Some people just don't get the concept of "war stories" (or at least I think that's what you people call sea stories). Yes, it's a blend of real experience, someone else's stories, and alterations to be more entertaining. You just loving enjoy it instead of whining about 100% accuracy like some dumb sperg.

TO BE A BOSS YOU MUST HAVE HONOR! HONOR AND A PENIS!

I've got a new one for yall.

Two weekends ago Usfk went dry for a weekend, GO1 as a stand down to think about all the assholes loving it up.

Apparently since you couldn't buy booze anywhere, and three days was too long to go sober for a comm troop (CST helpdesker), a group of geniuses decided to go robotrippin. Bought 4 bottles of robotussin and Gatorade, proceeded to party.

Well apparently they made it known, so Monday morning word gets back to leadership and everyone rolls over except the one legitimate alcoholic who instigated it. He keeps denying his problem despite many "If you volunteer to go to ADAPT it won't be as bad" warnings. He somehow thought no one has any proof.

So guess what, commanders can apparently pull your purchasing history from DECCA.

He's slated for happy fun Correctional Custody ADAPT at Yongsan now. With typical USFK kneejerking I'm waiting for robotussin to be off limits.

Fly High.

I almost went to mast (did go to XOI) and would have lost rank & had restricted duty for telling a chief to gently caress off under my breath, he didn't even hear it but some hard charging first class did and wrote me up. So ya punishment can and does happen for some of the dumbest poo poo.

I'm not sure if you noticed, but you're actually agreeing with my point: nothing that 50FA has said is any different from what regularly gets posted in here that nobody questions. He's a good writer and puts more detail into stuff, but "I almost got punished for cussing under my breath" isn't a whole lot different from "I almost got punished for ditching my rifle while drowning" or "My buddy DID get punished for losing his NVGs after getting hit by a bomb", which was posted early in this thread. Or the guy who managed to get promoted to E-7 after proving to his buddy that he shouldn't wear his knife on his chest by stabbing him with it, which literally zero people accused of being fake.

I just don't get why he gets accused of making up poo poo when the only thing different from other stories is better writing and longer posts.

Plus it got him out of the house when my mom first started going crazy religious. He'd bring me and my brother and we'd play Mech Warrior 2 and TIE Fighter all night on the computers they has set up.

And you will not find a single Korean market that isn't going to sell you beer or booze regardless of GO 1 being in effect. So, yea, this was just a group of idiots being idiots.

Also, commanders can't pull *what* you bought from the commissary, because the system doesn't track that. It tracks *how much* you spent at the commissary and how much you purchased against your alcohol rations. The system is PIMS-K and anybody with a CAC can log in and use it.

My mom did this poo poo in the navy in Kingsville NAS and it was pretty dope. The pilots hooked me up with cool poo poo.

Even got to play around in one of the A-6 IFR simulators (I think). Probably wasn't even on but it was pretty awesome. :yayclod:

It wasn't on a base, but Otronicon used to have some military simulators on display during their yearly event that guests could use. The AH-64 gunner's position isn't too difficult to get a handle on when it comes to "Shoot this target". Everything else, that's a different story.

Unfortunately, the ghost of Otronicon past is long gone. Now the simulators are mostly commercial flight sims hooked up to unfinished sim cockpits (rarely anything beyond the stick, throttle, and rudder pedals) and a bunch of laptops running a session of VBS 2. Even the virtual shooting range steadily disappeared, going from 8 lanes with M4s and M9s all competing for accuracy (with unauthorized playing around on the simulated battles late at night) to one M4 with 10 rounds to fire to nothing.

A tale of three morons and a 19 year old stripper. It starts with moron #1 who has a favorite stripper. He takes moron #2 to the strip club who meets the stripper and starts dating her. Moron #2 brings the stripper to the holiday party where Moron #3 has brought his 19 year old, drunk ex-girlfriend. Moron #3's underage, drunk ex-girlfriend gets kicked out by the management of the place where the party was held. Morons 2 and 3 live with each other. Stripper starts dating moron 3 while still getting boned by moron 2 on the side. Moron 3 recently married the stripper and currently has orders to Korea.
