I had a weird run, but saw a series of three chaplain's assistants get the boot, including a court-martial, for being a general failure at life, creeping on women at work nonstop, and banging his child bride in a way that his church was OK with, but the army was not.

Our brigade chaplain and assistant were both pretty solid. The chaplain is who I talked to when I was thinking of eating a bullet, and he did everything right/by the book and got me somewhere to get some help :unsmith:

You used to be able to just skip through most of the content for SSD 1. I made a bit of money by doing it for people.

Wasn't it something like taking the url and putting '.certificate' or whatever the final web page is, and putting the person's name just before that?

It's going to be nice to go on a family vacation and not have to provide a detailed itenerary and give an interview beforehand (once I get out). Sheesh.

The last vacation I went on was international, to get on a boat for a week and go scuba diving. I can only imagine the kind of paperwork hell that would require, only to get shot down and have a vacation fully ruined because of some dumbass chucklefuck that can't stand the thought of soldiers actually enjoying themselves in fun places while on leave.

so who was found at fault

The only part of that equation that is under anyone's control: the soldier.

I have taken that class. You will not use any of the information from it. It will just cause your leadership to ask you why it isn't working and you won't know because it's almost always a connection issue or something only S6 can fix.

I took the same class. Everyone that took it ended up getting sent away from the line units, so nobody that actually took the class ended up in a position to use that “training” and nobody actually using the system had been trained on it. USARAK (at least 1/25) had to be one of the most comically mismanaged major commands in the army.

I never even saw m50s except at the school house when they were xm50s. M40 most certainly were not though.

I had to argue with a retarded 1sg that they were lot numbers and he wouldnt believe me even though like 40 of my masks had the SAME number but he thought that was some trick I was trying to pull over on him??

I’m surprised he could even read, given how stupid you have to be to re-enlist multiple times

History lesson. The O-clubs used to have a sign that said "Officer's only and enlisted females".

Every now and again, I find a new something to hate about the army. Thanks, spacetoaster!

Make friends with supply first, and the armorer second. Everyone else is more or less optional.

Cut it out of the Sgt Majors chest and weigh it on a scale against a feather Anubis style?

Anubis would skip the scale part, SNCO’s are all pre-judged and left to rot in hell (where people walk on the grass with their hands in their pockets).

The Northeastern part of Yakima training center is fun as hell to VC a stryker through. Tons of trails through rolling hills.

Strykers are actually pretty fun to VC anywhere, except for when it's cold as balls outside and raining or snowing. Or it's really dry and you get plastered with dust.

It can be kind of sketchy at night though when you can't see poo poo.

Being a VC for a Stryker in a winter gunnery (late March-ish, I think?) in AK was one of my least-favorite army experiences.
