When I was in Afghanistan we had a cash for work program and child labor laws didn't mean poo poo so we had kids filling sandbags for us. And I'm talking like, 7 year olds.

Anyway we were out in the middle of nowhere and our only place to poo poo was in these big holes dug right in the center of our outpost.

Long story short I took a poo poo in front of like 60 kids.

What?

Met goons through TFR for gun stuff. Ended up being more about food though cause we all have a food problem with our gun budgets. Good gyros though.

No one ever knows why they're in Qatar.

A friend of mine ended up in Qatar when he got sent back to the States from Afghanistan on emergency leave; he thought he was going to Kuwait and didn't find out where he actually was until, after a series of mishaps, he found himself in some Qatarian official's office trying to explain to a dude who barely spoke English how he had gotten into the country without a passport.

Dumb as gently caress, if real.

Also if real, why bother blocking out the commander's name? Any rear end in a top hat can google it and if the office symbol is accurate even easier.

E: also gently caress me the signature block spacing looks to be five instead of four, fuuuuck I might be infected with AR 25-50 autism.

The trenches of IT can scar a muppet for life
it's also fake.

quote:

There has been a fake memorandum circulating regarding the wear of combat patches. Here is an official statement from Col Ellis, the 2d Cavalry Regiment Commander:
"I did not authorize a memorandum stating my Soldiers cannot wear their SSI (shoulder sleeve insignia). Soldiers are allowed to wear their combat patch in accordance with AR 670-1. A combat patch is a symbol of a Soldier's sacrifice, and I understand there are Soldiers who have not yet had the opportunity to serve on a combat tour, but I ensure you discrimination against those junior Soldiers will not be tolerated."

Remember when you were in the army and you lived in the barracks and it would be 94 degrees outside but they still hadn't turned the AC on? So you were loving miserable? And you would watch the thermostat in your room show you the temperature and it would steadily climb...

81 degrees...

82 degrees...

83 degrees...

84 degrees...

85 degrees...

And you remember how at this point you would rip the thermostat off the wall and end up getting a $70 statement of charges to replace it?

What I'm saying is my AC went out in my house yesterday and I don't miss the army at all.

gently caress you if you're still in smdftb

Yeah, but they're gonna have to start somewhere. Maybe with combat patches, but it probably won't happen.

They could dump the deployment patch if they dumped the unit patch and those stupid patches of velcro on the sleeves and I don't think anyone except serious motoboners would care.

I've seen maybe 10 people wear it ever after a decade of time in (gently caress me). Eight of those were in a unit where wearing it was made mandatory.

It is, indeed, 90 each event.

We award them via the ceremony of an NCO handing off the certificate and badge to privates, then the privates never sewing it on. But they get like 5 promotion points I guess, for taking a PT test, so woooo?
