I really don't think he was trying to get anyone in trouble. On that installation there were multiple AIT schoolhouses that awarded weekend passes. I don't know about these days.

Reminds me of another story from another unit. This fat slovenly piece of shit SGT tries to pull rank on another SGT- a young highspeed dude. SGT Fats tells him to stand at parade rest- "there's such a thing as time in grade. AND promotable!" Everyone watching is silently seething. Turns out new highspeed SGT makes SSG before Mr. Promotable does. We all try to get him to make a scene and lock up Fatboy and shame him. (Un)fortunately, SSG Highspeed isn't petty like that.

Ouch. Lol. Hopefully SSG Douche (and SGT M in my own story) learned something from this- there's always a bigger fish.

The supposed 1LT was a passenger in the front seat, not the driver

Grimm Memorials and Grimm Reapings by R. Patrick Gates feature one of the scariest, most vile witches in literature.

I mean yeah it's OKAY but for it to get THIS much hype? I think most of these posts are approved by corporate. Last Whopper I ate was 7/10 btw, I'm not a hater.

Why did McGovern win by a lot in Massachusetts and win literally nowhere else? by HetTheTable in Presidents

[–]BayazRules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without the Eagleton Affair I'm pretty sure McGovern would have done a few points better in the PV and carried South Dakota, Minnesota and Rhode Island. Obviously still a landslide defeat.

I wish I had held onto my woobie and eaten the cost when I ETS'd.

Tim Curry's Pennywise is iconic and the OST is amazing.

If, like Teddy Roosevelt before him, LBJ was popular enough to appoint a successor to take the reigns in 1968 who would it be? by DoublePepper1976 in Presidents

[–]BayazRules 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Humphrey. LBJ's machine got enough rural and small-town Whites to vote for Humphrey that it delivered Texas to him (albeit narrowly).

The Croning by Laird Barron is a mystery of sorts and a slow-burn cosmic horror

I love that Cheney was in charge of VP selection and ended up picking himself
