It’s been almost 6 years and the fact I got two counselings for going to my behavioral health and medical appointments still make me irrationally angry.

[HisDudeness]

You hit it right on the nail and this is one major reason why I hated being a line medic. Show up to troop sick call at 0530 every morning and wait for soldiers, who were brave enough to get seen, then determine if they needed to see the PA at the clinic. Once that determination was made, I had to give notice to the PSG or PL, who would then ask a million questions as to why and how it prevented them from doing PT. If I got the ok from them, then I had to get sign-off from the 1SG who was also going to ask the same million questions. Soldiers brave enough would fight tooth and nail, articulating their reasons to justifiably seek medical help, while senior leadership fought tooth and nail to prevent them from doing so.

And don’t get me started on getting bitched at for helping soldiers who got hurt or not helping them before leadership discovered they were injured at the instant it happened.

Not to be total fucking buzzkill, but this is exactly why I lost more brothers to suicide than combat. Marine Corps hates anyone seeking help.

This is how my friend lost a lung to untreated pneumonia.

Worst experience with sick call. I wanted to go to sick call for shoulder pain. I was fresh out of the hospital from the friendly fire incident, so going to sick call to make sure I was healing well seemed right.

Platoon leader Okayed it, as I was heading there with my battle buddy, we got stopped. Old 1st sgt from another unit. Demanded to know where we were going. Explained it to him. Had us starting doing pushups because "only weaklings go to sick call".

Shoulder dislocated on the second three count. Told I was faking. Grabbed my shoulder and squeezed. The only way to descibe the pain is the worlds fattest needles fishing around in fleah. The scream attracted medical, who luckily had an officer with them. I was taken to sick call. Put in a sling after my shoulder was relocated. That 1st sgt never got in trouble. I was to "quietly drop the whole incident".

Trades are like this too. I worked for an old timer who stuffed his Triumph under a suburban on the interstate and he was back to work in a wheelchair a couple days later completely against the doctors orders . So asking for a sick day or a day to go to the doctor for anything that wasn’t motorcycle accident serious was completely impossible

I'm finally realizing. This is military Dilbert in video form. These shorts are all gold.

This is why I tell my sailors just text me in the morning and if you need to go you need to go just keep me in the loop. My job as an E5 is to take the ass chewing. I have no problem standing up to those of higher rank. I don't do fuck fuck games and I don't do busy work.

[ricolorenz]

You have to see them at 4 in the morning, but they don't show up to work until 8:30

[blaznskais]

Yeah had a young buck sgt that was all about throwing his rank around and I told him I had to go to medical. He starts playing 20 questions about what’s wrong and can I just get some meds from the px, am I sure I need to go. Finally I just told I’m “I don’t think you understand how sick call works sgt. I’m not asking you if I can go. I’m telling you I’m going” and wouldn’t you know it I went and got quarters because I was legitimately sick.

[DanielCrandall-wdbz]

I like how when I was super sick and should have been in bed recovering I had to get up and like 430am to meet my NCO so he could sign the sick call permission slip to allow me to go to sick call so I could be excused from doing PT because I was sick and needed to recover at home. Like why did I need permission to be sick? And after all this misery of being sick, getting up before the sun and waiting around at sick call to be seen, they ask you questions like, do you have thoughts of harming yourself or others....

[dgeneeknapp]

And in AIT, you have to walk across the base in whatever weather to even GO to sick call.... after you walk to your CQ building to get permission... which bis on the other side of the base from the medical facility from your barracs.

[nelsblair]

This is a volunteer army and mostly male, we don’t sick out for kicks. If we lean into sick call, it’s likely (greater than 50%) that we have multiple diagnosable conditions. True for me.

[Repackrider]

It’s really shows through thousands of example that, no matter how bad life may seem, the military is not really the best option.

[Willysmb]

Yeah, even as LT, I got sent to JRTC rotation when I had bronchitis so bad I could hardly believe. Got called a malingerer when I was IN THE HOSPITAL BED at Fort Polk by the XO of the unit I was there to support. He has no idea to this day that I SERIOUSLY contemplated if a court martial would be worth my beating him to death. It's one of many such events that led me to seek life elsewhere later

"Why was this rule made?!"
"Carl kept stubbing his toe and going for sick call."
"Just one guy?!"



"There are a lot of Carls."

I LOVE this channel! Strangely enough it makes me miss the Corps every time I watch these shorts.

[double_scatpack]

I was on a selection course years ago and broke a couple toes. It was easier taping them and avoiding the field medics so I didn't get yelled at.

[AltOfTiberius]

The doctor told me “I routinely come in with the runs and throwing up, so you should go to work too” 30 seconds before examining me without a glove
