GI bill for officers requires 3 years service in addition to whatever your initial was.

Only if you were ROTC or West Point. If you went the Basic->OCS pipeline, you can get that sweet GI Bill after a single tour :getin:

I liked my M9. And Psydude it sounds like someone knocked the rear sight of yours with a hammer.

He'd be lucky if that's all that was wrong with it. My company brought all our M9s to the range one day, only to find out that only 2 of them were actually functional. We got to rotate through qualifying with those two until everyone was done that needed it, except the sights weren't zeroed so it was more guesswork than anything else :gonk:

The VA already managed to fumblefuck my buddy's grave entry, who was buried today. I hope his tombstone is accurate, because going through their online grave locator says he was in the Persian Gulf war :smith:

My old unit left a fully armed and running Stryker completely unattended at NTC :laffo: If you haven't been following 1/25's escapades at NTC for the last few weeks, you've missed out on some quality army.txt experiences. It's been all over USAWTF Moments on facebook, and is well-worth looking at to remind yourself of what a DD-214 shields you from.

I went to NTC with these guys. Can confirm they are a bunch of retards who sent two specialists to man the entirety of their Public Affairs program. No officers either.

When we deployed in 2011, the PAO we had got entirely too excited about the goats chained up to the front gate and reminded me of a cross between Family Guy's old perv and the "have you seen my stapler?" guy from office space. He also ran a Facebook page for a stray cat on our fob. Weird dude, would not trust around children ever.

USARAK saved my rear end when I went to NTC with them. I would have been very much hosed if that Captain hadn't come and helped me.

I don't remember. He got sent home for one reason or another, though.

Not only that, the signal that tells your muscles to relax everywhere gets shut down! It's a similar mechanism to tetanus toxin, but instead of taking ~2-3 weeks to fully kick in and kill you it only takes a few minutes. Everything clenches, nothing relaxes, brain starts firing randomly, etc. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are a fun way to go, alright :stonklol:

His kid got taken care of, Army couldn't totally fix his hosed up back, but he was medically chaptered in way better health than he showed up in with a healthy kid.

This was my brigade https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_of_Danny_Chen

Glad I ETS'd before that deployment.

I was on the same flight as him to Afghanistan (I was actually the chalk commander :smith: ). One of the soldiers testifying in that court martial was one of mine at the Warrior Recovery Center on KAF, who certain shitheads tried to retaliate against by yanking that soldier from a medevac flight to Landstuhl and putting him back on a flight to his fob sans weapon, armor, helmet, or even camo clothes. I dropped a line to IG and the rage I got from them afterwards indicated that IG put its boot in someone's rear end and wore them like a shoe for a short while.

Do GOs still tell LTs that being a PL is the best part of the entire Army?

That was always a depressing pep-talk.

This was the start of my downward spiral in the army. Everyone at OCS blew smoke up our collective asses about how that was the best job in the Army, then I get sent to Wainwright to be in charge of the rejects getting chaptered or discharged for whatever stupid reason. Calls about them getting in trouble, updates on their court martials (one for child porn!), arrested because they were beating their wives, stealing credit cards or driving drunk, going AWOL to Canada in uniform with all their gear, or deciding to pop hot on a drug screen were the norm. I was still expected to produce training plans and provide soldiers for details, despite most of them being on essentially dead-man profiles or gigantic shitbags. gently caress doing that ever again, gently caress the army, smdftb if you're still in.
