So before the guy was released I told his baby sitter that the Soldier had to clean his entire locker out before he could go home. We had a mouse infestation a few months back and lockers were covered in rat poo poo. Today we figured out where it was from. Dude had two to-go plates and what looked like a half eaten MRE in his locker. His old uniforms and civilians were covered in mouse poo poo/piss.

Feel super bad that he had to spend his part of his 4 day weekend escorting a retard around. I gave him Tuesday off as comp. Better than nothing right?

lmao, this Kaliber soldier saga is hilarious because while dude is a dumbass piece of poo poo, he got to be really fuckin' effective at being a dumbass by being given a bunch of free time and not being checked on by ncos. Health and welfares so you can bitch about "barracks sop" are dumb but health and welfares to find literal vermin make sense and help you find PFC Filth.

The NCO didn't clean it out, we made the kid do it.

Another retarded thing, his old leadership made him move to goddamn main post to the WTU barracks since he was getting out of the army to make room for all the new tankers and poo poo coming into the unit. So he's 5 miles away from our compound, has no car, or a license, without anyone to give him a ride to work.....


But the problem is, our entire BDE is transitioning to mech from light. So they PCS'ed about 90% of all the NCO all at once, while bringing in tanker privates in, with the 11B privates PCS'ing 6 months later. Then they moved all the 11B NCOs over to the infantry company, before realizing that they were 200% overstrength and there was no way to move the rest of the privates over. Which led to my situation, the 1 or two NCOs leaving at the end of year in each company got to stay, with their 40+ privates. The last 3 month all I been doing is attempting to get accountability (It's to the point where I have 4 formations a day to make sure those idiots are clearing and not in their rooms), writing awards for Soldiers I never worked with because their prior leadership was garbage, dealing with chapters, the ETS'er and PCS'er, while trying to clear myself and getting tasked with every red cycle detail. It's a loving headache all around and gently caress HRC for getting rid of the NCOs before the goddamn lower enlisted.

The only thing that makes this somewhat tolerable is the fact that I was suppose to take over as 1SG of one of the other companies that lost all their SNCOs. Lucky an armored E7 and E8 came right as I was going to take over. I probabaly would have blew my brains out by now if I did.



EDIT: Kid is still not gone. He was suppose to ETS yesterday. But still has to turn in the commander's signature for ACAP, clear the unit and installation.

Because most government contractors want to hire warm bodies off the street that they can bill against. E4 who touched exchange once during a rotation at NTC? Congrats, you're now a network engineer handling a massive multi-homed BGP deployment.

This guy gets it. "E4 that tailed contractors around on service jobs in a hungover haze, you know deep level unix networking and CCNP/CCIE level cisco poo poo, right? No? You just spent your whole time deployed and haven't touched anything worse than excel for 3+ years? But you have a clearance and will lie about your skillset and experience right? Here's a $200k+/year contract. Oh you're crazy too... Hmm well can you just stop smoking pot until after the piss test and tell the psych people everything is ok?" - My literal experience.

Federal IT at least within the intel community IS contractors, friend. Add that clearance and a deployed job site and we would have spit in your face at $90k. I had just started a family, gone crazy and started smoking pot when I got out though so that didn't work out for me but I'm just saying that as military IT people, we exclusively were hired out as contractors after ETS'ing. I received offers from CACI/Genesis and some other rando's when I got out for example. Years after my clearance has expired and I still get recruiters (contracting, not military obviously) contacting me occasionally.

It's almost impossible to change in the tents here because the support sections keep using females as weapons guards in a male tent. And for some loving reason companies are spread out across multiple tents in stead of consolidated in one.
