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.

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.

Is this even legal lmao

They also implemented a rule where your BAC can't be .05 within 4 hours of an alert. Very difficult to enforce though.

Difficult? How is this even possible to enforce at all lmao

Go army.

When I was in Korea we got off work and a few guys went out and started drinking. We got recalled (not put on alert) and he got busted down from e5 to e4 for drunk on duty.

I got there as he was doing his extra duty so I don't know if there was anything else that caused his art15, but p hosed up if true.

Sometimes the Army is fun.

"We got 30k 5.56, 15k 7.62 and 100 .50 cal. Everyone gets to shoot 3 rounds of .50 cal"*

*semi true story. We only had 250 .50 cal for the entire company. No one above e-5 shot it, and only half of everyone e-5 and below got to shoot it.

We had a guy get hooked on pain killers so he would fail a piss test and get chaptered out. Dude's medicine cabinet looked like a pharmacy.

The best part is he got hooked on pills, like legit went to rehab as we were deploying, because "I don't like the way weed makes me feel."

Unfortunately he took a few people down with him because he had other peoples meds in his cabinet.
