A dude I went to basic with is saying on Facebook that some SSG emailed his personal problems to almost everybody in the Army (with the requisite hundreds of "reply all" responses).

Someone who is still in needs to investigate this.

Don't upvote if I'm alone in this, but I got a random email addressed to what looks like a VERY large mailing distro list talking about this dude and his issues.
If you're reading this SSG, good luck with your debts! Also watch that 'to' field bro!

There was some idiot MSG who sent out an invite to karaoke night in Kabul...to every American in Kabul. GEN Dunford's CSM replied all that if anyone had time for karaoke nights during a war then they didn't have enough to do and he would send them home.

I had over 200 emails. The replies are golden: either completely illiterate or all-caps angry emails. One CW2 told everyone replying that they were making things worse, then signed off with "have a wonderful Army day." This is great entertainment.

The original email is just kind of sad. Dude has some financial problems and a sick wife and was just trying to talk to someone in his command about it. He tried to recall the email a few times, but we all know how well that worked. Most of the responses are along the lines of "I don't know why I am on this distro, please remove," but some of them are pretty great.

Some reddit guy suggested that someone brave should reply all with a large attachment and tag the email //SECRET//. There has to be a way to do this with a proxy or some nerd computer poo poo because it would stir the pot so awesomely well.

This has been the best thing to happen to the military this year.

Is this going through AKO? That thing was a mind-shattering poo poo show when I had to use it and a reply all feature to the entire Army is exactly what I would expect from there.

It only took a single email to everyone to overload the army servers, and enough people thought they could be the hero to say "DON'T HIT REPLY ALL" to crash the entire thing. It's beautiful.

I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the helipad opening bottles. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I'm loving retarded but I don't care, I'm beautiful. I'm having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire bottle openers on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me "Apache" and respect my right to pop bottles from above and pop bottles needlessly. If you can't accept me you're a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.

Put this loser on ignore immediately!
Just want to say, I love these stories of clusterfucking almost as much as you all probably do & ty for posting them. I was allllllllll about being in the army when i was a little kid and then i decided not to because iraq 2.0 was going on. I did go running with my college's ROTC class in '08 for exercise and I wondered how many of them wearing that stupid as poo poo gravel pit camo were going to end up dead/limbless/shooting themselves in a VA clinic.

Anyway getting that degree instead was probably best decision I ever made. so that's my story :tipshat:
