Zeris posted:What is a viper / what is skatest A viper is a range inspecter on Camp Lejeune. They drive around to the various ranges on the base, make sure people aren't dumping poo poo illegally, make sure that units are complying with all range safety rules and verify that units have policed up all trash and expended casings when they are done with a range before giving them the OK to turn the range back in to range control. So for 8 hours a day, in various shifts, these guys just drive around the base with a radio and make sure people are following the rules. Skatest/Skating/Skate jobs = Easy jobs. Especially for a steady 42k in an area like eastern NC, which when combined with the fact that most, if not all range vipers are retired Marines, equates to a pretty decent chunk of money when retirement and VA disability is figured in on top of the salaries. Edit: I don't know if other bases refer to their range inspectors as Vipers, never cared to check.

This was back in 2007, and I haven't been back there in years, so I don't know if they got their license back. They did have a great selection, and usually threw in a free box of ammo for military folks who bought a gun.

Nope, they hosed themselves pretty good - I heard from someone who worked there it was multiple firearms they physically *lost*. Not "wink wink nudge nudge" sold off the books, but "Yo, where's that Remington 700?" "Oh, I left it on top of a box in the storeroom. Isn't it still there?" IIRC it was mainly fuddguns, too.

Went to the range to shoot M72's on Friday. Shooting was in pairs. Airhead 2lt went first, asked for someone to go with him, I put my hand up. For reference, the backside of a LAW rocket is a black plastic-like disk inside what looks like an aluminium tube. He made sure to give me a long, good look while he tried to figure out which was his right hand and which was his left. The joke is that the idiot is me. Also I've stopped caring.. I'm so glad I'm not a fulltimer.

EVA BRAUN BLOWJOBS posted:Ah, range memories. When I was TDY to Leonard Wood to attend "teach about 200 dumb AF/Navy dudes how to kind sorta know what the Army does so we're not responsible for them getting killed" training they didn't even care about burning down the area anymore anymore. Then again it was Missouri and if the entire state were to be engulfed in a firestorm we'd probably be better off. We were one of the last classes to go through with the 1st ID dudes before they all moved to Louisiana, which probably helped their give-a-fuckance hit all time lows. When we did night fire on the M2 I couldn't even see the targets because those little IR blinky lights were lost in the bright white smudge of the raging grassfire from the tracers behind them. Only one gunner per team of fifteen had to qual, though, so they just kept shoving people through. It was cold as gently caress so people on teams who already had a gunner would just get up in the humvee and try their best to unload a hundred round belt in one burst (in the Army's wisdom, whether you needed or intended to qual or not you still had to fire all your rounds because this was before sequestration and loving IRAQ MONEY WHAT). The night is just a blur of fire, strings of gunfire, OCs screaming to slow the gently caress down and a whole bunch of people getting to butt ahead in line because one OC asked who was cold... Then moved those whiners to the front ahead of everyone else instead of telling them to go chill in the warming tent. I did like the M240B though, that gun is pretty tits.

We all have stories of Joes making poor decisions, but this one always stood out. About halfway through our deployment, I drive out to one of my projects to pick up an 18 year old E4 who is having a nervous breakdown. Essentially, he thinks his 18 year old wife is cheating on him because he's noticed a few hundred dollars a month being taken out of his dip and preworkout fund and she's kind of been dancing around telling him why. Apparently, in addition to giving his wife General Power of Attorney, he also keeps everything in his wife's family's house, and even signed the loving title of his truck over to his father-in-law. So we take him to chaplain, who goes through the whole marriage counseling thing (which, by 4 and a half months into the deployment, he's an expert on). In the end, it just turned out he was being paranoid and didn't know about things like "communicating" and "not spending $1000 a month on workout supplements." Okay, whatever, we send him back to work the next day and that's that. A month or two later, one of his buddies, another E4 in his squad, offers to sell him his lifted pickup for $6000 (I guess in West Virginia and Eastern Ohio, social status is measured by the height of your lift kit). Despite having never seen the truck in person, and having a good 3-4 months left on the deployment, he jumps at the opportunity because, in his words, he "Found an extra $5000 lying around that I didn't know about!" So he wires the dude the money, has his father-in-law sign the title, and asks him to drive down to pick it up. Back in the States, The father-in-law shows up at the house, picks up the truck, and begins driving it home. Everything is going smoothly until, an hour into the drive, one of the wheels of the truck flies off its axle, causing the truck to spit out of control and crash. The father-in-law is okay, but the truck is totaled. Of course, the Joe in question never bothered to purchase insurance before it was picked up, nor was the truck covered under the Lemon Law. The next day, I was talking to his squad leader, who tells me that he'd overhead this Joe talking to his wife earlier in the week. She was really excited to tell him she'd saved up $5000 from her earnings and his deployment money to put a down payment on a house when he got home. psydude fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Nov 28, 2014 |

That's almost too hilarious to be true. My favorite of all time still is the kid I ran into on camp fallujah who had no idea what a 249 was. He thought I was carrying some kind of super rifle.

Something happened on facebook over the weekend and I'm sad I wasn't able to get screenshots before the respective people deleted their posts. This involves a married couple that has been openly airing their dirty laundry on facebook about how they hate/love each other for a couple years now. The guy is in Korea and the girl is in Turkey. He posts about how he wants to buy some dumbass F-150 because horsepahrs and "it's almost a lightning." He has a history of buying really expensive vehicles that he can't afford. He already had one stupid truck that he couldn't afford so he sold it and bought a brand new Mustang he couldn't afford and modified it anyway. The mustang was stolen before he PCS'd to Korea. Anyway, he posts that he wants to buy this truck and have it shipped to Italy which I assume they are both going to after their current assignments. It's pointed out that this is expensive and really stupid to take a big American truck to small European roads. He replies with "yeah whatever brah, it's going to be awesome. It's almost a lightning." His wife comments "ummm, no" His wife makes a status update with a picture of some dudes and text somewhat along the lines of "These guys are pretty attractive and maybe I'll go after them if my husband buys a stupid truck." I assume she does this jokingly to say "hey, don't buy this expensive thing, you knob." He flips out and posts a status update along the lines of "WHATEVER BITCH I'LL DIVORCE YOU AND BUY A 2016 GT350 AND PICK UP ALL KINDS OF BITCHES." And changes his profile picture to something about meeting girls. The next day, they've deleted their status updates and she posts one saying "Why does everyone have to put their noses in our business? Guess I'll have to start deleting people." And he posts an update saying "Anyone else hate ignorant people?" The only reason why I haven't deleted them is because every few months they have facebook battles about how much they hate each other. Edit: I guess I'll add in that he's only in the air force because he got a CDC waiver after failing two or three times.
