I'm not familiar with the exacts of MPs or even the military but what the gently caress. Did someone call up and say "This building that should have been locked for the night isn't, can you guys check whether someone broke in or some idiot just forgot to lock it up" and SOP calls for doing it with weapons drawn?

I was killed due to FF in almost all on my exercises. Had a LT go a whole 5k off target on a live fire at NTC. Impact within 50m or friendlies waiting for fires mission. My buddy got that bullshit those guys were talkin though. He was 1st Cav I think, and apparently they had orders to shoot in the air to “claim the area” only to accidentally have a unit of the same hierarchy show up and fire back. The way he tells stories is amazing. He’s a second language English speaker and it’s amazing because he chooses words so arbitrary that it makes you laugh. “Yeah, I took that woman home. I didn’t care that she was old. She pissed the bed. It was different.” *as a hose is disconnected and water sprays everywhere” Somethings Happening!”

The JSGs (Japanese Security Guards, guys who do basically the gates on Okinawa) have a little golf cart they roll around in at night and check doors. They basically turn the handle and if it opens they call us. Desk Sergeant dispatches us and SOP was weapons drawn to clear buildings for what I'm sure is a totally logical and sane reason and not some Major thinking he ran a SWAT team. Yes, it was stupid.

Here in Iwakuni the marines do what is apparently called a blackout drill that apparently involves our hangers. In summary if you step outside you will have a gun in your face and be detained. I work days so that's all I know about it but it's the reason night check closed up shop at 21 one night. It would be more entertaining if they didn't announce it...

David Hackworth had a store in his bio about losing a full-auto m2 carbine. Him and his armory sgt bought a civilian model, welded a fake selector switch to it, engraved a new serial, and then had it officially turned in and destroyed at a later date. ... He also ran an official unit whorehouse where you could pay in company scrip in 'Nam, which is some next level "no fucks given". quote:However, investigators concluded that the colonel enlisted his men in a black-market currency scheme that netted him tens of thousands of dollars. He would admit only that the men smuggled $100,000 of his poker winnings out of the country. Hackworth, to put it mildly, is a polarizing figure.

I shared this story in a bit more detail on the discord, but long story short, I knew a pretty big idiot while I was at Vicenza. He got a tattoo to memorialize his sister. She killed herself and he wanted to pay tribute to her. I've got no problem with that, because I get where he's coming from and some tattoos are personal things. The problem though, is the placement of the memorial tattoo. He got it while being chaptered or just after getting chaptered, while the rest of us were deployed in OEF 13. It really brightened our lives when we saw it.

One of my former PSGs reenlisted in front of a burning car. In Mosul. The occupants of the car, a couple insurgents, were dead and burning in it. (It was right after a successful ambush.) Gotta wonder how that would play out today on social media.

Yeah apparently the insurgents tried to do a drive by and then got lit the hell up with a 240. PSG decided to do his reenlistment oath then with the PL on the spot. (This was like 3 months before I transferred to that platoon.) He later bitched that had he waited a month for the fiscal year to be over, he would have gotten a big bonus instead of nothing.

Discord is voice and text chatrooms that are generally for gaming and have also become the go-to communication platform for lots of different communities. It's good because it works on literally any platform, and you can log in to it on your work computer as well without having to install anything. I don't have the details of the GiP Discord though, if that was your next question. also lol @ "digital IRC", I guess it's as opposed to all those analogue versions of Internet Relay Chat?

So out of curiosity, what would get a 23 year old out of Navy boot camp after two weeks? This kids claim is that they asked him to "come back in eight months". In school he was a thief, liar and serial plagiarist. He's totaled four cars since graduation, had several dead end jobs that never lasted more than a couple of months and flunked out of med tech and flight attendant schools. My money is on either not being able to follow orders or just couldn't. It's definitely not medical or fitness.
