I feel like if you spun it just right you could get anime fans to volunteer and happily march off to their deaths by way of some kind of tentacle creature.

I don't want to deal with ATDRW while I'm getting paid peanuts to smoke green skinned godless foreigners. Besides, its not like basement dwelling pillow fuckers can actually make it through basic.

Heard some stories about hush house antics recently including a pretty long list of things thrown into the jetstream. The best was a dried out Christmas tree.

Also his flicks have the best tits and gore. Total Recall was the best poo poo ever when you were twelve years old, THAT HOOKER HAS THREE loving TITS and I get to see Michael Ironsides get his arms torn off with the best one-liner of all time?

Casimir Radon posted:I remember hearing that one. Apparently we had a similar incident with an office chair, supposedly you can still see the dent in the tunnel. They used to have a basketball hoop in there until the day they were shooting hoops with a plane still in there and somebody bounced the ball off a wing. The best part is our shop heard about it happening from the base Ordies whose shop was easily 3-4 miles away. Some dumbshit LCpl calls up our Gunny and just asks "Hey why are you tools raining down on our shop?" I was in the middle of PCS'ing so I dodged the entire poo poo storm that ensued though

I would have re-enlisted indefinitely on the spot if the Army promised powered armor and loving up other planets. The Skinny Raid alone was enough to get my dick hard, and the prospect of doing more poo poo like that would have been worth the terrible drop on Big K. Plus, I would get cool cyborg poo poo.

Only difference is you'd spend aeons of time waiting in line to hand in your powered armour for inspection at the depot every now and then.

They should start offering things like 10% off the price* of a mustang. *msrp or a free iphone* *with 6 year army service contract. $200,000 early contract termination fee That'd get a bunch of idiots for cannon fodder.

One of the civilian (Retired from military side) roads and grounds guys had another expensive accident with a snowplow. He caught the top of a manhole cover, ended up knocking himself unconscious, and bruising his pancreas. He also had an expired civilian drivers license. Back when I first started he'd recently run into a building with a snowplow, and last year he caught a heaved up concrete slab and broke the plow mount. The cost for these mistakes is probably over a million dollars if you figure in the man-hours that went into fixing them.

Wanted to share some stories here that may resonate with other goons from and/or in platoons. My unit was (I think) responsible for shutting down the diving board/high dive at Camp Anaconda in Balad Apparently troops in our unit wanted to do belly flop contests off the high dive and diving board which was all great entertainment until one guy broke the capillaries in his lungs and kept coughing up blood. No more after that, and the next time we returned from Ramadi it was all taped off and shut down due to "unsafe activities". We're taking credit. Also had a troop that got up there and refused to jump, causing a huge back up and scene at the high dive at this pool. It was embarrassing that this 20 year old kid got up to the top and had his platoon sergeant threatening to come get him and throw him off the high dive so we could enjoy the pool like adults. Granted, he was a dumbass troop in our unit, but it still makes me cringe thinking he was with our stupid rear end guard outfit. We found IED's every night on our route clearance and this kid wouldn't jump off the loving high dive. I once burned off 150-200 straight rounds on the SAW at the range and got in some trouble. It was pretty fun, but I had to do a power point presentation on the origins, use, and safety of the M249 SAW. Still worth it but it was pretty dumb I guess. A few troops sewed "Motivation" tabs on their uniforms above our unit patch. It was a "motivated" meter with an arrow in the RED or unmotivated section. Was pretty funny. I may or may not have sewn a "Ninja" tab on my desert camos under my breast pocket. I was 20 and it was funny to be a certified US Army Ninja. I think someone else did this with a Ranger tab unironically though. One guy would always get these photos of his wife in the tub or in sexy poses all naked and stuff. He didn't get that they were impossible angles to be set up on a tripod with timers or selfies. Obviously some dude/dudette was taking these pictures and she was sending him the photos and he would boast about how he would "get that" when we got home. Of course they were a good Christian household with very serious marriage vows, so NO WAY she would cheat on him....except he'd get these sexy photos about once a month. I also remember coming out of the chow hall and this new unit out of PA had come into the base in Ramadi to take over for us. With them came a lot of brass and high speed-low (high) drag folks. Well, we were instructed to specifically NOT salute while we were outside of our operations area because the base commander had put out a memo that it wasn't a bad idea, but he'd leave it up to each unit or some such. Well, we walk by this Lt. Col coming out of the chow hall, no biggie, and we hear "EXCUSE ME. IS THAT HOW WE TREAT OFFICERS!?" He stomps up behind me and my three buds (we're all E4's) and demands a salute. SO he makes us go back a good 20 feet and walk by with a salute. Nope. "No, you give the greeting of the day when you salute, yes?" So again, he makes us, troops that had been in country for a good 10 months with orders specifically against this, greet and salute this new-to-country officer in front of the entire traffic in front of the chow hall. This guy was a dick. I just wanted to share the story that this guy was a dick, no troop goof ups or goof offs here. Also gently caress the PA unit that replaced us and gently caress the 3rd ID. I have more stories, but wanted to share these here now. Like the guys who swapped wives upon return from deployment, the guy who's sister was dating the recruiter, or the guy who was sent home from country after being suplexed by another dude. Dang.

A few people wore the motivation tab on the flight suit, but the morale version was more popular. At one point it was banned. My second crew had tabs made with their moms name on it and traded so every flight you had a different guy's mom. I have no idea why we did this.
