That’s not what I was gonna ask.

My question was more, how does this appear to be satire?

Someone's angling for a promotion.

I can’t do this anymore /s

Are you serious???? 😂😂😂😂

Before anyone asks, Dominic Perrottet is the Premier of New South Wales in Australia.

They had a similar program for the Army and Marines during the Vietnam-era draft, so nothing new. If recruits were overweight, injured, or couldn't meet certain standards they would cycle them through special training regiments before integrating them into a regular training unit.

However, there weren't as many obese people in the 1960s-70s, as there are today.

Big schools like this hire dedicated Diversity & Inclusion staff to make sure they’re ok. The new bureaucracy can never declare that their work is done, because then they would be out of their (often) six-figure jobs, and thus they fabricate ever more ridiculous things to complain about.

Nobody is actually offended by the phrase “field work” because, guess what, everyone has recent ancestors who worked in the fields.

Man I was in water pur, fuel, laundry shower and then mortuary affairs… maybe it’s all of us?

Naw, just combat arms.

When the 24 hour news media needed to find stories to offend people.

I wouldn't say I lose any sleep over it, but it is refreshing to hear someone point this out against stereotypes lol Been a pretty competent industrial electrician for around a decade now, had a gt in the mid 120s when I enlisted, and literally got laughed at by my recruiter when I asked if I qualified to go infantry. Plenty of knuckle draggers and big dumb animal environments to be sure (admittedly more so than not) but folks are always surprised to hear that I know plenty of grunts who transitioned into shit like filmmaking, culinary arts, psychology, and at least one engineer. Might be a very unique community and set of circumstances, but the military is still just a sample size of the general population, even down to the line units.

I find it offensive that anyone would be offended by me saying this isn’t offensive when I myself am offended by offensive things like this but this kind of offends me by being called offensive.

My money is on Outdoor maintenance

When did we start treating adults like babies?

Cut education spending and give more money to the military? Just means the military will have to start picking up some of the slack.

Ummm what are we calling working in the field now?

Exactly. With the exception of snacks, cell phone, and internet you can get away with no other recurring expenses. If you're smart you can put away a decent amount of money.

Moreover, I’ve met my share of general- and field-grade officers, and one can immediately tell that 9/10 times they’re very intelligent
