This reminds me that I saw a guy spend over 7 months in limbo after finishing AIT because some dentist hosed up his medical records.

We have a limit of 16 hours of continuous absence from EMT side before you are recycled. We had a female recycle today because they took all of her wisdom teeth out two days ago, then basically forcibly medicated the gently caress out of her, and she had to lay on the floor of the Multi-Purpose Room Of the company (because we don't do quarters in this company). She had no option to have them pulled on a friday, or on separate days or anything. Just "gently caress you lol". It's pretty amazing.

I'm in charge of putting people places and can assure you that we bring in one of those party ticket machines, with names in it, up to the 4 star's office and full bird colonels grab whatever they can for their brigades.

I don't know why. They just kind drag you with the unit to class room, or sometimes to day room. There are no ways to stay in your room to sleep if you need it. You'll still get into the van to go eat, stand at formation at 0330, and wait outside for everyone to be done, then get into the van to go back to company, then sit at a chair at the day room and wait for the nextdfac formation. It doesn't matter what kind of fever or sickness you have. And if it lasts more than 16 hours consecutive, it's prob recycle time anyway. I spent my first "quarters" after spending night awake at the hospital, marching to CIF and doing stupid poo poo in this weird stupor and then then the next night had two hour ACG, then stood couople hours at the formation from 0330 until breakfast, then went to class. Our senior PSG just told me that "we don't so quarters here". Then a month later I spent my dental surgery/narcotics "quarters" sleeping in class room floor at the EMT training building. Others have had the same stuff. We have weekly someone all hosed up on narcotics after dental appointments bleeding onto their desk and sleeping on their chair and not functioning at the EMT lessons, and get yelled at for sleeping and buddy walked to latrine and back frequently becausr they can't stand themselves.

I must have the dumbest luck in the Army because my time in so far has been mostly pretty painless. The PL I replaced had a horrible handover with the guy he replaced so he went out of his way to make it as easy as possible for me. One day I was told I was heading to a platoon and to starting doing layouts immediately and when I show up he already has a working property book with shortage annexes and TMs and poo poo for me. I was able to do property for an entire stryker scout platoon in about 3 hours, not counting the time it took for the guys to lay it all out. My commander is probably the best in the unit and offers constructive criticism and teaches you instead of crushing your balls when you make a mistake. I actually worked for him for a few weeks in S3 when I first showed up before he went and took command which is what landed me this platoon in the first place.

Benning is also a TRADOC post and I can't imagine any of that poo poo happening there. If you were sick/hurt you weren't hosed with at all. If you missed 8 hours of training you were recycled however I never actually saw that enforced. I hated being at Benning but mostly because Columbus was a poo poo heap of a city and should be burned to the ground and erased from the Earth.

Hey new AIT dude. I don't know for sure, but I am pretty sure there is some regulation protecting you. I understand it is commanders discretion but that is super hosed up and I'd tell people about this. That is inherently NOT normal.

This might be some sort of bullshit non-thing but when we were waiting for orders at RASP hold I kid you not we were able to game poo poo to get what we wanted. On HRC's site, there is some tab where you can somehow see like pending orders or some poo poo or orders that haven't gone through yet. I saw on there it said Fort Richardson, and I really didn't want to be stationed at the rear end end of civilization no matter how pretty it is up there. There was some lady's number we all passed around who worked at HRC (no idea who found it, or how), I still have her in my contacts for whatever reason, but I no poo poo called her up and talked to her and got it switched to Fort Bragg. The next day, I looked at the pending tab, and it had switched to Fort Bragg. Believe it or not, but it is true. It's some sort of PNN tall tale that I swear is a real thing that we did. SOMEWHERE there exists real people who can switch things like that around, it's not some sort of 100% pure needs of the army algorithm.

Protip: Call your branch manager. They can usually help you out. Especially if you are in a smaller MOS. For the longest time the guys in my MOS all knew the branch manager, all we had to do was call him up and he would fix your orders.

Bragg is actually in a pretty sweet spot, its an hour south of the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill triangle, a couple hours from the beach, and a few hours from the Blue Ridge mountains and Asheville. Not a bad deal if you like to travel on the weekends.

I was born on Bragg and later lived there again while growing up and was determined to never live there again. My dad was SF and his opinion of the 82nd also kind of influenced my own.

I've noticed this thing where a lot of former military have this idea that places near military bases are nice. "Colorado Springs is nice! Fayetteville is nice! Jacksonville is nice!" None of the above is true. gently caress military towns.
