HickMan I was going to be a 31b MP. But I already had two traffic violations. One more and I woulda been done. Memorial Day night I got pulled over in that sweet convertible and he gave me that horseshit ticket for burnt out tail lights. Now I'm a 92y!

But I'm happy with it. I'm in for 3 years instead of 5 and I'll probably reup as an mp after my first year in.

McClain Uhm... What MOS did you have before that having a traffic violation jeopardized? Sounds kinda' fishy.
Aug 15th, 2008 02:13 AM
Tadao It was probably a fix it ticket, but it might still count as a traffic violation.
Aug 15th, 2008 01:36 AM
executioneer what the fuck, i never heard of anyone getting a ticket for a burnt out taillight
Aug 14th, 2008 11:11 PM
Tadao File that report for FREEDOM!
Just read up on Cargo Specialist. Hopefully you can move up to that.

HickMan Guess whose back guys! So I got a ticket for having a burnt out tail light in this car I drive around every once in a while. It's a classic. It isn't mine but I help out this old disabled Vietnam veteran do some odd jobs around his house. He pays me with his car. So on Memorial day I got pulled over like I said and I got an unsafe vehicle violation. I paid it off and told my recruiter. He told me that won't be a problem. But I guess that was one traffic violation too many. So now I leave September 3rd as a Unit Supply Specialist! Not the worst job around. I'm like Radar from M*A*S*H!

Yes, they do recycle them for training purposes. The dummy grenades simulates an explosion by using a flash. The housing stays in tact and they can reuse the grenade as often as they want. So they want the pins.

And I'm not exaggerating when I say there's absolutely no place for the word "why" in a boot-camp-like environment. They hate that word. It's insubordination.

Perfect example; we were doing live fire exercises on the range. They have a rule they call "up and down range." This means you keep your rifle pointing upward with the barrel facing down range - or toward the targets - no matter where you're standing. You could be sitting on a bench and if you're rifle isn't up and down you'll get jumped.

One day one of the recruits asked a drill sergeant why he had to keep his rifle "up and down" even though his rifle wasn't loaded and he was sitting in the bleachers.

I don't remember exactly what the drill sergeant said to him, but it was something along the lines of the DS shitting in a dixie cup, going back in time to abort the recruits fetus, and random expletives about him having bat shit between his ears. And he screamed all of this about 2" from his face. It was also at that point the drill sergeant noticed that the recruit didn't have his kevlar helmet fastened properly. More berating ensued.

Good times.

LordSappington Or curious, or just a dick.

Evil Robot Remember, if your drill sergeant tells you to drop and suck his cock, he's probably gay.
Aug 12th, 2008 08:04 PM
LordSappington Well there's a difference between sassing your superiors and just asking them, 'Sir, what do they do with the used grenade pins? Do they recycle them?' or 'Can I take a couple pins home for my father/son/nephew/whatever?'
I don't think most officers will have a problem with a question out of curiosity.
Aug 12th, 2008 03:06 PM
Tadao What you don't need is to question your superiors on something so trivial.
Aug 12th, 2008 02:10 PM
LordSappington That is pretty ridiculous. Do they reuse them? Or maybe you're supposed to hold on to it in case you don't need to throw the 'nade after all, and you never released the spring so you can put the pin back in.

But seriously, good luck, and thank you for supporting our country!
In training situations they'll typically chap your ass if you discard the pin. It's ridiculous.

McClain Your first couple of days will actually be pretty calm. They'll deprive you of sleep while slowly indoctrinating you to the process of waiting. No yelling or physical activity. Once your initial paperwork is finished and you have your first set of gear issued to you (sweatsuits, towels, etc) they'll take you to your barracks. That's when the fun starts.

Remember that boot camp is just a game. The best advice I can provide is to pay attention and keep quiet. Oh, and PACK LIGHT! Don't be the asshole with a ton of luggage. And when you do head to your barracks, make sure and stand next to someone you perceive as being a tidy person. It will pay off.

Good luck, boot!

DALI-II I hope you make it through the servace and live a happy life.

HickMan That would be illegal!

THANKS GUYS! SEE YOU IN FIVE MONTHS~

LordSappington Save as MANY grenade pins as you can and try to send one to every active Mockery user.
