Few months until I ETS, one month until I start clearing. Took a PT Test with the next morning half drunk feeling and unshaven, still passed and then dry heaved for five minutes. I think I will singlehandedly reduce recruitment rates in my hometown soon. EDIT: Haha nope got the green weenie, year left to go! Ptolemaeus fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Feb 1, 2016 |

The finance guy says "normally we deactivate GOVCC cards for deployment but this is short notice so you actually need yours and I'll be sure to keep or active. In fact, pay $20 to have a new one rushed to you just in case or we won't let you go." <I rush one to me, arriving the day before I left> <They proceed to deactivate it anyway, leaving me stranded> gently caress the army.

While several later tests showed Shawcross' intelligence to be sub-normal or even "borderline retarded", he received As and Bs in his first two years of grade school, but was later tested to have an I.Q. of 86, signifying low average intelligence. However, when tested in the army, Shawcross scored above average in intelligence tests

They're pretty used to seeing dudes catching a deep dicking from the green weenie and will help out with all the stupid poo poo you need like razors so you don't look like you were flying after you were flying and a space to sleep when you're not flying for a few days because of orders fuckery. Go ahead, ask me how I know. I dare you.

I know the army takes idiots, but the class is literally "go to the table of contents, look up the regulation, write down the regulation," and so many people manage to fail. That being said, never be the idiot that has to actually certify the hazmat.

Counterpoint: Light units are loving godawful. I'd pay good money to see a study done on the impact of 10th's mandate to ruck every week, although you could probably just loving visualize it as the Trail of Tears with the VA serving as the pestilential cattle pen rez they get stuffed in.

They came back after six months but before anyone could deplane they sat on the tarmac for two hours, with families waiting, because everyone had to polish their boots.

German trenches, April 1915: something something knowing history something doomed to repeat etc. etc.https://makersley.com/plan-gallipoli-11-apr-1915/ posted:[Major] Eger immediately acted like a brute. On the first day of his command, he ordered out the band. He forced the battalion to drill, goose-stepping along while the shells poured down on them. As each shell whizzed by, the men trembled, but Eger pretended not to notice it. He shouted at them that what they were doing was not a goose-step, but a funeral march. It was only too true, for a shell burst to the left, killing three men. Those standing nearby were covered with blood. Some were wounded, and some fled. https://makersley.com/return-to-ypres-woevre-12-apr-1915/ posted:When he went into the trenches, there was always something to criticise. He had the soldiers build a little hut above his dugout, “to breathe a little fresh air”, he said. He only went in there when the French were not firing, and they destroyed his hut before two days were over. The following day, a note was found nailed to one of the beams. “If you wish to take an airing, go into the trenches instead of sitting down in front of the dead and laughing. We are patriots, not cowards.” Apparently he was killed by a german bullet six months later

So I dunno if there is a better place to post this. I'm gonna be a new intern at an army hospital in June. We have to wear ACUs despite us being doctors. The only boots I have are those terrible shits I bought at the uniform supply store. They don't fit right and give me blisters. I'm looking for the most comfortable sneaker-like boot I can find. According to the other docs they don't do inspections for the doctors there so as long as it looks like it passes regs it's fine. I have huge feet (size 13) so what do you guys know that comes in my size and is actually comfortable. Edit to add I'll pretty much just be walking around a hospital all day. So how well they kick in doors is pretty unimportant to me.
