Yeah, nah. I called someone out for being racist and had someone try to dox me, to which the mod at the time said "yeah, well, don't call it out, you're pretty left" like that was an excuse.

Bonus points: it wasn't even infidelity. The colonel's into wifesharing.

The senior chief of my c schools (and well known in the community, as it was small) was a well known wife swapper/legit cuck. Stories were everywhere of him watching junior enlisted rail his wife while he beat off in a corner.

Dude was super creepy, vaguely religious. Wife spent so much of his money he had a side career at HD that was almost as long as his naval career.

Holy poo poo my favorite part of being a Shirt is trying to piss off spouses that are calling to get my member in trouble. If they call with a valid issue I'm all over helping but the second they sound vindictive and want my guy in trouble I shut down and go into passive aggressive mode. Even better if I can get them trying to call the Wing and complain.....

Its even better when the spouse brings a guest on base who happens to be a Hells Angel, wearing colors, and the guard let's them on. Then our compound gate guard lets them in because, and i quote, "dude was a loving hells angel."

They then go to the quarterdeck, where a very nice but very dumb 2nd class lets the CO know that a spouse and her guest are waiting outside his office for their meeting. (Prior to this she had been calling the QD for weeks, and most watchstanders hung up on her. Unless the CDO was a true cock of a chief, at which point you forward the call to their duty cell every single time.)

Cue every masterchief (we had 4, including CMC) at the command showing up on the QD, followed by MAC in a loving plate vest and M4 to "question" them.

Nothing happened to either watchstander, and im not even sure if they reported it to base security.

Yeah, my desks at various jobs have been messes but when I clean it up I can’t find a goddamn thing. When it’s just wherever I always remember what I was doing the last time I had it and can find it in a snap. I usually remember stuff by associations, too, so I can put together weird connections in a snap but trying to sit down and memorize is a bad time.

Same. I can give you a sheet of paper from 3 months ago in a stack of nothing but oddball papers, but God help you if i clean and organize everything. You'll be waiting hours.

Or rather forever because I will give up entirely, until my desk goes back to its natural state.

That whole parking lot is full of scum. Ever go around back of that WM? Big signs telling people not to, but it's too much trouble to take a few turns at 5mph. I've run a stack of product off the trailer and found some rear end in a top hat in a car literally at the bottom of my ramp. You watched me go backwards down this ramp-door with 150lbs of product, coming straight at you. gently caress you, then. I have eight stacks of this poo poo and I'm going to leave them right in front of your car. No, don't back up or anything. Honk at me, that'll do something!

Nope, but I was at Sonic the day a truck caught fire back there. That place is a cesspit, but it's somehow the nicest one around still. The CFA is the only major ballache in that whole complex.

Not an ND, but last shoot I went to before I got out of the navy we were dicking around like 60yds from the firing line playing spades.

Suddenly hear a round hit the box truck to our side closer to the line, and then the van window 6" to the right of a guys head shatters. Some dink on the line shot low enough to hit a rock, which ricocheted back and somehow didn't kill anyone.

In the almost four years since I got out (jfc), my wife has worked in salons with 3 separate women that specifically sought out military to try and get hitched.

Yeah. Going from a port in Italy to the middle of the med was amazing to see how fast water quality changed.

That may have something to do with them dumping poo poo barges straight back into the water. Or bringing barges meant for a submarine or possibly a small raft out to a carrier and then not wanting to swap it out, and then someone sinks said poo poo barge because they fell asleep on the sponson and didn't notice anything until the line snapped off the header and sprayed them with poo poo.

FrozenVent posted:

I’ve seen lots of girders and floor but never a bulkhead to limit sloshing.

A few of the CHT tanks on the carrier had bulkheads in them with manhole sized openings, iirc. I think the midship port side ballast tanks did as well, trying to remember that long ago is a bitch now.

So, anybody else ever heard of a guy getting two DUI's in one night before?

Not two DUIs, but had a guy get two hit and runs which resulted in a DUI. Hit a car out in town, somehow got back on base, smashed another car in the parking lot, then got on the ship and went to sleep like nothing happened.

MAs came and drug his rear end off the ship and ended up getting bounced for missing ships movement.

Also had a guy get popped after walking onto base with no ID, took off running when MA told him to stop, then hid in a bush until he thought he was clear, went and got hammered at the bowling alley, got spotted by patrol car. When they turned the lights on he attacked the car.

He had been off restriction for ~3 weeks, from his previous incident of...attacking a patrol car.

My company had a platoon sergeant whose paperwork was so bad that they thought he had a severe undiagnosed TBI and ordered him to get evaluated at the TBI clinic. Turns out no TBI, and the only thing he would ever say about it was "no child left behind hooah". Was an ASVAB waiver so I guess it checks out.

Had a guy in MEPS that got signed up, passed the ASVAB to some degree and as we were getting our travel packets for basic, the MEPS guy found out he only spoke a dozen words of English, so they just changed his orders to some place that gives you a crash course in English. I don't know how he passed, he mustve just absolutely crushed the math portion.

We had a kid in basic who somehow knew enough English to pass the asvab, and got through p days alright, then made it 2 days in actual basic before getting sent to ESL classes. He was Chinese American, born in the states, but spoke literally zero english.

There were a lot of urban legends made by idiots floating around that the aquaflage would release orange dye in Salt water.

The Navy type III's they wear now are just regular digital camo.

95% of all shipboard work in the Navy is done in coveralls anyways.

The blue digis loving sucked. I swear to God that was the worst uniform and the boots they wanted to be worn with them literally destroyed your loving feet. I had a pair of the flight deck toe cap boots that got worn any time it wasn't a uniform inspection and got yelled at constantly. The smelter boots were baller af though.

The type 3s weren't too bad and at least you could get some mall ranger tactical boots that were comfy as hell without getting screamed at.

Dress whites were comfortable and people loved them but holy poo poo they were basically one time use items. Blues are baller but holy loving uncomfortable batman. Plus having to get them altered to where you could take a piss without undoing 13 buttons.

Work pajamas aka coveralls were the goat. Go to the thrift store, find a pair about 2 sizes up, wash till they feel like cotton sheets.

Similar story in Grafenwoehr. During an observer controller rotation there was a guy who came into the sleeping tent drunk and pissed all over another OC. This is probably the third or fourth piss story in this thread, it just keeps happening!

Woke up on the ship, in home port, to the sound of someone squealing in pain and loud thumps. Rolled out of my bunk, look over to the other side of the berthing to see a very wet first class beating the absolute poo poo out of a new (like, first week onboard) DC fireman.

Said fireman was taken out drinking with his shop at someone's house, since he was barely 19. He came back to the ship, got lost trying to find the head and came into our berthing and proceeded to piss all over the guy. He was still peeing while he was getting rocked.

Dude was admin separated a week later.

Similar: on deployment, pierside in Turkey. One of our new firemen came back absolutely shithoused, woke up needing to puke, rolls out of his rack and immediately starts projectile vomiting. Covers his mouth with his hand, and directs the stream straight onto a 2nd class in the middle rack. He woke up, realized dude was way bigger than him, so grabbed someone's boot off the floor and brained him with it. No one reported it so no issues.
