Bellevilles were literally the only approved boots for us. I usually stuck a gel insole and it was fine after that.

insularis posted:HA! I did the same thing when ETS'ing from the 82nd. I have really, really always wanted to go to Antarctica, though, and when I told the 1SG that would make me reenlist, he actually tried really hard to make it happen. The conversation ended up with, "Well, Sgt. Insularis, unless you have a biology degree I don't know about, I'm not going to be able to make this work." I also thought the ribbon was sweet. i was supposed to see retention every drill weekend for the last like 6 months before my ets I told our retention NCO that 20k got me in so they'd have to do 80k to keep me he told me to get the gently caress out of his office and didn't bother me for the other 5

Yeah, I got sesamoiditis (which i didn't even know was a thing, the inflammation of the sesamoid bones, which I also didn't know was a thing) until I got some gel inserts and they were fine after that.

Superfeet insoles are the poo poo, most aren't super xl turbo gel cushioned but they're incredibly supportive. Those plus the newer leather Nikes got me through an unholy number of miles because Light Infantry™.

FIDEL CASHFLOW posted:i was supposed to see retention every drill weekend for the last like 6 months before my ets Heh, yeah, that SF Det in College Park that was mentioned a few pages back? Civil Affairs, and no poo poo, I was there (it was AR, not NG). When clearing, got the big ole guilt trip about going to the homecoming party for the rotation guys coming back ... this was just before 9/11, and bonuses weren't nearly what they were for a while there in the early 00's. They resorted to emotional tactics. My total GI Bill was 15K, if that dates me.

The best boots I ever owned while in the Army were Timberland Force Multipliers. Unauthorized as gently caress, but whenever anyone asked or said anything I said they were clear under 670-1, and they are welcome to double check. No one ever gave a gently caress enough to do poo poo.

USAF never ceases to amaze me when it comes to testing. First the proctor for our on-base exams called because she didn't have any passwords to log the candidates in. Turns out she was looking at the registration list that the main contact had, not the one she was given that had the confidential logins on it. She didn't even bother to check her email this morning. Then she called less than an hour later, saying one of the candidates was locked out of the testing system because his email didn't work. I told her to actually read the list she had and see where it had usernames next to the passwords. "But everyone else logged in with their emails just fine!" "No they didn't."

If anyone is considering going back in just stand out side in the freezing cold for 30 minutes at 4 in the morning wearing wildly lacking clothing and then run across some uneven ground in the dark singing stupid songs and if you hurt yourself then pay some homeless person to yell at you about how you are a piece of poo poo and then go to the doctor but leave the appointment half way through because that's the quality of medical care to expect and just drink a lot of water and eat motrin until your stomach lining bleeds and then if you ever make a mistake or someone near you makes a mistake at you current job just stand outside for 6 hours after work ends every day and then set 2 weeks pay on fire and if you still want to join then you deserve everything you get and gently caress you

If anyone is thinking of going guard, stop smoking weed, spend a weekend a month sitting in your driveway, garage, or yard, hiding from your spouse, who you've paid to find you and make you do their job, or to come up with dumb chores you already completed. After your spouse feeds you a peanut butter sandwich (no jelly), have your youngest relative that is barely capable of reading instruct you on how to do their homework. Continue to do this from 5 am too 7pm with your spouse promising the sooner you finish your chores the sooner you can stop. Do not allow them to feed you dinner or breakfast.

After discovering that the control rod was stuck, the guy did his best King Arthur impression, pulled the sword from the stone, and was instantly crowned by the ceiling.

They initially didn't find him (there was one guy dead and one guy almost dead on the floor when they walked in) and took several minutes before looking up at the ceiling and realizing what happened.

Yeah, blaming fatal events from design flaws and incompetent supervision on break ups has been the way to go for a while. The Navy mixed things up by blaming the USS Iowa turret explosion in a gay break up, but that's not as attention grabbing nowadays.
