I cut the cuffs off of my top, removed about 8 inches of sleeve, and had them sewed back on. My "rolled" sleeves are tight as gently caress now.

The 7th ID JBLM BDEs that wear the 2ID patch occupy a weird place in Army history. I've met a few retirees that spent a lot of time in 2ID but obviously that was in Korea, which the JBLM BDEs have nothing to do with so I have no idea what the hell they're talking about. I've been in 2-2 for 4 years now and I'm still not sure why I wear a 2nd ID patch while singing the 7th ID song every day for the past 4 years. Literally the only thing about 2nd ID for the JBLM BDEs is the patch we wear. Sometimes I wonder what it's like being in a unit with decades, if not the better part of a century, of history. Go back beyond the early 2000s and none of the BNs within these BDEs have a shared history. 1-2 and 2-2 should just go all in and start wearing the 7th ID patch since our connection to 2nd ID is tenuous at best. Not really sure what prompted this post, I'm just buzzed and had a conservation with my retiree dad.

I don't even have a CAC to log in and gently caress up some slide decks if I wanted to. I've only had my freedom for 3 days.

Did you start tearing up on your way up I5 leaving that poo poo hole for the last time like I did? Also, thanks for bringing back the memory I'd blocked of having to sing that stupid loving song every morning. Really appreciate that.

It’s much more fulfilling than active duty. You’ve already started earning, your pension. Finishing with the Guard will get you that old man money.

Holy gently caress get started on that. No matter what, get loving started on that IMMEDIATELY. If you don’t, you’re one of the biggest morons to have ever worn a uniform (and that’s a TALL bar to clear). Even if they don’t rate you for anything now, your percentage can go up if there’s something that is a result of your service (early back problems from rucking being the classic example; ask me about 2 crushed discs and radiating nerve pain at age 25  )

I held a private down and made him hit himself until he went and got copies of his medical paperwork for a busted knee that "got better". I mean that figuratively. I haven't assaulted a fellow Soldier since that one time in the chow hall because of a chicken tenders mis-understanding. spacetoaster fucked around with this message at 15:45 on Dec 23, 2019 |

A Bad Poster posted:Did you start tearing up on your way up I5 leaving that poo poo hole for the last time like I did? Nope, not until I got home anyway. Driving out it was just a profound sense of relief that it's finally over. I ended up drinking and reflected on how this year went from starting out being one of the best years I've had in a long time and turned in to the worst year I've had in the Army. Crazy Mike posted:Have you considered making the next phase of your career the Army National Guard? It’s much more fulfilling than active duty. You’ve already started earning, your pension.

There is absolutely nothing on this planet that would ever get me to be in any way associated with any kind of military duty. spacetoaster posted:So you've already filed your VA claim? Right?!? Not until next month, I have an appointment with a VSO. Have all my records good to go though. Have an extensive record for my lower back, pretty sure I'll get some sort of rating for that. bird food bathtub posted:Welcome back to reality Mustang. It can be a weird transition but it's worth it. I'm optimistic for the first time in a long time. Feel like I have some measure of control over what happens to me. During the transition briefs they asked "does anyone feel anxious over leaving the military?" and a bunch of hands shot up. I didn't and don't feel that at all. It made me happy thinking about my life after the Army and felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of my shoulders.

For me it was different, since I was going straight from getting my final stamp or whatever from S1 then changing into civvies in the the bathroom and driving east. I was almost in Idaho by the end of the day. Also, hilariously, I ran into the Battalion CO on my way out the door. Was the only time I'd ever seen the man.

My recollection is that he hosed himself up badly in a few years and got defensive after gip telling him to cool it before he gets himself killed.

He had back surgery and then was super excited to get back to doing the thing that hosed it up in the first place, that being jumping out of airplanes for the US Army. If I recall, his back was so hosed that he was unable to move and incontinent until his wife dragged him to the hospital.

I dunno, sounds like fantastic revenge for pulling a bullshit 24 hour duty. Unless the Army decided to un-gently caress itself on the concept of staff duty in the last few years. I somehow doubt that.

This is fair, though much of that I recall being "Don't get a motorcycle when you can't walk" and "It doesn't matter if the doctor says you can go back on jump status, you should probably get treatment, you gently caress". Though a lot were warning him the shoe was gonna drop. He was like this thread's Firefighter/Titanic guy. I want him to get through ok.
