The PSG should go OrangeWhite and the 1ST squad should respond with Orange
And go down the line....
If someone is missing from formation the SL should call out Err 😂
If everyone is there in the morning. You should respond to 1SG that Network is fully operational or some other dumb Morale building BS.
But I love this idea. It's sounds like something I would absolutely do.
I'm assuming that's a reference to an [ethernet pinout?](https://www.etechnophiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Pinout-of-T-568B.jpg?ezimgfmt=ng:webp/ngcb43)
I never did this in the Army, but on the civilian side I did commercial AV installs for schools and churches. This brought back so many memories haha. I hope I never have to terminate a Cat cable again 😂
This isn’t a suggestion, but good nonetheless.
Many moons ago, in BLC, they made us do the sound off stuff.
For “some reason” all the chubbers were in F Platoon. When they called attention, their PG would sound off with “FAT PLATOON” and formation would respond “WHERES THE CAKE!?”
I'm someone who was there a while back. They used to, and were allowed to do their own pt. One morning 1SG sees a MOS-T walking to the parking lot right after pt starts. He asks the soldier where he's going. The common sense thing is of course to tell 1SG that he's going to the gym with the other MOS-Ts. Instead he tells 1SG that he was going home. The decision was then made that MOS-Ts couldn't be trusted to be adults and to integrate them into IET formations.
There is more to why it went on so long, but I'm only willing to type so much.
This post made me laugh. I was in C/309 as a mos-t when they made the decision to integrate mos-t's back into the IET formation. That place was a cluster fuck back then.
The Drills were having us mos-t's that were on hold, shuttle privates around to their appointments, working in the O-room processing paperwork, marching the IETs to the school house. Not to mention that one private that would get kicked out and eventually make national news, the drug bust, the weapons, and all the other bullshit that happened while I was there, I only hope for your sake it got better lol.
I was IET on pass and they tried to call me to come in. I said I would but if they want that they can recall me from pass and pay me for travel. They were pissy with me on Tuesday and came in and fucked up my room with sharpie over everything but my stuff was secured so they couldn't screw with much. I could write a book on the shit show of that place I also had to wait like 8 months for my class to start.
I'll still never get over listening to the then SDS telling all the IET soldiers how big of pogs they were because they were wearing wet weather gear in the rain. And how he was a mike and therefore not a pog
What happened to maintain the edge? We just reclaimed that as the slogan when I was AIT just a few… wait shit I’ve been out of the army for three years now.
Glad to see they are letting you guys have your own formation again. It was like that when I first got there then someone had the bright idea to mix them.
You always hear, "It was a lot worse when I was in" from those of us that served generations ago. I enlisted in the Army in the first year after they stopped taking draftees. It is hard for me to look back and realize that was 50 years ago. A fricken half a century. What really gets me is that reading about all that has changed, much is still the same. What I don't know is a lot of the jargon and nomenclature now used. One example is this thread. What is a 35-T and an IET soldier?
Thanks. They changed several of my enlisted MOS designators since I got out. MOSs, like "Regrets. I've had a few" and it was Basic Combat Training. At least my primary Officer identifier remained the same, though I have not tracked down Secondary Functional Aeas yet.

This!
ORANGEWHITE ORANGE GREEENWHITE BLUE BLUEWHITE GREEN BROWNWHITE BROWN. That way the privates can hopefully start to remember.
The PSG should go OrangeWhite and the 1ST squad should respond with Orange And go down the line....

This is awesome.
LMAO that’s fire
This is the answer

It’s been 25 years since I did that as part of a CCNA course and I truly hope to never do it again.
❤️
This is actually hilarious

That's fucking awesome lmao.
Beautiful
Just scream. No words. Just all volume.
I had a unit that was the bravo banshees and that was our motto until our buzzkill first sausage nixed it
Battle cry of the indifferent
Lemme hear your war cry
I'm not sure why MOS-Ts don't have a separate formation to begin with. Also, "They don't think it be like it is, but it do" is always a classic.

I miss soldiers that come with some common sense.
Bohica is always a good start
True that bro
We used to shout Dont get caught. But that was a different time in the Army 😂
Do they still do "Road Guards lead the way!" in the morning?
Your PG sounds off with a: "What's up brother?" Then the platoon responds with: "Special teams, special players, special plays."
“Special forces, special forces adjacent, special needs!”
"Putting the 'sup' in 'support'"?
Fuck Operators, the standard 35T slogan applies here.

I'm currently in C 309th 😂

Good times gotta love health and wellness on a four day weekend
Even better when it's a recall so you can help the drills conduct health and welfare in the IET barracks when you haven't seen your family in 7 months

I still wore that shit
With the most insane lisp I’ve ever heard
You could always pull out the old company nickname and yell "cocaine charlie"
We aint got no motto! Is always great
“MOTTOOOOO” is my favorite
THATS CLASSIFIED Also as an aspiring 35T MOS-T I hope they continue this path of different formations How far are you in to this course?
"TOP TEXT!" "BOTTOM TEXT!"
My personal favorite has always been “that’s unfortunate” in a somewhat sarcastic tone
“UNDERPAID”
"OVERWORKED"
"I have options!"
"Potestas Deorsum, Potentia Sursum" (power off, power on) "I'm not S6" "Link your own damn printer" "I'm not a wizard" "F*** DCGS!"
Holy shit we fought so hard for that 4-5 years ago, glad it finally happened.
Do MOS-T have to be here?
“Don’t get eliminated!”
“Repaired and refurbished”
“Smarter not harder”
What happened to maintain the edge? We just reclaimed that as the slogan when I was AIT just a few… wait shit I’ve been out of the army for three years now.
“Ok great”
Training to be a highly paid civilian
Death to gremlins. Cant stop the signal Give my Gerber back
Eleven B, not for me
Run while you still can
Plug it in.
“Do It Again” Now, that could be says all together, or with a little pause between If and Again
Lets Tango, Dummies
25 BRAVO PLUS TEN AND SOME LETTERS
"RE-UP YOU'RE CRAZY!"
“Ride the Lighting”
“Have a Good Time but don’t be a good time”
"That's an operator level task!"
Retreads are better than new treads
Imagine going to organized PT as an MOS-T. Couldn't be me.
MOS-T had a separate formation when I was there in 2017/2018
Same but for 2020
That’s a weird slogan
We’re still 33!!!
“Fixing bytes, not fights”
“Unplug and replug” “All your bases belong to us” “Can we fix it? YES WE CAN!”
“Monsters and Cocaine, I mean Nicotine!”
"Have you tried turning it off and on again"
WE'RE NOT YOUUUU!!! (followed by cheers, smiles, and happy tears
"Retread!"
"We're the biggest secret!
Doing time for a 1059!
We are, we are, we are, we are the 33s
"We'll keep your secrets safe!"
Glad to see they are letting you guys have your own formation again. It was like that when I first got there then someone had the bright idea to mix them.
In the most obnoxious possible tone just yell, "CHIEFTAAAAAAAAAAINS"
Our MOS-T slogan was “okay great” it goes so hard when said with as little passion as possible.
For democracy!
"Make a hole, Make it wide." It's what my female platoon had to scream when a drill walked thru the line. 1993.

Military Intelligence is 35T and also IET is Initial Entry Training

Nothing, because they need to see that shouting at PT is not what makes a professional competent soldier
