Fart Sandwiches: Apr 4, 2006; i never asked for this

I was flying back to Pensacola through Atlanta once and my entire flight was filled with boots headed to various schools in the area. They got plenty of "thank you for servings" and a special call out by the flight attendant and people clapped. The guy put in charge of their muster sheet got upgraded k first class and I bet that pussy didn't even get a drink.

There was a marine dude on leave that flight who was acting all hardcore like heh yeah well I'm a a marine and when I asked what he did he said he was stationed in Gulfport for weatherman school lol

I convinced the kid next to me that the in flight lovely headphones were better than his beats (lol) because the airplane ones went IN your ear.

Basically all enlisted are dumb as gently caress

Edit: and I cut in line in front of a bunch of them to get my seat quicker and got lots of dirty looks gently caress you boot

You guys actually type out your signature blocks every time? You know outlook will add it on every email, right? All my emails have the v/r but if it's going to someone I know I add my callsign to the end of the actual message.

I swear to loving god. Is it that loving hard to buy a cheap pair of jeans, a non navy sweater, or anything at all... The amount of boots with that loving boot camp bullshit or PT poo poo on is astounding when it gets even the smallest chill. It's not even a basic NEX trip, at the loving mall or eating out with friends. Just buy some loving clothes!

Last year the minute I got to Pensacola I spent around a 100 on civilian clothes.
A bunch of retards blew their entire savings on laptops and xboxes and had to wait until their next check to buy some clothes.

People are crazy proud about their boot divisions now. I stumbled across some boot division Facebook groups with 70+ members meaning nearly every one of those fuckers joined it.

There's a couple dudes I'd like to find to see what they're up to. Like my rack mate who would give himself a boner right before the guy doing inspections came by so a person stared at the outline of a boner in a uniform. Pretty funny stuff.

No, sorry, I thought you were referring to the Correspondence Manual (5216.5) which was updated earlier this year to include email correspondence.

Ah I was always using the social usage and protocol manual because the correspondence man didn't include email or anything. Regardless gently caress that poo poo. Email sigs are loving stupid.

Sent my DH an email signed "Extremely respectful in a very respective tone", forgot to change it since that's usually my sig for messages I have with friends. Heard her laughter from her office and learned how much everyone that isn't a total tool bag hates emails.

gently caress IT too, the one at our command enforces having the whole V/r name phone and some massive paragraph telling people to delete the email if it has information they aren't supposed to see.

No IT person ever likes that poo poo but someone threatened to drop a bag of hammers on them if it didn't become policy.

lol the IT LTs are the loving worst. Failed pilots that are pissed at their poo poo job so take very serious. Got my internet taken away not because of too much bandwidth but too much bandwidth used in comparison to everyone at the time, at 3 am, on night shift. That's how they judged usage. The only way to get it back was to have your loving DH email him and presumably tell him you got a stern talking to. Not to mention a pissed off LPO and write up. Sent me a huge beautiful graph too outlining the usage in mbs and poo poo.

Don't even get me started on the ship ones.

The kicker is that it was because two others had already lost theirs and needed mine to check poo poo

What I'm saying here is gently caress the Navy

As an XO if I gave out my number I would be getting calls constantly from every rear end in a top hat on base who wants to tell me how they think my ship/sailors should act or who wants to "personally schedule" their bullshit office to come over and give my crew a brief about some dumb bullshit.

Besides, even if you work in some "customer service" based shop you should force everything to email anyway so that you have your conversations documented. You would be surprised at how much dumb poo poo gets filtered out just by forcing people to write it in an email.

The only reason I ever took someone's internet away was because I caught them browsing porn on a govt computer, and that only happened because the watch at UARNOC called me directly on the ship while I was underway and said there was someone trying to get around their filters to get at porn.
