Wasabi the J posted:Worst part about deployment is even as a POG you still get crazy amounts of isolation, boredom, family problems, and general fuckery. That didn't sound bad but you don't see problems coming until one of your co-workers just decides to blow their loving head off or decides to test the tensile strength of 550 cord with their neck. That compounded with some units desire to be all garrison in a combat zone (like mine) and routinely getting mortared with no way to retaliate except to furiously beat off in the portajohns and smile whenever the Ugandans light someone up. Then you hear the AF cats bitch about days off when they walk around in goddamn PT gear and no weapon and have 6 month deployments while you were there for 15 and oh also you can go to the PX without your weapons? The gently caress bullshit is that. Yeah our place had a pool. It was big. So what. Ever been stationed somewhere where people are swinging their dicks around because they finally get to act that that war movie they have in their head and gently caress anyone that doesn't do what they say if they out rank you? Now pack it like a goddamn tourist resort. SMDFTB

LtCol J. Krusinski posted:My branch director at USTRANSCOM was a slick sleeve army intel O-5. There was a policy of not deploying people from TRANSCOM to OIF or OEF, but he got a special deployment to the embassy at Kabul so he could make O-6. So was he a Russian stooge too? Edit: Sorry, Turkish stooge

Navy Officer veteran here. Kinda toying around with the idea of going into the National Guard. Anyone familiar with the process? What do National Guard intel officers do?

Had my first good NG drill weekend. I volunteered for two SUTA days earlier this month to be in a parade and go to a baseball game. So that was my drill instead of doing a gear showdown yesterday that I would have been loading into my car in the middle of a huge loving thunderstorm, and a mandatory family party today. I'm sure it'll be made up for next month.

My infantry company is transitioning into a armor company. Tanker goes awol and his TL reports him as being in quarters cause he lied about having a wisdom teeth removal. Tells company 1900 formation for 100% accountability. So I released my (infantry) dudes at 1300, told the new tanker PSG (we only gave one tank plt and mine isn't it) "See you at 1900." Now first SGT is mad at me too. Well what's he going to do? Make me go back to work?

Also retention started bugging me at 18 months so I asked if they had weed waivers. They do not, and also I'm now randomly selected for urinalysis, so that gets me out of like half a day.

Nostalgia4Murder posted:Just remind the 1sg that you out rank him and why isn't he standing at attention I saw a LT do this once. No poo poo, locked the 1SG up. The LT was my PL, and before he went to OCS, he had spent 15 years in SF, most of it in South America. He was doing his time in the line to get CPT and go back to the Teams.

There's a bus that runs nonstop between Caserma Del Din and Caserma Ederle. Instead of getting on the early morning bus to Ederle to take part in a football match, a bunch of soldiers accidentally got onto the chute shakeout bus waiting on the same bus stop. It drove them to Aviano Air Base. To shake chutes. They sent a lot of angry and frustrated text messages. Non-paratroopers: chute shakeout is a lovely and arduous physical activity where you take chutes from a truck, carry them into hoists, untangle them, and put em into a bag for the riggers. It blows, and they had like 600 chutes.

Almost happened to me couple weeks ago. Just before I put headset on for music, I heard the driver talk about Aviano and I bolted. It looks the same, stops at the same stop, and if timed right, you'll just drone into it without thinking. It's a bus full of soldiers, just like the other one.
