No, the reference was due to the Ranger course serving as leadership validation for the Regiment.

Re: IED Shockwaves and Internal Hidden Injuries

Interesting article. I wonder what makes shock waves different now than 50 years ago? 50 years ago it was called "blast overpressure and it was thought to be something that could be managed. As a Master Breaches in Regiment I cannot count the number of times I left a training area feeling dizzy.

Re: Promotion Orders

To be honest, I did not read your entire post. You can get angry and you can act indignant but the bottom line is You QUIT! You quit on yourself and you quit on the Soldiers that you were entrusted with. ECP is not a perfect program but it serves a purpose. My only point was, if you were brought to ...

Re: Promotion Orders

Long story short, I didn't want the end bad enough for it to justify the means. I just got off the phone with your contact as a matter of fact. Talk about my ...

Re: Promotion Orders

As far as owing money if you accepted a Scholarship while at JUCO or you participated in an Ike Skelton scholarship or Education Assistance Porgram (EAP) at the University, you will owe money. The amount should be reported via a DA Form 5315 from DFAS.

Re: Promotion Orders

I have extensive experience (6 years so far ) on this very topic and this is my opinion. You cannot legally be issued a 785 because you did not disenroll from an officer producing program. You see the officer producing part was your time at the JUCO, which you completed. Your description of the acce...

US Army War College considers removing Confederate portraits
