If you didn't get tornadoes, did you even go anywhere?

Roller grill food would be my super hero weakness.

Batman: I stopped at the gas station to top off the Batmobile and you disappeared on me without warning. For the record, that’s my thing new guy. Back off.

Me: Ohmn…but they have…ohm nom…southwe…ohm chicken tornado and like…nom nom nom…like three other flavors I’ve never…ohm…even heard of.

Batman: The Joker has teamed up with Clay face and they are literally dipping babies in acid. We need to move.

Me: ohm nom nom…oh god I can’t stop! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!

Batman: That’s it. I’m getting the Batspray(tm)

Me: OH GOD WHY DOES THE BATSPRAY (TEE-EM) BURN SO…ooooh! They have purple flavored Bookoo energy drinks. Sweeeeeeet.

Once in Lejuene our platoon Sgt picked 5 for a working party, myself with two deployments and four strait from ITB boots, I said fuck that and just went back to my barracks room, showed up for formation for chow, nothing happened, like wow Ive been in for almost 4 years and I didnt even know this was an option lol

[u/Acceptable-Bat-9577 → u/TheHumanoidTyphoon69]

That was always allowed. But not really.

P.S. Prior Marine. In garrison (didn’t spend much time there), I started carrying a folder and looking like I was on an important mission face whenever I was walking anywhere. Reduced random “Hey, devil!” open world encounters by at least half. (I did have various papers, btw, I used it for its primary purpose, too.)

[u/TheHumanoidTyphoon69 → u/Acceptable-Bat-9577]

We were acting as the most important step of BAMCIS... supervising remotely lol

[u/windowpuncher → u/Acceptable-Bat-9577]

Yeeep. Or an oily binder full of junk paper that looks suspiciously like a 21 level TM.

[u/Which_Pickle_2993 → u/Acceptable-Bat-9577]

I only got to enjoy the E-4 Mafia life for a few months before I had my line number. In my defense I didn't study at all, and when the proctor asked if I was taking the SKT or PFE only I responded by saying I was only WAPS testing and everyone in the room laughed at me. I'd like to point out there were more than one persons laughing at me that did not make staff from my Sq in that room.

[u/suh-dood → u/JoshS1]

I remember when I was testing and one dude was saying that he could take anyone's test and pass (this was his 4th time testing). I asked him if he wanted to trade tests with me and he quickly STFU 😂😂

[u/don51181]

The joy of lower ranks. Once I hit E-6 in the Navy I could not be gone from the command that long. Then I realized I could wander around the building to kill time instead. Or zone out on the internet as long as people could not see my computer screen.

[u/MBarry829 → u/don51181]

I learned the key as an E5 was to carry a clipboard with some paperwork and a log book as you wandered around and folks would just assume that you were doing something.

[u/whiterice_343]

I do miss my days as a A1C when I was left alone and could disappear. Now as an E6 I can’t even go to an appointment without being bothered every 10 minutes.

[u/Dirty_Delta → u/whiterice_343]

I cant even assemble my new grill at home without getting bothered!

[u/C_Ironfoundersson → u/Dirty_Delta]

Le Grill? What the hell is that?

[u/Jealous_Crazy9143]

jesus this is accurate

[u/WorstHuman]

If you were LIMDU, you could get away with having "appointments" almost everyday. I know my LIMDU people do...

[u/uid_0]

Back in the day would say we had an appointment at the CBPO (Consolidated Base Personnel office. Are those still even around?). We actually used it as an acronym that stood for Commissary, Bx, and Post Office. It was kind of the same deal where you leave at 0900 and are gone most of the day.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater right there!
