Military Roll Call! Veterans, GTFIH!

[HunterSdVa29]

Another quickie,

Back in conus before being released every Friday mid day, we would have a company formation where the Sargent Major would addressed us for our safety standown brief before releasing us to libo.

O'l Sargent Major Johnson. Skin tanned and cracked like leather, face made out of worn-out old oak wood, fat lip full of chew. Everyone loved his safety standown (of course it wouldn't fly now sadly)

He would say 3 simple things in the thickest southern Alabama drawl you ever heard...., "Don't drink and drive, Don't smoke no crack, Don't suck no dick, dismissed!"

*sigh* miss the good ol days.

Conversely, my 1SG in 2012 almost got into trouble b/c during a safety brief he said "if women didn't have vaginas, why would we even talk to them?" and some can told his wife about it

While stationed in S. Korea, the battalion SGM gave a weekend safety brief and he decided to rant about the importance's of staying out of trouble so that we remain combat ready at all times. While going off, he called the North Koreans Yellow Bastards and subsequently he was EO'ed by the Korean KATUSAs. The following Monday in front of the whole battalion he brought it up that he was EO'ed and he basically called everyone pussies for not talking to his face and no one else complained after that. It was hilarious to see the whole thing transpire.

My 1SG, who was just selected for SGM at the time, was dishonorably discharged. He was fucking at least 5 broads in our company and sexually harassed a bunch of others. The ones that fucked him got their own room in the barracks. They were two person rooms. He was also married. He was a recruiter back in the day, and he was a preacher at an off post church. That mother fucker had the gift of gab. The company loved the guy before all of this shit unfolded. Even after, most supported him.

we had the opposite when i first got to Germany. An IN 1SG that just got back from an 16 month to Iraq, his FIRST DEPLOYMENT......which means he was in during the golf war likely, and certainly somalia, bosnia/kosovo, and you know the beginning of OIF/OEF but somehow was always in school or NCOA to get outta it.

dude was a straight dick. his remote broke to his TV in his office, so he'd call me in to change the channel from the Training Room. the TV was 10' in front of his desk. Downrange, he adopted a pet donkey, and had a special detail for privates to wash and groom his donkey, i shit you not...

Then again he was pretty funny too. This one cat got caught coming back from Amsterdam w/ OZs of weed and was getting kicked out. I was on Duty/CQ one night, and 1SG comes in, slides a 20 under the kids door knocks and ask for a dimebag hahahahah and then told him to get a tattoo w/ a globe and weed leaf b/c he was an INTL drug pusher haha

I was a Personal Clerk in the Marines. They use to put a certificate for the shellback in the SRB(service record book). I went in 1996. I remember when I was boot my unit started to remove them from the SRB and give them back to the Marines.

As much as I loved being a grunt...I envy you...man I wish I was an admin clerk or something...I literally have no job skills

POG ass bitch

ha! i love it! brothers no matter what. Do wish i was a POG though haha. Whats funny is that your join date is a time i was deployed. 0311/0331. Please tell me how im a boot

 

[madizm2]

isn't hazing supposed to be like funny? or really embarrassing?

It's probably funny to the drunk team leaders whose bright idea was to "cocoon" all the cherries in Batt by zipping them up in their sleeping bags and hanging them outside their barracks windows, three stories up by 550 cord.

These are my favorite kinds of stories. When I was a boot I was part of a working party at the Company Office cleaning and vaccuming and whatnot. Our First Sgt had a page installed in his office to where he could just pick up the page and call you over a loud speaker to come to his office. He called me into his office, and while I was standing at attention, in his office, he continued to talk to me for like 5 minutes over the page. I don't even rememeber what he said, but I was a straight boot so it was funny as hell.

Once during Battalion Commander room inspections our company Gunny was doing a pre inspection inspection. I wasn't actually there for this, but heard the story and it can fully imagine how awesome it was. 2nd platoon had a barracks rat living with them in one of their rooms. When it came time for the inspection, she refused to leave because she said she didn't have anywhere to go. Knowing that the Btn Commander would only inspect like one room per floor, they just had her hide in a wall locker. Unfortunatly for them, Gunny picked their room to inspect during his inspection, goes in there, opens up the wall locker and is confronted by this girl crouched in the wall locker right at face level. Apparently he looked at her, looked at them, looked back at her, shook his head, closed the wall locker and walked out without saying anything.

That reminds me of the time we had a guy get caught sexing some Jacksonville rat in his room on Lejeune. The OOD saw him bringing her into his room and waited to go bust him. She was hiding in his wall locker and he told the OOD with a straight face that she was there to help him with field day.

we had three cats get caught sneaking girls on base in their trunks in Germany hahahaah

the game it takes to convince a girl to do that in the first place, all for no action in the end....

This must have been around 2001 to 2007. Those were the "wild wild west days" to be stationed in Germany. After 2009 or so the German girls weren't as out going and hungry for americans anymore. Unfortunately I didn't get stationed in Germany until 2010. By that time German girls were VERY picky and snobby. Its all good though since I found a nice brazilian girl in Windsbach that occupied my time for the next two years.

I respect all grunt based MOSes but if thats all you do for 4 to 8 years and then get out... What you gonna do as a civilian? I had a bunch of buddies that got out and ended up becoming bouncers, bar tenders, mall sercurity guards, strip club security etc etc.

Heidelberg, Wiesbaden, and Mannheim were very much different.

Feel for me? Like I said, my little Brazilian girlfriend I had for the last two years I was there rocked my world on a weekly basis.
