“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
What goes on at Bragg that makes guys from the 82nd just love gay army poo poo?

It's ironic that as good as the leadership/command climate is in my unit, we're probably never going to deploy. Or if we do it will be long after the leadership switches out. Of my fellow armor/cav buddies from my OCS company, I'm the only one not going to Afghanistan.

They ditched it as the everyday hat back to the patrol cap in 2011 or 12 maybe? It's still a thing though for ceremonies and dress uniform stuff though, last I knew.

What does De Opprso Liber mean Pvt Lannister

"To Liberate the Oppressed Staff Sgt'"

"Wrong, beret with liner. Beat your face"

Everyday wear had the liner cut out. Inspection beret had the liner in.

gently caress berets.

I haven't worn a beret since I commissioned, the few times I've had to wear a fancy hat I just wear a stetson. My beret doesn't fit anymore anyway, it fits a bald basic trainees head, not someone with hair.

HCT I'm literally crying from flashbacks now, thanks. Now I'm going to have to go volunteer at a woman's shelter to work of the shame of being apart of that place.

As far as beret talk. I'm in an airborne unit and pretty much only wear my PC unless I'm in a formation. I've had 82d NCOs stop me to ask why I'm not wearing my beret. I usually just shrug l, put my hands in my pockets, and walk away. I can feel their impotent rage.

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”

if my choice of headgear for an event is either a beret or a stetson, a stetson is an easy choice

Otherwise I'm a horrible cavalryman, I don't remember Fiddlers Green and I never wear my stetson on Fridays like people initially tried to get me to do here

I raise the 82d has a rep, but all the gay I experienced there was pretty much per for course Army gay. I got stuck with a bunch of good dudes under mostly great leadership.

WELL IN THE 82ND WE DID IT THIS WAY poo poo.

Case in point: some douchenozzle 82nd brigade came in 2/3rds of the way through our deployment and became in charge of our task force or whatever. we already had had about 10 KIA in my company so far, and we knew our neighborhood. nope, COL 82nd dum dum says THATS NOT HOW WE DO IT IN THE 82ND, you loving mechtoads need to do more FOOT PATROLS in the neighborhood where we get sniped on a routine basis. we had loving bradleys and humvees and were doing pretty good compared to when we first started out. so we start doing foot patrols, two of their brand new lieautenants get shot and killed. to put the cherry on top of the poo poo pile, their colonel was out with some general looking at the wall being built around the neighborhood. the general had his helmet off, and the colonel got shot in the balls.

What time period and area was this? I wonder if it was a buddy's unit, because he told a very similar story from the 82d side.

Also, I used to piss off Cav officers by saluting with "General Custer, sir!" instead of that gay rear end "Gary Owen"

My unit had the same poo poo happen (new unit loving up the program) by the 101 and some Marines.
