I couldn't drive on the return trip of our 'relocate training assets' [re:move trucks from parking lot 90 minutes away to a cramped small as gently caress on a hill parking lot 35 minutes away] mission for last month's drill because the NCOIC at the maintenance shop carded me and I only have the training to drive the 1088a1p2s but I am waiting for the physical license from admin. No license on you = no go. I had to ride the bus back like a bitch.  I am also a PFC who literally bought [with cash for 3k under sticker] a 2004 v6 mustang with my money from IET.  At least I didn't spend my money on stupid poo poo like an xbox or new boots like every one else in my company.

Cole posted:During OEF 10-11 we had a guy from 3-2 SCR (just CR now I think?) drive the striker too fast at the elevated main highway and hit the bump so fast he flipped and killed a gunner. I'd hate to live with some poo poo like that.

Let's be real for a moment. Is there anyone that's actually taken the mythical "drivers training"? I have heard of someone taking the class, but it was a guy that knew a guy. I feel like it's as real as the "stress cards" in basic. I'm sure Anansi will come by soon and enlighten us all about his experience with those.

Driver's training was a week in our battalion when I was a private. It consisted of our battalion master driver throwing all of us fresh bloods into the BN HQ basement, having us watch some videos and then (rightfully) bitching about stupid private drivers. We then went to the motor pool where some 88M PSG continued to bitch and yell about us and other dumb privates. We drove some laps around some tank trails behind our motor pool and we were BN licensed.

In CRC circa 2008 post policy was that your first week was in processing, second week was driver's training. I can't remember what level that policy was at.

I just made it to Rear D, and I'm pretty curious if I'm supposed to be doing something other than play xbox all day. I'm going to count this as my payment for all the years of taking the Army's "Rear D".

Best part was the bde csm giving my 1sg a lecture on how no one had better go to the bar and the bde cdr basically saying "gently caress that, get drunk and sleep it off."

 2/2 SCR. It was snowing, we had some range, roads were black but we had permission to drive out from some noble. One flipped stryker, two strykers pile up, and 3 squads in the hospital. Good times besides the fact I had to go back out to the field as soon as the hospital released me.

Need someone to drive an ASV or an MRAP? My license said I could despite never having driven either, ever. It's funny, they make you lose countless hours on EO and SHARP training as if it will magically make a racist or a rapist see the light. The poo poo that will actually kill or maim you and others around you? Nope.

I guess it's a barracks Christmas this year. 2 weeks reception, 14 weeks of infancy training, 2 months in the tradarmy. I say 2 weeks, I mean 12 days, of course I get jesus christ day off so I left on saturday night with the blessing of my 1sgt telling me my leave started this morning. Time to go get married to my fiancee and start collecting that sweet sweet BAH And Honeboy bradley needs to return. Night jumping was probably the most amazing thing I've ever done.

FYI the army recon course is super cool and has awesome instructors. I snuck in a building on benning at 0300 and stole some general's picture to "gather intel" on a field exercise. If you're >E5 or Owhatever and combat arms check it out.

I haven't posted here in a few months, so I'm going to just loving rant it out. I'm about 2 months from leaving Korea and it can'tcome soon enough. I hate being here so.loving.much.so god drat motherfucking much. I can barely articulate it. The loving alerts, the loving curfew (oh don't get me started on that loving poo poo curfew), the random GO1's, courtesy patrol...all of it. gently caress. And now my BC is making it mandatory (legal told him he can't do this) to FRIEND him on Facebook, like the unit's page, and like every post. He bullied all of the CO's into doing it and my CO is trying to hang the fact that he is my senior rater over our heads to make us do this. God loving drat it. gently caress.

Be a grown rear end man, and do what grown rear end men do. Ask yourself if you'll feel like a bitch explaining to your son why you did what you did. That's all the guidance you need when navigating issues where the letter, words, spirit, and intent of the law are on your side. If it's too upsetting for you to grab your dick and tell them to suck it then you've got no place in the business of men anyway.

Like stupid facebook posts and post motivating hooah poo poo about the FRG while you're at work and then give no fucks.
