The weirdest poo poo I took in the Army are those ones at the ranges in Ft Benning. Ten seconds before your poo poo hits water, very unnerving.

Sill too. Pretty sure it's universal to all BCT bases. O at least older ones. poo poo piling literally out of the porta John and you are having to gauge the exact angle you need to be to poo poo because anywhere else is not an option.

Ah, yes, taking a steamy poo poo in a frozen, overfilled portashitter on Knox during your final FTX when the drills set off arty sims right next to you... running out with your dick out. Those were the days...

We lost all septic and gray water service at Ghazni for a couple of weeks and the portajohn contractors stopped showing up the work because the Taliban were threatening them (and then the contract got outright canceled by a GS-15 contacting officer at BAF). It was to that point where you'd have to basically stand while making GBS threads to avoid sitting on a festering pile of poo poo in the hot Afghan summer. It's like I always say, it's not a good Army story unless it somehow involves poo poo. psydude fucked around with this message at 13:15 on Mar 6, 2016 |

I liked to ride jump seat with my friend who flew chinooks and I have to say as well, there is a relationship between the pilots (proper Os, but warrants also) and chinook FEs/gunners that I can't recall seeing elsewhere in the army. It may as well have been brain surgery when I watched/heard these dudes lower a 33,000lb helicopter with 20 full-ruck dudes in the back onto a some mountain in the Pech river valley, with trees and rock debris everywhere, and the rear gunner is like "down 1, back 1" and we move a little from our hover and he's like "back 1 again and you're there" and 1 means feet; he was telling the pilot to move 1 foot at a time. And my buddy does it without asking. It was pretty cool to witness. Then I went home to write S2 reports and slam ripits while wondering why I didn't go for flight school, but hey I didn't have to wait 8 years to drop my REFRAD.

Most pilots give crewchiefs a lot of respect because they couldn't fly without them. Crewchiefs do all of the maintenance on the aircraft in addition to keeping the aircraft clear of obstacles in situations where the pilots can't clear the aircraft themselves (which is a lot of the time). Crew coordination is really stressed in aviation because there's no loving around when you're doing dust landings in zero illum, etc.

My favorite poop story is NTC, like how I literally would be in the John every goddamn time we got ambushed. One time,ambush free, hear a rustlin over in the one next to me. A splash, then a "gently caress!" I was like "what'd you drop?" Voice answered back "my loving ACU." I mentioned that it's not too bad, it'll wash out, got spares. He replied "No. My loving ACH." "Oh..." Hard to suppress laughter in a porta shitter That same NTC rotation had a squad leader get his helmet poo poo on by his squad because they loving hated him. Twice.

Kung Fu Fist gently caress posted:since we tellin boot camp sick call stories, heres one for ya Fuckin' Army trying to Stolen Valor your Marine stories. I have pissed on men three times in my life. Parris Island at the range while trying to piss between a mans legs while he was making GBS threads and three other recruits tried to hit the funnel urinal as I assume multiple DI's rocked the porta-shitter. Parris Island again as I awoke from my top rack and had my dick out before hitting the floor. As I rushed towards the piss troughs I let out an ungodly fire hose stream right across the foot of a bleary eyed buck toothed shower shoe shod motherfucker who simply looked down and said "What the gently caress, man?" in the most defeated way possible. Camp Lejeune, off base, my buddy passed out in front of the only toilet. When I awoke I thought I'd done a fantastic job exercising courtesy in not waking him up and at the same time aiming diligently. The flip-phone camera footage proved otherwise in addition to my boy asking if there were any cats in the house because all he could smell on the air mattress was piss. When I saw the Wolf of Wall Street Lambo scene I laughed inordinately. These vignettes are profound metaphors for not joining or respecting the military. It'd behoove you to promulgate them, what do I know and who needs to know it?

Does the VA automatically accept Army (or other service) medboard ratings? I'd be surprised if that's the case, you'd expect the VA to do their own assessment. Or if they do it's a fuckup. I got two different QTC appointments two months apart. There was also some some crap I didn't understand about how it happens through two different programs. I'd just go, explain what your situation is, and see if they can figure it out from there.

So with the new process (last like 5 years or so) the VA determines the ratings for the Army and your VA disability. The Army only gets to say whether you stay in or get out, they no longer have any say whatsoever in your rating or whether or not you are retired. After the PEB decides that you are no longer fit for duty the VA has to give you a rating and they usually schedule a QTC appointment with some contracted doctor's office to determine how hosed up you are. The doctor will fill out a form provided by the VA called a Disability Benefit Questionnaire, or DBQ, which then gets sent to the VA. They then compare the DBQ to the VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities (VASRD) to find your condition, or the closest analogous condition, and how bad it affects you to determine your ratings. Those ratings are sent back to the PEB and you have one opportunity to appeal it before are separated. The Army will take the ratings for all of the conditions that the PEB decided made you unfit for duty and that will determine whether you are medically retired or separated with severance. You can and should take a look at the DBQs here and find the ones that relate to your condition: http://www.benefits.va.gov/compensation/dbq_ListByDBQFormName.asp Remember with these QTC appointments, they want to know your limitations on your worst day, not your best. Make sure to tell them how bad and limiting your condition really is when it is at it's worst to make sure that you get rated properly.

As a guy who helps Soldiers/Marines etc do this stuff, don't be a tough guy over this. BE HONEST ABOUT WHAT PROBLEMS YOU HAVE. I've recently helped a lot of old codgers who have been disabled for decades and never filed VA disability because they didn't want to seem like weaklings. Only now are they realizing all the EARNED benefits they have been leaving on the table for years. Stuff like: Free college for your kids, a small/large pile of tax free money every month, pretty decent medical care for your issues, etc, etc.

This 1LT stands up and tells us all he's in the nation of islam and how it showed him the truth about blah blah blah. The dude would opine about evil homosexuals all day every day. None of the instructors did anything about his daily hate spiel because I guess he was a loud black man that would call them racist.

well, unlike every other decision made by the Army, they sent out surveys about DADT to spouses and poo poo in order to drag their feet as long as possible and hopefully not implement it. Army really is ok with homophobia and poo poo.

Chaplain corps needs to be dismantled, or at least severely downsized to only providing religious services on post churches if we must. The fact that they're supposed to be your go to source for any sort of counseling & assigned at a BN level is some loving 1950s poo poo. that being said, being a chaplain would own if you were ok with limited promotion opportunities.
