MILITARY STORIES

[Wiseborn]

The Cavalry catching strays now?!

fukk yeah Cav nikkas deserve all the smoke. I knew a guy who got sent to Cav and he said it sucked. in the duece we had hummvee's we did a quick PMCS and we were done. A Track is fukked up all the time and since Comms (at my level) required fixing our own shyt and we had a whole tool box there was no way you could avoid grabbing a wrench fixed a fukked up track.

Having said that I got to drive a tank in Fallujah (after the battle) and that shyt was fun.

bruh pleeeeeeeease stop trying to investigate my life story just because i said paratroopers ain't shyt

what i did doesn't matter. because it legit doesn't matter. the most valuable thing i did in the military was take shifts for people who couldn't do em anymore. and that put me in a lot different maneuver units in both iraq and afghanistan.

i don't do war stories. there is no point in some dramatic retelling about ammo cooking off on someone stuck in vehicle. people drowning in their own gear. wired houses and people shytting themselves. rockets. etc. especially not for daps and in response to someone saying "equipment is more important than men" or whatever that shyt was.

the people who get off on that or think its validation instead of simply an experience are bozos. in or out.

as bad as hood was, the military was still the best gamble i ever took on myself. and i didn't get out because of hood, i got out because of shafter - where i was doing the job of 3 people for a shytty coin and covering for contractors who each made way more money than me. now i've gone from contracting to teaching. i'm happy i joined and never said otherwise even once. i'm even happier i got hurt and chilled the fukk out before i got a bunch of other soldiers killed with the 'lead from the front' trash that they had me smoking.

i really don't give a shyt outside of seeing people *not* fukk themselves up trying to be superheroes for an army that will happily replace them in an instant with the lowest common denominator and keep going.

basic training is not the same as happily taking on the dumbest, most antiquated attrition-based descriptor in the military

nah recruiting is depressing as hell. see yourself in a kid and be ready to drink yourself stupid....

nikkaAAA you investigate my Life. You assumed that I was some super hooah dude when I'm actually so Pro Black that I left that damn country. I talk way more about my time working at a underground strip club than I do about my time in the Army. If 9/11 didn't happen I would've never joined.

Dude stop trying to tell me what I did. nikka My job was setting up comms for HQ units. Most of the time I was sitting in a TOC listening to the Radio or fixing radio equipment. I was a total Pougue.

Then why are you in this thread? I came in the thread way back talking about fukked up things I did and nobody seemed to want to talk about that aspect then the thread fell off until I think Dave started asking questions and Badboy started making comments despite not being in the military either. I think I said it seems like all SOF and SOF support must be airborne qualified and that it seems like it separated the men from the boys and you spazzed the fukk out.

hate paratroppers or not I'll bet you sang airborne running cadences didn't you?

Tell us one negative experience so that nikkas on the fence thinking they're gonna fukk a bunch of foriegns and walk into a 100K a year job might think twice about.

1. This one E-3 kat got cussed the fukk out by this Chief (E-7) in front of his whole division, and about fifty other people on the pier, and the Chief told him verbatim "you're a Seaman, no one gives a fukk about you." Dude literally had to stand there and not say shyt, or else he would've been sent to Captain's Mast (NJP) that same goddamn day. What's even worse is that, even if the Chief is in the wrong (he was), he'll get checked in private (he wasn't, to my knowledge), and not a fukking soul will make him apologize to the Seaman (he didn't.)
2. This mexican woman called my hair nappy, and the entire office laughed their ass off.
3. Multiple people — who were white, of course — laughing at me because I have a minor stutter. Blatantly. It once happened in boot camp at our barrel clearing drill, and in front of our RDCs.

Even if you join for the women, it's really not all sunshine and rainbows in terms of the selling points that you listed in your response:

• Those foreign women will clean you the fukk out. I've seen many a nikka get his pockets ran either by set-up, or by divorce. Even without the marriage aspect being factored in, a lot of these women that dudes are fukking in foreign areas are prostitutes / base pass-arounds.
• Most military jobs don't translate to 6 figures. In the Navy, it's about 10 out of around 80 rates that directly translate to 6 figures, and another 20-30 that translate to good money in time (meaning that you're gonna have to serve a bit longer AND get certs in order to make close to your maximum potential in that field.)

When people ask me what combat arms does all day and I tell them “sit around smoking cigarettes, arguing, and talking shyt all day” this is what the fukk I mean lmaooooooo


This is in the top 10 pointless disagreements. Number one was 2 Latino specialists arguing over who was gonna get fat enough to fail tape first and get kicked out to escape a prior stop loss. shyt ended when the Puerto Rican cat’s wife sent the platoon a picture of him sleep in bed with a half eaten Cornish hen on his chest.

I always thought recruiting would be easier than being a drill Sargent

nah recruiting is depressing as hell. see yourself in a kid and be ready to drink yourself stupid....

Id jump into iran as a pathfinder or do SERE for 3 years straight before I did another tour as a recruiter being a Drill Instructor/Drill Sergeant you can actually get breaks between cycles or get sent to be apart of the receiving cadre little things that take you away from the daily grind.

As a recruiter if you don’t take over an office you’re on the hunt for numbers your entire tour you can’t take leave because well those days you want off might be a day a kid was to talk and if you’re not there he’s going to join another branch and if you do take leave you have to make up that time so it’s a lose lose and even if you’re in charge of a station if your recruiters are struggling you’re looking for people with them AND having the command on your neck about why you’re not meeting goal. Everyday is the same Talk to kids, go to schools and talk to kids, go to MEPS rinse wash and repeat your entire tour shyt is depressing as fukk.

My pops did recruiting when he was in the Army and when he described that shyt to me, it immediately killed all want for me to try it out

Probably as the resident 19D I must say “If You ain’t CAV, you ain’t shyt” limps off at 39 and retiring as a MSG because 11Z and 92Z have far more E9 positions.
