I got debt collection calls for a woman at least 3 times a week in college. That dorm room had been for men only for over 15 years. Good job.

The worst is if you buy a domain. I bought one for a side business I'm starting up and I didn't do the private option and I was getting 5-6 dead air calls every day.

If you register a domain and don't want to pay the extra money to register it privately, put someone's phone number that you hate and there's almost nothing they can do about it because the numbers are different every single time.

I gave my future soldiers! deps like a 20min block of instruction on not buying an expensive car, not buying poo poo from aafes kiosks and swords and poo poo, just all that usual stupid poo poo privates do. I had some come back and be like WHOA SGT HCT YOU'RE RIGHT PEOPLE ARE DUMB

one kid missed that training or didn't care and bought a truck at AIT (which I don't even understand how that was possible) at 27%. If any of you guys are Stryker Mechanics at Lewis..well sorry.


edit: sorry I was still thinking the repo thing because I'm sure it got yanked

edit2: I have no proof but I almost am willing to bet a drill helped him out and got a cut like a lot of those scammy places do, and it fits in with the Traditions & Standards of the backbone of the Army, the Non Commissioned Officer

Hey guys. So I just gave up my pretty nice 2 story house with big backyard in a nice neighborhood. Well about to sell anyways. It grew about 20k in value in about a year so we could have stayed and done pretty good.

Tomorrow we hit San Diego, and pretty much no one but my dad knows about it cept you guys. I got accepted into University of San Diego which is a legit awesome fuckin school (like on a beach dudes!) and they even transferred 24 of my credits from my old school Thomas Edison State University. Which I am currently lucky again because in the middle of moving, selling my house, getting medboarded, being a dad, soldier, etc. I still was a student. I tried to take two classes at the same time to graduate TESU with an AA in Gen Studies. It had started out as 4 classes but after a month it was just two. I Aced one class, failed the other but just got an extension so I can graduate.

We are already much happier as a family, fighting and screaming as we have been thanks to stress and poo poo with aforementioned, than we ever have the 5 years we've known each other.

I really hope cream OIC is a joke.

Though I did once see a public posting of how much advance time the Bde S3 wanted to review documents based on who wrote them and their competence level. Competent captain: 15 minutes before deadline. Incompetent LT: at least 4 days in advance to allow multiple rewrites.

To be fair Ive seen a lot of counseling statements in my day that would probably take the person who wrote it four days to make it completely readable.

Congrats, bro. My wife and I just swapped an awesome 4 bedroom house on half an acre in Ann Arbor for a 900 sqft apartment in Denver. Moving was a 5 day nightmare in slow motion, but our house sold in 3 days and Denver is badass. No ragrets, best of luck in your new city!

Had one of my E4s make 5 and I was like GREAT, less consoling statements, we can split the workload it will be great.

Fucker wrote his first consoling statment in text style writing.

"U were late 4 formation"


A good NCO might have bothered teaching him or whatever but I think I just said gently caress it and kept writing them on my own. Last I heard he got busted down to 4 again, not even a year after pinning 5 so gently caress him.

I got one of these some time ago, and ended up taking a red pen to it. It was a good exercise, but the SFC at the time didn't really appreciate it and wanted to smoke me for 'scribbling' on his perfect, precious counseling statement.

I've seen people put the text into word and then 'track changes' as another passive-aggressive middle finger, too. People lose their poo poo over it.

I used to fix the grammar in my counseling statements. It probably works a lot better if you outrank the people you're correcting, because I only ever got yelled at and smoked for being a smartass

A guy tried to get out of an apft failure by checking "disagree" and writing "I was making a conscious effort to do my sit-ups properly, so the reps should count" after being cut for throwing his hands way forward on every rep past number 25 or so.

He seemed legit surprised that it didn't work and he had to retake it.

I got counseled on an APFT I failed because I was on profile. I think it blew the minds of my leadership when I checked disagree

Probably is. We did a fake memo with news story about the Army getting rid of the term "battle buddy" and replacing it with "warrior companion".

We thought it was funny.

eventually I got one to put NONE though. IDK why any one cared, but I know at least once I got told no to Atheist and it made it no pref or Christian No Denom or someshit. That might have been at basic actually.

Anyhow we had a dog tag machine in our recruiting office and let me tell what I typed whatever the gently caress I wanted on them :smug:
