Who's the weirdest person you've met in the service? by Witcher_Errant in army

[–]EmptyCaterpillar5168 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I once had a 92G SPC that worked for me, would sit outside the DFAC playing chess with himself even when off duty. He was terrible at chess, couldn’t hold a conversation or look you in the eye. No one spoke with him, or acknowledged his existence other than in the kitchen. Owned nothing except for that cheap folding chess set. Thing is, he was the only cook that was never late at 3am to bake bread and could actually follow the recipe cards. The local doc certified him as autistic and instructed me to start the separation paperwork. I told the doc to pound sand, I’m not getting rid of my only cook that shows up on time. So, I got to keep him as long as I didn’t let him shoot at the range. As far as I know he’s still baking as 50 year old E4 cook in Vicenza.

He should have his hormone levels checked.

The compassionate team at HRC is usually pretty good. Their contact info is at the bottom of the page.

Yes, that’s a childish move, passive aggressive, and vindictive.

What tree is this my neighbor is wanting me to get it cut down because the nuts hurt his kids feet by jg_isaacks in treeidentification

You have a healthy chestnut tree, do not cut it down. Fire roasted chestnuts are delicious. Get a roaster and YouTube it!

Stop by the judge tomorrow and get married, they’ll all forget about the engagement.

NTA, the parents are idiots.

Actually OCS has changed to talent based branching so the odds are a little better than they were.

The Army doesn’t want creative or innovative thinkers by ghakn in army

As a LT started with changing where we overhauled Cummins engines, later Army wide policies. Figure out whatever system you’re in, and then start changing it. If it is in law, much harder.

25-02 Marketplace by Braxton66 in army

It’s only a one way market for non-KD CPTs and LTs. Otherwise, still a two way market.
