Posted this in a thread about idiots believing bullshit they shouldn't have believed. Figure you'd guys would want to hear it:

Reminds me of a murder case once.

Soldier goes on a deployment overseas to an out in the middle of nowhere place for a little over a year. Comes home to wife and kids, everything is fine for a little while.

Then, sporadically, over several months weird packages of cut up clothes and items start arriving at the house. Soldier tells his wife: "Ha ha, just a prank. Don't worry about it."

We find the guy dead in his back yard.

If you can't guess he found a lover while overseas and then ran off back to his family. Lover believed all the bullshit lies he told and went nuts when it all collapsed.

Local PD found the lover about a mile off base. Pulled over and ate a bullet.

*extra info for GiP*

It was actually a Marine. It was on some little island outpost. The lover was another Marine. The lover showed up at the house and the wife and kids ran upstairs to hide. The husband ran out the back door to get away. He went left when he should have ran to the right.

Don't PAS-13s take a bunch of AA batteries to work, and kill them in like half an hour?

Edit PAS-23s are pretty bitchin' though.

We would get a counseling statement on deployment if we got caught on guard with the pas-13s powered on but we weren’t actively using them.

My whole company had like two PAS-13s, or equivalanets or whatever, in Finnish Army, and they were the hottest poo poo. Couple leaders and marksmen got something that was maybe a PVS-5, and two PLs got like maybe the equivalent of PVS7. They looked the same, but I'm not sure if they are the same deal. And that's it, rest of the guys ate carrots. That is the biggest equipment disparity that still blows my mind in the US Army.

I'm rocking -20s and I am a punk medic.

Plenty of people seem to free ball in the Army, which I actually find weird. Using boxer briefs under ACUs is comfortable and hygienic. I don't see why freeballing is a good idea.

Basically all of it because it's hard to keep track of who is who. Everything you wrote is fairly indefinite.

My bad. It was a jilted lover who came back to the states and murdered the object of his obsession. Then committed suicide.

But also she was a veteran and probably was crazy regardless of her time with him? And didn't you say he died too?

Ok. Forget everything I wrote before. I'm going to try again. This was a murder case that woke me up to just how crazy people could be.


A Marine gets sent to a posting far away from home, leaving behind his wife and kids. He comes back from the deployment and starts receiving packages containing cut up clothing. He plays it off to his wife by telling her that it's just some other Marines playing a prank on him.

One morning, after having breakfast with his wife and kids, the Marine walks out the front door. The family hears a gunshot and he comes running back into the home. He tells his wife to take the kids upstairs and hide. After this, he runs out the back door of the house. He turns and runs left. Directly into the guy with the gun who then shoots him dead.

The man, who shot the Marine dead, is found off post after committing suicide.

The murderer was also a Marine, and a dude. He was so obsessed and pissed off that his lover had left him to go back to his wife and kids that he hunted him down and murdered him.

Okay, that makes a lot more sense. But what's the significance of the cut up clothes?

The crazy jilted lover was cutting up his clothes (that I'm assuming he left at his place) and sending them to the guy's house.

I'm also assuming it's a crazy lover thing?

A solid 98% of responses I received were related to the CGs policy banning sports PT. Nice of the csm to take the heat for ya.

In most sports PT here, most of dudes, including me, put more effort and energy into it than most other morning PT.

Sports PT can be fun but some dumbass tryhards always getting people injured for no good reason.

The guys bitched about the CSM because he had called all the NCOs mediocre and then that trickled down I guess.

I hated mandatory ultimate football at MCCC because people took it so god drat serious it wasn't fun

If my troop does sports PT we just do it offpost. We did a turkey bowl doing that because the guys said they never did one in the unit before so there we go
