I went on a convoy to Taji or Baji (one of those places, who the gently caress knows) in the beginning of my deployment, and it was run by first cav

I saw two E3's standing guard in front of the PX, making sure no one stepped on the massive 1st cav horsehead mural painted on the blacktop, they did 8 hour shifts of this, in full battle rattle.

poor loving bastards.

They didn't even buy me dinner first.

I turned in my equipment, had two drills left, and just didn't go. They called me the first time and I said I didn't know I had drill but can't make it anyway. Two months later, got my discharge. Woo!

Yeah. If you're a regular or admin sep, they pretty much just want their poo poo back/paid for and finance to be settled if you owe. PCMJ has been in effect for almost a year now but I haven't seen it applied in practice.

So I finally got an appointment today and it ended up being with some of the Air Force providers at the hospital here on BAF. To quote, my shoulder is "jacked up" and I "possibly need surgery, but regardless of that definitely an MRI". They set me up to go to Germany and were going to get me taken care of. Then, about half an hour ago I get a call from the (useless) medics at my battalion aid station and I'm told that I have to see the PA. I go in there and he starts telling me that the people I got referred to see can't diagnose me and that he's pretty much nixing the entire loving thing. Instead I get to go back in tomorrow and see the ortho doc that my battalion has, which they said I would be doing almost three weeks ago now. I'm so loving fed up with all this poo poo.

Your battalion PA is what, an O2? And I'm guessing the Air Force guys were at least O4? Go back to them tomorrow, explain the situation, and ask them to call up your battalion PA and bitch him out.

That's one of the things I'm thinking about doing. And yeah, I saw an O3 and O5 at the hospital and my PA is an O2. It's the same dude that was like, oh hey, you have a separated shoulder and probably shouldn't be wearing kit but I'm going to go ahead and not stop anyone from taking you to Ghazni even though you need treatment.

Well, my plan right now is to go ahead and see the orthopedics guy tomorrow morning. My supply sergeant, who is the only other person in my company currently here is going to talk to another PA about this loving mess, and if that doesn't go anywhere I'm going back to see the Air Force providers I saw today and I'm going to tell them to bitch out the PA that's loving me over.

e: After my morning visit to see ortho, they came to the same loving conclusion that I need an MRI and possibly surgery. What. The. gently caress. I hate you army, I can't wait to be out.

You're in the forward operating environment and kids over their are DYING every day. Everyone at every level is giving you a chance to show your BALL SACK and volunteer to stay, that's what every kid ever did when they got hurt over there. But I guess you're big bad "hurt shouldy" man, like a little bitch, and want to get out of Afghanistan as fast as possible, dumb peace loving hippy-nic.

Do like some kid at the Benning 4th of july (on the 28th of June) celebration did, pound down 2 32 oz monsters, run to your DS and pass the gently caress out within 30 seconds of starting your run.
