Nostalgia4Butts posted:why did he admit that I told stories about this guy before (probably this one too), but I served with a dude who asked our platoon sergeant why a bunch of high school kids were in our armory during a drill weekend. "They're taking the ACT," he was told. "ACT? Man, I don't think I could pass no drug test." This guy made PFC like four times, made SPC by accident, lost it a few weeks later for failing to be on time to formations during demob and for getting caught wearing poo poo he hadn't earned (jump wings, combat patches for units he'd never even seen, etc.). Bragged about his tax-free reenlistment bonus. Then deserted and had to pay it all back.

Apparently somebody higher up in the food chain decided we should no longer use our armories on drill weekend. The rear det has a FOB out back to simulate being "down-range" and can no longer leave or drink until after final formation. They have toilets and working on adding showers. At least the landing pad is up so brigade doesn't have to drive an hour anymore. My time is up right after this deployment and everybody keeps wondering why I'm not signing back to do mini-AT every month.

Happened to a buddy of mine except "fence" was Constantina wire and the "wind" was rotor wash and the "FOB" was some poor loving kid in the wrong place at the wrong time. All because someone couldn't read a map in the dark and marked LZ too close to fortification.

gently caress people that just leave that poo poo in the middle of the woods though. The woods on Benning are full of old rusty concertina wire that just looks like normal vines until you're right on top of it.

Going out to talk to the Brigade Commander, ended up snagging myself on some rusty c-wire. Walked it off. Currently have a scar from where the wire dug out a chunk from my calf, and ruined a pair of uniform trousers. I wasn't drinking enough water, apparently.

We did a blank fire prepared defense scenario using real human bean opfor and they gave us real c-wire to use to make our defenses. Needless to say opfor got injured because they attacked at night and they didn't let opfor have NODs so they ran into a bunch of c-wire anyways that's my c-wire story. They might as well have given us real claymores with how far up their rear end they were about "realism", fuckers only have 30 rounds of blanks per person then yelled at people saying "bang bang" when they ran out. aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAARMY training!

I don't have a c-wire story but I do have a barb wire story! We had a company night attack, Opfor decided to string up barb wire neck high 15 meters from their positions. We had a guy bound up, hit the barb wire, and had his throat almost slit.
