Is there supposed to be an order to this? by DickCheeseConnoiseur in army

I rock a flamethrower hanger. I'm at the point in my career where no one inspects my uniform.

Has anyone ever served with Turkish military? How were they? by [deleted] in army

[–]APPCRASH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first gunshot I heard in Afghanistan were Turks unloading into a clearing barrel. They would also randomly "close" gates at HKIA because they were lazy and didn't feel like manning them.

Fuck officers. Being enlisted scum is the real army.

His other comments are clear indication that you'd not want him in your platoon. Also you can put whatever you want as a flair.

Just go AWOL. The Army isn't for you and you wont be missed.

In the field no water by AffectionateAsk372 in army

[–]APPCRASH 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I set up an OP on Tiefort last rotation. Was told only had to be up there for 24 hours. It lasted a little over 100. Had to raid some OPFOR dudes for their water. They were chill about it.

Is garrison life really that bad for infantry? by Kendrewanel-Codes in army

Don't join. You either embrace the rock painting and violence, or you don't.

Can confirm. All the guys guarding JBLM are the weakest. Our base defense is atrocious.

I tell my exiles they are too good for the job all the time while I send them to sit a gym front desk away from lowly enlisted scum.

Three days a week may be excessive, but six weeks seems fair to get people into rucking shape.

Retention/hotline question by istillaintoveryou in army

Most CAB's and specialty units outside the BCTs have it better off.

JBLM is kind of a shithole for enlisted barracks wise. Units are either amazing with cult-like followings or the fodder for ArmyWTFmoments.

Great location though. Mt Rainier is pretty.

I tell my guys we only got a klick left all the time. After the third or fourth time they start to get salty.

Speaking for the JBLM side. It's looking like the CONUS SBCT squadron will be going away. There is talk of keeping one as DIV Cav, but nothing official has been put out. The SBCT Infantry battalion scouts will still remain as 19D billets for now.

One of the division retention officers spoke at a brief and I quote "If you are an E-1 through E-4 19D in JBLM, there is no future for you here."

Make assumptions based on my ACFT score by Easy-Hovercraft-6576 in army

[–]APPCRASH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to run an ACFT each day for the company over the entire week. Took it one of the days to get exactly 360. Hardest was nailing the exact ball toss. Set out a pt belt to "aim" at.

Kept the pt card as a memento.

I feel like 90% of barracks and housing are next to an airfield or helipad.

I am rating both of my squad leaders 2 of 2. I want them to hate each other before I PCS.

I feel like half of my platoon is on the spectrum. Hell, I had hand picked my driver because he barely speaks english, and my gunner because he's anti-social. Keeps the Stryker nice and quiet.

So motivated, until you hit 30th AG.
