Yeah you can tell a division CSM to gently caress off and you can basically become branch immaterial if you want. But then again, none of those things would matter if you weren't in the Army in the first place.

The only dude I ever saw who legit loved being in the army was a machinist that worked at the army marksmanship unit at Benning. He just got to play with all the toys to make stuff for Olympians and loved it, probably because there was no army bullshit attached. There poor poo poo was stuck at E4 and was gonna get booted because points for e5 were maxed forever and he was legit sad about it. But an old buddy of mine told me that when they booted his rear end out they just hired him back as a civilian for double the money and he's happy as gently caress now. Basically won the army game.

Power went out at NFH so their response was to bring those sealed lunch squares up from SRP for lunch and dinner. And you had to walk to the chow hall to get them. An MRE would have been preferable, and I seriously mean that. I ordered pizza.

Got an appointment tomorrow for my Lower back, shoulder, and knees for aches and pains I didn't have this time last year. Hoping for something service connected so I can get on voc rehab because man I do not like having back issues at 23 E: it makes me really happy to see mustang already become jaded and depressed before I'm even home. It's like he's a living apparition of the Terminal Lance comic. Get hosed sir o7 The army sucks

Keep complaining. I have been fighting with the Army AND VA for my testicle pain but they are like "but you still have it!" I told them to cut it off because it hurts all the goddamn time and no one knows why. They were like "well let's try to get it rated again." I've been complaining for 5 years including getting different treatments like shoving a needle in my back and electrocuting various nerves trying to see which one is my affected ball and then inject it with steroids which was supposed to help the pain but didn't really. That's top 3 worst pain ever experienced in my life. I've broken my arm completely through the forearm (5 compound fractures simultaneously) and it doesn't make that list for reference. And before you discount shock, they strapped my arm to me and put me in an ambulance. Speed bumps are a mother fucker

You're talking about the area under the pavilion next to the PX with all of the food trucks? Yeah that was some of the best food I've had on an Army base. Camp Shelby is pretty bad otherwise. I was there when the government shutdown happened and they laid off all of the gate guards and never hired them back. You could quite literally drive onto post and nobody would stop you.

Shelby also has a gut truck that drives around the non-restricted roads near the training areas and other facilities. It was a life-saver while we were all sitting around waiting to be shuffled through the SRB building and we hadn't had lunch yet because lol what's planning? But yeah, Camp Shelby blows. I was in the MS Guard and it's where we went for AT and sometimes 3-day drills. I used to say that if they gave America an enema, Camp Shelby was where they'd stick the tube.

Anyone who complains about being stationed in Europe should be sent to either Irwin, Polk, or Wainright as penance for their sins.

I ran into an officer who was prior enlisted before having a break in service and going to school. When someone asked why he left the first time he just said "I was an 11B with a four year contract and did two years at Polk and finished my enlistment at Irwin." Rekt.

Abuse of power, negligence, and bullshit needs to be made public. The laundry needs to be aired because poo poo won't change without public backing. Also finances too because it is literally laughable how our solution to every problem is "throw money at it."
