Reminds me of an OER they had pinned up on the wall at Armor school. It was a DO NOT PROMOTE for a 2LT who lost his weapon three times...in theater.

Dude in my company lost his M4 in Iraq.

He'd leaned it against the tire of his MRAP and forgot it was there.

And then drove over it.

Had exactly the same thing happen. Was it a CBRNE dude on Taji?

I was acting troop 1SG and had to go see the BDE CSM about it. All he did was yell at me about my sideburns.

We've had a couple of LMRs run over by firetrucks. They look mostly undamaged on the outside, except the LCDs turn completely black.

Had an E5 promoteable leave his M4, complete with sight, PEQ, grip etc, on the roof of a hilux and drive away on KAF. He either didn't notice or didn't say anything and just went to bed that night. The next day it was returned to his unit by the MPs, except minus all it's gizmos. Needless to say, he never made E6.

As most of you know losing a weapon in bct/ait is bad... very bad.

A kid dropped his rifle out a cattle car window because he was pointing it at cars driving by saying "BLAAAP". He lost his grip on his M4 and it hit the ground. He didnt say anything for three days. Luckly It was sitting in a somewhat Secluded part of the road and only had corroded half the barrel instead of the entire barrel. Goergia rainstorms :commissar:

Regarding retarded boot camp clothes: the navy kids at boot these days design and pay for class t shirts and hoodies. It's usually got their class number and roster of graduates along with some really moto poo poo going on in the background.

I have it on good authority that 100% of the people who buy and wear these things are idiot assholes.

Edit: to be clear this is an official thing as far as I can tell, which means it's a major scam and someone higher up is getting kickbacks from the screen printing company.

I don't think the Article 15 was particularly harsh but he and his PSG (of course not platoon leader!) got GOMARS and bars to re-enlistment. The E5 just got out and the PSG just said gently caress it and retired because he was over 20 anyway.

I bought a Platoon shirt and a bunch of other decent shirts from a printing company. 100$ of fireguard $$ aint too bad, I wont wear it though, just the shirts that have non retarded designs.

And he would just sound off without raising his rifle, and when reporting to CQ we just said the correct number of rifles/pax. We didnt have weapon racks we just laid em out dress right dress and called it a day. He would just carry a quitter/"im a crazy"s until the fireguard one night was told to count them and he fessed up.

Literally stopped happening after week 6. We didnt have racks after week 9, FTX was weapons count prior to leaving, and after our 12 mile march, he dropped his poo poo on buddy live fire coming back on a fri, sat/sun was 1 DS on cq. None of our platoon dses came in for 3 days.

Jesus, people leave weapons everyfuckingwhere.


On one deployment-
E4 leaves his weapon in a hadji shop in Kuwait. Goes on to leave it in three different portashitters in seven months in theater...after losing his weapin three times during mob. Dude was like 5'2" carrying an A2 with 203. Somehow lost that loving thing all the time. Then was confused why they wouldn't issue him a 9. (They ended up giving him one anyway- which he lost twice) No punishment.


Different E4 leaves his weapon against the Humvee's tire on Anaconda. The base takes IDF (nowhere close mind you) convoy commander decides to leave early. Trooper leaves his weapon, runs it over, doesn't report it for two days. Finally gets reported, and is found on Anaconda with a bent barrel and stripped of rails, optics, PEQ-2, buttstock and the lower parts. Jack poo poo was done to punish him.


E7 Squadleader of SPC Stripped Gat rolls out on an imaginary QRF mission with his M4 on the hood. It falls off on the way out the gate. Cue the Marines who work gate trying to find out who went out and why through the TOC, and asking for the PLT channel to contact them. TOC asks why, Marines try to dodge the questions. After about ten minutes back and forth, the Marines finally just outright tell the TOC the responding unit (who had no mission or reason to roll out) dropped a rifle. No punishment.

Oh, and he's led you onto the artillery impact range.

I wound up in a wrecked hummer because of this rear end in a top hat's brother.

And I bitched out by the XO for teaching their other brother how to forecast because our flight captain told me to. Apparently the enlisted aren't supposed to show the brass how to do their job even when told to. :shrug:

What I am saying here is, gently caress Lts and XOs. Lts are half as smart as E3s and 4000 times more arrogant. And XOs are the retards who were promoted to the position because its where they can gently caress the least up.
