We waiver away cleanliness in high volume garrison areas while being dicks about wartime operational dining areas. I can see telling the guy who got back from patrol after taking cover in a ditch full of raw sewage, but I was pretty annoyed when I got kicked out because I had sweat through my top too much.

Naked Bear posted:Now that I'm remembering things, one of those memos was no combat shirts or dirty uniforms in the DFAC, because that's exactly what you do when you want to piss off an entire troop of cav and infantry guys who actually work for a living, unlike your own fat, miserable rear end. Don't care if you made it back just in time to catch the rear end end of chow, you ain't coming in. Obvious solution: have dudes pick up an entire platoon or troop's worth of to-go plates before we get back. You can imagine how long that lasted before they put a limit on the number of to-go plates that could be picked up at once, and only with a signed memo from the CO stating the number of plates and the reason why those soldiers could not just eat in the DFAC. same except when they pulled this poo poo on us on whatever FOB we stopped at we just marched right past whoever the gently caress was at the door, got as many to go plates as we could, and stuffed our pockets with literally as much as we could carry. if they wouldn't let us in, we would go around back to the service entrance and walk in through the kitchen. we wouldn't sign for a drat thing, and if anyone ever gave us poo poo we just ignored them and walked out, got in the helicopter, and flew the gently caress away. 9 out of 10 times it worked simply because we were in and out in under 3 minutes and they didn't have time to react. for the rest, well you can imagine angry-faced E-7s getting told to shut the gently caress up and move out of the way by an angrier CW4. people forget priorities when they don't have a real job.

also this isn't meant to come off as a "fuckin pogs  " -type post; i'm not implying that everyone who didn't leave the wire was useless or didn't contribute because that's clearly not true. i'm talking about those select few NCOs who, by choice or not, ended up on DFAC duty and then decided of their own volition to suck the army's dick as hard as they could and act like complete tone-deaf retards, ignoring all context or pretense of the situation in front of them.it's hard to make a group of overworked, hungry people care about stupid poo poo like clean uniforms in a DFAC when you're in the middle of a 9-hour long flight and only have 5 minutes to eat (that you don't even shut down for). and especially when those same people go back to their own base that is black on food because the highway has been closed and resupply convoys can't make it through. but anyone with a loving pulse should be able to recognize that. brains fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Jul 16, 2017 |

My CSM's policy was you can eat in your combat shirt/pants 2 hour prior/2 hour after guard duty/patrol. The only annoying thing was when we went on R&R we had no ammo, but was expected to walk around with a weapon. I got chewed out by the HHC commander so many times for walking around with no weapon. I usually just borrowed my POG buddy's m9 and tell my 1SG I had that in a holster whenever he came back to give me a stern talking to (He didn't really care either. He thought it was dumb too)

I came really close to reenlisting but didn't and North Fort Hood has assured me that I just made the smartest decision of my life. We've only been actively at war for 15 years now you think we would be able to make the demob process not the dumbest poo poo ever.

Saw three drunk on duties happen the first day.
