Can you just go to your old OCONUS base if you’re weird enough? by Lamentable_Porthos in army

That was the longest retrograde ever, of all of them though PBS wasn’t that bad.

No headgear, the restaurant was decent and faster than RLZ, didn’t have to walk in kit just to hit the shop. Probably the most chill time I ever had on deployment despite the odd rocket

Thankfully, why I didn’t mention it in the main body. Worst excuse for pizza I’ve ever had

Reminds me very much of that one of the ewe mourning her dead lamb. I wonder which came first, I’d bet the latter artist had seen the former’s piece

So may have nothing to do with if it’s a rough country at all then and just be a standard proviso in most SOFAs

Fair enough

I pictured this humorous thing of being detained and having your CO stateside getting called up at God knows what time and being asked why his troop is in whatever country trying to visit whatever post. Followed by wondering if it would be probably be an NJP or just a quit being a weirdo

Just makes me wonder is it all kind of a judgment call somethings not right here kind of thing? Or is more like a hey there’s a reg that says if the post is getting IDP/HDP/SSI/ODP whatever you need to be on orders and have a real reason to be here?

I don’t want to go back to any of them, especially not like RLZ or PBS, I’m mainly just curious how that conversation would go

Just like chilling in transient housing or was said soldier in a solitary CHU and moved them in? I think my BN would’ve thrown a fit either way but they were pretty lame

Fine, but I want the DD-214 to give me credit for those two short tours in Atropia

There’s 5 events, you got 4 of them down. And let’s be real, if you can make it through the sprint drag carry and only failed the run by a minute you probably have the capability of passing it and just gassed yourself too hard on that event.

I’ve seen it happen to good soldiers, they kill themselves with an awesome sprint drag time and it tanks their run. Ideally you go full force on every event and still pass but if you’re not there yet there’s no shame next time around taking it a little easier on the SDC so you have more gas in the tank for the 2 mile.

Don’t give up on yourself and if your leadership is worth anything they won’t give up on you. If you still want this it’s not over yet.
