As an example, we're integrated into the force protection plan down here, which is run by the 82nd. Despite us already having executed several real FOB defense drills, they want me to do unilateral rehearsals without any of the combat arms elements, complete with start/finish emails, photos, and an AAR this afternoon. And they told me about it at 10am.

you might be getting #forceshaped by your stateside command.

Well, being blinded is an automatic 20 rating.

On the other hand they will try to pull the "Not service connected" card. So its your call.

Absolutely. I envy you because I had to pay for my PRK; I could never navigate the paperwork to get it done as a reservist. Just be aware that you won't be doing poo poo for about five days. Your eyes will be too hosed up to even watch a movie, read a paper, browse the internet, etc. I almost went loving bananas until I decided 'gently caress it, I'll just get drunk'.

The first day afterward wasn't too bad, but once your cornea starts to heal it's loving awful for day 2 and day 3.

I paid for it out of pocket, and I honestly think it was some of the best money I've spent.

On the other hand, a real doctor fucks up the surgery and you can make millions, military doc fucks it up and you get a lovely monthly stipend

Do military doctors even do LASIK/PRK? I thought they sent you off post to a civilian.

My PRK was done by some military doc but was also being supervised by two civilian nurses, so it's probably whatever the hospital deems fit to let jam things into your eyeholes.

They've been doing it at Bragg for years, at this point it's almost an industrial assembly line type thing there. My one eye has started to decrease again after four years, but it's still one of the best decisions I ever made.

is the service requirement for corrective eye surgery at Womack still 8 months? I tried getting it before I got out when I had like 7 months left but APPARENTLY when the dude that made those decisions returned from Afghanistan a few months prior he arbitrarily decided to up the service requirement.

I don't exactly remember the requirements but I know that I was still under the old ones but those fuckers changed it without telling anyone and DQ'd me. That's the sort of thing the post commander should blast out to the brigades/batts/companies and have everyone briefed on as a heads up considering the popularity of the procedure but, you know, gently caress soldiers.

I think this was like late 2012 when it was changed.

I did get to the reception desk like ten minutes before closing, so the fuckin civilian probably just told me that to make me go away.

Pretty sure if you check your clothing record it'll tell you whether you turn those items in for ETS/PCS. One of the columns on the right side of the page with a either "Y" or "N" in it.

I don't think I've ever seen someone get as mad as the guy who was PCSing with me that got turned away from CIF two times for his sleeping bag being "dirty" (it wasn't, gently caress CIF) and then the third time around someone next to him spilled a bottle of water on it and CIF was all "Welp can't take it not clean".

I honestly believe the indecision of who he wanted to beat the ever loving poo poo out of more was the only thing that prevented either one from getting an rear end whooping.

The CIF civilian gkt extremely angry when I pulled the cover off of my ACH and handed it over instead of the helmet, directly in front of him and pointed out that my hand receipt said to only turn in the cover.
That and all my poo poo being hosed up. I just handed in a xerox of my Purple Heart orders and said that it got hosed up in Iraq. I only got away with it because it was 2005 and a ton of dudes were pulling the same poo poo.

I bet is the real reason why people on post go on murdering sprees. CIF turn in.

Good people deserve good things.

Till someone lets the winter in and the dying begins, because Old Dark Places attract Old Dark Things.
When I left Germany when we were all running off like rats off a sinking ship, the CIF civvy was this German guy reading a porno mag. Walked in, said "I'm ETSing." he said "Ja, ja, over there, just drop it all, sign here." I did what he told me, he stamped my poo poo, I left the next day.

When I left Hood the guy at CIF tried to be an rear end in a top hat, but I was given like 72 hours to clear post, so my 1SG told me drop that poo poo in the supply room, had the SMG sign a waiver, and off I went.

When my wife left Hood, oh holy poo poo, they tried to make her buy new ammo pouches because hers were damaged, and poo poo like that. Took her 4 days to clear CIF. I was with her and some SFC lost his poo poo on the civvies. I mean flat out screaming at them.

When I cleared CIF I gave them a bunch of extra plunder that I'd accumulated so other then a couple ammo pouches they wanted re-washed dude gave me credit for turning in a bunch of poo poo I didn't have.

Also, today's my last day, final out in the morning :toot:
