I legitimately like the video in that avatar text link. It owns.

There's a part of my brain that picks up weird obscure music and I have to place where I heard it before. In this case I heard that song before I loving joined the Army and before Youtube was really a thing.

We awaken from our slumber before sunrise and do not care for it, not at all. I have my first meal very early and am famished as a canine by mid day. I engaged the Culinary Non-Comissioned Officer in conversation from the submissive position of fellatio and pleaded for nourishment. My pleas fell on deaf ears as, with a masochistic smile, he told me if I wanted to belong to this unit I would be required to starve myself. Army many times, I have romantic feelings for the Army.

Medium sized cargo aircraft traversing the runway. Slightly over five dozen Airborne qualified persons without a return flight on a highly sensitive national security mission to an undisclosed location. They will all likely die in unknown graves. During this moment of inner reflection and concern for their safety, they exit the aircraft using static line parachutes. If those fail, they have a backup chute on their persons. If that also fails to open, they plummet to their deaths.

You forgot the part where whoever singing it inserts their own (usually non-airborne) unit into the cadence in place of the Airborne qualified persons, thereby increasing the chances of severe injury upon hitting the ground.

Most of my leave snafus have been errors in favor of myself.

Not so with pay.


It also helps that if they say my leave form isn't at the staff duty desk, I leave anyway and figure it out when I get back.

MEANWHILE,
I have to walk past the ROTC building here at school and all I can do is look with sadness at the cadets in their ACUs, while I think about how gay as gently caress the army is going to be when they hit the force.

But then I walk right into the student center and buy some coffee and a bagel with sweet GI bill cash while sporting a month-old beard and I remember my life kicks rear end.

Don't do ROTC.

gently caress the army.

Meh. It wasn't too bad. They paid full tuition well above what SLRP would have covered if I'd done something like OCS, gave me $1200 a year for books (of which I usually only spent like $150), and paid me a couple hundred bucks a month tax free.

I went to an ROTC college and laughed at all those dipshits in class with me. They were constantly struggling to stay awake and talking about all the dumb extra stuff they had to do and yelling dumbfuck HOOAH things at each other whenever they walked by each other outside.

Then I joined the Army anyway as an E-4 and found out I'm the dumb one. Hooah.

I'm told that there are numerous advantages to being in the army as the provisions and female company are quite excellent, however I discovered that these descriptions were inaccurate and that the truth is rather disturbing and they are keeping me from returning to my place of residence. They also want to know who told me about the supposed advantages.

I thought about not singing, but I know we're going to run, so I might as well sing songs. I didn't pack my space-suit, I'm worried, because they keep saying our final destination is the sun. That sounds scary, ah gently caress, now they say I might as well clap my hands for the same reason?


Also I want to find out who first wrote of World War I the line "we kicked some rear end and had some fun" and just throttle that person. Then again "A++ would do again" is kind of an accurate review of that war.

As much as I like to complain about enlisted life, I am honestly not sure I would have comissioned if I had the opportunity to do it all again. I had a specific goal in mind when I joined and the MOS I chose helped me progress on that path. I'll have done my 4, gotten my clearance/CI poly, a handful of technical certifications, GI Bill, a freebie-degree that's at least something for a resume, and contacts. Officer pay would have been nice, but not being able to choose my field kind of turned me off on it.

On a related note, I still think it's weird that Army officers can't choose where they go and enlisted can, meanwhile it's the opposite in the Navy.

I am romantically involved with a woman who is currently comatose in the hospital and I would gladly pay any amount of money to keep her alive. Also she attempted to get the court to order me to pay child support payments, but I refused because I know that I am not the father. I can only assume this story gets worse but we never marched long enough to hear the end and I can only assume that the "punchline" was domestic violence.

There's also one with questionably accurate reminiscences of President Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Senator Robert Kennedy which asserts all three were shot "in the early morning rain" despite all of them being shot on days with pleasant weather and only RFK being shot "in the early morning" (if just after midnight qualifies as early morning).

You get it during your final out. You only get 1 copy, and it's the only copy, no they can't print another one out for you right then and there it (naturally) has to be complicated.

8 years. Don't forget reserve. Unless you medboard.

I would have absolutely commissioned though, I'm too laid back and too "get the gently caress away from me with that bullshit" to go back enlisted. I'd only do it if I could come in as SGM. Or a warrant. But that's not likely because I'm loving disabled now.

That last couple of stop at Benning hosed with my head a little bit. It was like all the army gayness had been stripped away, and when they saw I had gotten hosed up everything was just peaches and cream, how can we help you. Want copies? Want email copies? No problems.

And then they gave me a flag but it's probably skilcraft so who the gently caress knows if it's actually a flag instead of the 2 goddamn missing left pockets from ACU pants that I bought finally given to me. Hahahahahaha being a civilian again rules hard with piles of disney funbucks suck a big ol' dick anyone that's still in ahhhhhhhhhhh 4 days off from school, thanks Hurricane William or whatever the gently caress your name is life rules.
