I have never, not even once, stepped foot in the vet lounge. I don't even actually know where it is.

TBH depending on the people they're not that bad. Ours is mostly a bunch of older non-traditional students who happen to be veterans. Free coffee, nice couches and Netflix going all the time. Also I don't have to sit around listening to 18 year olds talking about vapid bullshit between classes.

Yeah. Mine isn't bad because it's a more liberal college but still, there's mostly navy dudes anyways and that's like speaking French.

I got one of my Joe's hired at my job and somehow we ended up talking about our terrible African adventure, and poo poo all over the Navy dudes we had to work with.

Forgot one of our co-workers was a sailor, and one of those kind of pathetic guys who thinks he's the same dude from 20 years ago. He left the office today without saying a word.

I thought the normal response to someone talking poo poo about your branch of service / unit / MOS was to tell even worse stories so they know how deep the hosed up rabbit hole actually goes. :confused:

Pretty much same. There is always a more hosed up story. I thought my 1/25 rotation was bad at NTC until I saw this one on ArmyWTF.

Has everyone done their yearly "gently caress the Army" training on JKO? If not, I need your certs by COB today.

Yes, it's a Saturday, but you're a soldier 24/7.

I'm the awkward silence when a unit turns in 100% of their certs, but an audit of the online training shows literally one person did it.

Spending the majority of the next 2 months in Yakima is really lame. All my lifting gains.... I'm going to be so weak when I can start lifting again. Then a month after that I get to go back out to Yakima again for 3 weeks.

Probably possible during gunnery but I doubt I'll have the time to during PLT and CO force on force/live fire.

Can definitely do some squats, overhead presses and curls with a tow bar though. Most annoying thing would be strapping it back onto the stryker and doing the loop things so it looks all neat and squared away because this is the Army and if it's not all dress right dress I should go kill myself

Best way to keep your gains is to gtfo. Also gently caress Yakima, loving moon dust.

15 years out as of today. gently caress you Army.

The army don't want you strong. They want you skinny and to run fast. Nothing else matters.

The only gains the Army cares about is heart. It's heart that gets you that perfect PT score, nothing else.

I broke a TRX strap once. That stupid samurai exercise.

That poo poo will break you the gently caress off though. Especially that old rear end Chinese dude who gives TRX classes on mainfort. Near the I Corps HQ. not the big gym. The small one. Wilson I think.

Dude is 60 something and will dominate that poo poo.
