MS paint threads for the motherfucking win. My platoon was pulled up at this Iraqi drug smugglers tent. We had already searched his poo poo and were waiting on lift for the prisoners. While we were waiting, I pissed in a bottle and threw it out in the desert. One of the scouts was bulshitting with one of the drivers and somehow the driver got dared into drinking my bottle of piss. It got negotiated into 1 swig of piss that he swallows and one swig that he swishes and spits out for $1000. He uncaps, exclaims "mmm vodka" and starts drinking. I see some dribble down his face and turn around gagging. He was making like $150 a day or something. vains fucked around with this message at 07:21 on Nov 28, 2012 |

Uroboros posted:- My Reporting Senior for a short 4 month period was a newly arrived Capt. He was an air winger by trade and new very little about what I did, and I ended up having very little interaction with the man. Anyway, we go to the Phillippines and upon returning the Capt suddenly leaves the unit. Since we very little interaction I think nothing of it. Fast forward a full year I'm going down memory lane with a friend and off handedly ask "what happened to Capt such-n-such?". Turned out he tested positive for HIV. He was also married...

- was all like "Hey sir, I have a great idea! Let's do a bring your wife to work day where they can wear uniforms and shoot guns and blah blah somebody please cut my dick off!" He also referred to his wife as "Household Six" which always makes me instantly hate whoever says it. MG Milley was like, "Not a bad idea, son, but that's a lot of work for the whole division to do at once and there are liability issues and whatnot. But we'll look into it!" The MAJ who was from the DIV G3 looked like he was gonna take a poo poo on the CPT's face. When Milley left the room the MAJ got in his face in front of everyone and said "Never, ever, ever loving suggest something like that to the division commander again. If he had bought into it, guess what? We'd have to plan it. And then it'd be mandatory for every single brigade and battalion. And then guess who would actually be planning it? You. I'll remember your name, don't worry. If you wanna do wife-day things, do it at your loving battalion."

The way they told me the story, they were giving the range brief, dude started popping them off, by the time they got to the truck and pulled him off the 249 was doing its own thing. I'm pretty sure 249 runaway gun conditions are caused by bad sears, generally. A cook off in the receiver would detonate the round and explode the case. Although, who knows? Crazy poo poo happens all the time.

Admiral Bosch posted:I had a buddy of mine get hospitalized on Bastion with a concussion after an IED strike. While he was laid up in bed, still concussed, our platoon sergeant(who never went on convoys with us, for the record. Not once.) went to see him so he could NJP him for losing his NVGs during said IED strike. Lost a stripe for it. But he got a PH! Platoon Sergeants can't NJP anyone so I assume you meant charge. Pretty obvious thing to request mast about, though. At some point, some officer is going to say to himself "Man, I really don't want my boss to see this poo poo."

Admiral Bosch posted:Yeah you're right. I can never remember the particulars of that sort of thing. Regardless, really stupid. I honestly kind of doubt a request mast would have gone anywhere as the entire security platoon was made up of reservists from different units, so once we all left nobody would be accountable for poo poo. That's just me guessing, though. By MCO and NAVMC directive, a request mast has to go somewhere and, generally, it has to happen within 24 hours. Not that it really matters but its pretty dumb to get fried for losing your NVGs after an IED strike. If anything, it is the responsibility of that Marine's platoon sergeant to secure his serialized gear prior to him getting casevaced.

If you're going to appear on national tv, you should probably wear something more appropriate.

iyaayas01 posted:Who cringes at the dude in cammies shopping on his way home from work? Like maybe that's a USMC thing because HONOR MAH UNIFORM or whatever bullshit but I go grocery shopping on my way home from work (where I wear utilities every day), I'm not stationed at a base with a commissary, and I'm not loving driving home to change and then go back out to the store. Sorry if that makes Marines the world over cringe at my blatant unprofessionalism. I don't recall bringing the Marine Corps into this and I think their stringent 'no utilities off base' thing is silly and a pain in the rear end. That being said, when one is appearing on national TV, representing their service, maybe they should dress up a little bit more than what you wear on a daily basis. I know the decision almost certainly wasn't his so it was probably his retard command, imagine that in the AF. "Hmm we can have some guy look like a slob in this zippered cloth bag or he could wear just about anything else" And yes, GiP regularly mocks/cringes at dudes wearing their utilities off base outside of working hours or the immediate period before or after.

We had some guys in my company get caught smoking pot with the ANBP or ANP. They got put on post/gunny's bitch for the remainder and didn't suffer any legal repercussions. There probably wasn't enough evidence other than some testimony by retard ANBP/ANA guys.
