Wild T posted:My first EPR (a stunning firewall 4 earned while simultaneously being drunk a lot and washing out of ATC, though the two were unrelated) contained a bullet about raising over $300 towards the unit morale fund. Because I bought a bunch of kegs of beer and invited the RAPCON shift to the e-club to float them on numerous occasions. One of my buddies was a lieutenant's rater and organized/altered the bullets on his first OPR so the first letters spelled LEGEND. That became the dude's call sign.

chemosh6969 posted:Who the gently caress should care if someone doesn't get their wisdom teeth taken out? Taught at a non-deployable unit for about 4 years, and by god don't be the one person who hadn't been to dental to get your teeth cleaned without some reason like your kids were dying. This was all in the name of unit readiness in case of deployment, and the only way this unit would deploy would be if World War III was going on and they needed more bodies for the meat grinder that is a PRC because every other unit had been killed off. Dramatization on my part, but it gets the point across. Gonna do the KBR story too: Obviously they utilized LNs and TCNs as the main workforce with little supervision overseas. This led to many  moments. Like pressure washing around a 400 Amp open-air bus bar installation and a breaker panel for a major comm shop with the wrong gauge and type of wire run to and from it. The circuit panel caught on fire three times that deployment. Nothing against the LNs and TCNs, they didn't know better/weren't told anything, they wanted to get paid. The foremen usually seemed less than qualified.

Casimir Radon posted:Some people are retarded enough to let their teeth rot out of their head so some oversight is going to be necessary, I go to the dentist a couple times a year and poo poo like this doesn't happen to me. Besides he's been on notice about this for around a year. Though I do doubt the wisdom of the dental office at times. Another guy I work with didn't go to a civilian dentist for years because that would have cut into the amount of nerd poo poo he could buy. The dental office told him he was fine for years, then one day "HOLY poo poo YOU'VE GOT A GIGANTIC HOLE IN ONE OF YOUR MOLARS!". I went one time where I could tell the lady airman wasn't really into the job and didn't put much effort into the cleaning. I went another time where the staff sergeant came in at one point to clean a bit, shoved the pick way too deep into my gum so I started streaming blood and got to listen to her keep going on and on about how she doesn't understand why I was bleeding so much. I had 2 wisdom teeth yanked out in tech school and the I went the full IV route for the other 2 at my next base. The only thing I really remember with the IV is the crunching of teeth and the guy with his foot on the chair trying to yank them out.

Last time I went for a cleaning, the E-4 chick doing the cleaning was a saint with beautiful eyes that made the procedure go better. I started BSing with her about my upcoming assignment to Diego Garcia and told her about the Queen's Crabs, resulting in her laughing too hard to actually do any work in my mouth for a few minutes. Good times. Time before that the civilian chick ripped my gums to shreds with the water pick and felt like she was trying to stress test how hard she could jerk the pick around between my teeth. Never had that much pain in a cleaning before. Ended up with blood all on my face and those lovely goggles because she couldn't keep the water pick from spraying everywhere. At the end she remarked that I must have a high pain tolerance for not stopping her because she was "really getting in there!" Yeah, no poo poo, lady. My poor gums receded like 1/8th of an inch for a few days and I looked like I had some scraggly old man teeth until everything righted itself again. #armydental

Captain Rattan is a dentist quote:Captain Tejdeep Singh Rattan, a dentist, was granted a historic religious accommodation by the U.S. Army to maintain his Sikh turban and beard in December 2009. Captain Rattan was the first turbaned Sikh officer to complete basic training in over two decades. Captain Rattan began serving as an Army dentist at Fort Drum in May 2010. He was appointed Detachment Commander of U.S. Army Dental Activity at Fort Drum in July 2010. Captain Rattan also served in Afghanistan and received an Army Commendation Medal and a NATO Medal for his service. Captain did an OEF tour and only got an ARCOM; speculate as desired (cole thread)

Major Kalsi was a trauma surgeon in Afghanistan, and saved a shitload of dudes and got a Bronze Star for it. The other guy, Rattan, is just a dentist though. Wait, you motherfuckers can't tell them apart, can you?

best part of DFAC dining was seeing buxom lady officers in frog tops Also television. Hearing that the province you're currently eating breakfast in prior to a patrol has been "turned over to Iraqi forces" is pretty funny.
