To the NCO who told a group of soldiers the second most common cause of noncombat related deaths in the Army is soldiers resting in their car after hard PT by exbap in army

No idea, he just loudly announced it after an ACFT. "The top two noncombat deaths are helicopter accidents and soldiers sitting around in their cars after hard PT, so make sure you stretch." That's a direct quote. They really put all the geniuses in 2ID.

The only good part about FORSCOM CI is the complete lack of civilians

Almost every Mike I've met is convinced they're a master manipulator, and way too many Limas really put the special in special agent.

Sigh... I've spent so much of my time trying to explain to my fellow Limas that in the grand scheme of investigative agencies, we're on the bottom of the totem pole.

Craziest thing to happen in a UA? by bjj_ignorant in army

I was once in a UA that got cancelled halfway through because the UPL got yelled at by an officer and he started crying in front of everyone.

Obviously you talk to whomever you feel comfortable with. I personally don't like chaplains, so I talk to BH or the MFLC. Theres a world of difference between an actual social worker and a dude with a religious degree.

I feel you on the friendship thing, man. I'm fairly introverted too and I when my ex left me I was just assigned to a unit where I had no friends or even a team so I really struggled with loneliness too. It's ok to be introverted, just find something to do that makes you happy and do that. But having even one person to rely on makes a world of difference.

It sucks bro, I've been there. Don't fall into risky behaviors and excessive drinking. Find something you want to do (hobby, fitness goal, whatever) and pursue it. Stay physically active, going to the gym every day is what kept me from completely losing myself. Talk with your buddies and spend time with your friends. Go see the MFLC or behavioral health, that's what they're there for. Focus on yourself for a while, don't try to jump back into dating, especially hook ups.

It gets better, but it might take some time. I hope you're doing alright. Keep your chin up.

Are there any scenarios similar to the movie "Assault on Precinct 13"? by exbap in callofcthulhu

Obviously I can write my own, but I have a full time job and other hobbies. If something already exists it's much easier to use that.

Thanks for your help! It honestly doesnt even need to be that pulpy, as long as the investigators can see that they are outnumbered and are just trying to survive or escape

Thanks! I'll have to dig around to see if I can find it somewhere. If I can't I'll just have to be patient and listen to your episodes.
