My wife keeps telling me I’m still young at 28 when I can’t stand fully erect from this back pain for a few minutes after sitting for any length of time. I tell her she’s full of poo poo.

I feel a burst of heart whenever the elevators at work are down for maintenance and I take the stairs.

Played a funeral for a general officer this morning. Horses got spooked by god knows what after they got hooked up. They took off and ended up rolling the (thankfully empty) caisson in full view of the GO's family. It got jammed upside down in the ground and after the funeral was over they were bringing in earth movers to lift it.

Speaking of animals, I may be taking a position in South Korea. Wife is cool with it, not sure about the cats. Anyone ever moved there and took their pets with that knows how it's done? Asking around at work gave me the impression there's veterinarians involved?

I am, in total sincerity, not sure one of my cats would survive a month in isolation. He gets so terrified going to the veterinarian that he just shuts down. Doesn't meow, doesn't move, doesn't move his eyes, if you pick him up it's like he's drunk or asleep. His heart is being a million miles a minute, but he just shuts down. We're already looking at kitty prozac for the flight, but if there's a month isolation period I'm not sure the wife and I could do that to him.

Last I talked to someone going to Korea, the quarantine was minimal/nonexistent as long as you had all of your paperwork in order and all the tests/vaccines done at the correct time. If you don't have all that stuff on hand within the correct timeline, then you're facing an expensive quarantine. I try to make a point of using vaccines and such that are compliant outside of just the USA in case I ever get a surprise PCS overseas.

Most quarantines where they physically quarantine the animal occur when you arrive with a pet that doesn't have the proper paperwork. Generally speaking, there is a process and a number of vaccinations that must be given with records X amount of days out. This occurs with any place that does not have rabies or other pet carried diseases.

My POV has been inspected, I've signed my safety or whatever counseling form, my personal data is on multiple trackers, rosters and data forms. I, a grown rear end 30 year old man, am now certified safe. Nothing can happen to me during this weekend snow storm. Don't known what I would do or how I would survive without the Army's innovative leadership techniques.

My office deputy (O3) somehow ETS'ed without getting his award, final OER, or doing most outprocessing. Big Army is very mad at him right now apparently.

What can they even do to him if he's already gone? I didn't get an ETS award. I know they were writing one up, because my squad leader called me in so he could ask me what he could use as bullet points. I didn't really know what to tell him, I spent pretty much my entire time at that base being useless. Not being able to even pull staff duty useless.

I don't even know but we're getting increasingly desperate, higher ranking people calling. Last week it was an SGT from Ft. Myers (where his unit actually is), this week it was the battalion S1.

I took a unit and found that two commands prior, the commander ETS’d without signing over an entire building full of materiel, and the commander I was taking over from never fixed it. Fun trying to explain why the person supposedly signed for it cant be there to defend missing items because they ETS’d 2 years ago.

I didn’t get an award or a final OER either, but I was effectively attached to a different unit while deployed. My supervisor there sent comments for an OER to our brigade surgeon...who ignored them and PCS’d almost as soon as we got home. Never so much as got a deployment award either, but that unit was so full of shitbirds that were too busy hazing their subordinates (PVT Danny Chen was in one of our battalions) to care about any of that paperwork.

While I'm not personally surprised at any of this not happening, it's apparently impossible according to the exasperated people that have since called. Maybe it's because the senior rater is an SES? The gently caress if I know, me and the other vet (a desert storm era colonel that retired after kosovo) are having a big laugh at it. edit: the other vet took the call when the S1 called. His answer that I overheard was "then you need to go figure out who cut him his 214 because he's a free man on vacation in Morocco right now" Vasudus fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Feb 8, 2019 |

Every wall of his office was covered with framed awards, citations, etc. Most of the people working there didn't know what anything meant so I guess it looked impressive to them. However a few of us with prior service knew most of it was just stupid bullshit. Off the top of my head I think he had something like three good conduct medals and his "diploma" from Airborne School hanging behind his desk.
