cravius posted:How do you die on a run. Like, I know it happens but how well you see in the army there is this thing called "grinch syndrome." it does a few things to an individual. number 1, it turns them into a jaded piece of poo poo. it usually happens to enlisted right around the time they are going to be promoted to specialist. and number 2, it makes your heart grow three sizes in order to accommodate the army values, hooah? some people are resistant to the grinch syndome. i will let the news tell you about what happens to these people.

what does that mean though? like they won't consider it if they can't get you to 20/20 or something? or do you just risk making your eyes explode more than someone with better vision? or it just won't do anything at all for you?

one of the first classes i took at my school was a microsoft office class and access was one of the portions of it. i didn't even know what access was beforehand but yeah i can definitely see how it would benefit platoons. still a pain in the dick to learn though but that might be because i was ridiculously uninterested at the time.

Nostalgia4Butts posted:im surprised that we're not already at that point. OIF/OEF vets got the gently caress out en masse I'm trying to think who from my platoon during my OEF deployment is still in and I'm only coming up with one E-5 who is now an E-7. Legit one of the best NCOs I had and I'm glad he stayed in so that there's at least one platoon in the army with some decent leadership. Nobody that was e-4 and below from that tour is still in that I can recall off the top of my head.

Best platoon I was ever in was the battalion scouts. We got treated like adults. Things were fun. None of that stupid "let's sit around until 1700 because we have nothing to do but we can't leave yet." Dudes were allowed to bring tents bought at Dick's Sporting Goods to overnight ranges. My PSG even brought a Mac 10. When all of the shooting was done, some dudes took the Humvee for a beer run. Best NCOs I've ever had. Best PL I ever had (he left us the gently caress alone and joined us when he needed to, but left everything up to his NCOs as far as training and range time). I understand a lot of privates need their hands held, but if more platoons were like that one, the army would loving own and I would probably still be in.

Soulex posted:I like this one. I saw it for the first time a long time ago and reminded me of getting saluted as a specialist because that poo poo looks like LTC in some light and you don't know if the person is a lovely specialist or the loving wunderkind 30 year old LTC. When berets were still a thing I saluted a few people because their unit crest was gold and I thought they were majors.

Sniper check lol sirrrrrr when i was in afghanistan i saluted the brigade commander with a gatorade in my salute hand. it was kind of a knee jerk, deer in headlights, "oh poo poo thats a full bird" reaction that privates have. he said "PRIVATE!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING??? IF YOU SALUTE LIKE THAT AGAIN YOU COULD KNOCK YOURSELF OUT!!" Colonel Kandarian seemed like a cool dude to hang out with.

The worst is if you buy a domain. I bought one for a side business I'm starting up and I didn't do the private option and I was getting 5-6 dead air calls every day. If you register a domain and don't want to pay the extra money to register it privately, put someone's phone number that you hate and there's almost nothing they can do about it because the numbers are different every single time.

this is probably the most serious post I will make in this here Army thread. Mustang, enjoy your life dude. Seriously. If you don't enjoy getting the green weenie, then you are on the same path as everyone else. Eventually, your life will crash and burn. It is inevitable. Enjoy the good times, because they will not last unless you enjoy taking the green weenie. I do not know how to train for taking the green weenie. I never was able to enjoy it. But people have found a way. Maybe you should hang out with those people to see what kind of lube they use, or what kind of dirt they might have on their commander. But even that won't last, because commanders come and commanders go, so whatever dirt you have will be out dated in a few years, and you will be back to being bent over. but basically lmao fygm

I didn't mind wearing them around my neck in garrison. A lot of times I would forget, especially when I got put into a leadership position and I was the one doing the inspections. But I didn't really mind playing the gently caress gently caress games about dog tags. On deployment though? Wearing that poo poo around my neck was retarded and served no purpose but to make my gear that much more uncomfortable.
