Some shitbird got rolled into* my division in basic. He was always talking poo poo about how his old division was a CNO division (they got a bunch of awards that mean jack poo poo after you graduate). Anyway, he got himself into trouble again, and our RDCs (Navyspeak for drill instructors) were yelling at him in their office. Navy basic keeps track of your fuckups on what they call a hard card (another thing that means jack poo poo after you graduate). Well, one RDC pulled out the dude's hard card, and the loving thing unrolled onto the floor like a prop from some 1930s comedy. :laffo:

Speaking of hard cards, I just remembered another retard from basic. He got rolled out* of our division for some reason, and they somehow found his old hard card. That's right. He went through basic before and got poo poo-canned for being a gently caress up. I guess he tried to enlist again, probably with a fake name. Who knows? We never saw him again.


*The acronym for that one is "ASMO" - Assignment Memorandum :eng101:

The only dumb car story I have is the E-5 buying a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 (this is when it was still a new ~$50k model) with his re-enlistment money. Eventually, he had to sell it, and he bought a Galant VR-4.

We don't have a smartest dude in the army thread so I'm posting here instead.

A private in my platoon uses old cigarette butts from the ground, ash trays, and trash cans to roll 'new' cigarettes. He says he can never get a job, it is impossible in thiis economy. Meanwhile, two fresh faced 18 year olds show up to the unit and manage to have jobs by their next drill. His roommate is a former Ranger who can knows the Ft. Irwin installation CO and can totally hook our us up with range time. He told LT this in front of everyone. His fiance can't even really be classified as a homo sapien. She is a sentient meatsack. He medidated in the field...during his guard shift. Did you know you don't have to respond to radio checks when you're meditating? It's in the AR about religion dudes. He is writing a book that's a cross between LOTR, Harry Potter, twilight, and whatever else is popular right now (he is giving me a copy when he's done). Oh, he even doesn't have to pay rent because his parenrs are gracious enough to pay his share when he's visiting every day. He hasn't passed an APFT since his last one at AIT over a year ago. But it's not his fault, there's just this one really hosed up spot on the road that's easy to trip on three times. Life is hard for a pimp.

Today a MSgt was trying to demonstrate to me that a radio in their truck was intermittent, but it was working fine when he was trying to show me the problem. During this he started the truck inside it's tiny little garage with the door closed. Trying to be diplomatic I questioned how well the garage is ventilated, and he told me he was only going to let it run for a minute. I was really close to storming out when he did turn it off. I don't know how long it would take to fill that garage up with carbon monoxide but I don't particularly feel like experimenting either.

With a modern car, it would probably take a while to fill the garage with CO. Then again, it's probably a carburated leaded fuel engine with no emissions control equipment, so you're probably lucky to be alive. Enjoy your lung cancer, I guess. :shobon:

Reading this thread, I don't have a whole lot of stories that match up or are particularly interesting. I guess I always have this though:

On the way out to the ship, our first flight was delayed which hosed everything up. We were all supposed to meet the ship in Bahrain but ended up spending three nights at the Pars hotel downtown instead, before we were to met up with a tanker in Djibouti. I'm sure a few people here have been to Bahrain. For those who haven't: I don't consider myself to be the of the highest moral standing or anything, but personally I think they should burn that fuckin' place to the ground.

Some people from our group were getting hookers from the hooker bar on the first floor. So the plan was to pass the time me and a few others would go down to the desk and say we lost our keycard and then bust into whoever's room we knew got a hooker, and then I would yell "MORTAL COMBAT" from the top of my loving lungs and then we'd just embarrass the gently caress out of whoever was in the room by whatever means we could. (Mind you I haven't been sober since we were waiting for our first flight out of the Virginia airport.)

The first guy's room we busted into (a nuke drop) was a pretty good catch. We slam the door open and find him on all fours on the bed beating it while this asian slave hooker was licking his butthole like honey was coming out of it. I yell "mortal combat" while two other guys shove him off the bed and we all have a good laugh while the hooker runs into the bathroom. Later the guy pretty much has no shame and is trying to talk us all into getting our buttholes licked while trying to beg us for beer money.

A little later, someone said he saw one of the undes guys go up to his room with a hooker so we go ahead and pull the same act. Someone slams the door open and before I can yell out "mortal combat" I notice that this is the same slave whore girl the last nuke-drop dude had maybe an hour ago. This motherfucker is tongue deep in this hooker. Like in her mouth with his tongue. All I could say while they both stared at us was "you're kissing (nuke-drops) butt" and then we left somewhat defeated.

One of our nukes got caught with a Grotopotamus on top of him. Luckily, the dude who caught him happened to have a Polaroid camera. Goddamn, that was a hilarious picture.

Worked with an O-5 that did Electronic Warfare, had a masters in some IT-related field from a legit university, did 25 then got out and currently sells lovely financial products to people on a commission. Word was he whiffed on something like 20 interviews for government positions after he got out and the dude wasn't retarded or weird or anything. I talked to him after I ETSed because I thought he worked for a legit company but I wound up walking out of an "interview" with his regional manager. Later the O-5 called me asking if I wanted to get together and write down everyone I know so we could call them and offer them poo poo-rear end financial services. Long story short you should never bank on your military service meaning anything.

To keep things on the idiot track...non-ironically posing with your rifle pointed at a wall wearing shades and a pink pop-collar shirt in your barrack room isn't cool. It's not cool on week 1 of basic, and it's especially not cool as an Lt. And if you do feel compelled to take one, don't put it on facebook. Because even if you decide to display judgement for the first time in your life and take it down, once it's on the internet it's out there for good so you really shouldn't be surprised when it shows up again in a very public manner.
