Continuing on the 'I love my MOS but hate the military parts' crap, gently caress I loved being a medic. However as soon as you made E5, you never touched a patient again. So gently caress all of us that actually like putting bandaids on people and picking shrapnel out of butts I guess.

Kung Fu Fist gently caress posted:well tbf if he was suppose to be some marsoc cool dude, they probably call each other by first name and give each other backrubs instead of standing at parade rest and shouting aye pfc! We actually had a guy who would pay younger Marines (Dudebro was a SNCO) to rub his back down with oil at night after patrols. We gave them all a pretty nickname too that he absolutely hated. The guy even started carrying around cans of spray paint when he wasn't on patrol so he could paint over it whenever he encountered it written in a porta shitter. The next year, during the glorious clusterfuck of training that takes places aboard 29 stumps, he took a little wounded PFC under his wing. A PFC who had never made his own bed prior to joining the military. PFC had pissed off his section leader enough to get booted out of the section, where he fell prey to the SNCO, who brought him into his hooch (With his whole section, as well as my section) where they pushed their racks together so they could watch Disney movies into the small hours of the night together. We made them a champagne flute with the phrase, "TT Boy and Stoy, together forever, 2007" and left it in said SNCO's rack while he was out at chow one day. Hilarity ensued.

Lazy Reservist posted:This actually caused a down day during OSW. One, you old if you talking about OSW Two, things haven't changed. We almost lost a plane (okay, a Pred so an RC plane) because we had shore power problems and someone had forgotten to make sure the back-up generator for the GCS had fuel. Oh, and if we're talking about unqualified personnel wiring generators let me tell you about the time I almost electrocuted a Lt because Army CE wouldn't do their jobs so it was left to a mx Capt and an air field management Lt to figure out how to hook up a MEP-806 to a LAMS door-raising motor. Hilarity (and fortunately not death) ensued.

I hook up poo poo to generators all the time, but it always frightened me how little training we get on the proper use of them; that and how cavalier people are with 10-40 kW of electricity. Actual poo poo I've heard: "Just wire those fuckers up to the lugs already! What do you mean you have to turn it off, the wrench is plastic!"

One of the few times I got in trouble was when I refused to gently caress with one of those big rear end generators our command would haul out to the field. If there's one thing I'm absolutely terrified of in the world it's electricity. I even made my father-in-law come help me replace outside light fixtures because I had no loving clue how to touch the wiring and refused to do so until I had someone with me who knew.

They are sure that it won't happen to THEM  Just like those dudes that watch real combat videos and are 100% sure they could do better in response to actually being shot at. I'm uber cautious around the TQG's we have; I activate every safety we have after turning off the system, including disconnecting the battery, before touching those lugs. I'm also pretty sure I would poo poo my pants if I heard real bullets coming in danger close and would immediately look for the nearest infantryman in a fire fight.

Wasabi the J posted:I'm also pretty sure I would poo poo my pants if I heard real bullets coming in danger close and would immediately look for the nearest infantryman in a fire fight. no you wouldn't. it's really not as scary as you think. e: but if you did freeze up and look towards me in a firefight, i would call you an rear end in a top hat and tell you to start shooting back IEDs, now that's where you should be afraid. i was also afraid of mortars, probably to an irrational degree. we took sustained indirect once. you can kind of see where mortars are fired from because the piece of poo poo mortars that haj used on us had a flame trail when it launched, and it looked like a lightning strike in reverse from where it was, but they were just enough behind a hill that we couldn't land any rounds on them. so you see that lightning strike effect and you just wait. and wait. and wait. and wait. and wait. and wait. and wait. and wait. and wait. and wait. and wait. and wait. and wait. and wait. and wait. and wait. and wait. and wait. and wait. and wait. then BOOM! then you do it all over again as they are dialing in on your position. that is way scarier to me than someone chucking bullets my way. JTAC eventually called in a fixed wing, p sure an A10, and leveled the entire area it was coming from. but before that they managed to drop a mortar within 8 meters of where i was at. eight loving meters. so yeah, they have to be pretty spot on to take you out, but the waiting game loving sucks.

Nothing really made me pucker up my rear end in a top hat more than IEDs and snipers. gently caress snipers. Got lucky when I was shot by a couple inches and he hit my mags which exploded instead of ripping through my neck. Every patrol after that I would get behind any cover I could find when we did a halt. gently caress that poo poo.
