That's messed up. Why didn't the PL tell the CSM no?

I'm not being ironic. "That's not gonna fly CSM. My squad leader isn't doing PT with you. My commander's name is blah blah blah. Take it up with him if you want me to do something."

It's a dick move. But hell, he was being a dick too.

That's a quick method to get noticed by the BC in a bad way. You never fight just the BC or just the CSM, you're always fighting both of them.

Yes. It is an untenable fight to say someone should be allowed to be unshaven because their shift was long. And throwing away your credibility with the BC so you can support the soldier's right to win at something ultimately unimportant is loving them in the long run when the old man doesn't want to hear it from you about something that matters.

You can't go home unless you're crazy. But no sane person would want to stay, which means because you want to go home you're not crazy. So you can't.

It may be dumb, but I definitely shaved when on long shifts well before bigwigs came in, even though I was going home to sleep in a couple hours. It's also just not a fight that's going to be worth it for some line NCO.

Maybe. My experience when I was at BN level was to support/train the LT's because that's the BC's job.

And I know that I think that was a dumb thing on that CSM's part and would seriously consider why that guy is my CSM.

Also lol, that a CSM supercedes the Soldier's entire chain of command over a shaving infraction.

the military is likely the only profession where you will get in trouble for not being smooth clean shaven on the hour 23 of a 24 hour shift.

i never shaved at or near the end of any 24 hour duty shifts.

How about one of the rabbits gillette tests its razors on? They have to be clean shaven 24/7 or the whole program gets scrapped. Checkmate.

i wouldn't say he was a bad CSM. i didn't interact with him very much aside from him doing PT with our platoon once when we went on a 4-5 mile run, since that seems to be the default PT plan whenever someone from higher than platoon level drops in, regardless of what was planned before.

but he's sure as poo poo no alonzo smith, who is the only cool as gently caress CSM i ever met.

Here is a quick idiot test. How does he say his name? Schrohder or Schrayder? If it’s the latter, he’s a goddamn moron.

I had a guy who spelled his last name like that but pronounced it with Shray-der. Tried to pass it off as being German pronunciation. I lived in Germany for 3 years and never heard that poo poo pronounced like that. This is how retarded he was:

On our last mission together for TDY, I played a small loving joke on him. I told him that 1SG told us that he had to choose between the Fast and the Furious 8 Collectors Edition or an impact AAM. Dude was seriously loving moto for FF8 and was legitimately upset that he had to choose. He then got really loving mad at me when he went to 1SG complaining that it wasn't a fair choice. 1SG got mad too. Shray-der also refused to eat at Arby's when I asked him if that's somewhere he would want to eat strictly because "it's a special place between me and my wife."

loving lmao. Ok dude. He was the best soldier, I'm not kidding, but he was loving stupid as hell.

Fixed because he just removed climate change from national security threats. Because removing it from a list makes it disappear.

Probably. Until it gets to the point of a public draft I'm free from that poo poo. My rank is "civillian" now so you brave war fighters go ahead and have fun without me. I'll be here thanking you for your service.
