There's currently a debate going on between departments at a base that will not be named over safety in some of the range areas. Most of the O-4s through O-6s are making the case that because it's not a live drop area, landing helos, operating UASes, and driving trucks around is no big deal. The guys who would actually be driving said trucks are, for some reason, hung up on the fact that the whole area was a live drop area from roughly 1940-1980. Leadership's response: "But it's not a live drop area!"

Inhabitable sure, but a few times a year every two weeks or so an old present from the 8th Air Force or Bomber Command turns up somewhere, and there's still tracts of forest that are effectively no-go areas because of glass-bodied anti-personnel mines the Nazis buried in 1945.

And don't even start with Belgium.

There's a bunch of groups in East Europe that go around fields looking for World War 2 remnants and reselling them, calling themselves archeologists.

I used to work for a company that has a copper mine in Laos, in Savannakhet province. The single largest expenditure that the Exploration department has is UXO.

A friend of mine who still works for them once grumbled about "a buncha stupid yank flyboys who got lost on the way to Hanoi" and I had to explain to him that no, those bombs landed exactly where they were supposed to.

I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

A dude got jail-raped at a CCC center not too far away from me. I knew the rapist personally back when I joined. I legitimately thought this place couldn't phase me even more but I honestly can't wrap my mind around how someone convinces a group of people to do that to someone and have no one go "What the gently caress?".

Yeah, I promoted to Specialist (green hat). Most of the people I came in with are gone, only three made it a whole year. I haven't looked too deeply into the gangrape thing aside from hearing about it, but I knew the guy who initiated it personally (he led part of my COMET), and I think one of my friends at that same center may have been involved in it. My friend also happens to have gotten kicked out of the army for cocaine and was infantry, so if anyone was down for jail raping that poor soul, it might've been him :smith:.

Califoria conservation corps, they clean up after wildfires and blaze trails and whatnot. Conservation corps were born out of the depression, but california kept them going.

I'm not gonna disagree with this at all. I'd say that the CCC is really for people who understand, at some level, that something is wrong with their life, and that they want to fix it. For those who want this to happen, it's fantastic. The CCC 100% turned around my outlook on life. I went from being a smug shithead who thought he knew everything (read my thread), to a more humble, and competent person. I can get a job in a bunch of poo poo now because of what the CCC did for me. I wrote that thread my first two months in the CCC. Now, a year plus down the line, I get to look back and go what the gently caress is wrong with me.

Unfortunately,the CCC is really is only good for those who are willing to accept a certain...receptive kind of learning in their lives. If you look through my thread, two of my COMET brothers (COMET is kinda sorta not really like Indoc) and I had some serious disagreements over stupid petty poo poo. Ultimately, they got fired (the first for getting caught with a weed pen, the second for threatening to beat the Conservation Supervisor's rear end), and I survived a year in the CCC. 94% of corpsmembers don't make it a year. I am not making that up: 9.5 out of every 10 people that come in the CCC do not manage to finish a year in it.


Slavic Crime Yacht posted:

One year, 3 months. I just promoted which grants me another 8ish months, and I might get extended again to go to the backcountry program (or promote again to Crew Leader II, whichever comes first). I've got loving oooooddles of dumb corpsmember stories, but I was rightly laughed at for being a racist shitheel the last time I was here a year ago so I don't know if I should post.

1 year. I got extended a month to apply for a 'tent' camp program. I live in a classroom with 12 other dudes who snore super loving loud. I go on 8 day work 'spikes' and then I get 6 days off.

We take vets up to the age of 29. With the exception of one really kind of weird dude, every vet I've met in the Cs has gotten kicked out or was med boarded out. I'd say that on the dumb bullshit scale we're somewhere between Army and USAF level.

Microtrash. Satan almighty, microtrash. Microtrash is the task that happens when your C1 (your supervisor) can't think of any thing else to do. Walk around and find litter. Cigarette butts, bottle caps, anything will do. Pick it up and deposit it in a trash bag. Imagine doing that for 16 hours a day. Now you have an image of what we do if we get assigned 'Facilities' on a fire. That and traffic control. You ever stood in a parking lot for two weeks straight, 16 hours a day? I did that. If any of you goons went to the Thomas Fire in Ventura, CA, you and I met when I told you that you can't park your loving fire engine in loving overhead. Death to all firefighters.
