Ambihelical Hexnut posted:https://sofrep.com/97473/dick-pic-six-the-7th-special-forces-group-sex-and-blackmail-network/ I worked for LTC Bowling in 3/7 back in 2015. He has just replaced another Commander that was outed for sharp. I’d say I’m surprised, but the dude was a little uncouth, but I never saw anything outright derogatory. I worked directly with his female S2 daily, and he never gave me the vibe that he was inappropriate with her.

I don't know what wrong with me but I think I'm going to volunteer to be an OC for our sister BDE's NTC rotation as well. Not having any computer work to do for what will end up being 2 months of time away from JBLM sounds like a vacation.

I was supposed to be partake as opfor in a rotation in Hohenfels Training Area (europe’s ”jrtc”) and I really was looking forward to it. My small group was all the coolest LTs and NCOs and literally everyone was sayug how this one is one of the modt funnest ways to play Army. Except when riding my motorcycle home from work yesterday I lost my ability to walk and ended up having surgery to remove hosed up poo poo between L5 and S1 in the city hospital in Vicenza. Pro tip: catheters hurt.

I will. I’m trying to get all the papers and such as much as I can. They are mostly in italian but they are sent to my provider too, so they’ll do it into the system. I’m keeping the original italian ones.

That loving sucks dude, as fun as I think riding a motorcycle would be I know way to many people that have either died or hosed themselves up on them. Being OPFOR would be cool but my PL time is basically done so OC/T is all I can do. It's pretty lame that other than being a PL or an ODA team leader officers don't get to do any of the fun stuff again. CO Command is close but there's so much extra bullshit involved that I personally don't think it's worth it. I'm trying to avoid going to the field as a staff officer at all costs.

I just had been sick with possible viral gastroenteritis on friday staff duty where I puked on CSMs floor, lol, who then sent me to the clinic next door. I was badly dehydrated, and got fluids. They sent me home when I felt better. On saturday morning I woke up at home like a raisin, puking and diarhea so my wife drove me to the local hospital. I was released on evening, and didn’t feel better and monday I got 24h quarters. I was pretty sick but on tuesday I did morning PT, but was soon sent on quarters after that. I had taken the motorcycle because wife had to drive her visiting grandma around and couldn’t use it, so she took the car. This episode is of course most likely diagnostically not connected to my back issue. So after getting my quarters slip, drove three miles home, but halfway felt a sharp lightning bolt go through my back and almost fell on the bike. After I calmed down I managed to nanny drive it home and quasimodo-walk into my living room where my legs gave out and I couldn’t walk. I thought the pain will go away on rest so I crawled with my wife’s help to the bed, but at around five in the morning I was in so intense pain that I was screaming and pissing my pants and crying, so we called the ambulance that took me to the hospital. I had surgery after emergency scan and MRI, and was operated by hella baller italian surgeon with full sleeve tats, face tat, mohawk, and eyebrow piercings. He told me something but I didn’t remember much. After I woke up from anesthesia I found out that I had a fairly exaggerated herniation between S1 and L5, that had caused me to lose the legs and have bladder issues. I’m in the hospital now, and I feel better. I have no complaints of the care but very few speak english so I can’t communicate that well. They took the catheter out too. It was the scariest moment of my life, and also the most painful. I was a little bitch. Thanks for the well wishes goonvets. Vahakyla fucked around with this message at 10:01 on Jan 11, 2018 |

Ow. Good they did the surgery immediately. I've had back issues, and they will generally tell you that the second you're either pissing or making GBS threads yourself without meaning to, it is time to go direct to a specialist and get immediate treatment, because if left alone it can lead to that being a permanent condition or getting foot-drop. All bad poo poo.

Definitely try for physical rehabilitation too like physical therapy. Also you’re lucky they didn’t refer you to a military doc by making you go all the way up to loving Landstuhl.

Some people were super keen to send me to Landstuhl since some believe care to be sub par in Italy but gently caress that, there’s world class surgeons here and all the dopest green beret docs who know their poo poo at the health center here just told me to do it here as quick as possible. Not that I remember a whole lot or ultimately had much choice, I was pretty far gone. Plus I don’t wanna be away from home during a moment like this. I get my friends and my family to visit all day erryday. A lot of people also confuse the lack of english fluency with someone’s skill with scalpel.

I get my friends and my family to visit all day erryday. I’ve had two surgeries in Landstuhl. The first was ok. Second was same doctor. Forgot to give me antibiotics. I have this after it healed 3 months later.  It’s beautiful. I had PRK done there too. Travel was not authorized for me so everything came out of my pocket. Ride the train if you do go. Kaiserslautern is right next door and has a massive loving base. Like they have Chili’s it’s that big. My wife is one of those people. She thinks American education and healthcare is supreme and I’m like “what?”

Also Amazon has really lovely work conditions for workers. It'd be like going back into the Army. "your break starts now but you can't take it here, you have to walk 5 minutes to the break room. 15 minute break. Go!"

Still, if they treat workers like that, they could treat management like that. There's only one person at the top and he's rich as gently caress and not going anywhere.

I have a very good friend that works as a mid level software developer for Amazon and loves his job for the most part. If you're a low level employee or temp worker stuck in a warehouse then your job is probably going to suck no matter where you work. In the better positions, Amazon is fairly comparable to most other tech companies in quality of life and benefits.

Ah I just figured life in the HQ would be pretty swanky so that no one in the position to do anything in the company would have to face the reality that their success is built on treating employees like poo poo.
