Nah, I get what you were trying to say. I'm just, y'know, drained.

Besides, I'm pretty sure that if any of the DA civilians I had to deal with were bitter and jaded vets, poo poo would have gotten done right the first time.

Why not make it a requirement for positions? Yes it's a stupid idea on paper but it would also solve and create a lot of issues.

gently caress man, working that out sucks.

Do something that feels good man. Like when's the last time you took a piss off the side of a bridge or high in a tree.

I wish I could climb trees still.

A mountain climber taught me how to do that faux running-up-a-tree thing where most people would plant one foot to try to jump up the tree, but he could run, stride and plant his foot on the trunk of a tree and loving launch himself upwards.

It was a cool bonfire party trick and a winner of bets. Trick was finding a knot that could support your weight, and put as much weight Forward over your toe as possible.

Another time, back when I was a kid, there was this huge loving flood in San Diego and it knocked over this giant loving tree in my backyard. I climbed to the top once and my brother decided to time me jumping down a good 15 feet with swinging a big section of bamboo that we had growing. I landed, thwack! Right in the goddamn kidneys.

The day after the flood I explored the area and found a crawdad. I brought it back to my house and got yelled at to put it back, so I did. Next morning the motherfucker wakes up my dog and my mom drags my rear end out of bed screaming "I said put it back!" And the crawdad has his goddamn dukes up like Stinkmeaner or whatever. Zoidberg.

The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
I cleared my last active CIF with the regular guy on leave and a completely clueless guy filling in. It was glorious.

Me: yeah, that's wrong. I was never issued a Kevlar.

Him: oh okay then, I'll just cross it off the sheet then.

I assume it was some last minute retention scam to trick me into thinking the Army was cool and reasonable.

No way dude, she looks like Gargamel.
First time I cleared CIF was in Alaska after our deployment and at least half of the post was getting out or PSCing at the same time so it was super easy.

Last time was on Camp Shelby after my IRR trip and CIF was an older dude and his teenage son in an open bay. The older guy was drinking coffee (or maybe booze in a coffee mug) and listening to the radio while his son read stuff off of a list. He'd call out something, such as poncho liner, and I'd hold it up then put it back into my personal duffle bag while he was busy marking it on the list. I would've taken more gear, but tbqh the poncho liner was the only thing worth a poo poo and I was just happy to be going home.

There's an underground base run by the government and the greys beneath YTC didn't you know? And the NSA Five Eyes facility on base is their op center.

Also please don't tell me loving opsec because the drat thing can be seen from the highway and it's on Wikipedia for fucks sake.

Fun Army story for today!


An E6 in my company is working on his truck. Doesn't get it running in time so he calls his E4 who gives him a ride home. They stop by the VFW and have a couple of beers before going back to the E6's house for dinner. Go back for dinner and then head back out to the VFW in the E6's BRAND NEW CAMARO ZR1!!! (How does he afford this with an unemployed wife and two kids? I have no loving clue! Well, actually she is employed. She does MLM. But we were having a conversation about how hard it was adjusting to a lower household income after his wife got out of the military and they no longer get dual BAH/two paychecks) Neither dudes remember too much after that.

But the E4 was driving that E6's Camaro, both were black out drunk, and the cops clocked them going 160MPH. 105 mph when they caught up to them, and then they plowed into some random girl's car. Totalled her car, totalled the Camaro completely. E4 made the SIR and E6's name was taken off by BDE so it doesn't look worst for the BN. But now the BDE Commander is taking care of him personally.

We're all taking bets at the company on what happens to him. My friend has his bet on demotion, discharge, and going homeless due to a 70k loan on a car he no longer has. I have my money on a slap on the wrist and being PSG at another unit here.

Man gently caress that, the E6 should be on the SIR he instigated the whole thing and it's 100% his fault even if the SPC is obviously a dumbass.
