Heh, every time she is shuttled in a helicopter the pilots notice a gain in fuel consumption and the cheif has to get her weight for load balance.

I'm guessing she's a CW4 and not a 1LT based on age and girth.

Apparently the dude was denied emergency leave to go to his mother's funeral and that's what set him off. Not justifying the shooting but wouldn't a red cross letter like that pretty much demand emergency leave be granted, what's so important that a dude can't go home on a red cross call? Seems like if that is true then the motive is really clear and the army continues to be gay as ever. Even the shittastic units of the 82d will be building your leave packet the instant they get a call, something tells me that there has to be more to the story because that seems a bit too Big Green Weenie to be true.

Justin Tyme posted:too Big Green Weenie to be true. What We were in the field and I let one of my dudes use my phone since his wife was like a week before popping out a baby and he wanted to check on her. Turns out she was bleeding everywhere out of her vag and was on her way to the ER. I went and talked to the PSG about it. "You know you're not supposed to have phones in the field right?" I got counseled and he was told he had to come back the next morning after p much begging to let him go see her. Cole fucked around with this message at 08:08 on Apr 5, 2014 |

Cole posted:What I don't even.  The worst that happened to me was my old 1SG trying to send me to Iraq early after I had appendix surgery. Literally the day I get released he says "Get your poo poo packed, cause you're leaving." Apparently, he thought I was faking it despite having been taken to and released from an Army Hospital and fresh sutures on my stomach. Then recently, I had leg surgery, my commander calls me back in to work during my con leave. Apparently, this can happen. My doctor was incredulous about the whole situation. Army does not give a gently caress about your health.

The media narrative will write itself, and it won't be pretty. Of course I also know what the reality will be that never shows up in the media. Someone of high rank will print some words and tell everyone else to do that, someone of middle rank will be a sacrificial goat thrown to the media wolves to get hosed up for life and everybody of low rank will get locked down, power pointed at for a few days and told in no uncertain terms that if any of them try the same thing everyone will be watching for it and gently caress their world up six ways from Sunday right from the start.

My current run in with medical has been going on since about August, but my unit has been super chill about it. I think the TBI clinic actually called them up and spelled out the situation for them, and they don't hassle me about poo poo. However, in Korea, that was a completely different story. Broke both bones in my forearm, hosed up my wrist after getting voluntold for something by the battalion commander. That same fucker wanted as many vehicles as he could possibly squeeze into a gunnery to make his dick hard or something, so he told my commander and first sergeant that I was driving a tank. Despite that I couldn't pass the gunnery skills test with one arm, and I was a major safety problem. And forget about how I'd have to steer a tank with one arm. Fortunately the Ortho doc that I went to see in Yongsan, a full bird colonel, told me straight up that 2-9 loves to abuse their soldiers, and he gave me a card with his cell phone number on it. I let first sergeant know I was gonna give him a call, and he was all for it. That first sergeant owned bones. I think it took all of 2 hours, and I got word that I was gonna be in headquarters platoon for gunnery, doing support and not driving. gently caress 2-9, gently caress Korea, docs who actually give a poo poo and know the right people loving rule.

By the way don't bring your phone to the field, we all know its so you can keep up with Grindr." Or your soldier's wife should be set up to use the right mechanism to communicate in an emergency.

I had a goiter and lost 30lbs in 30 days. Post Medics said I was malingering. It took going to Yongsan and discovering I had a loving Heart Arrhythmia for them to send me to Tripler and get my thyroid out. From getting sick to getting treatment it only took them 6 loving months. gently caress the Army, gently caress 8th Army.

Not US Army, but I broke my hand and wrist in three places and was told to get back to work for a month before someone realized it was more than a sprain. The medics also put a left-hand brace on my right hand.

Their job has nothing to do with soldier skills or training anymore, and pretty much is exclusively about making sure uniforms look good, the grass is cut, and ceremonies maintain a proper level of military stupidity.
