The former marine in my unit wouldnt stop saying "HOORAH" at all loving times. nor would he shut the gently caress up about his time in Levenworth, or any training event was not "like it was back in the corp, 'rah?"

I have a friend who got hit with a stolen valor claim. He let the dude talk poo poo for a good 5 minutes until he wheeled himself backwards and the dude realized his lower body was lacking two legs. Honestly that poo poo is so stupid, why do people go Stolen valor hunting, is it really that special to yell at a dude wearing a hosed up uniform and make a gigantic scene?

It may be the WTU. I had an NCO that got sent there from Afghanistan and said that they used the WTU members as the labor force on the post. He was sweeping hallways and cutting grass 10 hours a day, 6 days a week with an O4 who had finally had enough after being strung along for 2 months and left. Let that sink in for a second: the Ft. Knox WTU takes people who were injured badly enough to warrant being sent to a special unit for treatment (my NCO had hosed up his back) and makes them to do manual labor.

no surprise that the armys WTU is run by people who consider anyone who is injured to be faking it and a malingerer. Anyone who isnt obviously missing limbs is a faker in their eyes

I can't believe there were how ever many people in WTU and not a single one went to IG/their congressman about that.

Apparently a lot of complaints about the abuse disappear seeing as WTU likes to threaten to stop your paper work or slow it down and keep you there longer.

One of of my friends dealt with this, constant threats to keep him there for longer if he didnt do whatever they told them to do like any pleb detail.

they make the standards stupid if they are trying to cut the force down.

these are the only reasons current standards ever get altered one way or the other. last SMA was doomed from the start because he's basically the face of dumb regulation and there was a drawdown in effect through his time til he retired. this SMA will be a goddamn hero, "one of the guys" just because they want more people in and he gets to be the face of good news for enlisted, rather than the face of dumb regulation.

The OP to this thread is great, I'll read the whole article eventually. I was an NCO for a year before I separated, and I probably heard "just pencil - whip it" about 300 times on forms for required pricedures. I remember two instances where I was advised by my platoon sergeant to forge my commanders signature because he was unavailable, and one time when my battalion IA told me to pull files off a secret laptop with my personal thumb drive because he needed them for some report he was doing. I never got counseled for refusing to do any of those things, but it made me sad that all these breaches were happening when I had to memorize and recite all those loving creeds that said I would never do stuff like that.

yeah but the creed could be "i am an NCO so now i will literally suck the CSM's dick" and you would still say it even though you don't really plan to follow anything it says

This was a promotion board joke.

You have to say the for example infantrymens creed and if you fail to recite your creed you won't get promoted.

My Brigade similar to the rest of the army had a massive failure rate because people couldn't recite their creeds.

What? You just spent your clothing allowance on brand new dress blues because your class As are no longer authorized? And you don't get another clothing allowance for eight months? Doesn't matter, buy this new uniform and new boots.

This is why people use their clothing allowance to get drunk, because you'll probably need to buy poo poo your clothing allowance is for before you even get your clothing allowance for the year.

Sincerely,
someone who typically used his clothing allowance responsibly, but got a counseling statement for having an unkempt military appearance because his boots were scuffed and he used his clothing allowance (plus some of my own not-clothing-allowance money) to buy a new dress uniform before finding out his boots weren't in regulation... or something.

My next clothing allowance after that was spent getting drunk at the casino in St. Louis.

E: The reason I never spent my own money on boots (until I got a loving counseling statement for it) is because I took the advice of a guy who retired in the 90s. He told me not to buy anything unless it is issued to you and it needs to be replaced, and don't spend your own money replacing stuff, that's what your clothing allowance is for.

I always told myself my next clothing allowance would go towards clothes.

It used to be - maybe still is - that there are a lot of Korean women working at CIF.

This is a clue that you should take your TA-50 to the korean-owned cleaner downtown.

They will A) Swap your TA-50 with better looking but worse TA-50 B) not charge you too much for it C) tie it up with a fancy rubber band that tells the nice CIF korean ladies you helped the cause and accept their own lovely patched up TA-50 that looks good because now they have your good TA-50 that sat in a wall locker for 90% of the year

You will be happy, the korean ladies will be happy, the koreans that run the dry cleaner will be happy and Uncle Kim gets his gear back in a serviceable and sanitary condition.

Everyone wins.
