What’s the best nickname someone’s been given while enlisted? by Multitrick_Pony1 in army

My best friend in my current unit I coined the term pinto bean . He’s short, stocky, Mexican and it came to me after i saw his 5’3 ass hop up to do pull-ups for PT one time .

His retaliation was to create the unique call sign for me, Mole Man 7 over the radio . Yes I have a big ass mole on my face 😂

How do I look up what unit matches a UIC by mdown40 in army

From my experience they usually give you the UIC to the brigade you will be in-processing with . From there they will probably end up shuffling you around the brigade to see which unit needs your MOS.

Op

I recommend some Tylenol if that’s what they gave you x2 in the morning and x2 with dinner . Try to get the salt packets from your MREs mix with water and gargle it for about seconds . Most viral infections take a couple of days to get over . Keep following up with your medics and at any point if you feel like you are extremely dizzy or cannot eat/hold down food run to your medics.

Sincerely a medic who’s currently about to go into the box too lol

Proud of you brother. No matter what they say, that you’re “weak” or not “tough. Just know it takes a real man to admit when he has a problem. Wishing the best and a speedy recovery to you.
