I am joining the forces soon and something I have noticed is everyone who is in or has been in has awesome stories. They can be funny, bad assed or just plain weird but lets hear them
>>
Reposts welcome too

Once upon a time a dude I know was looking at a pipe because he heard a noise coming from it.

Then 2 year old liquid shit shot out of that pipe into his face with the force of s firehose.

This is what happens when you are on a submarine. Poo shoots out and hits you.

Here is an old story I greentexted some time ago

1/3
>be me, 19y/o Swiss guy
>mandatory military service started 5 weeks ago, I'm incorporated as a rifleman
>it's time to choose our specialty, everyone gets one
>we have 4 options: LMG, Panzerfaust 3, Commando (basically forward observer) and Explosives (basically do nothing all day and have fun with HE)
>I choose LMG because muh BRRT
>Zug (platoon) LMG has a pretty harsh LT
>first morning, the platoon meets its NCOs and one new guy who just arrived
>the new guy is private Wilson
> it's a white cardboard silhouette target mounted on a stick, with an angry skeleton drawn on it
>'recruits, this is private Wilson! He will be with you at all times, and he will be present at each morning call'
>and so it was
>be a week later
>we got some issues with the Commandos; insults, places in line for chow stolen, no biggie
>until they struck our honour as a platoon

>weird, he's usually always there to yell at us
>as we get back to the barracks around 1800, we see him in the PDStand (the place where we clean up our gear every evening)

I was so fucking mad, but still didn't throw his dumbass under the bus like I should have. The real question is, why didn't a full bird know immediately that the Army doesn't field M60's in 2011? 8/10 though, would have taken a UCMJ to eat that fat ass of hers.

Nah, she had no fucking clue bro. I omitted it for brevity's sake, but after old fuck clambered down she said, "So what are these?" and pointed at the M2.

Not calling out imperfection is how you breed incompetent combat arms.

>>
>>30376744
What hold the leadership class accountable? What heresy is this. On the serious side while you are right at the absolute level there is the fuckery of personnel availability/replacement difficulty. Even a retarded sergeant is a big investment of time and money (even when they fuck up worse than they are worth) and officers even more so. Some are shit at line duty but can handle office work or maintenance tasks. Unfortunately we got rid of the tech sergeant ranks besides specialist (most any other e4 is nco) these tech ranks granted the pay but no command authority (or limited to only their shop) to the focused nco. As much as the marines get shit on they do have a better combat command structure especially up to e6

Sorry to hear that man. That's another thing, I'm torn between army and air. I've got a hard on for tanks and planes. One of my buddies was in the air guard security forces. That's the route I was thinking of going. What's shitty about it anyway and how long is the contract?

I am on for 6 years. you want to be officer or enlisted? The shitty parts come with a peacetime military. Stuff like death by powerpoint, epic hazing, and all around bullshit. Overheard in the moterpool:

>>
>>30377130

haha I kind of figured there wouldn't be too much action. I'm not totally decided on that yet. As of right now, I just want it for the benefits and the discipline. Depending on how things go I might want something more out of it. Another thing I'm worried about is my ears were pierced and stretched when I was a dumb shit fresh out of high school. I don't know if this would disqualify me or not, but it's the only reason I didn't go active duty in another branch when I was younger.

Prior response guard is correct. Keep in mind for guard and reserves there is next to no change in the roster under e5 so if you fuck up it is always there

>>
>>30377156
Yeah, it's a recent development that occurred when they fucked the ADF over.
They cut pensions, penalised people for mentioning pensions, blockaded services, privatised in house roles (food on base is now fucking transfield services) and moved away from a merit based system into cert style courses.

If you can count to ten and sign your name, you make lance, 20 and your address and you male corporal, etc.
Basically all it takes to make WO2 is a few years of being a CO2 Production Specialist, and skills such as reading a letter and pissing without hitting the seat.

Sniper is a massive amount of field craft, observation skills, navigation, comms... and about 5% actually shooting shit. Maybe less actually now that I think about it.
Also- get fit

In terms of what the ADF was when I joined (late 90's) and what it is now (actually I don't really know exactly as I left ages ago) but we've come through in the 00's cut a lot of fat off the shittier bits and got us a budget. However, the main thing is that there are still officers and probably some NCO's running around that aren't 100% peacetime fuckwits and have actually seen a bit of the sharp end. A bit of blooding does wonders for a modern army as it sorts out the fuckery from the people that actually know what the job really is.
Will you end up hating them?
Of course, for the last 3000 years some boot has been whinging about the 'centurion is a bit of a cunt' all the way to where it is now. Feel free to whinge, no one cares :)

Yeah thanks for that man, just praying I get a blooded CO.

Sniper shooting wise was just for hopeful selection during employment training, the other stuff I am decent at through a life of extreme sports.
I am genuinely looking flrwards to some hazing, making sure to bring lots of smokes too, so feeling relatively set.

Any idea how hard it is to go reserve first and transfer to active at a later date? I only ask because I have a shot at a degree that may not be around in 4-8 years.
>>
>>30377621
I went cut lunch killer for a few years and into uni, from there I did a degree with about half of it under scholarship and into officers pig pen.
Reserves are handy because you'll soon figure out if the jokes for you, or its just going to hamper what you want to do in life- which is important to consider how long you intend to go into the military and what you're going to do after that. There's various trades, technical and other relevant management skills you can pick up along the way.

Peacetime sucks in the military, but its pro being that you get time to train and that was something we struggled to do sometimes between tours.

Any way we go on our patrol do our thing its all a buzz in the FOB about it. So naturally rank decide to have a meeting about it and we were all told it was nothing and to not speak of it any more.

>ARMED FORCES
No, no, I was in the Navy, not the real military.

The Navy (with a few notable exceptions, like pilots, Marine corpsmen, seals, seabees, etc) is basically a military fetishists club where people sit at fucking desks all day and pretend that they're saving democracy by pushing paper. There are some jobs where people bust their asses all day and night to ensure an important job gets done, but I always thought aircraft painters who called themselves warfighters were really stretching it. Working 16 hour days doing unskilled labor doesn't mean you're a warfighter, it means you're poor and broke. It's a job that needs doing for the benefit of their country, and they should be rewarded for that; hence, the GI Bill. But they shouldn't (and I don't) tell people they were in OIF/OEF as if they were riding around Fallujah, just because they got the fucking ribbons.

The other thing that always pissed me the fuck off was how much of the upper chain of command were ignorant, lazy, unqualified bastards who had gained rank by joining a peacetime Navy and then constantly refusing to stop reenlisting. They gained rank in the corporate Navy while barely doing any damned work, and then acted like they fucking earned it.

Timppa saatana. About the trucks being left unlcoked, drivers are told to leave the doors open and keys in the ignition so that other people can move or take the vehicle if they get the order.

They've recently dropped requirements.
Beep test is now a paltry 7 - I did a 10 with a BMI a hair under 30.

2CDO has a higher fitness entry requirement, including pull ups, but overall (as it is direct entry) you are bound to find the exact same mix of retards.

To be honest, if you're going in career, consider officer - enlisted is not the place for everyone.

So, any ex-mil guys have bleeding when you wipe your ass? Picrelated, 40% of people get them, even more prevalent in ex-military. Go to the doc and get it dealt with.

Go see your Primary Care Physician, tell him/her what's going on, they'll send you to a surgical specialist, and they'll shove a rubber band gun up your ass to make the thing die, clot, and fall out. No anesthesia involved, but you may want a ride home the first time. I went into "pelvic floor muscle spasms," which are basically man-contractions. Best treated with a hot bath and several cold beers. Surgery's only necessary if it's way too close to the outside (too many nerve endings).

There's a literal sandpit and they make you exercise in it until you're completely exhausted, called "smoking"

When I was in Basic for the Army, we used to get smoked in our war room, and the walls would literally have water running down them from all the sweat in the room. Guys would be slipping and falling all over because the floor was coated in it as well.

Not mine but one of my grandpa's old stories
>be granddad
>go to sign up for navy but get swooned by another recruiter into joining the Marines
>in basic
>standing at attention
>hot as fuck out
>flies buzzing everywhere
>grandpa thinks he's out of sight of the DI, so he smacks a fly that was buzzing on his neck
>"GRANDANON! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TRYING TO DO TO MY CORP" or some thing along those lines
>"sir, this recruit was hsving problems with this fly, sir" or something similar
>apperently, the DI took the fly in both of his hands and said with a sad voice "this fly was my best friend...we have to have a funeral..."
>makes grandpa dig a grave for a couple hours in scalding hot weather as the rest of his unit have to stand out there with him in the heat
>grandpa puts fly in and fills the hole back up
>DI says "wait a minute!...I didn't get to say goodbye... :( "
>Grandpa has to dig the hole back up, retrieve the fly so the DI can say his goodbyes, then refill the hole
>other recruits threaten to beat the shit out of him if he does something stupid like that again

DI's for the marine Corp in the 60's were brutal af, my grandpa only ever told me of one other thing stupid he did and it was right at the beginning of basic, like orientation I think

basically myself and a few privates (lowest on totem pole) were ordered by a sergeant first class (E-7) to call our sergeant (E-5) a prick and order him to help us. Should we disobey orders we get fucked by the E-7 so we do it and get fucked by the E-5 while the E-7 watches and laughs.

Chief gets us off the ship so us mid guys don't have to stay an extra hour for drills... on the way out we pass an ensign who isn't even old enough to shave yet... my guys and me salute the ensign, our Chief does not... ensign tries to call him out, Chief tells him to fuck off... Chief remains our enlisted hero...

>SRW notices shiteating grin on SROs face, asks wtf he's so happy about
>"this time tomorrow, I'm going to be a civilian"
>SRO tells OB about how, 20 minutes earlier, a man had come walking in in a suit and tie
>Admiral Hyman Rickover, the father of Naval Nuclear Power, and the head of Naval Reactors, hated wearing a uniform, and was instantly recognizable, even in a suit
>SRO turned to him and said "step back out, and ask permission to enter"
>Rickover: "Son, do you know who I am?"
>SRO: "I don't care who you are, step back out, and ask permission to enter"
>Rickover: "Son, I'm going to ask you one last time, do you know who I am?"
>SRO: "And I'm going to tell YOU one last time, get the hell out of my space, or I'll call forward to security and have you THROWN out!"

You can't transfer from enlisted to officer without an incredible exception after years and years of work - read up on enlisted and commissioned responsibilities before you make your decision.

Check again, army direct entry PFA is 7.5, 10.1 for 2CDO/Divers.
It's much lower for other forces.

Fuckin' A that's depressing. Truth be fuckin' told, when I found out later that a) none of the contract is binding until you swear at MEPS, and I could have walked away, and b) you have 90 days to peace the fuck out, I was PISSED. Bunch of fucking drug dealers, gang bangers, and general absolute fuckheads. I joined the Navy nuclear program because I liked science, tech, and boats. Most people join the Navy because they have no ambition, want to get the fuck away from home, and are afraid to actually bleed. My boot camp division was at least half cowards from various ghettos, who nonetheless decided to act like fucking tough guys.

What... This is a problem I have sometimes it's like I wipe and the TP looks like a used pad and I can smell the blood. I joked it was because uncle sam kept fucking me but is this actually a problem caused from military stuff?

Was so bad one time I was openly bleeding into the toilet, fuckin red oshit.jpg

From basic course:
> Back at base after home leave
> Get assigned to base-cleaning detail instead of class
> It's me, plus a bunch of girls on a hot morning. So naturally, all the labor falls on me
> When done, the NCO gives me an hour brake
> See my roommates waiting for me in the barracks because they got 10 minute brake from class and there's only one Key
> Tell them to leave the key under the tile in the hallway (our secret key stash) cause I'm going for a long shower
> The fuckers didn't leave the key
> 15 minutes until class starts and all I got is towell and flipflops
> Think I see one of my buds near the infirmary
> It's middle of the base and it started training, but everybody is in classes, so fuck it- Im making the run
> Fuck, it's not him
> I start running back, when I see 2 female officers going down the road in my direction, so I cut to the left through the mud behind the officer's barracks and around mine
> Maybe I can get in through the window, but I need a ladder to 2nd floor
> I run to the discipline NCO's office (the one who gave me the brake)
> It was empty, so I got in and grabbed the ladder
> He suddenly enters, and sees me there; wet, half naked with only towel at my waist, covered with mud and crazed look in my eyes-trying to his ladder
> I freeze in utter dread
> The most feared figure in base stands in front of me, and falls to the floor, rolling with laughter
> I grab the towel that fell in one hand, the ladder in the other and run past him
> Climbed in my room, changed to uniform, jumped out and got to class seconds before my CO entered the other door.

The NCO couldn't Keep a straight face for another 2 weeks when passing by me during morning flag raising.

That's it. Think I already posted this one some time ago. Got "war is hilarious" one from later in the service if anybody is interested. It's kinda opsec-ish, but I think I can work around the confidential parts.

> You're Fucking kidding me
> Make contact with officer again

> I even don't any longer...
> Some time passes
> "Do you have it?"
> -"yes, we got ofg the back of 2 Hamas guys that were escaping with it"
> "Hallelujah, I'm even too tired to mad as shit about this last part. Just make sure now, that the first soldier, tank, hamster, I don't care, that goes back into Israel will bring it with him"
> -"No problem, but only one problem..."
> "What?"
> -" A tank drove over it"
> "How?"
> -"A guy was guarding it, but he went to take a piss and left it on the road when a Merk drove by..."

I got it at the end: it was burned, smashed, broken to pieces and riddled with bullets.

"After the act invastigation" (or however you call it in English) managed to restore about 20% of the info that was on it. A professional private company probably could get 50%.
I knew, at least in theory back then, that something like that is possible and that's why I insisted that they will retrieve it.
And beyond that alone, it was a matter of principle of giving no spoils to the enemy; one that amplifies when dealing with terrorist group focused on high media signature and propoganda-based population control.
