Fort Jackson soldier dies preparing for training drill, officials say

An 18-year-old Army recruit at Fort Jackson died following a “medical emergency” before a training drill, according to an officials with the base.

This was a soldier-in-training with the 3/60th. Very very sad.

starter w/ @inspacetimc , ft jackson & henry

Henry had been sat at the bar for the past half an hour, glaring over at his ex-boyfriend and whatever new slut was hanging off his arm this week, to Henry it felt immensely disrespectful, to bring a man into the bar that the two had first hooked up at and not only that but overly flaunt themselves in public, it was utterly fucking disgusting and all he wanted to do was go over to there booth and start punching them both, but he knew that'd be another mark down on his criminal record and that's the last thing he wanted.

As fate would have it, his ex and his new beau whilst Henry was in the middle of a mind rant had decided to walk over to the bar, the only reprieve he had was that the two hadn't seen him yet so without even the slightest hint of hestitan he turned on his seat and wrapped his arms around the first person he could find and pulled them in for a deep passionate kiss, his hands roaming around every inch of body they could find, after he heard the utter disgust of his ex behind him turning on his heels and leaving he quickly pulled away from the kiss "Bro, I'm so sorry, that fucking prick was my ex and fucked me over so bad and I just needed to make him jealous, no hard feelings right?" which was a funny thing to say considering just how tight Henry's pants felt once he got an actual look at the stranger he'd been locking lips with.

❰❰ ARM ❱❱ sender puts their arm around receiver (jackson)

Levi was a little shocked when he felt another arm around his shoulders and was just about to shrug it off when he turned to look at the other. Noticing his 'uncle' he relaxed with a smile. "Uncle Jax...hi.." he started. "I didn't expect t see you here." he admitted.

who do you hate the most?

“The most? Probably a tie between Jackson Krum and Scorpius Malfoy. Them being together just makes me hate them more.”

Low Recruit Discipline Prompts Army to Redesign Basic Training

The U.S. Army will soon launch a redesign of Basic Combat Training intended to build more discipline.

From the article:

The new BCT POI weeded out "lot of redundant areas and areas that have crept in that did not get after the basics" -- shoot, move, communicate and protect or survive, Frost said.

For weapons qualification, recruits will be required to qualify with backup iron sights instead of just on close-combat optic sights.

Physical fitness standards will also be increased, requiring each soldier to score at least 60 points on all three events of the Army Physical Fitness Test instead of 50 points on each as a graduation standard.

Each recruit will also receive 33 hours of combatives training instead of 22 hours, Frost said.

Recruits will receive an increased amount of tactical combat casualty care training such as basic combat lifesaver.

The course will also teach "some of the basics that we had kind of lost with respect to communications such as basic hand and arm signals, and we have doubled the amount of basic reporting on the radio communications" such as MEDEVAC and similar requests, Frost said.

...The new BCT does, however, do away with hand grenade qualification and land navigation course qualification as graduation requirements.

"Just because we took it off as a graduation requirement does not mean they won't be conducting hand grenade or land navigation training," Frost said. "They are going to learn all the technical aspects of the hand grenade, and they are going to learn tactical employment and they will throw a live hand grenade."With land navigation, it's the same thing they are still going to conduct land navigation training; they are still going to conduct the day course they are still going to conduct the night course."

TL; DR: Army’s going back to basics, because those hitting their FDSs are trending as sloppy, undisciplined, lazy, and unskilled. ‘Bout time. 

Iron sights, though. :D
