Vasudus posted:when i was in, i was the unit superstar i was the poster model infantryman because of my combat experience in iraq (most of the dudes in my unit hadn't ever deployed, transferred from the navy or air force, etc so i was looked at as the one with the most experience i guess), got nothing but praise from everyone, didn't get hosed with because i did my job and i did it well. everyone competent left after our afghan deployment, i got thrown into the training room NCO position, with no support whatsoever for a year. S-1 or whoever the gently caress hosed up and never cut me orders, even though apparently i had orders for germany. no one told me of this. i also only had 6 loving months left until my ETS. i then have to go to a meeting with our batallion csm and my 1sg, who proceeded to try to intimidate me into reenlisting. i went back and forth on the idea for a couple days, then found my nuts and told them no way in gently caress i'm reenlisting. then i was the instant shitbag/pariah overnight. then that whole debacle of getting punched by my supervisor happened, and i was feeling exactly like soulex is feeling right now. so yeah man, i feel you right now soulex but just remind yourself you're almost out and gently caress the army. it's loving hard dealing with that kind of fuckery, but you're so close to your freedom dude.

At least your CO hasn't made you buy a grand worth of t-shirts that he gave to recruits while you were on your way out the door.

poo poo still loving pisses me off, i loving want all those fucks to die. they hadn't seen a loving sliver of the poo poo i'd seen. i'm not trying to loving brag, i had a poo poo deployment, had way too many friends die, and got in lots and lots of firefights. these chucklefucks were the kind of dickweeds who would rather be in a peacetime army and just screw with everyone. i just felt like i'd been spit upon by these assholes, i never got in trouble or did typical dumb infantry poo poo like DUIs or anything, i loving went above and beyond to do my job well and take care of my guys.....and then on the way out that is what i got, spit in my face and literally punched in the face, called a shitbag and piece of poo poo and every insult under the sun. this is what i loving get for going through all the hosed poo poo i went through in iraq? this is the 'thanks' i get for killing motherfuckers and protecting my guys? this is what i get for all that loving horseshit? gently caress the god drat loving army, and gently caress everyone in it. the only worthy people know better to get the gently caress out. everyone that willingly stays in needs to all be lined up in a row and loving shot.

Honestly, civilians don't know crap about awards. They see the national defense service medal and think your a war hero. They see any kind of bronze star and they think they're talking to the reincarnation of audie murphy.

Zeris posted:Nobody will respect you if your entire rack isn't on your resume and LinkedIn, bitch Motherfucker was listing his NDM and poo poo; I basically showed my boss the wikipedia pages on all the awards and explained that pretty much anyone can get anything under a bronze star without someone relatively important saying no. That guy didn't make it. Mr. Nice! posted:At least your CO hasn't made you buy a grand worth of t-shirts that he gave to recruits while you were on your way out the door. We have a guy in our shop that decided to design a section shirt because our command wouldn't shut the gently caress up about needing a designer; they ended up making him order them, he ended up fronting the cash for getting them out here. The head shed loving "lost track" of who got the first shipment of shirts, and ended up costing him $200 of random shirts. They were loving shocked and wounded that he would not give them the second shipment to distribute. Wasabi the J fucked around with this message at 05:54 on Jun 24, 2016 |

I don't think I ever got more than 1-2 medals actually given to me. Like I was maybe presented 1 of my AAMs and 1 Arcom, the rest I just got the certificate.

Heck, I was "awarded" a lot of my medals at ceremonies and then had them immediately taken back up (because they were just for the ceremony). I'll have to make a trip to the PX to snag them because right now I just wear the ribbons on a pre-made rack. I don't think anybody actually wears medals except with the clown suit (and those are the mini medals).

Hey, I'm proud of some of the poo poo I've done; same could be said for anyone who's put effort into living. But have some loving modesty, especially when your accomplishments are completely average; listing that you earned a couple of ribbons in service does nothing to say what you bring to the loving table, and makes you look like you're trying too loving hard.

To us it does seem tryhard. But to civilians even the most minor thing is blown waaay out of proportion in their minds. I can recall being absolutely terrified of this captain with a ranger tab back when i was a private in the 90's. The stupid poo poo we believed about how you got a tab and all that dumb stuff. Same thing with airborne wings. Now I don't even notice those things.

Mike-o posted:I'm the gay cowboy mechanic I wanna be the gay cowboy mechanic. I know what's been transpiring over the last few days seems mellow dramatic and pedantic and to some extent maybe it is. I mean this is 9 years of my life man. I could have spent that going to college and that stuff or getting arrested for making donkey porn. Whatever the options were there. And it's stupid. Awards chat: I think posting a picture of your awards on LinkedIn is stupid. Sure, talk about them. I'm very proud of the majority of my awards because they were largely impact awards. The "Thanks for coming out" awards are like 2? I didn't get one my last duty station and here. So they mean something to me. I'm gonna be all fancy with my poo poo too as soon as I figure out how to incorporate my 2 foreign shooting badges. 1 more week. Suck my dick. I think my first line heard me bitching enough that she is gonna buy me a small goin away plaque or something. Super  about that cause she's a cool buff take no poo poo black lesbian who loving is amazing at her job and a calm killer to boot.
