I got nothing with a v device for the specific reason that I didn't do anything vaguely important. I could've been replaced by a shaved monkey in ACUs and the very low, low requirements of my military service probably would've been met anyway.

In other news, the army is making me nervous. I got my last regular pay check on the 15th. Cool. Then I retired on the 23rd. Awesome. On the 24th I received my final active duty paycheck from the army. And it terrifies me. I'm waiting for that green dick to jump out of the bushes and jam me right between the cheeks when I'm taking out the trash or something.

if people get pissed about a stupid army poster then they don't have real poo poo to be pissed about (like actually being in the army)

e: look at the bright side, maybe someone is protesting and won't join the military and the military actually inadvertently did someone a solid.

Go to the WTB barracks. There's a van driver there named Ray. Get in good with him. He can maybe get you masters tickets. He worked the early evening shift. I think it ended at like 8pm.

I became Jewish at Benning after somebody blurted out that they have bagels and cake after the service. Put on my ACU yamaka and chowed down on those drat things.

It isn't as bad as say Polk or Drum or Irwin. There's just not a whole lot to do in that part of Georgia. Augusta is one of those towns that used to be big deal until the railroad died out.

Fair enough. If it's just Georgia being Georgia, I understand. I lived there in my pre-Army life.

Augusta has enough to keep you sane, but not much else. You're close to Atlanta/Savannah/SC, but not close enough for day trips. 6/10 would Gordon again faced with shittier choices.

I dunno how it is there but on Fort Hood I remember the MPs being astonishing, even for the army, shitheads about these things. 100% complete stop of your wheels and distinct pause in travel before crossing the line of a stop sign or you got a ticket and ended up on the blotter. 2 mph over the speed limit? same. Following "too closely" at the 25mph speed limit? You guessed it. There's dumb, there's Army dumb and then there was these mother fuckers out like they were trying to make a quota or some poo poo.

Drum wasn't too bad.

It's everything with Hood. The lovely buildings, the lovely layout, loving Bell County, Copperass Cove, Lampassas, Killeen, the homesteading douches, but worst of all, is goddamn Cav mentality.

Everyone I knew who had been to Drum longer than a year hated Hood more within a month.

Hell, I came from a frozen shithole mountain, and I hated Hood more than that place within two months.

gently caress Hood. gently caress Cav. gently caress the Army.
