dude, if we go to war what if he pulls an Eisenhower and writes a letter to everyone in the military that's going to invade "Hey guys Donald trump, just wanted to let you guys know that we're gonna do great, and i mean really great in this war. You guys are all wonderful people just like myself and trust me, I know what i'm doing in regards to this invasion. Now Hillary won't tell you this but I have LOTS of money and will make sure we make this country were invading is great again."

My favorite SDO story is from when I had just gotten to my unit. SDO shifts were pretty lax. Like HCT says, you would show up (or even just call) like twice a day. Half of the time you could get away with just leaving your number with the NCO on duty the night before and forget about it. It was easy. One of my fellow LTs thought it would be a great idea that since his Saturday was quasi-ruined anyway as the SDO, he might as well get some personal stuff done. He decided to detail his nasty truck right in front of the battalion's main building, which was facing a fairly busy street within the base. Anyhow, he's got his tunes going, jacket off, no cover, scrubbing away on his Tahoe, or whatever, and guess who happens to pull up to check on how things are going? The battalion loving commander. The commander proceeds to chew out the LT for bringing irreparable shame upon himself, his unit and the U.S. Army for washing his car during his SDO shift (can't have the rest of Fort Campbell think the that his precious battalion wasn't AIRBORNE loving RANGER 24/7 HOOAH at all times). We all come to work that following Monday and my CO pulls me and the other LTs into his office (Car Wash LT was in my company) and tells us in no-uncertain-terms that we are not to do anything that isn't explicitly in the SDO guidance book, that the BN CDR is pissed (he was an rear end in a top hat anyway) and that the rest of the BN's LTs were getting the same spiel we are. As punishment, Car Wash LT is going to have to work the SDO shift again next weekend. We all say fine, give Car Wash LT a healthy amount of poo poo, and move on. Next weekend comes around and it's time for Car Wash LT to pull his punishment SDO shift. Repentant, but not deterred from finishing the car-detailing job he was unable to complete last weekend, the LT does some mental math. The guidance for SDOs was to do some random inspections around the battalion's AO (motorpool, barracks, etc.). He figures, he'll go do that boring poo poo and then take care of his nasty truck. "I'm not washing it in front of the battalion HQ this time." he thinks. "I'll be fine just getting it cleaned up at the car wash." So, he pulls into the car wash on base, runs his truck through it, and is getting ready to use the complimentary vacuums when a car violently pulls up next to him. He looks up from picking crud off of his dashboard to the sight of a red-faced and livid battalion commander. The commander proceeds to lose his loving mind on the LT, thinking that this dumb son of a bitch is mocking his command authority and doesn't give a flying gently caress. We come in on Monday and the rear end in a top hat BN CDR calls an all-hands officer-only meeting (I'm shocked he didn't call us all in during the weekend) and proceeds to verbally abuse his staff and commanders for being pieces of human poo poo. We get released and find out that Car Wash LT has to work SDO shifts for a month straight and forever-more the SDO shift will now be a gigantic pain in the dick for the rest of us.

SDO at an old unit was super chill for LTs and CPTs. Then 3 loving LTs no-show back to back on a Friday-Sunday. Starting the next weekend BDE staff duty was a 24 hour on-site shift where the NCO did some minor checks and the officer had to walk for a solid 3.5-4.5 hours for each of the 3 rounds of checks if they actually did all the checks. They spot checked enough for it to be a bad idea not to do checks. BN Cdr didn't like the idea of BN staff duty officers having the next day off. It was a 24 hour duty with a cot in the corner and you were instructed to log 4 hours of sleep then work the next day. An LT got a stern talking to when he logged a bit over 6 hours of sleep. We hated the LTs who no-showed. A lot. NCOs thought that poo poo was funny, as well they should have.

I had kind of a WTF moment after a 12 hour overnight SDO shift during AT. SDNCO is a disgrunted E5, and my runner was a fairly fresh E2 or E3 I think. I kept a cot next to the desk and told the runner to wake me up if anything happened- phone ringing, radio calls aside from checks, building on fire, etc. Anyways disgruntled E5 waits about 15 minutes after I fall asleep and tells the runner he's going to check on the barracks and never comes back. Nothing else comes up during the night and my alarm wakes me up around dawn-ish. I look around and ask the runner where SGT so-and-so went. He went to the barracks around 2 AM to check on it and never came back Why didn't you wake me up when he was gone too long? I was scared to wake you. Turns out the NCO was done with the Army. He peaced out to the barracks to get his stuff, stole an LMTV, and drove back to his home armory. It turned out with couldn't charge him with stealing the truck since technically it was just moved from one military facility to another by a soldier on AT orders. Dude just got chaptered, and the runner got a talking to that this is exactly the kind of poo poo you should wake the SDO up for.

LT in my unit in Korea decided to take a break from his SDO shift at Camp Hovey and swing off post for dinner. In Uijeongbu, a 30 minute drive away. Proceeds to get shithammered over the course of the next couple hours and eventually realizes that he's dangerously close to missing the 0100 curfew, to say nothing of his notional SDO duties. While rushing back to Hovey, he runs a red light and plows into a cab. The cops arrive to find the cab driver beating the poo poo out of the drunk, bloodied LT. His BAC at the hospital was something absurdly high, like 0.24. (No one in the crash was seriously hurt) SDO guidance was then refined to prohibit basically anything except sitting behind the desk and doing checks. Commander would regularly drop by and skull drag the SDO for sleeping/reading/eating/working/using a cellphone, or allowing the NCO and runners to do any of the above. And of course the DUI LT was prohibited from pulling duty.

Staff Duty stories? I have one hell of a weekend from the 82d. During SD and CQ there was no loving sleeping. Ever. Well, one day the Division Commander comes by to my sister BN (325 AIR) and finds the CQ NCO and the runner nodded the gently caress out. The DivCMDR wakes the NCO and says that he would like to check the Barracks. The NCO asks the General who the gently caress he is rolling in to the CQ in civvies and why he wants to check the Barracks. The General gives this fine NCO his ID, to which the Sergeant checks, and then goes back to loving sleep. The General walks through the Barracks, and finds two NCOs playing Russian Roulette. Tons of underage drinking and whores in the Barracks. He checks some other Batts, and finds a tons more fuckery. The clincher for this Friday was at another unit (I think it was the Panthers or DIVARTY) a kid on suicide watch was given a can of fuel and told to refill the Humvee out front. The CQ NCO and Runner think nothing of it. The kid set himself on fire. Like no poo poo, set himself on fire. All of this, along with a ton of DUIs and (IIRC) three motorcycle fatalities in 30 hours. It was a fun couple weeks at Bragg. Once I was the runner on Regimental SD and when the Commander came in, I stood to call At Ease, and the Colonel told me, "Shut the gently caress up. I am trying to sneak in here and ghost out. Don't call at ease, don't notify the SD NCO, and sure as gently caress don't put out the flag. Put it out right before you get relieved, and tell them I am in my office."

SD stories, yay! I ended up working a Saturday to cover the KU Football team coming on post to check out some dumb army thing (I think it was combatives) on Saturday, which ended up taking most of the day. When I get back to the Barracks, my SSG calls me up and tells me that I have to take his SD shift on Sunday, but I'll get Monday off in return. Spend most of the night editing photos and getting stuff ready for release. Go through the whole shift on Sunday, went through a four-pack of redbull, a pitcher of coffee and assorted lickies and chewies to stay awake. Get visits by the CSM, Company command and Battalion command. Thankfully, no drunk van calls. Finally end shift and I have to go do my RFI draw, including being voluntold to take a class on how to disassemble/reassemble the IOTV so I can teach the company. On about 50 hours of no sleep. Never did get that Monday off.

SD stories continue. SDO comes in to grab me and we go on the barracks check. Only guy to ever grab the NCO for this, but he wanted to do it. So we start walking the foot print when a fire truck and ambulance come through sirens blaring. Of course I had just said something to the effect of, "at least nothing is on fire tonight". Lo and behold, a barracks has a fire. The LT looks at me, I look at the building number. Different BDE. Victory. He even asked if we needed to call anyone. Silly LT.
