Did you mention something about my clearance to our CoC? I doubt they will finish redoing my clearance in the 242 days before I ETS. Since the unit will not let me transfer I am going to ask to go into IRR after ETS so I can hopefully get a call from a unit closer to home.

You can bypass your worthless AGR ops people and contact either the battalion security manager directly, or your MACOM security manager. You'll probably piss off the full-time staff, but you have 8 months left and that clearance means cash money, so who cares.

Well my 1SG, text me and said that he was emailing me instructions and everything to my mil email. I said I don't have access to that or my civ mail either (I'm a DA Civilian). I have tried everything militarycac says to no avail. My civ job doesn't have me near a computer with internet access very often.

Do you want me to mention something?

Someone *cough*cough* is going to be the interim commander while the regular commander has a baby.

Also what do you do for unrated time, Nobles? I was unrated for a few months between commanders, and the outgoing commander "forgot" to give me a change of rater OER.

You need to chase your outgoing for a change of rater OER. If your S1 didn't put a boot up his rear end over it then you need to do so.

So, I don't know if any of you guys remember, because it was back in the August thread, but on a convoy one of our trailer's wheel/hubs failed. Nothing major, right? Well, apparently, the LMTV behind the trailer saw the grease cap for the bearing fly off an hour or so before, and hit a car in the oncoming lane on the highway (and they want compensation, but nobody from BN told us that), but the driver didn't say anything. Then, after I took the pictures here, the tire exploded and pretty much took out the trailer. And then, instead of waiting for the mechanic company to show up, our glorious leader decided to abandon the trailer on the side of the highway and continue on. Great stuff. Here are some pictures:

This is in reference to the convoy to Flagstaff on 1 August 2014 when

I need each of you to write a statement about what happened before, during,

(due date) is NLT 15 NOV 2014. The sooner you provide me your statements,
the sooner I can rectify this issue. If you have any questions, please let

E4 in my unit did that and told them he was "thinking about reclassing to intelligence". They almost fell over themselves getting him a clearance before he left the army. Narcissists.

No poo poo, the I-17 is cursed. I was driving a HMMWV to Camp Navajo when the fucker died on me in the middle of the freeway, causing a four hour delay in movement for recovery stupidity.

I also crashed my first car at 18 avoiding an elk in the middle of the highway. gently caress that freeway so hard.

I normally give zero fucks, but that kind of stuff pisses me off. Talking about how great soldiers are is pathetic. Shut the gently caress up and just go be awesome. If what you did was pointless (like you said), call it what it is and move on. Either way no one needs to brag about anything.

uh EXCUSE ME, but i'm pretty sure the national guard medco supply sgt has at least three bsms w/ twelve v devices because of how goddamned high speed he is.

iirc, one of his bronze stars came from when he had a severely wounded spc verify his signature on a 2404 in the middle of an rpg attack.

oh hey, duck for a sec, here comes a wobbly rpg.

Southern Pines is better than Fayetteville. I've got a buddy that lives out in Bunnlevel, and if you don't mind a twenty or thirty minute commute to base it's a really nice area.

You always gotta "remind" them about that stuff, my PA didn't give me a profile after visiting him twice for some lower back issues (turns out I have an extra disk in my spine, who woulda knew) and his response to me asking about it was "wait, I never wrote you a profile??? I'm sorry man!"

Oh, I brought it up all throughout my last appointment with the guy. It was even the list thing we talked about before I left. Oh well, gently caress it. I'm high as poo poo on percocet and oxy right now so I don't really care since as soon as I'm done with my appointment I'm going right back to my room to pass out.
