Businesslike Doodles.
Added 2025-06-23 16:00:04 +0000 UTCGet back to business. Guess what class we had when this doodle was done!?
Probably some Sergeant Major came up with the edict.
This is Beetle Bailey as a crusty 20-year+ Sergeant Major, my version of a comic done by Fort Familyroom over at Miltoons.
"Two MUTA-6's can eliminate a MUTA-4"
A "MUTA" is a Military Unit Training Assembly. It is a 4-hour block of time for training and pay purposes; this is how National Guard and Reserve soldiers divide up their weekends. We technically have one "MUTA" in the morning and one in the afternoon, for a whole day of training. If you train all day Saturday, that's 2 MUTAs. Saturday and Sunday together, 2 MUTAs each, are 4 MUTAs.
If you have two MUTA-6 training weekends (all day Friday, all day Saturday, and all day Sunday) you have a MUTA-6, and for accounting purposes, that means you can cancel one of your regularly scheduled MUTA-4s and give the troops a month off from drill attendance.
This was how I envisioned it.
And that's enough of that!
