I got issued NODs for every field exercise I went on. My ACH didn't have the mount for them. Supply would not give me a mount. I just put them in my canteen pouch on my armor and never took them out unless I was making a trip to the portajohns in the middle of the night.

Kaliber posted:I'm getting ready to put in a compassionate reassignment to go back to Hawaii due to my meth head sister in law having all her kids taken away by CWS last year and about to get her parental rights terminated because she keeps going back to jail. They're about to be placed permanently with a family so my wife and I are trying to go back and take custody of them. Watch me end up in Korea or something. I did a compassionate reassignment two years ago to be closer to my terminal cancer afflicted dad. I'll get some more info together when I get home, but basically I had a memo, letters from his doctors, a letter from my chaplain, and whatever the DA form for the request was. IIRC, branch doesn't handle it--I called mine and he told me it was done by "compassionate reassignment branch" instead.

Vahakyla posted:Having notes in formation is "unprofessional." The word "unprofessional" is one of my favorite Army-isms. Putting your hands in your pocket? Unprofessional! Put them down your pants, instead. Wearing an assault pack in formation when nobody else is? Unprofessional! Carry it in your left hand, instead. Someone in formation forgot their wet-weather top? You better take yours off so we can all look profesional (in our mismatched uniforms).

There's a former Marine in my old company who got medboarded out of the Marines, joined the Army to renew his clearance, and now he's getting medboarded out of the Army.

It's more just a case of TRADOC sucking and IET students thinking the rest of the army will be the same, so they want to get away from it as fast as possible. At least, that's how I was.

My first exposure to AIRBORNE! was in 35T AIT. A pair of tabbed E-6s were walking through the schoolhouse halls one day and stopped my class. They asked if any of us were considering going AIRBORNE!, and when none of us said we were, the saltier looking one said, "Good. Only loving idiots do it. Don't be like us."

Carteret posted:Holy gently caress I remember when your rear end was posting from AIT I was digging through my PMs a while back and read some stuff I had sent to people who offered to answer dumb "I'm thinking about joining the army!" questions. My entire military career can probably be tracked on these forums. Also, I was given a whole 4 days to clear my unit and post, so we'll see if I can actually manage it in that time or if I'll sign out on leave and still be clearing.

CIF turn-in took a whole 10 minutes. Nothing kicked back. I tossed some extra barracks bags, knee pads, and a grenade pouch into the extras bin as a sacrifice to thank the dark gods for it going so smoothly or to help some poor schmuck who is missing one of those items in the future.

Guys im putting my uniform on tomorrow. To do yard work. Just the pants and boots, though. Going to stain the poo poo out of them with mulch and dirt and grass then probably throw them away. Never having to wear a uniform again feels good.

It's fortunate that her favorite color is green. Also, those things are great and tucking is lame. I don't know if my pants weren't long enough or what, but they'd always come unturned from my boots after moving around for a while. My cat loves those drat bands. Always stealing them. Last time we moved, I found his stash under a bookshelf and there were 7 of them all chewed up and worthless.
