I still have my IBA + plates because it fell off the books when I was leaving and I can't be bothered to deal with it, so it's sitting in my trunk of Army bullshit.

Second set of plates though because I fell real bad once and my mags on my chest broke the plate.

I still have all of my TA-50 including my ACH. I somehow avoided clearing CIF while transitioning to the IRR. I still use the sleep system for camping and the cold weather stuff (especially the intermediate layers) in the winter.

Also the leather work gloves. Those things are indestructible.

Can’t wait for psydude to be on the doorstep of retirement when he’s 103 years old only to find out his retirement savings are getting garnished because he owes $8000 in TA50.

$8000 of TA-50 that was only worth $80 when I ETSed, but they're charging me for the original purchase price because Army.

Make sure you keep track of the 9-volt battery that CIF wanted to charge me like $45 for.

What about the 15 year old Dell Dimension desktop that you signed that they want $1500 to replace. Along with another $80 for the moondust inside that went missing with it.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.

I had a CAF issued pack stolen out of my car on the way to parade one night, fuckers also stole my school laptop and change (what is it with junkies and change in people's cars?)
Filled out the lost kit report "in the line of duty" and got the police report.

Fast forward 4 years as I'm GTFO of the army and they try and pull "oh you owe us 2000 bucks for the missing kit" as they had miraculously misplaced my lost kit report and police report. By some freak happenstance I had a copy of both of them signed by the QM and was able to slap it on his desk. He was not pleased but since his name was on it, couldn't do anything about it.

This was also the same unit that tried to give me a less-than-honorable discharge because they said I wasn't replying to emails about my release. I found out they were sending Protected A information to a completely random hotmail account and holy poo poo I absolutely blew my top on them.

1) Less than honorable completely fucks with any government service jobs in the future. I was 24 when this was going down and wanted to go into government work.
2) A whole bunch of personal information went to some random fucker's email address.

quote:

The attorney for a 39-year-old man charged with assaulting a child who didn't take his hat off for the national anthem says his client, compromised by a traumatic brain injury, believes he was acting on an order from President Donald Trump.

Superior resident Curt Brockway was charged Monday with felony assault on a minor. His defense attorney, Lance Jasper, told the Missoulian Wednesday the president's "rhetoric" contributed to the U.S. Army veteran's disposition when he choke-slammed a 13-year-old, fracturing his skull, at the Mineral County fairgrounds on Aug. 3.

"His commander in chief is telling people that if they kneel, they should be fired, or if they burn a flag, they should be punished," Jasper said. "He certainly didn't understand it was a crime."

A request to the White House for comment was not returned. Mineral County Attorney Ellen Donohue's office said she was unavailable for comment Wednesday afternoon.

Jasper said he's gotten a handful of hateful voicemails at his office since taking Brockway's case, but that Brockway's family has received "hundreds" of death threats in the days since the 13-year-old boy was flown to Spokane by emergency flight for treatment.

I got issued an IBA and ACH when I "deployed" to Kuwait. I left it in a pile at headquarters with a note pinned on that said "please return to supply depot by [redeployment date]"

Nobody has ever said anything about it.

I’ve been looking up the cost of living in various areas around the world — mostly not-the-UK-Europe. I’m not going to be one of the people who swears I’ll leave if trump wins, but I’m not going to rule out the possibility of moving out of the country all together.

I don’t care to stick around and watch this place implode and I’m not going to make it my responsibility to *~*vote*~* in 2024 to correct an unsolvable problem. I’ll just leave.

If I’m being honest, I just don’t want to be associated with this poo poo. It’s going to get to the point where people look at the US and just assume (for good reason) that we are all racist gun toting pieces of poo poo. At this point I feel like on an international scale it’s just limited to trump and republicans and not ALL Americans... yet.

When you think Germany in the 1930s and 40s you immediately think Nazis. That’s how it’ll be when people look at the US in hindsight. I don’t want to be visible in that hindsight.
