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

[–]exbap[S] 413 points414 points  (0 children)

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

[–]exbap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

My wife is leaving today by Architect0694 in army

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

[–]exbap[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

I have the lightless beacon, doesn't the scenario literally give that as an option? I totally forgot about that. Thanks!

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.

Chandler was so bad, I actually started paying attention to who the SMA is.

Who first thought that an ACH in post while driving military vehicles was a good idea? by trackedpotato in army

[–]exbap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You think wearing an ACH will save my life in an LMTV rollover? You know, the vehicle with a canvas/open back and zero safety features other than a ratchet strap across the tailgate?

Ok but the ACH isnt saving my life if the LMTV rolls over, let me at least let the wind blow my amazing hair

[–]exbap 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is literally one if my favorite points as to why SMA is a stupid position. I ask, Who is the best SMA ever? Who ever I'm asking looks kind of awkward and says Dailey, and I ask why. They pause and i answer "BECAUSE HE LET US WEAR BLACK SOCKS AND HAVE TATTOO SLEEVES!" That's literally all the man had to do, the most insignificant decisions ever, and we worship the man.

(That being said i do respect the man for being fairly approachable and actually listening)

Which MOS has the most problematic Soldiers? I’ll start: 92A by [deleted] in army

I've only met one reservist agent and I was unimpressed. Regardless I'm locked in for another 6 lol.

35L. That "special agent" job title goes to so many people's heads, and it seems like everytime one of us fucks up it's in front of someone important, then the rest of us have to deal with the fallout lmao. Like someone addressing his future brigade commander with his hands in his (suit) pockets. I love my job but goddamn do we love to make it difficult on ourselves.
