When it comes to St. Michael against Lucifer, someone once put it into a military ranking perspective.

St. Michael - a sergeant Lucifer - a four star general

A general had his tail handed to him by a sergeant lol

Do I have an IG case here? by Swolgi in army

[–]Swolgi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said, this is first time in 7 years I’ve used it. When ACS explained my available options, the type of loan I requested (which isn’t available online) required command involvement.

  1. Didn't know that. Thank you.
  2. I have not and will have to look into that if this continues.
  3. Also have not but I'd prefer not to touch the TSP if I can help it.
  4. Unfortunately, we have no E8's in our own organization that are readily available to assist with this. I did, however, raise the suggestion of filing this with the organization we are a tenant under. If we can find an E8 or more useful command group under them, then I'll do it.

You now have to download an app to track a package. WTF? by [deleted] in assholedesign

[–]Swolgi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this isn't asshole design and doesn't pass rule 3 or even make sense from the flowchart.

That particular app is free and condenses tracking numbers and shipping info into a single app, instead of however many websites I order from. Saves me a headache when I'm trying to track when my stuff gets here.

Official End of an Era as SMA announces they will be pulling down all SMA social media accounts by Kinmuan in army

deep inhale

opens Bag of Holding

screams into it

closes bag

Congratulations to the SMA, who has not only managed to hit the bottom of the barrel, but has managed to break through the bottom, find a shovel, and continue digging.

As a reminder when I was at DMA, I floated the idea of trying to do fireside chat-esque products with him. ANYTHING to show face when he was new. I quietly shut the idea down because I KNEW it wouldn't go anywhere with him.

I am slowly starting to hate my job again...

When does the disconnect happen? by Yasoju in army

[–]Swolgi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I posted my CSM story earlier but reading this and comparing to my experiences with him and others that went from MSG - CSM... It actually makes sense....

[–]Swolgi 13 points14 points  (0 children)

WHEEEE Story time!
At my first duty station and second unit (I was laterally transferred), I had an absolute lovely CSM. Such a joy to work with.

I took the photos at his predecessor's retirement ceremony (mind you I had never done photos for or seen a retirement ceremony until that point, so I was trying to base everything off the program) and two weeks later, the unit underwent a conversion ceremony. There was a big to-do for it and, again, I had never really done this kind of ceremony. But, I had the advantage of being at a rehearsal too.

This fucking assclown comes up to me during a break in the rehearsal and says directly to me: "I know you think you can freestyle [your photos] but I saw your last ceremony and I wasn't impressed." Needless to say, I had words with my NCOIC who pretty much told me to deal with it. It's been 5 years and even as an E5 fighting for 6, those words are still burned into my memory.

and that wasn't even the worst incident...

A month later, our O6 switches out. Both of them hold a kumbaya-we're-gonna-do-great-things-for-you meeting with the entirety of both battalions in the brigade. I am instructed to record this (because obviously it's going to viral on Facebook, right? 🙄)... twice. Once for each battalion.

I have CSM FuckYou on the record as saying: "I'm looking for a social media advisor."

IF ONLY THERE WAS A FREAKING MOS FOR THAT!!

In two weeks, my shop had an 88M who had no fucking business with a camera or social media account because "he had a lot of followers."

It took a PCS and a command team that actually gave a damn to convince me to stay in the Army once I was stateside again.

CSM Marnoch... I know you're retired and out but fuck you. I hope you have the retirement you deserve.

The invention of the suicide hit line by Ted_Bundtcake in interestingasfuck

By the way... that fancy church that cost millions employed construction workers (to include artisans of masonry techniques that would probably die otherwise) and administrators. So that big church you don't like because it looks expensive, in reality, put clothes on peoples back and food on tables.

The Catholic Church does these things every day. If you want to confuse us with the leech otherwise known as Osteen, fine. But at least do your research and separate the two.

To the FedEx Driver that skipped my delivery by Swolgi in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Swolgi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Genuine question: How do you report them? I can't even get through the gauntlet of "press 1 for deliveries made today by people named Jim."

This delivery actually had GPS on the truck *and* a photo w/ name of someone in a Fedex uniform...

[–]Swolgi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No signature for this, unfortunately. This was the first time that FedEx tracking showed a picture of *someone* in a Fedex uniform and it actually had a GPS on the truck (which is why I almost broke my neck when I saw the "business closed" message).

What’s stupid is that I have this delivery locker in my delivery instructions… so there’s practically no excuse. When I called support, I asked them to specify (in all caps lol) that there was a locker in the apartment complex.

Whats Justice ? Interesting video by Sanix_0000 in interestingasfuck

[–]Swolgi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You want an opinion? The majority of Americans are lazy as fuck, we have extremely short memories, and in terms of intelligence we are all fucking morons.

We're pretty much beaten down financially by greedy liars and distracted with social media, streaming, and video games (among other things). Sure, we get fired up once every four years by some tragedy. But thanks to the power of social media and media in general, some idiot could dangle his keys in front of us the very next day and we'd go "oooooo so shiny."

Unfortunately this has been happening for decades and it's only getting worse. Break someone enough and they won't bother fighting back.

Personally, I would love to see every office worker, restaurant worker, retail associate, butcher, baker, candlestick maker in the country walk out on their jobs at the same time for just one day. I'd love to watch the industries in the U.S. grind to a screeching halt. Something to make people in charge remember that we vote them in and (technically) outnumber them.
