theory i have; the less combat oriented a unit is, the more they puff up their chest and talk about being ready to fight, "when the poo poo hits the fan" etc.

Super dumb. You should get out early most days days though. Forget any kind of training except for the occasional land nav, If you are combat arms expect the hooah hardcore combat arms is the greatest to get worse, despite the fact that you are now a pogue bitch if you weren't already.

Okay, so it's still the Army. Good to know. I may be going to Gordon. I'm a pogue bitch now and would be there, too, so whatever. Not sure if I'd even interact with the TRADOC part of the base, tbh. Probably best if it works out that I don't.

It really is best that you don't. When units in TRADOC can't pretend that they actually do something, they start screaming poo poo about STANDARDS and DISCIPLINE, and you get dumb poo poo like regulation fights and it's really best that no one be involved in it ever.

Being permanent party on fort Knox was awesome. I pulled on site emergency medical insanity for basic trainees and LTs going through ARC and BOLC. Never a dull moment, got all kinds of patient care experience. Mostly from LTs. The ways those dumb motherfuckers hurt themselves... all privates ever did was slip and fall down. It took an LT to try to stop a runaway 50 cal with his hand.

So no poo poo there I was, a bright and spiffy monday or some poo poo. I forget which range this was on at Knox, it was the ARC/BOLC range way out down the highway... 17 I think? Anyways. I was astutely checking over the readiness of the interior of my warm FLA (read: asleep like a motherfucker), when someone came a'bangin at my door. Hark, who bangs at the medics door? Unless it's something really bad, go gently caress yourself, forevermore. "Uhhh... doc?" The hidden speaker said, with that edge to his voice that immediately sent my medical cock to full turgidity. I burst from the doors, ready to dispense with some medicine, whether they liked it or not. But what do I see? A lone LT, standing in front of me, gripping his wrist as blood slowly seeps from his issued nomex glove. His eyes met mine, wide with panic. His brow, sweaty. His cock, flaccid. "What the gently caress!?" I took in the immediate situation with but a glance. An NCO sauntered up, a cigar sprouting from his maw in a cavalier fashion. A parrot sat upon his shoulder. "Brawwwk, do as I say, not as I do!" it squawked. He filled me in. The NCO, not the parrot. Apparently LT dumbfuck had an... issue with one of the 50 cals on top of one of their tanks. It decided it wanted to be a free 50 cal, to run wild through the woods, spreading it's good cheer on all the unsuspecting childrens. But instead of merely hiding like a good LT, or breaking the belt, or hell, just sitting there with a stupid look on his face, the LT opens the weapon. And grabs the front of the bolt face with his gloved hand. The glove, which without his hand would have been pulped before you could say 'AAR!', was the only thing holding his mangled man-pleaser together. How was he going to get a right-justified OER with this!? I looked him dead in his eyes. They were cold, dead eyes, like a doll's eyes. I licked one of his tears, and spake: "Jesus gently caress, sir, that glove is the only thing holding your goddamn hand together, gently caress if I'm poking around at that. Hold that poo poo above your head and let's get you to the fuckin hospital." And so, we went. The really great part about this story? This happened on monday. A totally different fuckface officer did the exact same goddamn thing on the following friday. I got a stern talking to for laughing at him.

I dropped my sister off at the airport today and was treated to a bunch of E1's and E2's saying goodbye to their families as they returned home from Christmas Exodus from basic. I'm really glad I didn't have to deal with that when I went. Seems like an amazing hassle.

Opening the feed tray cover of a runaway gun.  By the way, did you ever meet a medic at Knox who was missing a couple fingers from a hazing incident?

He's a cool guy, pulled a fast one on me telling the story like it was another guy who got hazed. Then he held up his phone to show a picture of the injury in such a way that I noticed he was missing some digits.

He sure smiled at life. Although life hasn't smiled on him too much. He ended up getting beaten with the claw end of a hammer, by his wife. Then got the poo poo beat out of him by the MPs. He still came out on top though!

Didn't hear the claw hammer story but I met this guy a little over five years ago. He started telling us about this guy who was getting hazed and part of it was getting his hand slammed in a door and then the hazers throwing him out in the snow. He asked if we wanted to see a picture he took of the guy's injury, and when he held up the phone to show us we noticed he was missing fingers. It was funny because my brain took a couple seconds to register and put together the puzzle pieces.

You're best bet is to find a unit that is going, and then make up a reason to join them. I'd tell them I'm the only 42a qualified to shoot HIMARS, and they have to have me to meet some reg.
