Why a tanker? Did she see Fury and thought "tight cramped space? Yes please!" Or just envisioned herself as a chick Brad Pitt? I'd go with Brad Pitt cause that dude ages well.

Hey SGT you need to email me a reminder whenever I don't respond to your sections supply requests, 'rah? I'm a busy Muhreen Captain been doing this for 21 years, why aren't you doing pullups with me? Also why the gently caress are you emailing me directly? gently caress the military, gently caress this command, gently caress my life, gently caress me until I die, but first gently caress the Army and the Marines for being stupid pieces of poo poo, gently caress people who say they're a "type A personality," gently caress DoD purchasing processes, gently caress satellites, gently caress Africa, gently caress dirt, gently caress these loving crows that poo poo on everything, gently caress this gay earth. Seriously.

Everything in radio communications runs on FM. loving Magic. Watching the salty old timers who knew their poo poo in long haul radio comms at some of the places I've been has been equal parts horrifying and fascinating. I watched one guy who had been in the shop longer than I was in high school whip out a ball peen hammer and start pounding on a tube amplifier. My initial reaction was "holy gently caress what the loving gently caress?" because these things are basically a pipe that we're conditioned from day one to not even think too loudly about dropping something on or hitting since if you bend one the signal output is hosed and you lose everything. So seeing him wailing on it with a hammer is just bizarre. As I'm watching in horrified fascination thinking he's trying to get fired or something I see he moves a magnet along the side of the copper tube and does it again. So he's pounding on a pipe he shouldn't be and then using a magnet on copper, I'm thoroughly lost at this point so I just give up and ask he's doing. He has a ball bearing on the inside of the tube, held in place by the magnet, and he's moving it around to modify the output of the tube by blocking the portion where the bearing is. When he fines a spot that tunes it right he smacks the tube with the hammer and dents that spot to tune it.

loving CIF. I don't know how many times they expect me to wash my IOTV with oxy clean because that drat red stain from that horrible Georgia red clay will not come out and the most easily stainable cammo pattern ever created isn't helping matters.

Pull the cord, strip all the kevlar and poo poo out. Grab one of those U-shaped scrub brushes, go to one of the on-post car washes and lay your poo poo out. Get it damp, scrub with the oxy clean, then pressure wash the bitch. If it's super-turbo hosed you can try soaking it in a tub with a LITTLE bit of oxy clean, stirring the poo poo around a bit every 30mins or so for a couple hours.

What really pisses me off about it is that I was issued my IOTV with that stain already on it. So somebody there was willing to accept it at one point but obviously not the guy I had today. I never laid down in any mud or did anything that added any new stains to it. I haven't tried the pressure washer method but I've taken all the inserts out and put through it the washer with oxy clean multiple times.

If it's not high enough get your commander to abuse his.

Does your post have a quartermaster laundry facility a lot of the times they do it for free and if you bring the receipt CIF isn't allowed to reject it. CIF actually did me a solid once, when we were turning in in basic training, we had to do a full TA-50 layout on our bunks at the end of basic, and I was stuck cleaning the latrine with 5 other dudes for 5 hours while my poo poo was sitting out getting what I can only imagine periodically pilfered to fill in whatever everyone else was missing (we also shared a bay with another platoon so it literally could have been 100 different people). When we went to CIF to turn in the lady looked at what I had and what I was missing and it was like $3,000 worth of poo poo missing or something ridiculous like that, I told her what happened and she said gently caress that and I didn't get charged for poo poo.

I know a guy who did the same thing with an ammo pouch, they turned him away like 3 times until he bleached all of the color out of it and they got pissed but had to accept it.

Ended up going back again in the afternoon and was able to turn all my poo poo in. Dude barely looked at it and just signed my paper. The only response I can imagine to a LT trying to throw his rank around is laughter, as a 2LT in TRADOC land anyway. Well..accept for the basic trainees, they lose their poo poo when they see an officer. Was pretty funny when I ran into my my drill sergeants and their platoon at the PX on Sand HIll. Utter chaos.

The most fun is when you get a new mid-grade officer that's never worked with contractors, but has drank the Army koolaid heavily. The gang of cynical contractors I work with is breaking the brain of a new major on a regular basis that just came from Korea. "I want to speak with everyone at 7am to get the day started" "sorry major, core hours are 9am-3pm so no can do" "Bring this down to <place>" "sorry major, admin duties aren't in scope" (lol @ getting a senior epidemiologist to be your loving errand boy) There are literally six people in my entire 200 person org that doesn't have at least a masters degree, most of them are PhDs.

Haha, nah I'll leave that to the West Pointers. I go by the whole "don't be a dick" thing and it's worked out well for me so far. Some of the West Pointers I was clearing CIF with were being pretty confrontational and as a consequence a lot of them had a bunch of poo poo kicked back and told to come back on Monday. I was just told to throw my poo poo in the washer and come back in the afternoon.
