Apparently they emailed my ako account that I never checked again but I had changed my phone number and never heard a word about it again.

So it looks like I'll have another 4 month wait during which time I'll probably get promoted, which is hilarious because it means I'll have to waste money getting rank sewn onto my poo poo.

Ive found the trick to working with civillians in the army is to act like an actual human being, like, if theyre in a bad mood ask if its a busy day, or bring up a piece of their obnoxious cubicle flair, it makes them much more likely to bend the rules for you. I guess its kind of like how youre supposed to repeat your name when held hostage, to humanize yourself to the killers.

I've got some pretty serious injuries too and they've always been very attentive and helpful. Heck, I'm impressed with the literal state of the art stuff they use on me/give me. Same goes for several close friends. I'm honestly wondering if it's a state thing, like my state just likes veterans better, or if people don't understand the bureaucracy and get lost in it.

Back in CT we had two hospitals for my tiny rear end state so *most* issues could be seen quickly. Getting anything from the national office is a crapshoot - you've got maybe a 10% chance of it being on-time and correct.

My next goal in life is to get a government job and continue to leech off of tax-payers money while I do the bare minimum work to not get fired. Yeah it's not glamorous, but by god someone needs to step up and serve.

Nostalgia4Butts posted:3rd brigade of 3rd ID is gone now Out of Benning? Those dudes had one of those signs that said days since DUIs and days since last fatal training accident. If they ever hit double digits on the DUIs we gave them a cheer when we drove by to dispatch. Horrifically, the fatal training accident days hit triple digits once that I saw. probably spent most of the time below 50. When Benning was hit with budget cuts everyone basically looked at 3rd ID and went "...yup".

I will be returning to NTC THE PREMIER TRAINING CENTER for the second time in ten months as a PL AGAIN so I can almost die again in a rock slide in a place called Porta Potty Wadi and drink chlorinated water that gives me the shits for two weeks and turn around full OPRDs with ten minutes of TLP time and pretend I care when the OC gives me poo poo for not having a separate DRM for each battle period and get chewed out for allowing my dudes to prep the trucks with tops off in 98 degree weather and get yelled at by SGMs for using "a civilian water source hoo-ah" and urgllgrglllurgURGLLLGRGRGRLLGLR!!!!!!!!
