This article title pisses me off because the author does absolutely nothing to disprove that the cause is because she's an idiot--all she does is demonstrate that it is more common than one might expect. Which is to say, more people are stupid than one might expect. Dick Burglar fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Jun 20, 2019 |

That's a very fun opinion to engage with after admitting that I dealt with it a lot and was bullied in military school for being "retarded".

occamsnailfile posted:They let people in who have inhalers now? When I was in high school I was thinking about enlisting but that was a showstopper. Dodged a bullet in retrospect. Lol pulled an all nighter studying and still failed Calculus so I’m definitely the idiot. Somehow found a better way to study chemistry in the midst of that but whatever. Alright so they won’t let you join if you pull up to the recruiter all wheezy as gently caress but if you manage to get through MEPS, basic, tech school etc and are eventually diagnosed it depends on how bad it is or more importantly “how controllable the symptoms are”. It could end with you getting the boot it could end with you just being deployment limited. Honestly from what little I knew/remember from her case she probably would have been fine almost anywhere except for being forced to jog through one of the worst asthma symptom aggregating environments imaginable. Ok to put a lighter side on this left/right poo poo I apparently started. So we were stuck with this guy driving a truck at Manas and the end of the road you could only go left ( the wrong way into a kill zone) or right (the entire side of the base) long story short it took three people pointing and screaming to keep this guy from getting us shot by some bored E-3. I feel like some nuance is lost in my telling but the story isn’t over and that part is what it is. Where it gets really interesting is this guy’s claim that being an AC-130 aerial gunner was as psychologically demanding as being a Navy SEAL. This piqued some people’s interest and after some questioning he said because it described maintaining noise discipline and being stuck in a dark confined place for long periods of time. We were confused how much noise discipline you need in a 4 propellor aircraft flying a half mile in the sky dumping an auto cannon into a house and it turns out he sucked at his job and the rest of the crew would make him sit silently tucked in a corner during missions lmao. Probably because he couldn’t tell his left and right. Cenen fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Jun 20, 2019 |

I dated a girl who’s brother couldn’t make it through MEPS in 2003. He also threw a temper tantrum to the level where I was standing between him and his sister because she plugged the toilet by accidentally knocking a bar of soap into it. I never called him Pvt Pyle, not that he would have gotten it. E: The soap was in a soap dish on the back of the toilet, on the handle side. E2: The reason he freaked out is because he couldn’t poop in public. Not sure if he failed out of MEPS because of that, the fatness, or one of his many other social defects. goatsestretchgoals fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Jun 21, 2019 |

I was a fat, useless gently caress still in recovery from severe mononucleosis when I was conscripted (  ) in 2004, I made it through fine*. How the gently caress did he manage to get kicked out during MEPS in 2003?  *5'9" / 260 lbs of mostly fat after mono hosed me good 1.5 years before, I lost 25 lbs in the first 6 weeks of basic and was in decent shape by the time I went to A-school to be a sonar operator

They kicked me out of MEPS my first time because the backpack I brought with me had a steak knife in one of the pockets which I didn't know about. They pulled me aside and asked me about the large knife in my bag then kicked me out onto the street. My recruiter was pisssssssssed The idiot is me for going back a couple weeks later and enlisting successfully.

I had last used the bag on a camping trip, and had a steak knife, and a carving knive as well actually now that I think about it. They were in a side pocket that I didn't think to open.

I had played the role of Admiran von Schriber in the Sound of Music. As part of my costume I had random fruit salad and some officer type rank insignia. Which I put in my backpack and forgot. When I hit bootcamp and going through contraband search, dude pulls out this poo poo and looks at me asking exactly what I was doing bringing officer rank pins.

I flew all the way to Australia, going through two US airport checkpoints, halfway through my trip while hopping through some BFE airport, asking why they pulled my bag out I hear “mate you’ve got a fokkin knife in yer bag” and he pulls out a 3” knife on a side pocket I hadn’t touched since I was backpacking months before.

I forget who it was, but I recall being told a story by someone who would test the TSA at airports by trying to get onto planes with drugs and stuff. They generally caught him at the x-ray, but multiple times he'd make it to the gate, ready to board a plane that he wasn't supposed to get on, and had to call security on himself.
