Look at how many people have CABs and CIBs from working in the TOC and taking a single round of IDF 50m away over a HESCO. Meanwhile, my medic couldn't be awarded a CMB despite trying desperately to save a dude with a sucking back wound while he himself was wounded because we weren't technically assigned to a combat arms unit at the time, we were just working with them (the dude died while they were transporting him to thr FST). What the gently caress? Wikipedia posted:As of 2005 the rules for eligibility were changed to allow any Medical Department Soldier in a brigade or lower unit to be eligible so long as they are engaged in actual ground combat and performed medical duties. This now includes Soldiers assigned to aviation units. Additionally, in 2008, IED/VBIEDs can now be considered direct contact with the enemy. So, Div asset? That's loving retarded horseshit either way.

Civvie news: A purported former Army ranger at the donated his 75TH RANGER RGT shoulder insignia to a pile of silly knick-knacks that circulate around the Employee of the Week recipients. My boss, who drives a Modern Warfare 3 Special Edition Jeep Rubicon 4-door, seized the opportunity to mount the insignia to a glass-faced plaque that reads (names changed to protect the innocent) "THE SSG. RICHARD SUCK HERO OF THE WEEK AWARD." When it was unveiled in a management meeting this week I was so surprised that I laughed out loud. You would think I had pissed on the flag for the dirty looks I've been getting.

These self-righteous idiots either can't or won't understand that I was laughing at my boss and his stupid idea for the plaque. Instead, obviously, I must have been ridiculing every American soldier who died DEFENDING OUR FREEDOMS. "Hero of the Week." Holy gently caress. e: It went to the CEO/owner this week, by the way.

You are more likely to die at the hands of yourself or your battle in Iraq now, so there's probably a few Darwin award recipients you can laugh at guilt free?

I am pretty sure they're just going to forget about that thing in about 2 to 3 weeks. It's either that or it's going to start being awarded for really stupid poo poo like, "Carol brought cookies" or "Jeff told off a bigot on facebook"

It's either that or it's going to start being awarded for really stupid poo poo like, "Carol brought cookies" or "Jeff told off a bigot on facebook" you'd think so, but the "Employee of the Week" thing has been running for a good 8 months. They just renamed it after the first poor veteran who poked his head up. And yes, it started being awarded for stupid poo poo on about week 2. The CEO got it this week because he was in the hospital over the weekend. He also got it last week for something else. The week before was Modern Warfare 3 jeep boss because his wife had a baby. The company has around 150 employees, but lol if you think a loving line worker like a welder or machinist is ever going to lay eyes on the HERO RANGER PLAQUE.

Kung Fu Fist gently caress posted:how much of a motard is this former ranger? From the little I've seen of him, not at all. He's an unassuming guy, mid-40s, lead man in the weld shop. He does his work and keeps his head down. I can't imagine what possessed him to toss that badge in the pile. If he knew the office managers a little better, somehow I think he would have reconsidered. You were spot on the with the "idol" remark, Mike. It's the same sort of insincere grandstanding by management that happens every holiday, when the shop and office workers eat together: "You're the foundation of our company, none of us would be here without your hard work" only magnified x10. When our best welder makes more than the worst salesman, I'll take kind of talk seriously. There's an analogy to be made about this country's inconsistent treatment of veterans, but I'll leave that to someone more qualified. Eugene V.

That's weird. How do you know if there's a ranger, a crossfitter or an atheist in the room? Wait 5 minutes, they'll let you know.  I rip on rangers like all the time, and they mostly deserve it, but of the 8 moderately decent people I met while in the army 3 were rangers. gently caress I hate posting on my phone, by the time I'm halfway through I forget what I was getting at.

He reclassed about 3 years ago, and said it was way better than a regular army gig. Plenty of TDY, plenty of training money, plenty of freedom as long as the job got done. He says now that it's approaching full blown double blowjob gay as units are getting attached to combat arms brigades who have not the slightest loving idea what to do with him, so treat him as a detail bitch / infantry.
