I had to review several vaccine waiver packages, which included getting an interview with the chaplain, and the write-up was almost always "does not identify with any particular branch of Christianity, does not regularly attend church, does not consider him/herself particularly religiously observant, etc etc". All of them had gotten the other two dozen shots that the military required of them prior to that. So yeah, really great precedent.

The reddit relationships drama thread on SA found a Marine.

quote:

AITA [ed - 'Am I The rear end in a top hat?'] for falsely accusing a veteran of stolen valor, when she couldn't give any details about her service?

I (34m) served as a Captain in the Marine Corps. I have left the service, and right now I am doing an MBA. One of my classmates (31F), who we'll call "J", is very gentle, very soft-spoken and unassuming. J and I were working together on a case study once, and I started opening up to her about my military service and all the lessons that I've learnt from the Corps. J enthusiastically told me "that's so cool! I was a Surface Warfare Officer in the Navy!"

I immediately felt suspicious about this claim. As I said, J is very demure, and she doesn't really have the bravado that is required in the military environment (at least, I feel like a certain amount of bravado is required). I still humored her, and began asking about the details of her military experience - where she deployed, what courses she went through, what ship she served on, etc etc. Suddenly J got all tight-lipped, and she couldn't say anything specific about military life. She kept making excuses along the lines of "it just wasn't a good period of my life" and "I'd rather not talk about it". Eventually I felt like I had done enough snooping around, and I bluntly told her that she was bullshitting, and that I'd rather not work with a phony.

I talked about this experience with my friend, M, at our school's veterans organization. I told M to be wary of anything J says. M responded by telling me that J did serve, he's seen her paperwork and ID and everything, and that in fact, one of her MBA recommendation letters was written by a retired rear admiral (O-8) who held J in high regard. Whoops.

The next time I met J, before our class started, I tried to act chummy towards her and make up for accusing her of being a liar. She laughed in my face and told me to "pound sand, poolee". And for those of you who don't know, yes, she was being derisive here.

AITA?

I worked at a gun shop with an older man, John, who claimed super outlandish stories of his time in Vietnam. poo poo like shooting kids with a Hush Puppy, along with bragging about his Silver Star. He said something that itched my brain, so I decided to do a little Google.

Dude was full of poo poo. Next time he started running his trap, I looked at a coworker, and said simply, "He doesn't have a Silver Star. He's lying." and walked away. My coworker, a retired Army Crew Chief, asked him about it privately, later.

John quit the next shift.

gently caress that guy.

It's against the rules of the relationships thread to repost stories there unless it's to provide a refresher for an update. That doesn't mean there isn't a lot of repetitive ones though given people are usually shitheads in similar ways :confuoot:

Is chronic lack of rear end wiping post poo poo a thing in the armed forces the way it is in reddit lady's boyfriends?

Grip it and rip it posted:

Right, but you're generally using some kind of smart munitions for this process right? Because you'll regularly be calling in close or very close support and need the added accuracy that they provide over regular conventional artillery fire, right?

I lived on a submarine and we just launched Tomahawks so I don't know poo poo about the relative accuracies of these weapons systems or even the type of munitions they use, generally. I would assume the advent of smart artillery systems was a response to exactly the kind of scenario you're describing.

Hi, the smart munition there is guys like me, a former Gunner and A-Gunner on a m198 levelling their bubble vials very carefully and using the right powder charge on an HE shell with a fuze on .05 sec delay. HE is still cheaper and more plentiful than anything with fins on it and spin stabilized is good out for longer than you'd think.

Never send a man where you can send a bullet.

Sweep and zone is good too... Man I was jacked back then...

"J" probably thinks the guy who wrote that is an rear end in a top hat which is a good bet if USMC officer. Oh and a side note, USMC officers who value bravado over competency tend to be fratricidally incompetent shitwits that have at least one squad if not an entire platoon or company/battery plotting how to kill them in their sleep. If any HQ battery CO's from 2003 are reading this I hope he knows everyone who worked under him holds him in the lowest regard possible.
