Anonymous asked: I saw one of your vids and read the description saying you were cross dominant. Do you primarily shoot with your right or left hand?

I need to put myself in for a Silver Star. I spent 2 hours last night and 5 hours this evening helping a pair of specialists writing a one paragraph sworn statement for a sigact that lasted less than an hour. I definantly contemplated suicide a few times, LT was about to join me too.
Highlights include
*medic back - MEDEVAC
*muscle flash - muzzle flash
*humvee - HMMWV
I managed to write my...

‘The shower was so cold that my dick shriveled up and was fucking me in the ass’
-Gary
The dementia is setting in
When I first got here I’d forget my towel going to the shower or I’d wear my flip flops instead of shower shoes into the shower. Occasionally I forget my ID going to the chow hall and have to run back for it.
Coming back from breakfast this morning I knew something wasn’t right. I reach down to flip the safety on my nine… hahaha I’m unarmed. I went for a good hour...

When I was flying from Ireland into Kuwait City,
We were come in on our final approach. A couple miles from the runway our pilot changes his heading to due east and levels out the the plane. We are heading back out over the ocean. While we looped around the intercom came on, ‘This is your captain from the flight deck, we are having a slight problem. We are unable to extend our flaps for landing. We’re going into a holding pattern and...

I was hanging out in our PRT office at BAF. The LNO had stepped out to run his POA to the post office and I was holding down the fort while he was gone. I was kicking back reading a book when a USMC Lt Colonel walked through the door. I jumped up, said hi, asked him how he was doing and what I could do for him. He made some comment about me not being a Marine, it went completely over my head at...

Still at square one
Getting really fired up. SSG Ish who I thought was my friend gave me some intel. After someone fucked with my AC I locked up the box that houses the circuit breaker. Ish told me that someone had cut that lock with the bolt cutters (After we talked I checked and confirmed it). Also there are people that are putting down my paperwork for my CIB. They are saying my statement was falsified and I...

On my way to the gym, “Hey we got an opord at 15”. Half an hour before the opord. I just finished changing and I took my preworkout 45 min ago and it’s kicking in. Now I have to sit here and wait a half hour then sit in the room for a half hour. My supplements will be out of my system and I’m going to be in no mood to work out go straight to chow then straight to my second...

Wait? There’s no money? They lied to me. Yes there is an increase in your housing allowance but it doesn’t cover your extra expenses. Especially when it comes to kids.

The highlight of my evening was when the commander sat down with us for chow. Initially I was like ‘fuck’ I just finished and I don’t want to wait for you but leaving would be more disrespectful. So we’re sitting down and he asks The PSG if he’s heard of the manamana song (The Muppets). He’s never heard of it and neither has the SSG sitting next to him. So he...

Out of it
Yesterday morning I was in the latrine shaving. There’s other people around me talking. Out of nowhere I hear ‘Wes… Wes… Wes’. It’s my commander. He says good morning. He gives me the normal ‘Hey, Good morning’ I explain to him that I wasn’t fully awake and apologized for not initially responding to him.
Tonight I was going through the salad...
Who did I piss off? I’m not catching any good breaks.
1st mission today I had to shut down my truck because a belt was smoking on a stuck pulley.
2nd mission the AC compressor went and blew the freon all over the engine. Not to mention the ride home was hot as balls
While inspecting the truck after the freon blew, the my watch got caught on the hood latch and snapped off. Initially I...
Passive aggression
I wrote the guard watch for the day. A SSG failed to report for guard at 0700. at 0710 I knocked on his door. After no response I tried to enter the room but the door was locked. I checked the trucks again to make sure he wasn’t out there. I watched the trucks until 0730 when LT came out and said the guns should come in. I believed it to just be a short passing shower. I saw the SSG come out...
Edgy
I don’t mind when people steal most of my laundry for a week. I don’t mind it when somebody takes the circuit breaker out of the power supply so my AC doesn’t work for two days.
Then all the added shit with my truck. Now I know someone is fucking with me. It’s not a haha fucking with. It’s a this guy and his team may die fucking with. It’s bullshit. I am so...
There is a little leprechaun that comes and visits my truck every night. Two days in a row the switches and buttons on my electronics have been changed from their normal operating positions. One day everything works great, the next day I can’t get the systems to work. It would be funny if I didn’t need the stuff but being able to talk to people and jam some freqs is a big deal.
GO...
My upper leadership...
I wish I they went to the Army school of common sense before they took a command position in Afghanistan.
Read the doctrine. There are rules / text book scenarios and then it is followed by an assessment of how your situation compares to an ideal situation and then you apply common sense so that to get a decent solution.
It only took 6 months
but I finally got to see a camel in person

While I'm on my rant
I hate all anti-Afghan and anti-Muslim statements. Do you know who watches in the towers that secure our American FOBs? Who prepares and serves food for service members? Who guards the gates? Who searches everything coming on and off our bases? Who cuts the soldier’s hair? Who sells local novelties to troops? Who translates between soldiers and locals? … I’ll give you a hint, not...

I won’t know until I pull the trigger.
I’m not going to give you some bullshit gung-ho, hooah, kill answer.
But I can tell you that I hate them with every burning fiber in my body. To me, they aren’t human. They’re nothing more than a waste of food and oxygen. Once you’ve seen videos of insurgents beheading people, shooting women for breaking bullshit laws, or crashing four airplanes...
