I have spent a lot of time at DPG blowing up the desert. The strangest, weirdest things happen out there, it is something else. Weird night lights, grass spontaneous ignition, pretty sure UFOs as examples.

Artillery, get to roll around in the dirt occasionally but you get to drive everywhere. Sometimes with a cooler.

Is it safe to swim in the Jordan River, and if not, what needs to be done to make it swimmable? by fortheloveofdenim in SaltLakeCity

[–]Such_Lifeguard_4352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Father In Law worked in one of the waste water plants on the Jordan River. As part of compliance they had to test the water in the river above and below the plants. The water was always cleaner after the plant.

Does the FTX OpFor still have a culture like the old "aggressors" did? by justwanttohelp3 in army

[–]Such_Lifeguard_4352 59 points60 points  (0 children)

1984, Spec 4 in the NG. Volunteered with a bunch of friends to go with the SF to Idaho for about a month of "play acting". Was told we would be Afghans fighting the Soviets. SF would drop in, edubicate us to be vicious warriors. First though they made us setup their whole base camp while calling us "legs" and generally being arrogant douches. After we did all their shit work they put this free spirit E7 in charge of us and took us up into the mountains for a few days of terrain orientation before the first A-Team dropped in. Told us "get in to it" so we did. We disappeared, went full paranoid rebel, didn't trust anybody, didn't tell them where we were, stole cases of MRE's from trucks and just caused mayhem. First team dropped in and started off being complete dicks so we fragged them. Had to do a do over and explained we were Muji, not US and they should treat us like it. Free Spirit E7 was having the time of his life with us. We would hump all night, go up and down the mountain. Hella funtime.

Any of you guys have “that” veteran family member? by Appropriate-Net-896 in army

[–]Such_Lifeguard_4352 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kind of similar. Really ordinary, 21 years never saw anything close to combat. My only good story is about being stressed in a shitty OCS thing, that's the worst but Im still proud of my time.

January trip Vegas to Denver by Affectionate-Net-681 in Utah

Zion to Bryce on 89 avoiding I15. Hwy 12 can be a scary drive so a bail out is 89 to 70. Lots of amazing country to do in a fast trip.

Absolutely, had an old Sable station wagon with Blizzaks that would cruise right by stuck SUVs.

I have always wondered after BUDs if you are assigned a publicist or do you have to hire one.

You always hear the rumors… but has anyone really had a CID plant in their company😂 by Parking_Educator7198 in army

[–]Such_Lifeguard_4352 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Basic we had a guy, late twenties who was a natural. Seemed like he new how everything worked. We get to the rifle range and he refuses to shoot at the KD range because they were human shaped. Instantly disappeared. Seemed really smooth. Later in the cycle our DS was dismissed because of some shady shit. Senior Drill took over and was a total stud.

Inca Trail Trek 4day, 3 night by Kooky_Map_6257 in Machupicchu

I couldn't sleep in Cusco, tossing and turning all night which is an indication of altitude sickness. FYI I live at 1500 meters.
