You know shits about to go down when the military ads are fire

They forgot the part about sweeping the motorpool and having an alcoholic 22 year old divorced dude chew you out at 05 for having trash in the trash can in your barracks room.

They are showing 1% of the life while 99% is safety stand down days, PowerPoint classes, motor pool, maintenence, drinking on the weekends, throwing beer pong on the weekends, and alot of sitting around not training lol

my life in the army infantry is other people's jobs and details

[kimjansson]

They forgot to show them cleaning the same thing 3 days in a row. That's more realistic.

I was in the Marines, but we were privileged to work with Army Special Forces in the Uharrie National Forest in North Carolina back in the 70's. Very professional outfit. We actually wore civilian clothes role playing indigenous forces that the Green Berets organized for guerilla warfare. I really enjoyed the time we spent with them. Most of them had been in Vietnam and had some pretty cool stories to tell.

You should show them unloading a connex and moving all the crap to another connex only to be told that all the stuff you just moved has to go back to the connex you just moved it from.

they forgot about the 3 hour police call we conduct

My life in the military consisted of arriving at the office at 6am, unlocking, turning on the lights and getting the 2 gallon coffee pot going. My day consisted of typing various memos, promotion papers, duty rosters and other mechanics that keep a company running smoothly. My schedule would be interspersed with trips to Division headquarters to pick up top secret messages, trips to the base post office to pick up the company mail and then sorting said mail. Throw in Thursday afternoon weapons cleaning at the armory, because we had to stand inspection every Friday morning after running our weekly 3 mile run. Once a month I had 24 hour guard duty, usually at the armory and one week of mess duty every 6 months. Periodic gas mask exercises in the CS gas chamber was always fun, as was the yearly Intra Mural Rifle and Pistol Matches, which I was always "volunteered" for. Three or four times a year I'd check out my folding portable office from it's storage at the supply shack and restock the forms, carbon copy sheets, pencils and pens and various other office implements I'd need for a week in the bush during maneuvers. The night before deployment was spent stuffing my rucksack with uniforms, toiletries, mess kit, first aid kit and just about everything you thought you'd need, but trying to keep it light. I still had to roll up my blanket and shelter half poles in my shelter half and strap it to the top of the ruck. Most of the time I felt like I was driving to a normal 10 hour day job, working in an office, with small excursions or errands to break up the monotony. Weekends were usually spent with the wife at our trailer off base, maybe grilling with some buds and sucking down some cold ones or driving to her mother's house for the weekend. Mostly it was just a regular job. USMC 1972 to 1976!
