They tried it at Benning but there's too many locals that come on to base that just told the dudes in uniform to gently caress off.

I remember one sergeant who had just over a year left on his contract, was thinking of reupping, and came down on orders to Polk. He then made a dec statement, and told the reenlistment NCO to eat a dick. I've never been but that reaction was enough for me.

I had a real turd of a first sergeant for a while and he convinced the CO to stick it to a dude for drat near the exact situation(got some Vicodin for a thrown out back while on leave). Thankfully Joe had been around the block once or twice and when they called him in he just said "JAG".

Once they got involved nothing got heard about it again because it was loving stupid.

Just assume anything that has grunt, an MOS of any kind, or any other military marketing buzzword in it is just trash poo poo for trash people.

Yeah sure there might be an exception but I'm not wasting my time searching through the dung pile for a golden needle that may not even exist.

Being a forced reclass to a scout and not knowing a thing about any of their garbage, my response to their saying I need to get some tanker knockoff boots and a dumb hat and some other poo poo totalling up like nearly a grand was "ha! Are you out of your loving mind" did not make for an easy transition.

Also asking the question "what the gently caress is fiddler's green" I might as well have hosed myself in the rear end with a crucifix.

To be honest I still don't know if it's army thing or a scout thing but fiddler's green sounds like a child molesters golf course.

There's these odd looking boots with straps that are similar to a tanker boot but there's 2 or 3 straps and are a calf length boot. I dunno, I didnt buy that garbage. They were at least 150 by themselves. Then they wanted me to buy a a loving 400 dollar hat. Theres a few different types around but there were people who bought that expensive poo poo. And then unit PTs. And the ASU flair. And because of the push for 100% spur ride garbage good luck having a sponsor pay for it.

Screw buying that poo poo, I was dumb enough to do a Manchu mile so screw that spur ride poo poo too.

I'd like to point at that dude who's gonna have a 3 week hangover is pretty pro. No clothes to destroy with poo poo piss or vomit, keeping cool thanks to the tub, and on his side so he doesn't​ choke on his own vomit. The only problem is he forgot to take the plug out

Assuming he lives to end of the year he'll go far.

Then got smoked because I didn't know what it was.

Then never wore it, because people who wore them all looked like boners.

I could deal with army PT just being a waste of time. Nearly everything else in the army is so why not keep it consistent.

But nope, that poo poo will gently caress you up, and the army as whole has known forever, and there's poo poo published on DTIC since the 80s that says drat near everything is loving stupid.

Get out as soon as possible. Every day you risk some mongoloid running you over in a humvee, your back or knees that you thought were fine giving out, basically the million ways that the military can grind you up because of all the stupid people.

Some CSM somewhere would smell you out by the lack of misery and then crawl up his commander's rear end about poo poo like discipline and combat readiness and there you are at formations at 4 in the morning.

I'm not saying it'd bite you tomorrow, but as time goes on the chances of getting that army dong approaches certainty.
