Now that I am out of the army, I make it a thing to put my hands in my pockets as much as I want. Feels good man

[@lelandgaunt9985]

Happy 4th MissCoriel!

[@jcaleca60]

Lol my dad was on Guadalcanal bronze star purple heart oak leaf Custer from went o was a kid no hands in Pocket

[@user-hv2xl4rm1y]

oh yeah!~

[@wixom01]

LOL, I forgot about that one, VGMRMissCoriel.

[@gregorylatta8159]

I still can't make myself do it.

[@jdcorr714]

The deal about not walking on the grass is primarily about discipline and laziness.

[@S1D3W1ND3R015]

Same with walking and talking on a phone in uniform too. It's more about discipline and professionalism but safety is in there too for the phone one.

[@darktoadone5068]

I remember when pagers first came out, a lot of us called them beepers you were not allowed to have one as an enlisted soldier, only officers were allowed to have them.

[@armandonunez7621]

No visitors in the soldier's room. Especially barracks bunnies.

[@comics360]

Thank u. Very interesting and informative.

[@guerocutz4564]

A big thing he keeps saying is while in uniform also a lot of this is towards active duty because, me being a reservist I only wear the uniform once a month from a person in active duty wears it everyday

[@S1D3W1ND3R015]

Technically we are still supposed to keep our Military bearing at all times even as NG or Reserve as we are still Soldiers but I get what you mean. A lot of units don't care or won't notice compared to Active duty.

[@guerocutz4564]

Very much agreed we still are a representation of the army in or out of uniform

[@joshuaplumb1]

When I was at Ft. Ord basic training they had signs that said, Grass grows by in. dyes by ft.

[@mattwolfen]

The travel radius thing is down to divisions or lower, like for me it was stated as being 350 miles. And that unit crest, luckily the crests on drum are almost always covered with stuff so you CAN'T walk across them

[@itzcaseykc]

Grass grows by the inches, but dies by the feet.

[@carlrpdstars1169]

Good info I’m gonna be leaving for basic training on the 22nd of august good to know.

[@juniorreaves9050]

I've been around when people have been chewed out for walking in the grass.

[@swaghauler8334]

Let the CSM catch you walking on HIS grass outside of HQ. That's a really big thing at Ft. Sill!

[@Tyradius]

Get off my lawn! Army edition.

[@wherecar54]

Yeah, no hands in pockets…that was a big deal with Cadre…and walking on the grass…always wanted to cut through the friggin grass to the mess. Never could figure out why the grass was so important, it wasn’t like we would trip a Claymore.

[@maplemanz]

I remember drill sergeants yelling " get of my grass"!

[@lonewolfsim6837]

And that’s why enlistment and retention is down. Our generation like to be free not restricted.

[@antfct2]

Thoughts on joining the army at 33? I would be going in looking for 19D, 89D or 91B as my MOS. Been watching you for quite some time now, Keep up the good work! I know you have a video in this subject somewhere but its always refreshing hearing a brief comment from the man him self!

[@tadhalpin1595]

Being married or having children will make Army service very difficult at times when in deployable status, a lot of time away from family

[@vincentnguyen8644]

Id honestly recommend that you would try the going the officer route because as a new enlisted service member; your expected to do hard labor intensive stuff unless your somehow magically 18 or in your early 20s Id wouldn’t recommend going the enlisted route

[@antfct2]

@@vincentnguyen8644 I am use to labor Intensive stuff but obviously not use to whatever tasks they might have me do. I do get what your saying though, even though I am use to hard labor I wouldn't be able to keep up too long with someone who is 18 or early 20's unless they are just lazy haha. I never thought about the officers route but I will do some research on the matter

[@antfct2]

@@tadhalpin1595 This is exactly what had stopped me from joining years ago in my mid 20's. I was threatened that if I joined my fiance and kids would leave me the moment I went to basic so I abandoned those thoughts. Now though we have been separated for some time and I would like to possibly pursue my dream of making my grandfather proud by serving my country as he did in Korea and Vietnam

[@tadhalpin1595]

@@antfct2 I'd say go for it then! Though my experience is with the Navy rather than the Army, but I'm sure you'll find what you'll like in the service

Where ever you were even driving. when Tapps played you stopped and saluted the FLAG.

[@sithninjacowboyranger9803]

How about going to Mexico if you are stationed in Fort Irwin, CA?

[@Tyradius]

So in the Army you can't touch grass? Guess I'll just keep living in fantasy land.

[@julzdawolf]

I’m currently a groundskeeper, and I support the “keep off the grass” rule.

You missed not putting your hands in your pockets

[@doriessjsanjuan9323]

Sir, i just wanted to ask you if the us soldier went from deployment and back to his home in ohio he will shoulder the expenses, as one of my friend said his boyfriend went from ukrain and stranded in US Colorado base right now, he asking for 400 dollar to back home in ohio, kindly advise please. Thanks

[@rmay883]

Dang, that's alot of coverage

[@lelandgaunt9985]

Interesting about the 250 miles radius, so another example of the army “adding to by taking away from.” 🙄

[@ivanscottw]

I'm pretty sure my dad (RIP) who was a SFC in Fort Hood at some point was probably allowed to walk on the grass because.. He (and is team) was the f***g groundskeeper - Yeah.. There are people in the Army that have to tend to that nice green grass and pretty flower beds and all that, so eventually, they are going to have to walk on it at some point as part of their duty - but I guess it's that exception to the rule ! I believe that he was in the Army Corps of Engineers at that point - so his job was laying pipes, counting broken windows and tending grass and flower beds ! So some soldier mowing the grass is probably allowed to walk on the grass (it kinda comes with the job !) and would probably flabbergasted seeing someone walking on that freshly mowed lawn !

[@gant8408]

Be happy

[@tatsuyashiba5911]

No walking while using an electronic...had the NCO specifically emphasize this one during Campbell reception because they'd have soldiers get into accidents playing Pokemon GO....

[@jester-lh2ug]

In the hotel now waiting to go to ft Jackson tomorrow 🇺🇸

[@tlh7717]

My son graduated bootcamp at Fort Jackson September 23, 2021. He left for bootcamp July 12, 2021. It's a nice base, although you won't see most of it. It's hot down there, stay strong and just keep swimming. He told me the worst part of basic is living in the bay with 60 other guys and dealing with other trainees. He also said the Army motto of, "hurry up and wait" holds very true. Expect them to keep you awake for the 1st 24 hours at reception, they want everyone extra tired and on the same schedule. They don't shark attack you anymore. They also don't teach hand to hand combat. Take a pad lock with you for your locker, stamps, envelops and paper/pen with addresses, and make sure friends and family write you a lot, and send care packages. Toilet paper, red river military socks, family pictures, extra underware, soap, shampoo, razor, and cough drops were big comonaties with trainees (maybe sunscreen, chap stick, bug spary, icy hot a good idea too). Good luck!

[@tlh7717]

If they are still doing the yellow phase of basic bc of covid, that sucked pretty bad too he told me. It's basically 2 weeks of quarentine after arriving and getting all required vaccinations. Long and boring with not much going on, just waiting.

[@tlh7717]

He would get 30 minutes of phone time on Sundays if his platoon wasn't being punished for anything that week. He didnt get to call only 1 sunday. You do get smoked a lot. The food in defect sucks. You eat a lot of MREs while out training.

[@jester-lh2ug]

@@tlh7717 in reception right now no covid stuff hear you have to wear a mask during reception because of all the medical things but BCT you dont and yes food could definitely be better lol

Not military, the one that I was surprised was not mentioned is, the no hands in pockets. Then the one I find myself doing I never go outside without a hat on but would never ware one inside it comes off going through the doorway. But for the most part many of these rules or regulations were originally just common courtesy or social norms.

[@MrJimmy-fl2bn]

Oct or Nov of 2001, I was leaving Ft Gordon.. orders from the post commander was no traveling in uniform, for obvious reasons at the time. Well there's always one 😂😂😂

[@Dogsoldier12B]

Being subject to both civilian and military law

[@dkoz8321]

On post , when walking, if a vehicle is flying a general officer flag, you have to salute as it drives by you. Ft.Sill. DO NOT BRING PERSONAL OWNED WEAPONS OR UNAUTHORISED WEAPONS on FTX or deployment! Unless special permission is granted. This is not same as weapons and equipment that you signed for and are responsible for, that are unique to you (like a zeroed scope). Too often soldier brought unauthorized blades in their kit. Same rule for ammunition. No pogey bait (illegal food). This is grey area, and everyone does it. Especially officers. DO NOT SALUTE in the field FTX or deployment, especially on 2way rifle range. #1 Rule: Always be on correct time, at correct place, in correct uniform, with correct gear. Top's pack list is your pack list unless instructed otherwise.

[@chillis28]

[@Gwizz-1000]

Here is one you forgot.... DO NOT WEAR YOUR COVER INDOORS!!!

Yes. You basically get paid to go to prison

[@randallrussell1397]

Hands in pockets

[@alancranford3398]

Sign in a city--"Sailors and dogs keep off the grass." It used to be common courtesy to stay on the sidewalk. Walking on a unit crest is another "common courtesy" issue--don't tread on the unit's symbol because that's stomping on the unit. Civilians are a lower form of life and cannot be expected to know better.

[@teresadrewicki9360]

Hey Alan , as a civilian, yes some of us are a lower form of life, but if weather there is a sign or not, I don’t walk on the grass😀

In regards to not walking and talking while using an electronic device. Its not new, its old. Think of it like this, ever been on a phone, walking and talking only to have the signal drop off and lose the call? Yeah, so stay put in an area you know has a good signal, communicate any and all info, then move on. Make sense? (edited for spelling errors)

Tipcally if national guard or reserve are deployed stateside, they will not likely be on a "base". Usually in temporary type of housing not on a base. For example, NG deployed to the US southern border are in trailers or hotels. If they are deployed to an emergency then they will also not be on a base.
