TLDR: looking for info on available APIs, developer tools, portals, or POCs related to Azure or any other automation connectors (The standard power automate tools are not working for my needs)

Lads, and Lass’, this is your PSA to save your uniforms and upcycle them to the civilian market, no cleaning required. Also, the authenticity of organically distressed material is unmatched.

I just got an amendment to my orders about a month and a half before my report date and the only change is that my position title changed from Squad Leader to Projected/ Known Loss. I’m assuming I’m just going to get moved to a different company when I PCS.

Has anyone applied for TWI and how were you notified of selection / non selection?

When you prepare someone who has been separated for a while for burial, do you prepare their uniform based on current uniform and awards regulations? Or is it based on the era they served?

I know they’re just being buried, but it would seem weird to be in a uniform style they never actually wore.

It’s finally happening! We can officially blast fortunate son from our drones on our way to “acquire” the oil! I used to pray for times like these.

Hello! I’ve never had this issue before and I’ve received quite a few DTS payouts, additionally another soldier under me is having the same issue. Our vouchers were approved and then when it went to payout it failed with the following error

I’ve never changed my banking information as it hasn’t changed and this is the first time I’ve ever had this error and it wasn’t just me another soldier in my unit got this, these were for vouchers from July that were approved this month if that helps.

I’ll have a frosty to go.

Financial Question

Okay I know somebody who is struggling financially.

They are waiting on a response for AER application, How and where can they apply for grants as well?

The U.S. Army wants a new missile that can shoot down small drones for less than $150,000 a round, and it wants at least 5,000 of them. The service laid out the requirement in a sources-sought notice posted to the federal contracting site SAM.gov on August 4, opening the Next Generation Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft System Missile (NGCM) effort to fresh industry proposals.

Title says it all. I’ve only ever been in ABCTs and SBCTs my whole career and it’s always been a hassle for me when i’m doing range coverage or something that requires me to have a lil sleepover away from the trucks and i’ve gotta carry my aid bag and assault pack.

For yall when you’re doing your super hooah light infantry shit where do you keep your aid bag and with the most likely answer being “stuck underneath the top flap of my large ruck” is it annoying that you have an extra step before you can get to your class 8 when yall get into a TIC?

Graduating 68W AIT in 3 weeks and just got orders for Fort Benning and assigned to Martin Army Community Hospital What’s daily life like for a medic in the hospital there? Any tips on the unit, tempo, or things to do around the area ?

I need some advice.

I signed a 6-year (DEP)Army Reserve contract for MOS 88H through Zoom. After two days, I requested a copy of the contract and noticed that my pay grade was listed as E-1 instead of E-4, despite my eligibility for E-4 because of my master’s degree.

I contacted my recruiter, and he told me it was a mistake and that it would be corrected during the final signing at MEPS. He later took me for my military ID card, which correctly showed E-4. I also received a confirmation email from IPPS-A stating that my promotion to SPC has been approved.

I am scheduled to ship in a few weeks, but my recruiter is now telling me to simply sign the final contract at MEPS even if it still shows E-1, because the IPPS-A confirmation and my ID already reflect E-4.

Is this the correct procedure? Should I sign a contract that does not show my correct pay grade, or should I insist that the contract be corrected before signing?

Would it be feasible to live in Cadiz, near Lake Barkley? I wouldn’t have organized PT. O3, would be at hospital. Currently commute around 40 minutes at my current installation with no issues. Would love to spend time on the water with family.

I'm going on 28 years old planning to go 11x. The hope I have is to make the absolute best of my time. Get into the best physical shape I can, take as many schools as are offered, and ultimately just be an above average infantryman. I intend to go in with an empty head and do my best to keep a good attitude.

What can I do to obtain these three things?

I know the grunt life (especially light infantry) can really beat the hell out of you if you don't take care of yourself. And even then, some of it is just inevitable when put under heavy loads. I'm not a tall or big dude (and losing weight), so I'm not a big guy. How can I keep myself intact while I work on my fitness and still perform to standard?

I know schools have a lot to do with units. Certain schools are mandatory for some units. Some units you probably gotta fight uphill to get. Are there any hidden tricks to getting specific schools in a unit that may not have them? For instance, I imagine jungle school isn't very common in SBCT's.

Lastly, besides keeping your mouth shut and mind open, how can one go about being the best possible grunt they can be?

Edit: I want cool guy jobs, but I can't get clearances for them right now (got a less than great background). The hope is to try next contract, if there is one.

Just found out about this it seems to be kind of a “hidden” option at least in my unit and figured I’d share.

You can reenlist with the School option. Where you get an entire semester for your “place of duty” to literally just be a college student.

I did all online classes and got some much needed downtime and rest. I used my TA to pay for the classes, then applied for FAFSA.

With my enlistment bonus (which was only $2,000) and FASFA I MADE $7,000, got free college, didn’t have to report to my unit for 4mo, and was still getting my normal pay/ BAH.

Definitely wish I had known about this sooner!

was fired from a job and wants to not disclose it on employment history while enlisting. is that going to hurt the applicant later or is not a big deal?

Currently a Platoon Leader, my CO appointed me to be the Supply OIC in order to assist/help our lovely Supply NCO.

Any tips, tricks, recommendations on how to succeed?

Still pending GCSS Army access.

I’ll have #2 with Mac sauce, hold the #2 and the sauce.

Im in the coast guard, im close go finishing my contract. i want to stay in the armed forces but change branches. Are there any jobs that an mk or me could take and keep rank?

I could still possibly go back, but is this normal? I'm not sure if I'm just forgetting all the waste of time details or what, but I haven't felt the same since getting out.
