There's one road(with a bridge) that connects McChord with Lewis, but it takes four times longer to drive that road than to just hop onto the freeway for 3-5 exits and reenter the gate.

The last vacation I went on was international, to get on a boat for a week and go scuba diving. I can only imagine the kind of paperwork hell that would require, only to get shot down and have a vacation fully ruined because of some dumbass chucklefuck that can't stand the thought of soldiers actually enjoying themselves in fun places while on leave.

poo poo reminds me of just how stupid I was (I don't really need much to remind me of that factoid) when I was in but hadn't yet completely broken. I was e5 for a couple of years in the terrible 83d chemical bn, which the poster oxygenpoisoning who was in the same command can confirm was like max retard. You know how I just wrote it 83d like a weirdo instead of 83rd like a normal drat person? Because dudes got all ate up on the fact that our unit was originally a Chemical Mortar BN in WWII, which really just translated to loving mortar bn in practice based on the poo poo I'd see in the dumb crap they had posted in the BN HQ, and in their old patches and correspondence they labeled it 83d because I guess they just did it that way in the 30s-40s??? Anyhow this unit was like ultramax super terrible and after three years with the unit I was due up for PCS soon. Thing was they were moving my company from Polk to Stewart instead of having us spread out over the two, and just giving everyone blanket orders to PCS there which would basically reset the clock and I'd be stuck with that awful unit for another 3+ years. So I had to get out, so I had to try to get a special school or something that people really wouldn't fight me on because its "professional development" like Drill Sgt or Recruiter. So gently caress that I'm begging poster Greenmeat for assignments to try for and my branch manager and all this dumb poo poo and I finally get SOMETHING that isnt with 83rd loving CM and its recruiting school. First week in recruiting school we took our pt test, so everyone got drunk that night because who cares now and it was the first friday. I get loving DRUNK as gently caress and embarrass myself ofc and the night ends, I go back to the barracks we were in. Except I forgot that they moved my barracks room earlier that day and spent like 10 minutes trying to break into what may have been someone elses room before I remember all that poo poo. I take like three steps off the sidewalk towards the correct barracks and loving get my foot stuck in a root and it really loving hurt. I limp back to my room and pass out. I wake up the next day and my wife had called me like ten times because somehow some other chick soldier that was out with us had texted her or the other way around because apparently I was missing or something? I really don't remember I was still loving wasted to be honest. It wasn't anything like we were hooking up because she was a oval office so IDK. Weird poo poo. Anyhow my foot is like the size of a loving softball and I dont want to go to the doctor because as everyone knows, the quickest way to get sent home from a school is some kind of injury. So gently caress that, I'm not going to go back to my unit and say i got kicked out of school for breaking my foot drunk, and I figured it was just a strain anyhow. So I passed out again in the morning and wake up again in the afternoon and I think I'm still loving drunk (my timeline may be a little off) and decide to go to the px to get like every pain pill and wraps for my foot and icepacks and all that. As I'm backing out I HIT THE CAR NEXT TO ME. It's lovely and it didnt do poo poo to his car but put some paint on mine. Some guys took a picture of my car and all that. Knowing I'd get busted for a dui or something I go into my room and try to sober up a few hours and call the cops on myself. They find the dude and he wallks out is like "I dont give a poo poo its all good" and the cops told me I probably hosed myself, and their supervisor came out and gave me a ticket for improper backing. They told me that they told me so. Anyhow a few months later I graduate from recruiting school and pcs to here (and that is a whole different story of army bullshit) and not wanting to show up as a problem child I still havent wanted to get my foot checked out because I didn't want to gently caress my PCS or whatever. So i Pass a pt test after a month or so in the unit and all that and go to the doctor like not long after. I end up in a boot for like 4 months or so in a hail mary to avoid surgery which was looking pretty lightly because I just had a chunk of bone the size of a pencil eraser floating around in there. Then I got fat and lost my mind and here I am. edit: oh yeah I mean I'm stupid for not just getting my foot checked out for a litany of dumb reasons IE this story mods changed my name fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Mar 21, 2018 |

So somebody riddle me If ADPAAS is meant for a way for you to update your status If something goes wonky why doesnt ADPAAS work on anything But government computer? Because we just got a Brigade-wide ”update ADPAAS” and theres one computer per platoon that might not work. While everyone and their mom in barracks has a laptop and 100mbs internet

if I hadn't been raised in a cult I might've had the context to figure out that people were hitting on me in the army, welp better being a dumbass than a dude that was a PUA sucks that one of them was the reason why a company memo went out banning under-armor shirts as acceptable uniform under-blouse bonus points: the first person that that I noticed that took a fancy to me was just the women ahead of me in the line at the charlie's that thought I was cute (she ended up assigning it to god given she dreamt that she would meet someone important) the fact that she had dragon rape-dungeon fantasies and was a rather profligate racist, matters not for whatever scorn because she got assigned to vilseck germany and ended up sexually assaulted (ended up medically discharged but noone wants to talk about the paths for poor people stuck in dead poo poo states). poo poo loving blows in the army. I'm glad I am out and people have more than a sub-highschool way of talking to each other. Grognan fucked around with this message at 08:30 on Mar 21, 2018 |

I had a follow up with my italian surgeon. I am recovering but slower than average. For my neuropathic pain and muscle spasms, he prescribed me, uhhh ...weed. I could go pick it up from a local pharmacy. I don’t think this will fly. He did mention prescribing a lot of it to italian army soldiers for various ailments. No wonder the italian paratroopers always walk around with jacket open and no cover. Vahakyla fucked around with this message at 13:46 on Mar 21, 2018 |

Just here to agree that 83rd and the Chemical Corps sucks and was also the worst work experience of my life. Three commanders relieved of duty, multiple major sharp and eo complaints. Commanders physically threatening subordinates who challenged their bullshit. gently caress that place and all those who defended it or stayed.
