You have to say the for example infantrymens creed and if you fail to recite your creed you won't get promoted. My Brigade similar to the rest of the army had a massive failure rate because people couldn't recite their creeds.

I never said any kind of creed or anything when I went to the board.  Kind of a letdown, really, after all the time I spent shouting at the wall.

I got sent to soldier of the quarter board once. Once of the questions was something about when Grenada happened. After I said the stock answer, the 1SG says, "I bet you were still in your diapers at the time." Before my brain to mouth filter could engage, I let out "NEGATIVE 1SG I WAS STILL IN MY FATHER'S TESTICLES AT THE TIME 1SG." The board members all looked at me for a split second and burst out laughing. I ended up winning the battalion-level board, only because I was literally the only lower enlisted to be sent to it.

Speaking of grossly incompetent, I have a CIF appointment during an installation training holiday tomorrow. I know if I don't show they'll be there and I'll miss my CIF appointment. I know if I do show, the door is gonna be locked and the windows will be dark. It's Schrodingers-god-damned-appointment. Can't wait to get rid of all this special gay Old Guard ceremonial stuff. OHI forgot, a bunch of OLD AS gently caress WOODLAND STUFF has now turned into PCS: NO so I guess they want me to turn it in? But there's a ~ after OH QTY (so like AU QTY: 1 OH QTY: 1~). Googling leads me to believe that this may just be that it's no longer fielded and thus won't be turned in, but I'm bringing it what I can find of it, anyways. Better safe and overburdened than sorry.

My premob ended Friday but my ticket isn't until ON OR AROUND next Friday and all of my roommates left and the DSs doing premob popped smoke so I've been here alone and will probably be alone until then. Yesterday I didn't leave the room at all and watched the entire LOTR extended trilogy. Today I'm halfway through Return of the Jedi. I did visit the DFAC for lunch. I'm so bored I've started doing 60 pushups/150 jumping jacks every hour. I'm a fatbody so you know I'm that bored. What the Hell is going on?

thetechnoloser posted:Speaking of grossly incompetent, I have a CIF appointment during an installation training holiday tomorrow. If it's anything like my last CIFs the appointments don't really mean poo poo, except if you don't have one and they got people lining up out the door you are probably gonna get told to come back another day. After that if you gotta come back it's like "whenever we are open". PCS: NO means yeah, you are gonna hand that poo poo in. On the plus side if it's like some old timers that were with me at the same time, you can hand those woodland shits in in any state as long as they as don't obviously smell like poo poo.

not caring here posted:you can hand those woodland shits in in any state as long as they as don't obviously smell like poo poo. Confirmed. One item wouldn't pass the smell test up close, but was just fine at a distance. I blame mold from being stored in a woodshed at Polk for a year. CIF taken care of, minus one item. Gotta take up one of my three black fleeces later today. They totally hooked me up. Best CIF experience thus far in 9 years. thetechnoloser fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Apr 6, 2015 |

Yeah, how the gently caress is that even a question? I mean Seattle kinda sucks but they've got coffee shops where girls wear lingerie and enough yoga butts to peep for decades. Irwin is just some awful desert scrub surrounded by dirt farms and trailer parks.

Practice your salutes because your arm will always be in the air walking around. Also, they really like payday activities so make sure your ASUs are in order. Mostly its dog and pony because typical garrison army mentality. There are exceptions if you get in one of the cool guy cells that do weird shifts and have a real world mission.
