Our first ever march in basic training was better than this....

woah...*most* humans okay. some of us have no rhythm...
But yea. Even those of us without rhythm can at least sync off of others and be close. This is just...this is deliberate. Not even an *attempt* to get in step. This is "I'll be there...but don't expect anything else from me."

Lots of frustrating stories around uniforms unfortunately. I'll never forget having to fly home from medic school in my ACUs (digital camo uniform) because it was the "duty uniform"
Being 18 years old, flying by yourself in full uniform at like 10pm on a commercial flight made me very uneasy...

~100 soldiers showing up at 5am and waking the neighbors dog who can see right paste the barbwire is very very weird I must say.
We weren't allowed to do morning PT runs because the neighborhood complained.
It was just...odd.

🤷♂️ I wish I was joking. As far as I know no one drills out of there anymore, now they use a repurposed high school like 10 minutes up the street I think.
But yea...kinda wild.
We just don't really have bases in the northeast. The closest "base" was 2hr drive for me.

I agree with the sentiment, and some of us hate it as well. Going anywhere in uniform puts an unnecessary target on your back. I always brought a change of clothes for when we "finished" for the day and would drive home in shorts and a tshirt. I would drive to the "base" in uniform though.

I'll push back.
During drill weekends, we wouldn't drill at a "base".
We had a repurposed elementary school in the middle of Taunton, MA we used as our "base" in the middle of a neighborhood. At lunch time, we had to go get lunch. And we were still considered "on duty" so had to be in uniform.

If not, it sounds like the president is saying indentured servitude is okay...

its disgusting to watch the politicization of the armed forces by a guy who spits on our culture, calls us "suckers" and "losers", and has no respect for anyone but himself.

I was a paramedic up until November 2020, I'll never forget the eeriness of going into once full nursing homes at half capacity. Entire wings empty just slaughtered by COVID. It was so grim.

Something people seem to discount is how juniors can be force multipliers in the right setting and when given focused training / learning.
In 6months, that junior can run circles around the AI that's been training on the same junk.

Only 45% for you? You must write pretty good code... future me looking at past me's good is 90% like "why the fuck did I write this shit?"

Microsoft did this ~10years ago.

During my time there , it was very interesting because people still had their "roles", but no title with it, which meant you just had to "know" who handled certain pieces...

And this is why fighting fascism and extremism with moderation, centrism, and compromise is bad.
You need to meet it with equal and opposite force.
There's also a straight line from 9/11 to where we are today.

Fellow parent of an autistic non-verbal 6 year old. You're not alone here and it scares me everyday as well. Hope things get better / easier for you :/
We all have our days, some days aren't our proudest, but as long as you're giving it your best and learning, not much else you can do :/

That support is unwavering. His cult of personality among his base gives him freedom to do whatever he wants and they'll support it no matter what, even when it makes their life objectively worse.

Seems reasonable. Thats *roughly* what we do in React 19 with JSX to get type checking.
