What the gently caress... Anyone know about what the gently caress to do if you get married in Hawaii 2 months before you PCS and the Army won't let you command sponsor your spouse cause it's less than 90 days out from PCS and they won't amend your orders to include her so you get the her flight paid for, and HHG, TLA, and DLA at the married rate?


Looked up the reg and it states Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and other states are excluded from having to command sponsorship dependents who are bona fide from the states but Schofield's MPD refuses to put her on without a command sponsor. Am I hosed and going to have to pay for this move out of pocket because I didn't ask the army for permission for my local wife to live here?

I know this is late, but don't trust MPD to be right about anything. I had a similar issue here in Europe. Not even the department head knew what he was talking about. I and some old retiree from a different department--surprise surprise, the only guy who bothered to have a copy of the reg on hand--had to educate the MPD director on what should have been a basic function of his job. If your situation isn't cookie-cutter perfect, they really don't know what the gently caress to do and will just try to deny you out of hand.

I applied for and got company command. I don't want it; the only reason I applied is because the other two applicants are incompetent and I don't want my soldiers to suffer through that. I take command next week. I guess my first action will be to ban PT belts.

Sigh. I'm going to get drunk now.

This is your calling. You are now on the path to become chief of staff of the Army so you can disband it so that no soldiers will have to suffer being in the Army any longer.

Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!


Today I watched two NCO's monkeyfuck a 249 and try to figure out why it was single shotting. I watched a Sergeant immediate action a saw no less than ten times to try to get it to work. Each time it spat smoke out of the chamber into his face. It wasn't going to happen, it wasn't meant to be. It had no gas regulator. I heard a different NCO ask if it was one of the new barrels...

Another 249 went down because the firing pin broke, while firing.

Same range, during combined arms familiarization, I watched a private shoot the muzzle cover off of a 320. I didn't think anyone would actually be able to do that as after last year when everyone took them off the factory attached dummy cord, I haven't seen a 320 with a muzzle cover.

A different 249 went down because the firing pin broke.

I'm gonna go in my little corner here and regret the life choices that led me to, at this moment, have no money for alcohol.

By the time you've gone 4 consecutive summers without watching your kid play soccer because of field training and/or deployments you start to get a little bitter. The commanders at every level try to uphold the same morale crushing bullshit. "We're the 101st, we have to do more."

We just got a SPC in our unit (ASMC national guard unit) that once, in the long past, deployed with the 101st, and has the patch. Whenever someone tries to talk down to him or correct him, even if that person is an E6 or something, he turns a bit, puts his left palm against his right arm, and taps the loving deployment patch. And he gets corrected a lot, because this is his first loving drill with us. Also, he has longer hair he gels sideways like brad pitt in inglorious basterds.

I've been out for years and one of the greatest joys is sleeping with my phone in another room, because no longer do I expect a 3AM call from the MPs saying two of my #blessedangels have gotten into a drunken nude brawl in the adjacent backyards because their version of Redneck Wife Swap went wrong.

What, the feet thing?



173rd was okay when I was in since we were on the other side of the world from the real Army and never trained or jumped or anything except for a couple big dumb Graf rotations or whatever. But all the other airborne units sound like poo poo and apparently the 173rd actually does poo poo now so gently caress that also.

Just remind him that no matter how many times he taps that patch, he never made a combat jump, nobody liked him in 101st, and that 101st has been riding off their loving name for 30 years.

The gently caress? I could see this from a SOCOM patch or a ranger scroll, but every swinging dick in my unit has a 101st patch. I wear my broken TV patch over the stupid eagle, AA, and spade that I have just because someone won't come up and ask "hey bro, when were you with X"?

Sounds like he doesn't even have Air Assault wings. Remind him that he would be lower than many E-1s in the actual 101st. There have been times when they would make SPCs stand at the far left of their rank because everyone else in the squad was AASLT qualified. Never seen it with an NCO, but it wouldn't surprise me if it happens.

E: Wait, it's one of those assholes who wears the patch because he shared a FOB with some 101st unit? Oh gently caress those guys.

When I found out how many tens of thousands of dollars went into moving their god drat life size fiberglass horse from Texas to bagram I was shocked, and I had been in three years at that point to see some serious fraud waste and abuse. International cargo space, loaded huey in a combat theater, crews for everything. Not that far from a solid hundred thousand to move a god drat horse statue so they have something easy and convenient to gently caress a lower enlisted into being posted guard on. For a year.

There is not a dick large enough to give first cav the loving it deserves.

I remember immediately after my graduation ceremony from armor school the commander of 3rd ACR was there and shouted at the top of his lungs for all the LTs that had orders for his unit to gather. He then went on a ten minute shouting rant to them about how great 3rd ACR is and how hardcore they have to be if they wanted to lead platoons in his regiment.
