An hhc psg's job is to translate the first formation missing half its people into "all present and accounted for" for the 1sg, then turn around and tell all the e6s to find their people, fall out.

This is also true but if you have a moto 1SG, it also means 30 min before formation for meetings, PT with troop by the book (BRING THE BOOK!), fun runs with top, and having PVT Dumbfuck lead PT for leadership training. Also motor pool formation 0830. By the book PMCS. Deadline equipment for 100 level tasks. Police call motor pool and common areas. "The Commander wants us to show more espirit de corps." SGTs time on Thursday with half assed PowerPoint. Ranges that take 2 days because fucks cant aim. Field exercises that focus on coffee rather than experience. And other stuff.

Weird how everytime they let me lead PT, it always went- "Ex-tend to the left- ZONK!" I got away with it twice before the quit letting/making PFC Bulletsponge13 lead the formation.

colachute posted:When I led PT we would do a lap around the barracks and I dunno what happened but nobody ever made it to the end of the run When I did PT at my 3 units, it happened like this. All small HHC type units btw. 1st unit and biggest. - Joined when Black PT caps were ok. New 1SG went from sports PT to "WE ALL GETTIN 400!" Dude never slept. Level 4 combatives who did a lot of classes which was amazing but...he ran 4 miles to PSG meeting, 0530 meeting, PSG formation 15 min prior, lead PT by platoon, top joins random, lower enlisted leads and corrected every loving mistake. PT is over, dude runs back home, drives to the office where he has a loving spin cycle. He would hold meetings on that thing. Then! He was in charge of remedial PT. He would always hold weird motivational speeches that butchered acronyms. Like Double L C instead of WLC. SGTs time and Motor Stables was every monday and thursday. Always all day long. Always full gear, no phones and bullshit classes. 2nd unit, platoon is a squad sized element designed for autonomous functions. Instead of it being chill, someone is affronted and forces platoon to do the same as above, by the book PT, formation before reveille and being in full gear to do SGTs time. We ran a radio station, the gently caress am I gonna be low crawling and doing buddy covers? Could have been relevant to my job but no, that got cut because fat gently caress SSG couldnt handle it. 3rd unit, 5 people. 5. Besides the CPT and SFC. Formed 15 minutes before cannon and flag, by the book with the book pt. By the book PMCS. No sports day because CSM was a fucker who literally hated fun. Parade rest when speaking, constant SGTs time training for military and not MOS. SFC was a former coke dealer (admittedly) who would throw anyone under the bus to get what he wants (admittedly). A 7 in 7 SFC after the surge. By the book when it helped him, but when you show him regs, he flips his poo poo and still you are the one in trouble. IE, trying to chapter me for weight while in the medboard process. Also they eventually went from by the book to that stupid PRX crap or whatever the "throw this medicine ball and jump on it" exercise is. Only because 1SG told PSGs he wanted unit PT and WE WERE THE ONLY loving ONES DOING IT BY THE BOOK! I AM SO GLAD THAT BULLSHIT IS DONE gently caress all that

It's funny, before I joined the army I was in the best shape of my life, and after getting out and doing 3 months of regular exercise where I can do whatever I want to, I'm in even better shape than that (aside from being unable to run or do sit-ups). Weird!

Got my DD214 today. Feels weird and it's been a crazy ride. I'll finally get paid my civilian clothing allowance according to finance so there is that.

bulletsponge13 posted:Civilian clothing allowance? My last assignment was a joint command where our office was not on an official military installation so we were required to where civilian clothes. Of course 3 years there and I never actually got paid the money I was owed. The finance guy I out processed with said it should come in on my last check since I resubmitted the orders directly to him.

My dad had an assignment in the Air Force that required civilian clothing because he was the Air Force liaison with a civilian agency. It was a one-time $900 payment to buy suits with. This was in 1980s dollars. The assignment was in Hawaii, so the civilian clothes everybody wore at the office was slacks and aloha shirts. Dad used the money to fix his car.

Yeah I just wore jeans and $5 dollar thrift store polo shirts to work everyday. Whenever anyone gave me poo poo about I just stated I will when I get the proper allowance to buy new clothes.

Hey Mustang, you hear about this? Soldier died down at the border, and came from my old sister battalion. Glad I'm not in, with my luck they'd have sent me down there to fill sandbags in the desert.
