Know what they call a pony tail when 'grappling' as part of physical training?

A handle.

To tell you the truth I actually have no idea but I get the sense that "combatives" or "hand-to-hand combat" are terms that are too... well, not "aligned" with the "feelings of the entire force."

(Yeah, just threw up a little typing that.)

A few years ago - tattoos were a sign of the devil because of the severe and devastating degree of unprofessional behavior associated with it...
...now Soldiers that gender identify as "male" can wear nail polish



Its a brave new world

I wonder why the 15 woman/2 (obviously) metro advisory panel didn't think it was important to address the issue of beards?

Need the grip for a little extra counterforce on the thrust?

Top Democrat Calls on Pentagon to Screen Social Media Accounts of All Recruits for Ties to White Supremacy and “Violent Extremism
By Jim Hoft
Published February 2, 2021 at 3:00pm


"Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) one of the star Democrats in Congress and a complete idiot wants the Pentagon to start screening the social media of all recruits for white supremacy and “Violent extremism” views.

It’s not clear what she means by “violent extremism” but it is doubtful she’s talking about Antifa or Black Lives Matter."

"My provision to make violent extremism a military crime was blocked by Trump. DoD & the fed government aren't screening service members & others w/sensitive roles for white-supremacist & violent-extremist ties on social media. This must change NOW. We can't risk another Jan 6."
