So the Army just ripped off the condom and went raw dog on me. I've had compartment syndrome in both my legs for about a year now. My last PT test was a little over a year ago because of this. I was just told that because the Army Medical system is so loving stupid that not only do I have the possibility of not getting reimbursed for my trips to the hospital (400 miles round trip) that I will also get a needs improvement on my NCOER because I am on profile and haven't taken a pt test regardless that I physically could not walk more than .5 miles without crippling pain. I have two options. Suck it up, or go to a med board. Also, question, who is more of the rear end in a top hat? The dude wearing the uniform at airports or the dude who goes to weddings and funerals in his ASUs?

Dress uniform is free, gently caress if I was renting a tux or some poo poo. Other peoples weddings, well, those bridesmaid's aint gonna bang themselves.

Are you even allowed to give someone a Needs Improvement for a diagnosed medical problem? I wouldn't think so, but I've never seen this issue before. I'd make sure you have a witness in the room when they talk to you about it, or get them to counsel you using that verbiage in writing. At the very least, write an MFR stating what you were told and on what date and get it notarized. Once you've done all that, just take the sweet sweet medboard and hope your crippled rear end gets retired I guess. Unless you enjoy the taste of cock in your mouth on a daily basis now that your chain of command has identified you as the slowest gazelle in the herd. e: five seconds of googling told me that unless you failed the last APFT you took, you should be fine.

Unless you enjoy the taste of cock in your mouth on a daily basis now that your chain of command has identified you as the slowest gazelle in the herd. According to them, the reasoning is this: "can you do your duties?" um yeah? "Can you put on a ruck, march 12 miles, and shoot?" No.... "Then it's a needs improvement for not being able to fulfill all of your duties." And with the research I was able to pull up, they can do it because it's an area I need to improve on regardless that the loving Army prevented me from taking one to begin with. Where did you find your stuff? Cause I'd like to show it to them before I write that MFR. anne frank fanfic posted:The med board is the best thing in the military, of course you take it.

Marketable skills usually help. If youre 25/35/37/38/18 series, you have a clearance, and all your fingers and toes there is absolutely zero reason to have a problem finding a job.

Fiend posted:In 1985 in Ft. Benning, a young recruit at 30th AG had trouble adjusting and attempted suicide by tying the electrical cord of a floor polisher to his neck then throwing the machine out the window. I never met the guy, but it was sworn to me he was in the cycle just before mine and it was the best laugh ever. P sure that's just a standard basic training urban legend, it always happens right before your cycle and there's never any proof. I heard a similar story about a kid that tried to kill himself by jumping off one of the upper tiers at 30th AG right before I got there in 2002. That one was slightly believable, but only because Colby Buzzell was in that cycle and wrote about it in his book My War. Still probably bullshit though. Question for you POG rear end motherfuckers, what was reception like for you? 30th AG on Benning was how I imagine your first day of prison would be like expect you don't get shanked by any homemade knives or wieners. Bunch of dumbshit privates heckling the new arrivals and talking mad poo poo because they had been there a day or two longer. There was even a couple fights because some idiots created rivalries with bays across the way from them and you know you gotta represent for Charlie Bay or whatever the gently caress.

The basic training legend that we had was some private went buck poo poo crazy and stabbed one in the back with a e-tool while he was sleeping. DS's said it was true but w/e. We did have someone try to commit suicide via overdose, and one that was in danger of getting everyone killed at the grenade range. I went to Basic at Ft. Sill, so reception was retarded.

We had a kid try to swan dive off the top bunk at 30th AG. Another kid in the company next to us ate his rifle on the range a couple weeks before we shot. Apparently basic is hard.

I was in Benning, in 1999. Same stories. Only REAL dumb thing I actually witnessed was some kid running a makeshift obstacle course in the bay. He jumped over a rack and tried to slide under the next one. After a couple of times he didn't get down far enough and had a chunk of skin taken off of his shoulder from one of the metal link things under the mattress. He is probably a CSM by now.

In my basic we actually did have one kid stabbed another kid with a tent pole. Apparently in their bay, a sort of gang had formed and they went around beating up/harassing people they didn't like or who they thought didn't pull their weight. This kid had been secretly sharpening the end of one of his tent poles knowing the gang was going to come for him. So one night towards the end of our cycle, in the middle of the night, all the lights come on in our bay and everyone from the upstairs bay comes down into our bay. Apparently there was blood everywhere in the upstairs bay from the stabbing. We had to sit there all night while two CID dudes interviewed everyone involved. Next day we got talked to by the commander and 1SG separately about how disgusted they were and how they would bring the hammer down. The DSs denied encouraging any of the gang's behavior of course. Turns out no one got in trouble. My basic ended about two weeks before Christmas block leave. Some selected MOSs were held over at Jackson including mine. The stabber and one of the gang ringleaders also. Nothing happened to either of them. About three years later when I was outprocessing from Camp Humphreys, I saw the stabber in the Transportation office. He is an E-5 now.

There was a dude in 30th AG who tried to kill himself by slitting his wrists with a ballpoint pen the second loving night we were there. And then there was a kid in another BCT company that ate a bullet at the range in early 2012. To the dude getting a NI on his NCOER re: the APFT. Your CoC cannot do that. It is against the regs (I am way too lazy to look up which ones). The DA PAM for the NCOER even has the loving bullet you are supposed to use if a soldier cannot take the APFT due to a profile. Do not sign your NCOER and take it to IG or JAG.

It's not nearly as exciting as anything you guys have, but I had a guy go catatonic like the 3rd week in basic at Jackson. It was late evening just before bed, we got called to toe the line and we're minus one. Dude's just sitting slumped against a wall, not even blinking. Drill sergeants hosed with him for like a half hour and he never moved. Eventually, some MPs or something dragged him out of the bay by his foot. RE: Reception for POGs, I was part of a pilot program at Jackson in 2006 where you were only at Reception for 1 day and spent 10 weeks at Basic, because soldiers were getting "bad habits in reception". I got there at like 0530, got all my poo poo issued, got my haircut and smartcard, and was standing in a gaggle for the buses with the drill sergeants by 2100. I didn't spend a night at Reception.

My flight to Fort Jackson got delayed overnight so I wound up taking a cab from the Columbia Airport directly to the reception BN. No DS in sight and I wound up getting in-processed by a fat, dirty SPC with ketchup on his ACUs. I also had my cellphone until I got to my BCT company. It wasn't stressful at all.
