Or when you're running in step but the only people who have slurped army dick enough to sing songs are midgets with lightning fast midget steps and you are just listening to your cartilage disintegrate. Oh, army, gently caress you.

What I noticed with combat arms units is that if you've got flogged out weapons and no decent gear then sure as gently caress battalion has plasma TVs coming out their rear end.

I was really shocked when I saw my first infantry unit in Korea. They were all really small kids, but play gay chicken like lives depended on it. Then when I was at Benning had occasion to wander down to infantry osut land and it was the same thing, just a bunch of little kids. Had the unfortunate circumstance of having to deal with RTB and regiment because those dickheads were always ruining vehicles and equipment and had to beg for humvees and various other poo poo. Which just meant we were soon to have ruined vehicles, but those guys were just slightly older little kids, but with a few obviously juiced up monsters scattered amongst them. The only reason I'd ever be concerned about infantry is that they are usually doing something that is going to attract some very bad attention, or poo poo was about to get really, really stupid. Or rape. The staggeringly high incident of dude on dude rape. As for pogues, whatever, really. I was a tanker and a scout and all my job was for the 4ish years I was in was to make some cocksucker much higher rank than me feel important, which I'd wager is what 95% of the entire military's job is.

Unless you've got some rank on you, then I'm pretty sure those things don't matter poo poo. HRC does what HRC wants, and that's whatever is easiest for them.

2ID in particular has a fine tradition of abusing soldiers, with full support up the chain. It was so bad that when I broke my arm towards the end of my tour, I went to yongsan to get it casted. The bone doctor there, a full bird, gave me his cell phone number after hearing that I was going back to Casey. In case anyone tried to make me do something that would gently caress with my arm. I thought that was a little unnecessary seeing as how I had less than 2 months left. Lo and behold the battalion commander wanted me for what was my 4th tank gunnery for the year and his response was "I don't give a gently caress, strap his hands to the controls if you have to". So I gave that number a call and apparently when some one wearing stars calls you up and abuses you, you do what you are loving told. No gunnery for me. He was a spiteful prick so I got denied a PCS award, but I never did care about the 27 pieces of flair so that was fine by me. Then someone on the forums here - I forgot who it was and I accidentally deleted his messages - told me that the battalion commander got his fat rear end kicked the gently caress out after he got his full bird having falsified a PT test and height and weight. Of all the things to jam him up for it was a bogus tape test, but whatever, I'll take it. Anyway, everyone has a got a Korea story of higher ups giving major rear end fuckings all the way down the line for no other reason than malice.

Mech pilot in your contract? Sorry fucko, needs of the army in full effect, enjoy your new infantry contract, and because we're pulling you out of the middle of your mech training you're not getting your bonus. And just a heads up you can't wash out of infantry school because we're just gonna strap you to the outside of mech because armor is expensive. No, you're not gonna get any actual armor as you're basically worthless for bring dumb enough to sign up AGAIN! Ha! Hooah army strong scrub that toilet bitch

Gotta love volunteer army still stuck in draft army since Vietnam Here's a quick army translator for you: Professionalism : stupidity Discipline : stranglehold control by higher rank Common sense : literally the very opposite of common sense Leadership : inserting the dick Training : words and actions without any understanding Uniformity : more stranglehold control with a touch of OCD. Responsibility : the able to throw someone under the bus at a moment's notice. Basically all army bullshit words boil down to either control, or loving. And they are all used to gently caress and control YOU

My dad gave me a 92fs when I was a kid, and I put some serious rounds through that thing shooting competitively. Had drat near every part replaced at least once after 8 years and he had it for another 7 until he sold it. Used it for shooting pigs to shooting paper. Goddamn that was a good gun. Even after all that use it was in way better condition than the best M9 I ever saw. I'd buy a 92g tomorrow if I had a need.

Apparently it happens a lot. Which is no surprise, back in 80s people were like "don't go touching your toes for a warm up, you'll hurt yourself". So the army decides "gently caress that poo poo, do it multiple times and with velocity!

Okay, so with armor branch, the highest ranking in the VEHICLE CREW is the TC/VC. He is responsible for the vehicle. If someone, say the batt commander jumps in the back, he's gonna give generalized orders if he likes, but the execution of those orders, or the ability to tell him no fuckin' way, goes to the TC/VC. If you're in a Bradley, you're a scout so you've got dismounts to do dismount work. If you're in a tank say, your TC and loader will get out, to leave you with a gunner and driver in the tank. That way, if your dismount crew dies raiding a house you can immediately lay waste to the entire environment. Or if enemy troops or light vehicles are inbound, you can still engage effectively with your TC/VC on the ground. Even without a loader you can still fire off 120mm, you're gunner is gonna be going like a one legged man in an rear end kicking contest though. I think I covered everything there.
