Active Reserve bonus
The new, large, unexpected bonus for the AR was something that got everyone excited when it came out, but upon reading the whole message, I found out that I missed it by a month and a half because I re-enlisted in the middle of November. It’s nice we finally got a bonus, but to cut out people who actually should get it is kind of a slap in the face.

CrossFit
If you’re going to do CrossFit, go to one of their gyms first and get some instruction on the moves. All the movements, for the most part, are multimuscle group/joint, etc., and a lot are olympic/gymnastic movements. If you don’t stick to the form, or you use too much weight, you’re going to get hurt.

Editorial: No justice in secrecy
The Court of Inquiry testimony revealed that the major and his team were set up for failure. First, they deployed with just about zero support (absolutely unconscionable), then they received training that focused far too much on direct action. These are issues that lieutenant colonels, colonels and generals are charged with overseeing and fixing. The major’s superiors should have been supervising this deployment through a microscope since it was the Corps’ initial deployment into the spec ops realm, but they failed.
