every time you do a grenade range, the people running the range tell you about 100 times that you will not watch your throw. you will 'remove the thumb clip, pull pin, get in the throwing position, throw and then take a knee'.

Two Finger posted:Why did he gently caress him up? Probably because he's a blow hard dickhead who hates his existence but is too dumb to do anything else in life. Yeah, give him a shove or yell at him or whatever but bowling people over like that in full gear is a good way to break bones and gently caress up joints.

Bingo. The only time that'd be acceptable is on a live range because grenades are loving dangerous.

Man speaking of bootcamp the funniest poo poo I saw was this black kid at bootcamp with dreadlocks and they literally couldn't cut his hair. He spent a few days walking around in uniform with this cover perched on top of a solid feet of dreads.

Confronting people for stolen valor is just as retarded as stolen valor. It leads to all types of bullshit like Vietnam vets getting called liars and fakes in 2015. It's loving dumb, don't do either of them.

Unless the "stolen valor" is for direct govt financial benefits, yelling at some dude likely short a few fries of a happy meal in a hosed up uniform at the mall is like screaming at kids on Halloween that they aren't really batman.

My barber told me how one time he had to borrow a set of electric sheep shears to cut a guy's hair after he grew dreadlocks for about 18 years.

suboptimal posted:Anyone have any good Stolen Valor stories? Any thoughts on dudes who confront some poser in a shopping mall food court and all that jazz? A buddy and I were sitting at a bar a mile or so from our base. We were talking about work I guess, because some random dude next to us, looked to be in his late 20s, chimed in with  I was in the Air Force too!  That's great man. I was supposed to be an officer but my recruiter hosed me over. Go on... I had my bachelor's degree and wanted to be an officer, so I went to a recruiter and he said that's what my contract was for. But when I got to training, it was for regular basic training not for officers.  You thought you were commissioning and didn't realize until you were getting off the bus at Lackland?!? Yeah. Turns out they decided my school didn't qualify so they didn't recognize my degree but the recruiter didn't tell me. So you went to an unaccredited college for four years, then accidentally enlisted in the Air Force. Yeah.For some reason the conversation ended at that point, probably either he left or we did. He seemed genuinely annoyed, but the story is so loving absurd and self-depricating I still don't know whether I believe it.

There was a rumor that a nearby squadron in ch46s had been doing fast rope out at Pendleton and there was a crew chief Spartan kicking dudes out. This was within 2 months of the movie coming out. Though it was I 46s so it's not like they could do anything you make them more dangerous for the passengers

FrozenVent posted:Wait, they're drill sergeants for three years? Three loving years? Hours are absurd. Like 0430 to 1900 every single day of the week except for the day you have CQ then it's 24 hours and you get one recovery day where your circadian rhythm is so hosed you either sleep all day or you don't sleep a wink and then start the cycle anew the next day. They throw you a bone and allow one 4 day per cycle (about every two months) but holy hell I don't know how they do it for 3 loving years. When my noble rear end nopes out of there at 1700ish I look over my shoulder at the sunken eyes, horrible acne and loose skin you get from sustained sleep deprivation and just feel bad.

Drill Instructor is a two year tour in the Army. lovely job, the incentive pay isn't good enough, good for promotion if you don't lose your mind or get hemmed up doing something stupid or being credibly accused of doing something stupid. Cycle breaks give some reprieve but not much.

I say that because if you're in an overworked environment like that, there is no reason not to use all the freely available manpower to do menial tasks so that the drills can get other work done that you can't assign to privates.

You'd think maintenance would be the only thing the company XO would have to worry about. He can borrow brokedicks and recycles so the DSs can do other poo poo.

Wasn't a DI, but in my second tech school, the school house and dorms were in a very public and brutal fight over treatment of students at the dorms. Instructor: We can't revise our courses because it would turn the 3 month course into 6. If students had to deal with that dorm bullshit for 6 months you would be jumping out of the third story windows .* Shortly after I got to my first station, a bunch of us were called to testify before JAG/OSI/IG/whoever was dealing with that clusterfuck. * - dorms were three story buildings Kempo Yellow Belt posted:dumbest questions rarely get dumber...
