Being stripped of an AAM by the President is way cooler than an AAM could ever be.

Edit: there's no way he has the gumption to follow up on the tweet.

Ask me about Proposition 305


Do you like muskets?
Senator Doug Jones (D-Won the football game) is circulating a letter to the conference committee members for the 2020 NDAA asking them to retain the language from the House NDAA that repeals the SBP-DIC offset.

I'm being told the letter has been signed by 60 members of the Senate.

Do you get a second certificate that rescinds the first one? Like repealing a constitutional amendment?

Its especially important to remember Roy Moore (R- Creepy Guy hitting on underaged teens in a strip mall) was also trying to get those teens to strip for him in the back of his windowless van while in his 60s

I stand corrected. Maybe I’m misremembered, is USMC stricter?

Yeah USMC is stricter with low level awards but our promotion system doesn't give points for awards like other services do which is the real reason why they hand them out so much.

I tried to get a Lance corporal a JSAM for some really high speed work they did for me and my unit during a deployment spin up.

I’ll just cut the story short with: He ended up getting a letter of commendation or whatever the gently caress those certificates are called and I learned that USMC senior enlisted are the most loving idiotic group of crayon chewers ever.

Meanwhile, I got a JCOM for my part and all my guys that weren’t that poor young Marine got JSAM’s and 3 day passes. I always liked getting my guys awards and decorations when they earned them.

How does the Marine's chain of command tie into a decoration like that? Was it a joint unit that had a Marine as the commanding officer?

I've received a couple of joint decs over the years, and they were always handled by the awarding unit's J1. In one case, my squadron didn't know I'd gotten the award until it was mailed to the CSS.

I'm just surprised his lovely leaders even had the opportunity to jump in and stop him from getting the dec.

E: and then I had to prove it was actually for me, because they spelled my name wrong on one dec and got my rank wrong on the other one.

I got a COA for my iraq deployment. HQ units suck loving rear end. God loving forbid you have a job outside of sniffing rear end at battalion all day, because you'll be forgotten about if your nose isn't planted firmly in someones' sphincter.

Also the CSM used to routinely give me poo poo for my mustache being out of regs. Every motherfucking week he'd roll around to watch his driver PMCS their truck and see me out of the corner of his eye, use his laser like eyesight to focus on the corners of my lips, then proceed to time and a half his rear end over to me, covered in grease or oil from whatever I was working on, and proceed to bitch his weekly diatribe at me about facial hair regulations. It got to the point that I'd get under a truck when he was around and start loving with random poo poo just so I wouldn't have to crawl out. Sorry sgt major but this trans cooler line isn't going to unfuck itself if I let go and it bleeds out. It got to the point that I think he may have admired my casual attitude to hierarchical bullshit, he dealt with a lot dumber people than me on deployment, most with competency issues.

Going home was award enough. Getting out was more rewarding than anything else. Getting the gently caress out of big army structure is like galaxy brain award for beating the army.

It's gotta be policy to gently caress up names on awards too. Never got an award that was completely correct, even though I knew S1 personally.


I know this isn't news, but it's the end of the month. Someone start a new thread.

I got a NAM for stringing together a bunch of abandoned RJ45 into a network for a project that was ultimately abandoned due to reasons not related to my totally tubular work. Apparently I saved a bunch of money for them not having to hire contractors or buy equipment. Go Navy.
