So I just had a manager in my orientation bitch about people "abusing" sick time, then segued into how sick time didn't even exist in the army. Like, no poo poo, that's why I don't work at army. This motherfucker didn't even identify himself as ARMY as gently caress, until he said that poo poo and I loving despised it.

My corps gave me a whole half day off when I got 3 out of 4 wisdom teeth pulled in boot camp. And then for some reason they decided to take out the last one four years later and I got another half day off. That equals one sick day per five years. Pretty sweet if you ask me.

I had my wisdom teeth pulled out on ship while underway at 36. I had to hold onto the light for the dentist because the ship rocking kept moving it back and forth. It felt like the sketchiest Tijuana back alley operation I'd ever seen. Also took me two weeks to recover from because I am old and they cut my jaw muscles all up to get to the bottom roots.

Recruit training extraction is so loving good. A wet rag over your eyes, some local anesthetic, and two hours of some ancient battleaxe chiseling your teeth apart and pulling out shards. But it beats being in the squad bay. -- Waking up with your pillow covered in blood ++ Bedrest while the rest of the platoon's getting quarterdecked ++ Saving the pain pills for the crucible

I took a week of leave on Okinawa and just stayed in the barracks the whole time. It was pretty cool to watch everyone else go to work.

I spent three years assigned to an amphib. Our last visit to Australia we had an Osprey crash into our flight deck and roll into the ocean. We pulled everyone out of the drink except 3. The pilot, one of the crew chiefs, and the most junior artilleryman in the battery. The Marines were pretending to do embassy reinforcement and were on their way back. I stood out on the flight deck and watched several thousand aircraft land in those three years. Conditions couldn't have been any more perfect for flight and to this day I still don't know why it crashed.

Definitely downwash reflecting off the deck back into the rotors causing excessive sink rate, some possibility that the crew miscalculated aircraft weight. The odd part of the report is that it says there was no flying error, but also notes that there was no mechanical error and weather wasn't bad, so uh, what does that leave you with? Act of god? Flew a death approach profile well? Pilots were given bad training/tech data leading them to perform approaches that aren't tenable? This accident was apparently very similar to the one where an Osprey ended up settling with its tail hanging off the back end of the deck.

One of the idiot reservists that deployed with us was super proud of his father working on designing the osprey. I hope he doesn't pass his genes on

The Osprey is still somehow safer than helicopters. But helicopters want you totally dead always.

When I got my hip surgery I got a month of convo leave and was assigned TAD to Wounded Warrior Bn in San Diego where I pulled per diem for the entire time as well. Best month I spent in the Corps

Saw our pilots do a touch and go before picking us up and drat near knocked the running wheels off Assault/Blackhawk pilots tend to land aggressively out of necessity, once the aircraft gets IGE (in ground effect) overseas in dust you get totally blinded. The only time I've been scared flying is at night under goggles in dust conditions coming in for a landing, you are literally landing by control touch and watching your instrumentation.

Back in Pensacola we had those jack and jill bathrooms and during field day one time one of the guys from the other room was cleaning the shower wearing only diving goggles so I video taped it. Is that gay?
