I have a whole month and a half to go too. No tape for me.
I’m here to tell you, if you help your subordinates and your peers succeed, they will frequently bend over backwards to help you do the same if not way more.
When you don’t and you could have then you make it hard for them to go the extra mile for you!
Thank you to everyone who’s reached out. Today has been much better. I have absolutely AMAZING leadership! They are stepping in to coach me through this struggle. I had no idea I have so many folks in my village that are going out of their way to retain me in the army & unit!
How many of you have a hard time accepting compliments? If that’s you, then I’m in good company because I have that struggle too. Imposter syndrome and all. Several folks have told me I work at the LTC level. I didn’t believe it. So, I asked my rater and senior rater. They both
Today is a good day! At 44.5 I struggle with weight! But I hit a new low at 147. 5 lbs and no taping. So I’ll keep at it.
I also hexbar dead lifted 145lbs 10 times for the first time in the year and a half I’ve been working on it. Physical Therapy works!!! No back pain either.
So it’s take a year and a half to be able to do more then just walk. Lots of physical therapy. But today I was able to elliptical for 2 miles in what was formerly a passing PT test run time. More work to be done in Physical therapy. Just proud of what was done today!
@TheWTFNation
Does the Under Secretary of the Army walk through the CG’s house? Of course not, of course he comes over for drinks or dinner but he’s not inspecting it! Does he do a walk through of anyone’s house off post? Also no! So stop this invasion of privacy of junior SMs. BAH for all!
Hey Mil Twitter! If you’re working from home using OWA and all of the sudden you get you can’t access OWA or AKO because it’s not safe then uninstall your root certificate and install the new root cert. military CAC dot com has all you need to fix it.
I see my follower count has gone up recently. Hi, welcome! Just a few notes. I’m passionate about cybersecurity, leadership, and care of junior SMs. This is not a porn account! I’m a nerd who looks like Velma when my hair is short. Hope you have an amazing day!

They need a new doc. Getting tools to learn to emotionally regulate is a big part of getting through school without a lot of trauma. Especially if he suffers from RSD or anxiety induced by ADHD.

How to tell who doesn’t follow Olympic swimming with out saying you don’t follow Olympic or collage swimming. Male Olympic swimmers are massive compared to Katie. But she regularly beats men in 400 meters. Just not at the Olympics but she’s close.
I’m posting this for my fellow CPTs. If you fail to plan it’s your fault you have low turn out for events. If you’re on staff and you give Co CMD teams zero notice and you push for max participants then understand that failure is on you and not the SMs with families. S3 shop, 👀
Absolutely CRUSHED Deads this morning!!!! New personal record!!! Can’t remember the exact amount but I’m now projected to be able to hex bar lift at 160 vs the 140 I lifted a few months ago. 💃💃💃💃 small wins must be celebrated!
If we are a people first organization, then we need to update the FCP regulation to state sick children are not included for activating it. The leave regulation also needs to state that leave is not to be used for staying home w sick children. That’s if you want to keep talent!
How many people struggle with body image issues due to the out of date methods used to measure body fat?
I’ll go first! I do! I’m absolutely going to need therapy after retiring if not while I’m in because I’m obsessed with my weight and honestly, I now hate the way I look. 😕

Religious exemptions all ready exist for Sikh and norse pegan/heathen SMs. Also we have beard profiles. Not to mention the army has been working with industry to make masks compatible with beards.

A little Hurricane humor for back home. It’s unlikely we’d be this relaxed for a cat 3 or higher. But a cat 1 low two this is absolutely how we respond. That and a stop for party supplies 🍹 🍸! Be safe folks. Here’s to no injuries and no damage.
@TheWTFNation
Um, I don’t think so. BAH is considered included in the total compensation package provided by the Army. Every active duty person gets a living quarters to use at will or they are provided BAH. Just because they chose not to use it doesn’t mean you have the right to take it!

This is the exact reason I keep printed copies of chances of uniform regs and grooming standards on me. This says more about their choice to try and enforce out dated policy vs enforce current policy based on their bias. This is why toxicity is still alive and well in the Army.

Delegate the tasks I’m stuck on. Struggling with documenation. Teach someone how to do it. Struggling with grocery shopping? Instacart that shit! Struggling with dishes, put small amounts in the dishwasher and when done put on your comfort show to create body bouble and put them

Today’s visual of my foot injury. Send prayers and positive vibes for the end of the week. I guess I should be happy that it doesn’t hurt accept when I step wrong. 😂 hot soaks seem to be helping a lot!
Last workout prior to height and weight tomorrow morning. I’m soooo close to making screening weight it hurts. Can’t wait till 0530 to get on that scale the. Go to breakfast. I’m thinking IHOP. Hopefully there will be one open.
