Spokane is a terrible place for garbage people, but Leavenworth is pretty cool

Also glad to hear that you're doing okay, Mike-O :unsmith:
The forums are surprisingly forgiving. I had a wicked meltdown here probably 5 years ago which lost me a shot at a cool job, and nobody has ever brought it up. Kinda :coal: actually

After pushing my vulnerable, raw body through the razorwire shithole that is my orderly room, battalion S1, and Brigade s1 and twice daily phonecalls to HRC and USAEUR, my early separation for employment at a grand total of six months shaved off my ETS has been approved. My freedom is only four months away, six years later.

It's like the stages of grief.

First, you grow a beard.
Then, you become an alcoholic.
After that, your crippling PTSD and/or other deep rooted psychological issues need to be addressed. This is around the stage you're probably getting divorced.
Then you become a semi-useful member of society, get help for things, meet new people, go to school and not get kicked out of places.
<a few years pass>
Then you become a fully useful member of society, and you are finally out of the military.

Yes. That was my only entertainment in Iraq for months. Because "only government websites blah blah cyber terrorism blah blah"

I'm bored enough and stuck at work doing nothing, so I'll see if I can find these forums. I've never seen them before, either.

[edit] Okay, gently caress this. Finding anything on AKO is an exercise in futility. I'm going back to reading these forums instead.

You don't remember your 17 character password with two forms of punctuation, two capital letters and two numbers? You probably JUST changed your password in the last few weeks!

I only have one because, in AIT, one of my instructors pulled out a stack of keyboards with smartcard slots. He gave everyone in my class one and told us that if anyone asked, we "found them on the side of the road."

So, uh, I guess I mean I found a CAC keyboard on the side of the road.

I still never use it, though. gently caress checking my low-side email or anything Army related at home.

I knew someone that changed his password ten times in a row every single time because he wanted to use the same password again.

He's a warrant now.

Some of the best stuff is found on the side of the road. I got a promask off the Graf-Vilseck tank trail. My NCO buddy found an IBA. Soldiers are dumb and lose poo poo, but I get your meaning. I've been friends with supply and had poo poo "fall off a truck"

Am I correct in my assumption, you fish-faced enemy of the people?
I "found" two BlackHawk STOMP II aid bags and an M9 aid bag all fully stocked, almost a full box of PMAGs, a $200 stethoscope, a MK19 ammo can full of IV fluids, and enough other poo poo to fill up a small toughbox. This is what happens when a PV2 is the only one in the aid station that knows how to order, organize, and inventory supply poo poo.

I still regret not swiping an EZ-IO drill for the gently caress of it.

We had to jump through all these goddamn hoops and it turns out those same passwords are probably stored in plaintext on a Chinese-maintained server along with our history of extramarital affairs and debt.
