The recruiter conned the gently caress out of that idiot. If he doesn't know his MOS field, that means he signed paperwork without one lol.

Eh. It's what I had to do to get an Infantry contract.

I've got a buddy who's a ranger now that went army after I told him the usmc recruiter was loving him over.

The recruiter got him to agree to go to meps and swear in on some poo poo mos, telling him that he'd change it to infantry before he shipped. I lol'd pretty hard and told him what was up.

Then I got the kids father fired for trying to gently caress me over. Good times.

He isnt even my youngest sibling. I have another little brother that is about 4-5 years younger than him. My dad had 3 different wives, my mom being the first, and 5 children spread across those three marriages. I didn't meet him or my siblings until I was 17. Didn't know my stepdad wasn't my real dad until I was in the 3rd grade. So yeah, your assessment is spot on.

I feel ya. I have 4 siblings. My oldest brother (5 years older), whom I was told was my step-brother until I was 20 and we figured out we're infact half brothers because my mom was cheating on my supposed natural father with my step-dad-turned-real-dad for like 4 years before either got divorced. Then my sister (3 years older) from my mom's first marriage. Then my youngest sister (12 years younger) The only kid my bio-dad and mom actually had together that they could tell the rest of the family about. Then there's my other half brother (2 years older) who lives on Guam because my bio-dad knocked up a Navy chick right before he started cheating on his wife at the time (oldest brother's mom) with my mom, who by the way, is my older brother's mother's youngest cousin who came out to Guam to visit her cousin and ended up starting up a 4 year affair with her husband, my biological father.

Then there's the even weirder part that the guy I call "dad" is actually my oldest half-brother's step dad, because he and my brother's biological mom (my mom's cousin) actually let me live with them for awhile when my bio parents were looking like they were gonna divorce over some idiot bullshit family drama when I was 11-14, and I stayed closer with him than either of my two earlier 'dads'



Honestly I'm amazed I didn't come out of that poo poo way more retarded than I am

Also, as an extra fun enlisted kicker to the whole thing, my oldest brother's mom met his step dad because he was his 1st Sgt at the time of my natural father's disciplinary hearing for getting caught loving around on his wife with everyone on the planet.

So this guy popped up on the FReep thread:

quote:

To: PROCON
In my 26 years of military service I was given “the talk” several times for not towing the line of the diversity BS. I was once even called to the BN commander’s office over the rumor that I was attempting to start a “White Rally” on post.

I filed a formal complaint about there not being an observance for my race (white) and was told we weren’t entitled to one because we aren’t a minority. I pushed the issue that we were discriminated against through exclusion. I received orders shortly after and never got a response.

It was incredibly rare to see an Equal Opportunity NCO that was NOT a minority or a woman.

TOWs and Scouts were back to back for the same time period and we weren't miserable.

LAR just went apeshit in garrison. 0600-1800 working hours, ramp watches, stupid gently caress gently caress games 24/7, etc. For the most part, tanks left their 03's alone and unsupervised in garrison. Sometimes it worked out for us, others it didn't.

I thought he was in TOWs when it happened but I know exactly who you're talking about because he was one of my boots.

The loving kid used, "But the senior guys did it to me while we were deployed! That's where I learned it!" as a kind of justification for why he played the game and I wanted to loving kill him for it. None of us were even issued sidearms on his first deployment, just the section leaders, so 4 people had 9mm's. I'd seen someone doing it once while loving around in the cage on the tank ramp with an unloaded pistol and I about broke his fingers taking the thing away from the kid.

Low and behold, a couple of months later that poo poo happens. That loving idiot.
