kill your enemy, drink his wine, and take his women
I had a conversation with a retired CSM a few days ago that I expected to go like they normally do. Instead I listened to a 15 minute rant about how much of a horrible backstabbing piece of crap Chandler was; it was beautiful poetry. I'm pretty sure his greatest accomplishment was being equally despised by all ranks/backgrounds.

Haha, I had to live with E Co at Benning for a month then get recycled because of testicular torsion. Still gives me trouble, but for some reason I never thought to mention twisty balls to the VA.

I had an idiopathic varicocele they kept claiming was just a minor hernia. Turns out it wasn't, and my junk got permanently damaged from blood flow issues and now I am shooting blanks from the last two tests. It feels like a midget is hanging from my balls most of the time, truly joyous.

“I’ve seen all kinds of things like, ‘Men are only going to take this MOS so they don’t have to deploy,’ or ‘They’re never going to get any work done cause they’ll spend all their time watching porn’ or even ‘We all know how he got the job,'” she said, making a crude gesture for throwing a football.

They couldn't make a gesture for eating pussy? Is there a good gesture to pantomime eating pussy? Everyone knows and recognizes the pantomime for sucking dick

Most of it was just confirming what everyone else has already said/believed. However -

"We had the same date of rank. We were [all] peers, then that perfumed prince got selected and you would have thought he had never met any of us. gently caress you, we were pinned on the same day."
"He's an idiot, ended up in way in over his head and couldn't be bothered to ask any of us what our opinions or soldiers' opinions or needs were, you know, the stuff we're supposed to do, so he just spazzed at everything."
I forget the exact quote, but something about how he hid from deployments and that was why he was available for the job. Also rear end kissing, etc.
"You mean I have to tell a 12-yr SFC with 4 deployments that he might have to leave because he has tattoos? What was wrong with the reg when we were privates. If I can't see it in your dress uniform, who gives crap"

Sunflower seeds(I don't dip or smoke)
A case of kill cliff(energy drink)
Beef Jerky
Baby Wipes

What else should I bring for the wonderful summer weather? (I'm assuming that I may be able to get ice at some point in time.) To be clear I am in the brigade support element as far to the rear as the exercise gets

If your unit isn't led by loving assholes and lets you use it there's actually a decently stocked PX there with a Pizza Hut and barber. The PX even has beer iirc. Also there's an MWR with TV and internet just down the road, and next to that a big civilian-run DFAC where Geronimo eats. Normally they don't like it when rotation dudes eat there but we slipped in a few times, it's lightyears better than the dfacs you are supposed to eat at. I am pretty sure the poo poo they serve at those "dfacs" are the same rations they serve out of MKTs, despite also being ran by civilians.

Release the Kraken
On my JRTC rotation, we went down from Fort Drum so we could set up a SCIF and pretend we were still at Fort Drum serving as reach back.

Yes, the army sent all of us and all our poo poo across the country for a month so we could act like we never moved.

Even so, we were in the box the entire time. Never got to set up in Tiger land or whatever the gently caress that place is called next to the shoppette and MWR. Still brought and used the gently caress out of my phone though. Night shift meant fewer people to gently caress with us. It was kind of funny when geronimo attacked the fob and someone stormed into our sleep bay to do security checks and a warrant told them to get the gently caress out, we weren't playing those games.

I can't decide what I hate more: the army or myself for joining the army.

I'm fairly certain that I use the words "gently caress" and or "poo poo" in every other sentence when I'm not speaking to somebody who will take enormous amounts of offense to it (like a priest). The words don't even have a negative or adult connotation for me anymore, they're just euphemisms now.

Main body flys the day after tomorrow and still no ticketing for the group order.

"B-but you had last minute roster changes!"

Yeah no poo poo rear end in a top hat. One guy can't even get through a bowl of cereal before throwing up he's so loving sick, and one female's father just died. We took them off the roster, imagine that. gently caress us for our poor planning, right? I bet that's what you're telling the General. "The battalion staff failed to plan".

This is the 4th year in a row you used that excuse. Get off your fat asses and get the tickets issued.
