It happened right as I was leaving so I'm not sure what happened afterwards. Thankfully we were just doing local ops and not deployed.

In the A school barracks I went to, one night when I was on duty the female deck watch's (or whatever it was called) water broke. Now that's some loving irony.

Never had a female Deck NCO, and now I can see why I'm glad I didn't. Back to story time: Doing my rounds as the Duty NCO, I happen upon two young things watching television in one of the lounges. It's roughly 7 loving pm and this chick is giving a good ol' handy to her "man" in the lounge on the sly. That is, if you consider being in full view of a windowed door to a main hallway on the sly. I gave them about ten seconds to notice me before scaring the everloving poo poo out of them when I opened the door. Hell, I even waved through the window at them. Situational awareness and common sense are not virtues either of them had acquired yet. Last one for the night: We had a certain female that was known battalion-wide as the most promiscuous of whores and the keeper of all things venereal disease related. We would get fresh students in every other week, with at least two per group of fresh meat having to hit up medical to seek attention for their swelling man-parts. It got bad enough that we modified the indoc brief to include this individual as patient zero for herpes etc. All males were warned, as well as females, to stay away from said individual. (She was also one of the main customers as well as a drug runner for the guy with the drug shoes from the earlier post) All was well for a time, the indoc worked for our guys, but apparently not so well for another section. Myself and a few of my peers are walking down for yet another brief about a brig run when we observe a normal uniform inspection. Normal except for the one guy who cannot stay still and is scratching his crotch with the fury of a rabid coyote. While we all wanted to immediately jump this kids poo poo for not standing still in formation, the secondary instructor for this class saw us and rushed up to stop us. He then lays it out for us: they have the same indoc as we do, and this kid thinks that he's immune to STDs because he didn't catch one from his last girlfriend or some other poo poo like that. So he hooks up with our special diseased snowflake with the intention of proving his theory, as well as making an honest woman out of her. Yeah, he wanted to marry her apparently. Long story short (and I'm sorry for the wall of text), he contracted three STDs and got depressed because the whore told him he was awful in the sack. Then he failed out of the course and became a water purification specialist.

When I was in 1/2 SCR, they stopped keeping track of the STD numbers because the count was getting embarrasingly huge. I got pretty good at swabbing dicks.

TheUnhorse posted:How does telling everyone about joette rotten crotch not violate hippa in some way? HIPAA covers healthcare providers. A medic couldn't give a briefing about her saying, "Watch out for this rotten crotch; I can't count how many times I've treated this whore for the clap." It doesn't stop your reputation from getting around by other means.

But if a bunch of privates come in complaining of swollen manbits, and they agree to release their information, that wouldn't violate HIPPA when they compare sexual histories and figure out who Gonorrhea Mary is. Edit: vvv That. Just because there is no HIPPA violation doesn't mean singling out someone in a brief is a good thing. Guesticles fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Jun 8, 2013 |

Regardless of medical records or not, an official briefing including information like that about a specific person would be hugely unprofessional and the kind of thing that should get someone in deep poo poo.

Look up what HIPAA covers and it should be pretty clear that we crossed no legal boundaries there. Also, this female was attempting to get out of the military, so she made it abundantly clear that she was spreading disease. By abundantly clear, I mean that she flat out told the 1stSgt that she was the one getting everyone sick. Additionally, she did release her records to the command for further proof of her "mental instability" and all other issues. It's really not uncommon for military members to release their records to the command to put a nail in the coffin of doubt. Surely you've dealt with people you thought were malingering until they showed you proof? Besides, why would I make this poo poo up? It's not funny if it's fake. drat, I thought this place was all about love, trust, and hugs.

Fair enough, I didn't look at it that way. Only time for one of these today, but it's short: During the mandatory Motorcycle Safety Course there is a day to bring your bike in for inspection before the live ride days. One guy brings in his brand new fire-engine red/chrome everything else stretched cruiser. This is not only his first bike, this is the first week of his life that's he's ridden one. The instructor advises him to try out one of the course bikes, that way if he drops it or something it's no big deal, plus there's really no way it's going to make it through the s-turn portion of the course with a passing grade. The guy declines, and the rest of us attempt to tell him the same thing. Day 1 of the riding days, he's doing ok for the most part. The box-turn drills were impossible for him, but everything else was fine up until the s-turn. To his credit, he leaned in with everything he had to make the first turn, then scraped the chrome off of the running bars on the right side and made some decent deep scratches in the bars too. Sure, it's not the best story, but the total dismissal of advice and what happened after still make me cringe.

That reminds me of when some dude on a crotch rocket was tailgating me on stop and go traffic down a regular street. I kept trying to get this guy to get in front of me because I knew something stupid was going to happen and I didn't want him to come through my rear window. Well, fuckface is behind me and right on my rear end, a car pulls out in my front of me because no one knows how to drive anywhere, I hit the brakes, brosef is on my rear end, brakes, his back tire kicks up and hangs there for what seems like forever and then his bike comes crashing down, pinning his leg and I hear him thud onto the street. I get out and run over and I'm like holy poo poo what the gently caress are you okay why the gently caress were you up my rear end and he's just repeating 'awwwww mannnnnnnn' over and over. It looked like all the plastic on his bike shattered. I help him get his leg out from under the bike and move him off to the curb, ask him if he wants an ambulance or what and he's like 'nah I'm okay man, I'll be alright' so I'm like welp, gently caress it, you're an idiot for tailgating a car in lovely traffic on a stupid bike.

One of our chiefs bought a brand-new still in the crate Ducati. I think it was a 748. Anyway, he had it for a few years and decided to sell it. Some junior nub bought it, and the fucker laid it down the first time he rode it.

Oh man motorcycle idiots So on my boat we had an electrician who was this five foot tall Japanese dude. He had a CBR600RR and could ride the poo poo out of it, turn on a dime, make it do whatever he wanted. He was not an idiot, but he infected the whole boat with motorcycle fever. His roommate, a big old white guy, saw what he could do, decided he wanted a bike, buys a V-Max. Slides it off a curve into a rock, smashes it up, gets it fixed, sells it, never rides again. We were shipwrecked in Virginia over the summer and it was perfect riding climate. I'd been eyeballing something like a Nighthawk 750 for a while, but I go to a dealer and fall in love with the Z1000. A naked literbike. I call up to the dealer near me in CT and buy one sight unseen. After we get back I didn't make it out of the dealer lot before dropping it. I'd laid it down before finishing the breakin (hah!) period. Drove it around for years with a tank dent and scratches. A good buddy of mine sees how much fun I'm having on the Kawi and decides he has to have a GSX-R1000. For a first bike. He eventually totals it but it was mostly not his fault (guy ran a stop sign) so he replaces it with a CBR1000RR. Only rides it to commute on the highway. Another guy on the boat decides he wants a cruiser, finds an old Honda 600 Shadow for sale in base housing, has me go with him to look at it. It's in terrible 'been sitting unmoving outside for 10 years' condition, but he pays easily twice what it's worth, swears to me he's ridden dirtbikes before so he can ride it home. Zooms out this guys driveway, doesn't turn, jumps the curb on the other side of the street, beelines towards a fire hydrant, dodges the hydrant at the last minute just to catch it with his knee (no protective gear, of course.) I end up riding it home for him while his knee swells up to softball size. He might have ridden it once after that. Another guy decides he needed a raked out chopper. No one ever saw what he got, because he bought it, tried to ride it home, and totalled it on a highway on-ramp. Apparently took out a drat near $20k loan to buy it, too. Most of these guys didn't take the MSF even though you needed it to ride on base. All of these guys were at least E-5.

What is it about motorcycles? I don't want a motorcycle because I know I'll be unsafe on it. I know how I drive my car, I'm going to ride a bike the same way and end up dead, so I don't want one. Yet every time someone around me hears "motorcycle" they go crazy and think they need to get one. A friend of mine just had a baby and decided that he now has to buy a motorcycle because it will be so cool. I don't know if he's ever ridden one.

Mil types are obviously going to have a stronger element of thrill-seeking in their personality, motorcycling can appeal to that. It's fairly inexpensive to get into compared to many other thrill-oriented hobbies, and is fairly mil-friendly in that you don't need to take leave, travel, etc to enjoy it. There is also a non-trivial practical aspect - if you're in Cali, watch bike guys show up in the morning, blow past the car line at the gates, and snag the good parking spots. They're also good on gas, fairly cheap to operate, etc. If you operate them responsibly, take safety classes, wear safety gear etc, the risks can be mitigated extensively, just like the military shows and tells you to do with everything. Ask in Cycle Asylum if you're genuinely curious. That said, there's a lot of idiocy about "gotta have a bike" in the same manner as dudes thinking they've gotta get moto tats and wear Tapout everywhere. Or they think they're not real 'murrica if they don't have a noisy Harley. The guy with a baby just got hit in the face with the hot urine stream of adulthood and is grasping at something to make him feel young, that happens too.

When I was going for my paramedic certification I had to do clinicals in a hospital ER. My first patient was a dude who was popping wheelies on a highway on his bike. He drove past a cop while in mid-wheelie, got surprised when he saw the cop, and fell backwards. He slid about 60 feet on pavement, grass, and gravel. On his rear end. He had no more rear end after that. It was gone. He was brought in to the ER, and we had to scrub the gaping wounds where his rear end once was to get the gravel and pavement out of his flesh. I never wanted to buy a bike after that day.

Yeah, there are multiple points of abject stupidity in that story. "Wear proper gear" is good advice that would have literally saved his rear end, but when you're dealing with someone dumb enough to be popping wheelies on the highway, and someone hooning around without the situational awareness to be alert for road dangers (like cops) they're going to end up a smear sooner or later. If they didn't have a bike they'd probably be dumb and hurt themselves another way. People like that also tend to be full of excuses as to why it wasn't their fault, instead of owning up to it and being a lesson for other people to learn from.

At least once a week on 880 around Oakland, I'm passed by some guy on a bike going 100+ mph, splitting lanes, while wearing short shorts, a t-shirt, flip-flops, and a helmet smaller than a yamaka. It kills me that I know these assholes aren't organ donors, either.

Every time I seriously consider getting a bike, some E6 or E7 with twenty deployments, a family, and teaches special ed football on the weekends gets annihilated by some dependent running a red light. The thought of getting depend-o-flattened is the only thing holding me back from getting one. God knows I need to get something with better than the 6mpg I'm getting currently.
