Soldier who missed ETS date finally cleared out 5 days passed ETS. Attempted to stay in barracks, got booted from his room, and threatened to go to media for us making him be homeless.

Can't bar a guy from reenlistment when he's already out of the Army and a civilian.

Dude's plan was to seriously stay in the barracks for a week or so after he got his DD2214... I hate all Soldiers. gently caress me for still being in.

I guess there was some backlash to a picture of some national guard dudes sleeping in a hallway on the floor because they gave the cots to some civilians. Facebook warriors complained that "are troops" weren't being treated like gods

What happened to his flight home? Shouldn't you have at least got him a plane ticket to his home of record?

Kaliber
Jun 17, 2005

He had a bus ride back to Chicago 4 hours away in Atlanta. Didn't book a flight home because it was too expensive. I know one of the dudes in the platoon dropped him off at a hotel. But no one in the platoon wanted to give him a ride because he was only offering $50 for gas and with all the gas stations out of gas, charging $2.50+ for a gallon, no one wanted to waste their time. No clue what he's doing right now.

we had eyes on the entire geronimo SF company (as in all of them, in one place, with even more guerillas) at JRTC for about 45 minutes and our fire mission took an hour and a half to go through because the battery got hit by chemical weapons or they were all eating lunch welp thats my JRTC is dumb story

I didn't write his. His old platoon leadership did it. The e7 who loved him to death gave him an AAM or something. Hell, I don't even think it was me that handed him his award. But I know he got one because he never asked for a memo of lateness when he was clearing. Apparently you can't even PCS/ETS without an award or a memo stating why you didn't get one.

We have TMPs for things like this. Even if this kid was a mouth breather, he was your mouth breather. What the hell are you doing?

I'm mostly annoyed that they didn't do the 90 minutes of work it takes to bar or chapter 13/14 someone out so they can't ever come back, even if you don't feel like slamming someone with a general discharge.

(to be fair, I too, once believed through idiotic word of mouth that it was hard to kick idiots out promptly. It is, in fact, pretty easy once you learn about two-three things about paperwork.)

Your unit might have TMPs. I had to sign out a TMP from the civilians at the TMP yard for funeral detail because we didn't have any in BDE.



mlmp08 the reason why no one did the work, is because we're slammed with a hundred other things right now. Change of command layouts, 80% of the BDE is PCS'ing starting next week, an average of 2-3 NCOs per platoon, red cycle tasking, funeral detail,trying to figure out who has to get their PCS pushed back to support this OC/T poo poo at NTC, EIB, the hundreds of awards that is being written, all while every single one of the leaders is leaving within the next few weeks as well. I spent so much time dealing with everyone else's poo poo, I still haven't started on mine and I still need to figure out how to fix my orders for when I leave in 3 weeks.

If the kid ever decides to drop all that weight, get in shape and come back in, all the more power to him. It'll probably be better than being homeless.
