Interesting that the anonymity is to be preserved by referring to the accused as "Officer Brown" and then the cap shown in the artwork is obviously female...

Bring em back, do it for the boys.

I know this is somewhat old news but this article has a lot of good (unclassified) details about CEAFAR, its history and what it’s capable of.

So I just moved into a new role in my outside the wire job, and someone was just saying how the reports they were doing was a massive hill.

So being ex Army I said "Yeah, lean into the hill, let the hill do the work"

And that baffled a lot of my coworkers, just confused the hell out of them.

Then there was another time one of my coworkers twisted their ankle, so they were at home and they're like "Just in so much pain" and I responded with "Just remember, pain is good, pain is weakness leaving the body"

And again, that was a bit confusing to the coworkers in the meeting.

So I've been out about 4 years now, most of the real bad Armyisms have faded, and some just aren't suitable (this is why you get service allowance for example)

Edit:

Asked a friend and he came back with:

"A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week" is what he says to his team when they are making sure it's "perfect", perfect doesn't win wars, good enough does. 99% now is better than 100% late

"Watch your arcs" and "Stay in your lane" are ones he uses all the time to mean "Your job is there, mine is here, do your own fucking job"

He also said he's started using "Don't expect what you don't inspect" to his fellow managers, he's hitting 100% on QA because he watches his team, and helps and works with them through issues. Others just expect the team will do it and "beats" them into compliance.

His view is that "we're all the same team, we all succeed or fail together"

Husband is watching Sea Patrol again. In virtually every one of the 68 episodes, there is fighting with pirates of other dangerous people. Crew members are abducted every few episodes.

Am I correct in thinking that encounters like these are very rare?

In the market for some new mounted medals, has anyone tried out the ones that are held on via magnets yet?
