I am a medical professional and I can tell you guys with 90% confidence that it's not good to have a 40MM grenade embedded into your face. Again, you can get a second opinion but I believe that other healthcare professionals will agree with me.

Bullshit, big pharma just wants you to think that you need "modern medicine" for a grenade to the face. Stop trying to fix everything with pills and maybe look into a good chiropractor.

Smiling Jack posted:jfc I would never make it in the military how the gently caress did you guys put up with that poo poo I joined the AF in the late '90s and at that time it was similar to working a normal civilian job at a large company. You get a different type of stupidity than you get at a large company but it's still stupid. I went out and did poo poo off base on the weekends instead of staying in the dorm getting drunk like a lot of people that hated being there did. Our main focus in basic was marching and folding clothes. We went to the range one day, ran an obstacle course another day, ran 3 times a week. Other than that, marching, folding clothes, and checking folded clothes to see if the TI slipped laundry tags in the pockets. No tear gas or playing war games like I guess they do now. I did spend my first 3 years on mobility and that sucked balls. Never had to deploy to Korea or Saudi. I would have had to go if I wasn't going back to the states right after getting my 5 level. I also missed one deployment somewhere because they never sent paperwork to our squadron. Instead they sent to directly to my email and the one time I checked it, I saw that whatever group I was supposed to go with somewhere was just about ready to leave but since nobody knew anything about it, I didn't have to go.

Up till then, I'd only been in one shop that even had a computer to use and all it did was collect dust. This was also back in the days of dial up and websites were filled with poo poo like "Mr. T ate my balls" and jolly rogers cookbook.

MrYenko posted:The good old days, in other words. I would have traded it for the ability to buy things off the internet. Shopping on base was like having only one store in your town and that store is Ross Dress For Less. It's run by high school dropouts, the equivalent of your typical dependent. One of the managers at AAFES wrote an open letter to everyone because they were getting swamped with people saying a Wal-Mart should open on base, which would never happen anyway, but he wrote this long thing about how it would be the worst thing in the world because they'd both compete with each other in a price war that consisted of each store raising it's prices higher than the other one. At any rate, that seemed to shut people up even though that's the opposite of how reality works.

Um, wouldn't they lower their prices to compete? Money that goes to aafes goes back to the community blah blah blah, but there are different reasons to shop there. Like tax free.

Tax free, but here's a surcharge that coincidentally works out to roughly the same amount.

Godholio posted:Tax free, but here's a surcharge that coincidentally works out to roughly the same amount. Commisary does that. AAFES/NEX is supposedly at "market value" and self supporting through profits. Only time it really works is when you get them to price match something that a real store has on a huge discount because it hasn't sold in two years, and AAFES/Exchange still has it at full price because boots are loving stupid. I got my laptop there because they price matched Amazon, and tax free, and I could have it now. Sometimes works out for large appliances too.

I don't think I bought a single thing from an PX that wasn't attached to a gas station, and most of the time it was a liquid that came measured in handles or candy that came in a patriotic bag for a dollar. Then again, I never needed appliances and I built my own computer. The mini-mall at Ft. Bragg started selling guns at the sporting goods store right before I left. Commissaries, though, they were generally pretty good.

Not military, but I have a fun little AAFES story. I used to work for a futon manufacturer that had an AAFES contract or whatever we sold futons through it. Anyway, one of my various jobs was answering the AAFES specific customer service and tech support line, which was 99% unremarkable dipshits who were exactly the sort of person you think of when you consider the idea of someone needing tech support for a futon. Then I got the special call. So how much liquid can the futon mattresses soak up? You mean like water? Uh... sorta. *muffled, like the guy was holding his hand over the phone receiver and speaking to someone on his end, in a nervous tone* Most people have like two gallons, right? I think I remember that from health class.... gently caress. *hangs up*  Given that the caller ID said it was from Okinawa, I can't see some soldier or marine or whatever making a prank call at what was the rear end in a top hat of the middle of the night to them, and they sounded serious. Like if they were joking, they were Andy Kaufmann good. Anyway, that's the story of how I think I accidentally helped a marine kill a hooker.

I just ate a Spanish ration. It was pretty lovely all things considered, but it's nice to know that the Spanish don't even trust their soldiers not to eat their matches. So I guess things are the same across the Atlantic.
