my favorite army memory is getting off work 20 minutes before the dfac closes and not knowing which dfac on post was open and CQ/SD didn't know either so we would drive around looking for the open one and show up a minute after they lock the doors and miss dinner :downs:

Mine was sneaking food out to dudes getting truned away for having dirty uniforms after having a very obvious bad day.

I was only stopped for a dirty uniform once.
I ignored them, and went in and got food.
gently caress you, I got poo poo to do, you fat gently caress.

So what's the intent behind the dirty uniforms/pt uniform in the chow hall?

I imagine it was intended to keep people with unsanitary uniforms (debris/dripping sweat/caked mud) from getting that stuff near food.

I don't think having a wet pt shirt, or mudstained knees, should be enough to be refused entry.

Sergeant major don’t give a gently caress about Joe my friend. Only how Joe makes his institution look. Pragmatic policies are great until they threaten the polished exterior of the army green boot, at which polar those issues are seen as unimportant and unneeded for the machine to function. Most policies that are good for Troops are bad for the institution.


See: SGM’s grass, beards in garrison, black socks, transgender Troops, black people hair.

This is also ignoring the fact the the only person who actually cares is the CSM. See every barracks ever. Joe never complains about it being dirty.

Reasonable policies which leave things open to interpretation are worthless to a bureaucracy. "Don't go in the DFAC if you're too dirty to be around food" makes perfect sense until you apply them to a population of 500 people, and 10% of that group thinks showers and deodorant are a conspiracy designed to oppress them. Every year at every post some family moves out of base housing and leaves the walls smeared with poo poo and rooms full of trash, and they lived like that and it was normal to them. Every deployment some NCO has to escort a grown adult to the showers because they refuse to clean themselves. As a military, we earn most of the unreasonable policies we get.

When I was a PL we did a health and welfare for one of my Soldiers that was going through a divorce. He was relatively clean when he lived in the barracks but going to his house after his wife left him was mind boggling. They had a poor dog, some sort of boxer mix, that they trained to use pee pads because they couldn’t be assed to take him for a walk. He had peed progressively further from the pad because they never threw out the old one. I was about to skull drag him for the dog alone but my PSG beat me to it. He literally had him doing planks to front leaning rest right in it. The platoon all was dog lovers and was prepared to defend any complaint unanimously. I actually had to talk a squad leader down from killing him. He agreed to give the squad leader the dog for his life being spared. The dog is happy and lives in a nice house with a yard in Tennessee now.

Good. My buddy had to give his dog away after his lazy loving wife refused to potty train it and literally left it in its own poo poo and piss until he got home to clean it. She stayed at home playing loving Skyrim.

And she wanted kids.

He noped out of that relationship

In retrospect, he probably knew from the get go. We met in Iraq and he wanted me to meet her by faking a break in and scaring her to loving death.

We decided not to do that because we didn’t want to piss off the neighbors

My sister is "dog sitting" a mini Australian Shepherd right now. Good boy's owner is a sailor and spent $1500ish on this dog, but decided he didn't want to have to actually go walk him or do anything. He wanted a dog that would lie down next to him while he played video games.

Meanwhile I just had to drop my old, blind, good girl off at a boarding kennel because I am traveling for work and I almost cried in the parking lot when I heard her whimper as I walked away. She's all alone in a new place and recently lost her vision and I feel like a dick.

I have an Aussie. They need 1-2 hours of exercise each day otherwise they're loving insane. Also don't leave them alone in the house for extended periods of time when they're puppies or they'll tear poo poo up.

e: They're great dogs, though. Very affectionate, easy to train, and always have energy for whatever activity you have planned. Also they don't run away.

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
So one of the things I inherited as the S-4 is this loving insane excel document one of my predecessors created. It pulls information from like 14 different worksheets and I have no idea how he made it or how it works only that it does.

I’m terrified that one day I’m going to break it or it’s going to need updating because I have no idea how to fix it if it breaks.

Apparently the guy that made it was a mechanical engineer and those guys do a lot with excel. I thought I was good but using this thing he made was a humbling experience.
