StockTrader Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Just found out today they finally were able to move our WOBC dates. Some guys starting this Friday. I'm starting two days after ALSE ends. Quote
TachedOutOffRoad Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Can somebody in the course make me one of these by Saturday? I'll be at the sim this weekend and will buy you a beer or whatnot. Quote

TachedOutOffRoad Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Badass. It's super handy. Make one for yourself too. Staying on post and having one or six cold beers at Mother Ruckers Saturday night, please come partake. Quote
Yamer Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 What goes on that thing opposite your helmet bag? Quote
TachedOutOffRoad Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Ammo bag, pubs bag, goggles bag, ALSE gear, logbook/computer, small cooler, other people's stuff Whatever you want Quote
Yamer Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Ah the old shoulder sling. Okay I get it. I thought it was some cool attachment leader for securing it in the magic school bus or something I haven't heard of yet. Edited August 27, 2015 by Yamer Quote
Yamer Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 sh*t... Looks like I get my follow on course... Quote
rakkasanvet Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 This is random, but seems related. At my current civilian job, I have spreadsheets that I update daily which track my current projects, as well as qualifications and re-certifications. I've set up my email program (outlook) to give me reminders when sensitive dates are approaching. Do aviators in the Army receive laptops on which they can track the myriads of information which they are responsible for? Quote
Lindsey Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Well I can only speak for flight school, yes we are issued laptops but they are absolute trash. Quote
rakkasanvet Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Well I can only speak for flight school, yes we are issued laptops but they are absolute trash. Well, come on, its the army. Army electronics are notoriously behind the times versus the civilian world. My old platoon sergeant used to ask me (as the forward observer/RTO), "Crosby, why the heck can my cell phone that fits in the palm of my hand make international calls, and be outfitted with security devices, but the Army can't get past a cinderblock-sized radio that's still only line of sight and has to be encrypted weekly, by hand?" To which I would reply, "don't ask me, you've been in longer than I have." As long as the computer can handle basic excel functions and I can type up memos, I'm good to go. 1 Quote
Lindsey Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Oh no, they're civilian laptops--the Army just managed to find the most expensive ones with the slowest processors. Quote
rakkasanvet Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 And some congressman was able to hook up his buddy's computer company with a DOD contract. Quote
Lindsey Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Is ALSE really 5 weeks long?5 weeks of glory!! Quote

Lindsey Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Quotes from class today: This is what happens when you have a SGT teaching an assortment of Warrant Officers an otherwise dry class about Survival Kit items: Instructor: "What does the yellow tag have on it that the green tag doesn't?"CW3: "Yellow." Instructor: "This is a signaling mirror. What's it for?" The whole class: "Signalling." Instructor: "This is a spoon, do I have to tell you guys what to use this for?"CW3: "Spooning." Instructor: "This is a candle, it doesn't have a wick. Why?" CW2: "Because it doesn't want to be a candle." Instructor: "There is a sharpening stone inside this little red case. What do you think it's for?" WO1: "Eating." Instructor: "This is a knife where you can cut up your favorite LT." Later, "This is a shovel where you can dig a hole in the ground and bury him." Simply glorious. 1 Quote
