A quick definition of ton:

Term: TON

Definition: A ton is a unit of weight used to measure heavy objects. There are two types of tons: the long ton and the short ton. A long ton is equal to 2,240 pounds, while a short ton is equal to 2,000 pounds. To give you an idea of how heavy that is, imagine trying to lift a car or a small elephant - that's about a ton!

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A unit of weight measurement that can refer to either:

Long ton: 20 long hundredweight (2,240 pounds), or 1.016 metric tons.
Short ton: 20 short hundredweight (2,000 pounds), or 0.907 metric tons.

For example, if a shipment of goods weighs 4,000 pounds, it would be equal to 2 short tons or 1.814 metric tons.

The term "ton" is commonly used in industries such as shipping, construction, and agriculture to measure the weight of large objects or quantities of materials. Understanding the difference between long and short tons is important for accurate measurement and calculation.

@m10: 110% agree, china has a truly amazing HUMINT network and espionage skills that much of our military is infiltrated or committing willful negligence of duty in prevent and protection. @babycat: PSYOP is pretty small on the AD side but I left the community to go play with Apaches and drones in 2018/19

soap

10:36

Maybe see where you get in, then R&R if you feel it’s necessary?

Psyop guys will try and convince you they are like secret masterminds. I had this one guy whose wife would call me every week and she would tell me about how her husband just like disappeared and could not be found cus he was a specialy trained psyop officer. I found his phone number and called him the same day online. That woman was gaslit so hard.

is t4 HYSC? yeah prob your odds are not too great for those with 3.7 and 171 unless you’re really extraordinary

I agree with soap on this one, just wait it out and see where you get into. You could always transfer (although I wouldn't go in with the intention of transferring)

soap

10:37

Transferring is hard and you don’t get money. I wouldn’t do anything with the intent of transferring

[] texaslawhopefully

10:38

Disagree with the transfer. But, yeah a 3.7, 171 is not HYSC material—so unless you’re a Rhodes scholar, or something it is highly unlikely.

@m10: most of PSYOP are guys who failed SFAS and Ranger so much so they can't go back and think being SOCOM makes them SF. I loved the cultural side of it all, going to embassies and running influence operations. Doing KLEs and training with foreign militaries was amazing. Learned so much about the world by talking to those who live all over it. Then got lucky and worked with a Marine HIT overseas and would tag along when they kidnapped people to do some stuff lol The rest of the time was a lot of reports and KLEs

t4 is a concept being perpetuated by Big Chicago

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: Did not know that but it makes sense. That sounds like a cool career. I would have liked to have done that too. I really would have just liked to have gone OCONUS once.

I was talking to this 88H in a bar last weekend and he had some wild story about being interrogated by the FBI and CIA and shit to get a top-secret clearance or something so he could drive a forklift around Europe, Korea, and Africa. It sounded like a bunch of bullshit to me but do you know if something like that could be true?
