I just had a friend message me to tell me his slot to be ROTC at Cal State Fullerton was changed to go to Fort Polk as an OC/T. I believe that’s probably the deepest dicking I’ve seen in a while.

I did ROTC there. With few exceptions every instructor I had either ETSd or retired from that job, I assume because nobody could fathom having a better assignment. Better that he doesn't know.

I would suggest that he drink his misery away in the hottest off post party sensation the "Paradise Lounge, " which I believe was constructed from various mobile homes, but it has evidently closed for business.

That doesn't mean he still can't go there to drink away the pain.

I totally understand. There was a place called ‘Korean Delight’ in Radcliff and it was next to a tattoo shop and a bike shop. It was purple.

The owner and I became good friends. I have her bugolgi recipe.

Hey you young dudes. Do Soldiers still jump/beat the poo poo out of their chain of command?

Like, the gently caress gently caress games kind of beating. Mostly just fun with a bloody nose and bruises at worst?

Not exactly that way. Usually on long deployments walking alone as a SL/PSG/PL wasn't a great idea. But if they managed to hold their own against several of you it was pretty fun.

I'm guessing you're the kind of guy who wouldn't find the "skittles surprise" very funny either. :colbert:

Not that I've seen. When I was an LT, they talked up mad game about how it was a thing that happened to all new LT's, but we collectively decided that if soldiers wanted to play that poo poo, we were going to fight hard enough to where someone would likely end up in the hospital, so it never materialized beyond a prank or two.

It's pretty common to bum rush the PL and duct tape him to a tank's gun barrel. In a tanker platoon anyway.

They sure do fight hard though, almost like they feel they deserve to be murdered.

When I was in the 173d we pink bellied our LTs when they got promoted to 1LT, but that happened to everyone that was enlisted, too.

I guess I saw one LT get taped to a cot and lifted into the air and swung around by a crane. But I'm not sure he really fought it beyond yelling at them to make sure he was rigged up properly so he didn't fall and die.

Oh yeah that kind of stuff, IDK I didn't like or care about anyone enough to do poo poo like that and if I could have been off smoking and/or drinking as far as away from anything like that I would've been

I think the major difference is that there's hazing, and then there is just jumping a dude and beating the gently caress out of him.

We totally ductaped people to a creeper and rolled it out in the rain...

If it weren't stupidly cold in AK, people would randomly get snow baths. I saw my predecessor get dragged out of his office and tossed into a snowbank, where a bunch of joes rolled him around for a bit before everyone disappeared zonk-style and he went back to his desk, laughing about it.

So I gather that the explanation is that these things don't happen anymore because they occur in units with high morale and a sense of unity.

At my first unit they waited until we were out in the middle of the lake on the assault raft and then threw us in.

Yeah, had an old buddy that dated a stripper and she made him sleep with a wall of pillows between them.

He never got to hear the end of it.

The rank beatings and blood rank when that was more of a thing I always thought was super hosed up and I just followed the golden rule.
I was on staff duty at the time but one of the soldiers in my platoon got his e4 I think it was and his squad leader punched him in the sternum and the kid just instantly collapsed like he was dead lol. Potentially dying for a small raise lol boys will be boys

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
I've never been to a strip club but I've slept with one and briefly dated another. Pretty easy to do as a student at USF where there are actually girls that are stripping to pay for college.

The first one I knew was a stripper before hand but she was cool and came to our parties and the girl I dated I didn't know was a stripper until later.

Being older and having very different life experiences definitely contributes to having difficulty getting along with my West Pointer peers.

When we were at NTC our BDE commander gave the whole BDE the freedom to drink one weekend at the end of our rotation before we left but our leadership told us no, we can't drink.

Later that night one of the soldiers in my CO got drunk and tried to fight the BDE OPs SGM, several 1SGs and finally the MPs once they were called.

The annoying part is those mallets only last for like two promotions before the handle breaks.
