That was at Hongdae too which was a fun place...now it's either banned or "highly discouraged" - can't remember. They also implemented a rule where your BAC can't be .05 within 4 hours of an alert. Very difficult to enforce though.

Those dumb motherfuckers at Suwon tried some breathalyzer poo poo like that once or twice the last few months I was there, too. The hilarious part was when the BC and BN CSM suddenly have a lightbulb moment and try to figure out where the breathalyzers actually are, if we have any. The whole thing looks like some retarded comedy when the BC looks at the HHB 1SG, 1SG looks at our (medic's) PSG, and he turns to me. Because apparently the PFC, that hasn't been in the E5 slot running the BAS supply room in 6 months, should keep track of this poo poo. I looked at them like they were all retards and gave the prototypical private look, shrugged, and waited for the cocksmugglers to release us so I could go pass out and sleep off my hangover.

In anticipation of the GO1 that started this past weekend, my CO decided to enact a CO1 a week in advance. Is that even a thing? Commanders Order #1? Speaking of which, anyone else bothered by how much OPSEC violation is present in Kakao talk? If someone tapped into that, they'd figure out what everyone in USFK is up to. Orders, movements, ops details, etc. I get all of my instructions from my chain of command via Kakao.. it was even a recommended download in my newcomers briefing.

I've never heard of it being called a commander's order before, but it's very common for commanders to issue policy letters or memorandums with standing orders and instructions.

I can see them spinning a tale of bullshit about "On duty 24/7, we might have an alert any time so you can't be in that position at any time. Please note this only applies to lower enlisted and people I don't like. Everyone with rank can ignore this."

When I was in Korea we got off work and a few guys went out and started drinking. We got recalled (not put on alert) and he got busted down from e5 to e4 for drunk on duty. I got there as he was doing his extra duty so I don't know if there was anything else that caused his art15, but p hosed up if true.

That sounds pretty spot on for Korea. You can do anything you want if you got rank, and loving people over for no reason than to give yourself a boner is the national sport. And IG will still gently caress up your chain, but if you call them up, your name is poo poo over the whole post as a fuckin' narc. gently caress that poo poo hole. Would still go back to Yongsan in a heart beat though, fuckers know how to play the army game like a boss.

We had a BN alert because our BC want us to do company alerts. There's too many variables involved (dudes off post, at the gym) for us to get a "good time". When I first got here, the new BDE commander just came in so we had like 2 alerts in a week. Not exaggerating.

I question the Kakaotalk thing all the time. I'm a DA civilian now but I see the soldiers in the unit receiving all of their instructions from their NCOs through Kakaotalk. Apparently their NCOs went as far as to say that if a soldier removes himself from the group, it is grounds for an Article 15. I would not doubt that the Korean intelligence community has access to Kakaotalk much in the same way that three letter agencies in the US are tapped into everything. I'd say it boggles the mind, but that's the Army!

Some dickhead from the natty guard unit I was attached to on my last deployment sent his wife the complete roster of the squadron right before we redeployed. It contained everyone's full name, social, and the dates and times of their flights out of Iraq. The wife posted this roster to facebook.

literally my favorite opsec moment is our brigade making sure that no one should the beans on where we were going on my first deployment. cue my jaded top on his first phone call from Kuwait to his wife, "yeah. fuckin' baqubah again. have more poo poo heads this time than last time. send more of the good stuff." the only people who subsist on coffee, anger, and booze are god's senior enlisted

I would get pissed at gunnery because I didnt have my charger with me, so I kept emphasizing that we use the BFTs and radios...I got yelled at because my phone died. Oh well, gently caress all of those systems we busted our rear end to get FMC.

That was the first of three times I ended up getting an e-mail from the Adjutant General's office saying "your social may have been publicly released by us but it's not our fault, you may want to look into getting LifeLock or something."

Why IS your social used on every-loving-thing? What happened to Name, Rank and Serial Number? My grandpa can still tell me his number from when he was in but somewhere along the way it was decided I should have financially compromising information on my duffle bag, helmet and every piece of paper I'm ever within ten feet of so some dumbshit or his wife can put it on facebook.

It still amazes me that I am now a fat, unshaven civilian going to school and I have more deployed time than that tremendous sack of poo poo. I also guarantee by the time he finally did worm his way out of TRADOC to get a deployment in he had enough rank to get an actual bed every night and a 9-5 schedule that he probably still cut out of early.

Guard has a shitload of long in the tooth O-2s since most of us picked up back when it was 18 months TIS for first promotion. Active side speaking, but O-3 should take longer to pick up. These three year captains (some, not all) are pretty retarded. Part of it is because loving West Point TIS starts as soon as they graduate. You've got dudes showing up to units getting promoted to 1LT after two months. So if you've got a TRADOC warrior, he'll show up to the unit, pin on 1LT, and then a year later put on O-3. It was loving stupid. I was a 2LT in my unit for a full year before I got O-2. Ashmole fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Aug 20, 2014 |
