I know it's not exactly in the vein of this thread, nor am I a GiP poster (nor really affiliated with the armed forces at all save as someone who sells alcohol to servicemen); but as an individual who has chronicled and has a pretty hefty folder of the stories of notable posters on the SA forums it saddens me to hear that Humper Monkey passed.

Idiot boy just keeps rolling with those punches. Apparently he thinks everyone is going to believe that this is all because he accidentally poked an 8 year old in the vagina while examining a rash. Which doesn't explain the other 2 girls accusing him of misconduct. He's also claiming to have been wounded in combat while in the Marines in 2003, and that he has PTSD. Not that I know everything about his circumstances, but this is the first any of us have heard of it. I'm surprised it took the news this long to mention that he used to work for us, he's been in custody since last June.quote:Greene said he had stopped at his apartment with the girl on the way from Dairy Queen to a playground so she could use the bathroom and so he could find a pair of basketball shorts. But, in the taped interview, Greene said he took the girl’s clothes off in his bedroom to see if the spots had spread. He admitted holding her legs apart and touching her across most of her body, including possibly outside her vagina area, he said. He told the interviewer that he stopped when he heard the girl make a shrieking noise that made him realize she was uncomfortable.

Based on how stupid my brother was, and the stupid things that he stupidly did while being stupid, it isn't necessary for that guy to be a saboteur. Don't bother attributing to malice that which a stupidly stupid idiot does while being stupid. The stupid? It burns.

50 Foot Ant posted:When I say "The Army did not give a gently caress about us" it isn't hyperbole. As far as the Army and DoD was concerned you were just a body to carry your loving equipment into battle. When I was in basic (summer of 2007, I know drat whipper-snapper) the Drill Sergeants would say they only needed to give us four hours of sleep, but the little info packets that got handed out to us said when in the barracks we had to have the opportunity for eight a night and six in the field. Honestly we pretty much got that most of the time, sometimes training would run late, sometimes the DSs would just gently caress with us, but my battery at least didn't get sleep deprived basically at all in basic. Hell the day of the 20k we got up at our usual time, I think either 430 or 400, did some poo poo until about 2 or so, and then they let us rack out, on the floor next to our beds, for about two hours before we had to go march. We got babied compared to some people. Hell even in my actual unit we didn't get screwed too bad on sleep. Sometimes in the field you'd get shorted but usually, especially for drivers, you got the chance for about six on average. I definitely heard the "I ONLY NEED TO GIVE YOU FOUR HOURS!" thing a ton but except for once or twice the only times we got hosed on sleep like that wasn't simply because someone was being an rear end in a top hat. Deployments were a different story, sometimes there just wasn't time to sleep, but eh. friend of the family DEATH TURBO posted:jarhead was pretty realistic in general if I recall correctly it's been a while I thought Jarhead over dramatized a bit but was pretty close. Boredom can be the worst part of deployments sometimes.

It depends a lot too on if you have to do sentry watch or something like that while everyone else is sleeping.

I've heard the four hours thing a couple of times in the past six years I've been in, but really it's tapered off quite a bit. Sure, I've had a couple of 3 or 4 day field ops where I only had 2 or 3 hours a night, but at least with my unit, that was usually a blanket sort of situation. I guess I've been fortunate in not having assholes officers or senior enlisted that go to bed before the troops.

The details are off because of the film industry and the length of time between when the events happened and when the book was written. I've always told people that Jarhead was best in capturing the overall theme of frustrated boredom, and not to get too wrapped up in the biographical details. Half the book is collected urban legends anyway. We never- not once- had our sleep hosed in Basic (Ft Jackson, 2002). After the first week I started to realize how badly the drill sergeant position had been emasculated. Field time in the regular Army? Pffftttt. Get it where you can find it, motherfucker.

Wasabi the J posted:And yet "Jarhead" and "The Hurt Locker" gets mistaken for reality. Come on man, those movies aren't even close. Hurt Locker sucked because they were so over the top with it and the newspapers and movie reviewers ate that poo poo up and starting saying it was an accurate picture of what was going on in Iraq. I've known a few marines that were in Desert Storm and they said Jarhead was pretty accurate. I've never come across any EOD guys that say Hurt Locker is even remotely accurate, and almost everyone in the military as a whole recognized it as a fantasy piece of poo poo. Hurt Locker could've been an awesome story if they went more of a Jarhead route instead of a James Bond 3 man wrecking crew disarming bombs and getting sick head shots with sniper rifles. 50FA your stories are insane and highly entertaining, thanks! Huge bummer about Humper Monkey but it's good that the gift of story telling runs in the family.

50 Foot Ant posted:We usually learned to work around them. Officers you just blow sunshine up their rear end till you get it done so they can collect their medals and bragging rights about how hard their platoon works. NCO's you just do whatever stupid poo poo they blather on about until they go back to their air conditioning and then get poo poo done the right way. You killed a man and your post was long and boring too and kept going on and on and it was real bad. And you killed a man in real life or like to make it seem like you did by typing about how you killed a man on the internet.

Kind of a huge tool as a person and had a massive stick up his rear end, but a very competent officer. The only remarkably incompetent infantry officers I've met were really nerdy white guys who thought they were too smart to play Army.
