Has there been any word on when the new uniform pattern will be phased in?

Tie a buffer power cord around your neck then throw the buffer and yourself out of a second story barracks window.

I've heard that multicams will be allowed to be worn in the interim, but I suspect that's just a rumor started by the retards in my unit that threw away their ACUs before we left CONUS.

Yeah a bunch of people trashed them because they "read about it in Army times" and didn't want to spend the $20 to mail $500 worth of uniforms home (which you can claim on your travel voucher), despite our insistence that until the official word came, we'd still be wearing ACUs. You can't fix stupid.

There were kids who threw their ACUs away right after we turned blue, it was great. I have 16 Short-R tops and Medium short trousers now.

Why would I not have a bunk? They're rooms ontop of the building where the soldiers train, 1 bunk, 1 wall locker, rest of the space is free for usage, which i have utilized as a desk space and area where I can stretch out prior to Pt formation

I'm getting the image that he's claiming to live on the top floor of whatever lovely old starship barracks or whatever. Literally in BCT for his entire first duty station. The GiP example of what not to do.

You're at Benning; go volunteer for regiment. I imagine being stuck as BCT cadre for your entire contract is enough motivation to not quit. There should even be a recruiter right there on Sand Hill, they're more than eager to get warm bodies.

He needs the extra room for his MRE collection; the uniforms are probably what he accepts from the kiddies for dip when they run out of cash.

lol, nah they never run out of cash,
Oh poo poo PAY DAY In 6 DAYS gently caress yeah im going to make massive dosh on the 1st - the 5th. Only another $15,000 to save up until my Mustang will be a reality, sitting infront of the Battalion parking lot so E5s can see me get into it thinking "HAHA idiot private bought a mustang, think of his car payments, they must be half his paycheck" WELL gently caress YOU HAHAHAHAHA PAID IN FULL BITCH

If I make around 2 or 3 grand a month off of dip cigarettes and candy I should have enough to buy a loving house at the end of my 3 years, or a nice Lambo, whichever is the first impulse when I wake up thinking "gently caress, another 3 years to go"

as I count my 20$ bills I have started to realize that I actually like being a bct cadre. It's fun, and profitable as gently caress for a piece of poo poo drug pusher like myself.

Spur rides over, success. Drank so much water to stay hydrated that I od'd and began puking everything out 3/4ths through. 10/10 would not shave tail again, we're holding another one later in the year where we get to be cadre, the cycle of hazing enriching history into cavalrymen continues.

gently caress the NBC and medical Lanes.

Anansi, hey there man, be careful with that poo poo or you'll end up as a red/green stripe message on the wall in front of our training room.

worth the mustang + apartment $$. besides No one i've sold to even knows my real name. I stole some kids acu name tapes so it's not like I'm in any real danger, and I sell in mass quantity to a few individuals, like I sell logs for 100$, they flip them for 200. And I have a guy who I buy from way off post, so really no danger, the kids I sell to are shitlings anyway they make money so they don't give a gently caress.
