Yes but since we just got back from deployment we have the bullshit yellow ribbon thing on the 30th and then a 45 and a 90 day check in and I just don't want to do anything anymore.

that poo poo was seriously intense

working and going to school all week and it's a muta 5 so god dammit gotta be at the armory by 5, and hey guess what we're going to Fort Devins so everyone goes out to pmcs to drive a pack of 20 M997s up the Mass Pike past Worcester to go fart around in the woods all weekend.

hope you stashed enough booze and smokes to numb the pain and kill yourself slowly and tell the people that didn't bring anything (except for the squad, natch) to go kick rocks because this warm bottle of jack daniels isn't enough to share and i'll be hosed before i face 0430 stand-to in the middle of northern massachusetts in november sober

Just started working on my IRR packet. It's starting out at the brigade level, so I should be out in November.

Had a MUTA 6 this past weekend that could have easily been a MUTA 4. Then starting next weekend we have 14 days of AT that are literally just us going to hang out with an active duty unit and be in garrison. TBH it's not that bad, but at this point the Army does basically nothing for me and I'd rather spend my weekends not wearing a green pajama suit and hearing NCOs whine about how my sideburns are a millimeter too long.

This is exactly me. The Reserves are easy as gently caress, I am just over it at this point.

On another note, my PSG just sent out an email stating that all E4s are required by the CO to have a E5 packet ready for September drill. Bro, I'm out in April. I'm not extending for another year and death before reenlistment. There is legitimately NO reason for me to put forth the time and effort on a packet. This is why I hate the Army.

I was a full time EMT for a few years and loved the job. I really enjoy doing emergency response and holding things together when everything is a swirling poo poo storm around you. If I could actually do that I wouldn't mind doing the part time soldier gig. I know the Army though and the retarded dumb fuckery is baked so hard into the culture I know it's not worth all the bullshit that would come with that decision. It kinda makes me sad that I can't just do the job and have that be enough. Oh no, it would be just like Fidel said, E5 packets before you ETS because those are the orders! gently caress your clearing papers I have a box in excel that's the wrong color! Orders? Who the gently caress cares about your orders we have oh-gently caress-thirty formation tomorrow and you need to be there three hours early because every step of the chain says on time is late.

In short, thank you so much for still being in and letting me laugh at your pain so I can resist the.temptation to subject myself to more of it.

For the Armor School run I saw some of the guys from 19D or 19K OSUT wearing these loving crazy looking road guard vests, it's like if someone taped a poo poo ton of orange chem lights together and made some kind of BDSM harness out of it. It looked like something you would wear to a rave.

When I was in basic training at Fort Benning, we did a base-wide run. Every basic training company lined up on the field by building 4, and we putted around like 3-4 miles of Benning near where IOBC, OCS, and airborne schools are. I'm not sure if 3rd ID got drawn into that web of stupid, but since we get trucked over from sand hill I've got no doubts that they either shuttled everyone over, or possibly did their own little run on their side of post.

MOM WAS RIGHT
My guard unit is trying to gear up for deployments and new equipment training, so half of us are up in the northern half of the state training.

loving training NCOIC had taken it upon himself to appoint himself the base commander and has us running this poo poo like AIT all over again.

Instead of team leaders and squad leaders being responsible for their actual teams, they've got class leadership poo poo going on, but the team leads are getting bitched at when private schmuckatell doesn't know which of the three conflicting sets of orders he's supposed to follow, because no one can figure out if we're following Top's or this other guy's orders.

Instead of BAS they've got us eating in this tiny DFAC but they forgot to hire cooks, so they have a SPC running the kitchen over a sergeant and PFC, without a meal plan and a bunch of raw ingredients that were ordered without their input or knowledge. They're cooking their asses off, 150 meals a day without days off, so I'm not complaining too much about everyone having to do 3 days of KP each week, but this poo poo is so A'd up, it's retarded.

Also 0500 wakeups and 2200 lights out, including weekends.

gently caress this gay poo poo. Leadership isn't telling this guy to gently caress off but them countermanding every other directive, going over the "class leader's" head the other half.

Release the Kraken
My favorite post-run story is when I was at Drum and we got up at the rear end-crack of dawn, formed up, and marched off to line the roads. Apparently one company or battalion or whatever would take off and everyone standing around was supposed to cheer for them, then fall in behind them. It was a big ol' cheering clusterfuck. After I finished my part of the run and we all lined up again to keep cheering for other people who hated being there, we saw the Air Force guys come. Up until this point, I didn't know they got roped into this thing too. Part of me felt bad for them (how much would it suck to join the AF and wind up there?) but another part of me wanted them to hate their lives just as much as we did. So I cheered.
