Xviii Airborne Corps Puns

Before I submit this, I would love to hear feedback from r/army on this issue and how I could possibly improve upon this idea. Thanks everyone in advance.

>BLUF: By increasing the quality of life of, and actively seeking to fulfil our soldier’s needs, we can cause a dramatic decrease in suicide across our ranks.

>Our soldiers’ needs are not being fulfilled to the standard and quality which is needed to maintain mental health within the force. Abraham Maslow famously created the idea of a hierarchy of needs. Within this idea, the first step, basic physiological needs, must be correctly satisfied in order to ascend one’s sense of wellbeing up through this hierarchy. Our soldiers’ basic physiological needs are not being satisfied; chiefly food, sleep, and shelter. XVIII Airborne Corps can make strides towards correcting this fundamental flaw with maintaining our forces behavioral health by prioritizing soldiers receiving quality nutritious food, educating and emphasizing to commanders that sleep is a top priority, and constructing barracks and on-post family housing that soldiers will be proud to live in and is maintained to the highest living standard.

>Military dining facilities have long awaited an overhaul. Majority of single soldiers don’t utilize these facilities and food they are forced to pay for. Pizza, McDonalds, fast food, bags of chips; this is what our single soldiers consume on a daily basis. More than 71% of America’s youth would fail to join the military due to obesity, and obesity plagues our force as well. Education of proper nutrition should be given to our soldiers regularly. Dining facilities should have better ease of access, such as extending hours and allowing “meal prep service” to be served to better facilitate the chaotic military life.

>Most soldiers report they get less than 6 hours of sleep a night during duty. The CDC recommends adults to get more than 7 hours of sleep a night. 24-hour duties, such as CQ or Staff Duty, are archaic practices that can easily be reworked into 3, 8-hour shifts, or done away with entirely. Some command teams mandate, through policy letters, work weeks that exceed 60 hours on a normal week. The lack of quality sleep is detrimental to XVIII Airborne Corps’ success and mental health.

>This year, 2021, the quality of military housing, specifically family housing, has been front stage in many media outlets due to the congressional hearings on th

I'm not in the Army, but I was just doing some reading while going down a Wikipedia rabbit hole. I noticed that some of the units under the XVIII Airborne Corps are not listed as airborne units. Is this correct? Or is this just a Wikipedia oversight? Also, would people who work in Corps headquarters be airborne qualified?

I’ve been in the 16th MP BDE for almost a year now. As those of you who have been in an organization part of XVIII Airborne Corps know, they “require” that you run a 4-mile in 36 minutes and do the 10K in 2 hours, which is all fine and dandy. The problem I have is, my CoC wants me to counsel Soldiers for not meeting that standard. I have looked everywhere for anything that mandates that, from my BN, to BDE, and up to the Corps, with no luck (and yes, I’ve consulted my CoC, with no luck). I am not ok with counseling my Soldiers for failing to meet a standard that doesn’t exist, to my knowledge. Can anyone confirm whether that standard does/does not exist? If so, where? I want to be able to reference it. And “training guidance” isn’t a legitimate answer.

Edit: I know what a counseling is folks. I’ve been doing this for a while just like y’all have. I don’t need advice, tips, explanations, etc. on anything related to counselings. Some of you provide good points, but not what I need. I JUST want to know if the Fit to Fight standard is written anywhere. Thanks.

My orders are 0018 HQ Corps and H( WAUKAA). I was medically dropped from RASP and I'm going here. Anyone know what exactly my orders mean?

I do know I'm going to the XVIII airborne corp but that's it. Any help would be awesome!

Greetings, Soldiers!

Ya fellow redditor just submitted a mental health web app idea to the Army's “Dragon’s Lair” (à la Shark Tank) innovation contest.

If this looks like an idea that you can get behind, I'd really appreciate your support with a "like” (on the NSIN web site), so that it would hopefully make it to the next round.

Thank you.
