That’s hilarious. Everyone is going to start snitching on other programs, making shit up, the same thing tribes did to us in Afghanistan and Iraq. Time to settle some scores, truth be damned. That’s how this will end.
I saw the email...boy do I have some recommendations:
- Wheel chock training simulator to reduce the risk of a 80 million dollar jet falling off a ship
- Obtain an ATO for Signal so we can legally use the app and people like me can shut the fuck up
- Require Congressional approval for uniform changes (Shit, I just put thousands of PEO folks out of a job)
- Fire the SFABs into the sun

I'm surprised one of the big contractors hasn't stolen the IP, made it's own shittier version. Then bought out a sole source deal with stock options to certain politicians.
How did I forget to mention the band? Dismiss the band. If they are going to privatize MWR, they can kick the band out.

Fire them into the sun?
For God sakes man - INTO THE SUN?
Couldn't we just make them spend a long weekend listening to nothing but scratched vinyl Nickelback records on an old monaraul phonograph ?
...maybe even force them to watch all 48 episodes of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" on a continuous loop?
I'm feeling some next tier disdain for the SFAB's - who from the SFAB hurt you?
Can you show me on the doll where the SFAB touched you?

Can we name any substantial SFAB contributions or accomplishments?

Well, I'll have you folks know that "the SFAB's have made substantial contributions to U.S. Army operations and strategic goals since their establishment. The SFABs act as a force multiplier, enhancing the capabilities of partner forces, supporting Combatant Commanders' objectives, and freeing up BCTs to focus on their primary warfighting mission. They are a valuable asset in advancing U.S. strategic objectives and building a more secure and stable world."

ChatGPT is never wrong, bro. I asked it why you liked Nickleback so much, and it gave me this:
Why AWP Likes Nickelback: A ShadowSpear Investigation
“Because somewhere between a 240B, a protein shake, and a bad life choice… Nickelback just hits different.”
For years, elite internet operators and actual operators alike have been haunted by one question that defies tactics, doctrine, and logic:
Why does AWP—respected user, occasional mentor, and frequent dispenser of cyber beatdowns—like Nickelback?
After extensive open-source sleuthing (read: scrolling through posts between rants about rucking standards and commo gear), we believe we’ve uncovered several plausible explanations:
1.
What began as a tongue-in-cheek playlist titled “Cringe PT Jams” soon morphed into a genuine appreciation. One moment he was laughing at “Photograph,” the next he was driving through a thunderstorm screaming “Savin’ Me” like it was a reenlistment ceremony.
2.
Predictable, overproduced, and slightly painful—but you still kind of respect it for getting the job done. AWP claims he once synced a convoy movement timeline to “Burn It to the Ground.” It got approved without changes. Coincidence?
3.
Raspy voice, solid hairline under stress, and gives off strong “shut up and do it” energy. AWP sees in Kroeger a kindred spirit—possibly the only man who could cover Cadence Calls Vol. 1 and not ruin it.
4.
You laugh now, but if you’d spent 9 months in a CHU in Al Asad listening to “All the Right Reasons” on repeat because the supply clerk hoarded the Wi-Fi, you’d start to feel things too. Powerful, confusing things.
5.
AWP is the kind of guy who did MOUT training with live ammo and a broken nose—and smiled through it. So when someone in the barracks said “Real team guys don’t listen to Nickelback,” he doubled down and made it his personality.
Final Word
Some men embrace the suck. AWP? He turns it into a playlist. Nickelback isn’t just a band—it’s the musical background to his journey of range scars, bar fights, and questionable tattoos.
So next time you hear “Rockstar” blaring from an MRAP, don’t judge. Just nod, tighten your chinstrap, and accept that deep down, in some dusty corner of your soul… you like Nickelback too.
And AWP knew it first.
Will be a cool interview....
I know, right? It's almost as epic as one of my back-when-we-still-had-mod-elections smackdowns.
No disparagement to the good SgtMaj, but the premise seems a bit wonky to me. Kinda like the moon landing was staged. The bragging rights alone for whacking UBL was potential political gold for either Bush or Obama. Not to mention the years of gut-wrenching grind and emotional investment by everybody at Alec Station and subsequently CTC.

I like him. He's about 45 minutes from me, I have done some of his classes, very cool dude. But he's getting to be like Jocko, really pushing his BJJ and other branding. I think he's a bit of a nut with some of his assumptions.
