Nothing crazy, just lots of small stupid poo poo after BDE and division loving up the bus manifest, topped off by a PVT that thought putting his taco bell cup of mountain dew under his seat wouldn't spill on a 1000 mile bus ride so that my assault pack under my seat got soaked. I just wanted to grab him by the collar and shake him while yelling "what the gently caress did you think was going to happen???"

and then getting back and finding out there's a good chance I'm going to become either the S4 or the S1 because making the jaded, bitter guy that wants out of the Army a staff primary is a great idea

Picked up the deployment pistol I ordered in July. 3 mags and a bunch of unit engravings on a p320 for 545. It’s the first handgun I’ve bought personally, so I’m excited to try it out a little.

So I’m kinda back to Army now. Doing easy days at Caserma Ederle clinic working for an awesome and supporting LTC doc and I’m afforded time for exercise bikes during work time, physical therapy, and other things I need for good recovery. I also get to wake up a bit later and I don’t do anything straining.

Besides specifically listed physical therapy activities, and the specific exercise bike, I’m prohibited from all physical activity until...

August. loving lol.

Maybe this is a conspiracy from recruiting and retention. Give the foreign dude a great experience, and he will tell all his friends. They'll join and then get boned with classic Army bullshit.

I got yelled at for a potential SHARP complaint because I was shirtless in the MP. After getting stripped down during a TCCC training exercise to assess and treat my wounds.

I had just wiped off all the fake blood, ran to my desk to grab a clean hoodie when the NCOIC MSGT saw me and yelled at me about females being around, etc etc etc. As I'm still covered in dried up fake blood. What is up with old school infantry cats and being afraid of being around females? I bet he's the guy who gets mad when people take off their shirts when we go across the street and conduct beach PT.

Even when I think I got away from all the retardness that is the army, there's still someone who proves me wrong.

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
While I was at Fort Hunter Ligett the 1SG of the company I was an OC for took a poo poo in a 5 gallon bucket right outside his humvee. His driver was a female medic.

They were in a TAA and his vehicle was in the middle of it. At least half of his company watched him take a poo poo.

Something like 3 months earlier the guy just finished a tour in Afghanistan. Showed up at his new unit and they were like "You're going to Hunter Ligett for a month and a half and then NTC 2 weeks later! have fun!"

poo poo, I forgot Laguna Seca was outside of Monterey.

King City is a half hour away and has some pretty good Mexican food. And the coast and stars are amazing if you never get to see them where you live. Otherwise you're at least an hour away from any real cities.

Edit: Some pictures(that looked less poorly processed on my other computer, swear), once you're 5 minutes outside of hunter liggett it's pretty as hell

One of the few shining lights in my unit is a married woman in our unit with teenagers, who gives zero fucks about the stupid Army bullshit, and still does her job well.

She just slept in the same tent and changed like the rest of us. It was the closest thing to experiencing the Starship Troopers future, minus the fascism and boners.

Fort Hunter Liggett is actually a pretty sweet post for doing field training with it's huge mountainous/hilly training areas. It's also pretty scenic.

It's too bad Fort Ord outside Monterey was shut down.

I would live in Paso Robles if I was stationed there, even if it is like a 45 minute drive. I bet they work like 4 hour days when there isn't a major training event going on.

Camp Roberts is a poo poo hole, though I never saw the training areas there, just the miles of antiquated WW2 barracks and troop store. And the strangely numerous chapels.

Camp Roberts was the funniest bad post I've visited. We pre mobbed out of there in 2011, and I still remember showering in a tin lined shower, making GBS threads behind a curtain, and the shower curtain dividers between the beds.

But up the road, the town was loving gorgeous.
