January 5, 200421 yr Is it? I'd heard it reported as true story from shortly after WWII. Could be a military legend, tho. Kinda like "Lucky Bill" the pilot from the Korean Conflict.
January 5, 200421 yr Hey look daddy! a fagass canadian is trying to be cool again! :bounceban gg maintsteam :sackrider
January 5, 200421 yr quad...evidently you've never dealt with the military mind...lol we used to convince the 'cruits that part of PMCS on a bradley was to use a ballpeen hammer to check the reactive armor for soft spots...and they fell for it, usually. And flag officers (who command the big boats like carriers) DO tend to be that cocky...I've seen a colonel brag to a news reporter about how nasty the "silver bullet" (depleted urianium) round from an Abrahms is, pointing to a hole in a dead T-72 as "proof", then get pissed off at a lower officer who pointed to the guide wires running through the hole that proved it was a TOW missle that made the hole..cussed the captain out publicly, and told the reporter the captain didn't know shit, despite the fact that the colonel who did all this was an intelligence officer, and the captain in question was #1 an infantry officer, and #2, had been commanding the battle where the tank was killed...and the fact that there had been no Abrahms involved in the battle... It's actually a believable story, to anyone who's ever dealt with an officer who was ignorant and wrong, but THOUGHT he was in the right...which is most people who've ever been in...lol

January 5, 200421 yr :O_o: <------ SHIPY YUOR EYEBALL IS LOOSE K PLS FIX WITH TAPE OR SOMTHING BEORE IT GETS EATED
January 5, 200421 yr i hate to take away such excellent proof of american stupidity, but its not true http://snopes.com/military/lighthse.htm but even psychobud said that he wouldnt be surprised if it did, so i bet something similar has happened
January 5, 200421 yr I'm not saying that THAT report was true, Veil...I KNOW it didn't happen in '95, since that story was running around the military in '89-'92...and probably long before, as a "true story"...along with a few others. I dunno how many of them are literally true, but many of them are VERY believable, to anyone who's been in, and dealt with some of the stupid shit that goes on as a matter of routine. There's another one from Viet Nam era I find funny...dunno how true it is, but it's POSSIBLE...the story goes that a captain in the 82nd got fragged...CID investigated, and the "official findings" were supposedly that 62% of the enlisted men in the unit were found to be "criminally insane", 38% were found to be psychotically paranoid, and 42% were found to be unsuited for military duty, psychologically, while 12% were "functionally normal"...the rerason given for this totalling more than 100% is "some of these guys were REALLY fucked up!" Among the answers investigators supposedly got to "did you put the mine at the door of your commanding officer's tent?" were "I thought aboput it, but I was too tired to stand in line behind the rest of the guys." and "No...what makes you think it's anyone else's fault the dumbass pitched his tent in the middle of the mine storage area?" Probably military legend, but the way the story goes actually SOUNDS like typical enlisted man reactions.
January 5, 200421 yr "I thought aboput it, but I was too tired to stand in line behind the rest of the guys." :gaykekeke
January 5, 200421 yr hell, sp0rkeh, there's a reasonably famous one about one of the first guys to be accepted to SEAL school, when faced with the need to cross an olympic length swimming pool to qualify, carrying two buckets of rocks, to qualify, complicated by the fact he couldn't swim. The upshoot of it is, he walked across the bottom of the pool, lugging them, and survaced at the other end, half drowned...the instructor started cussing him out, and eventually got to the obligatory "what the fuck did you think you were doing, seaman?" line...to which the guy answered "I can't swim, Sir"...which supposedly stops the qualifying instructor in mid-ass-chewing (not an easy trick, I hear)...he stops yelling, jaw dropped, thinks for about three seconds, and says "well, shit, son...the Navy can fucking teach you to swim...welcome to BUD/S!" And I got myself put on detail a week into basic training, because my grandad had warned me about the "get me a box of grid squares" trick drill sargeants pull (cartography classes...the military uses maps with 1cm grids...the Drill leading the class traditionally picks the most smartass recruit and tells him to run to the supply sargeant and get a box of grid squares for making maps...since there is no such thing, the supply sargeant chews the recruit's ass for a while, and has him do pushups, then the recruit has to return to the drill empty handed, and report that he couldn't do what he was ordered to...which gives the drill an excuse to chew him a new asshole, drop him for pushups, and send him to another drill to report his "incompetance")...I managed to end up on detail (KP), with only one set of pushups, and one ass chewing, for beaing a "smartass"...I went to the supply sargeant, got four blank maps, and an ammo box, went to the trainign battalion office, and used the paper cutter to cut the maps into squares, and put the squares in the ammo box, and returned to the company area with them :smile: Wasn't the only time I managed to "smartass" a drill...but I paid for it during hand to hand and pugil stick training...the fuckers picked me for just about ever example, and pretty much beat the living shit out of me...I STILL figure it was worth it :wink:
January 6, 200421 yr "rofl its a true story. i looked it up after what psychobud said and it actually happened" post a link idiot
January 6, 200421 yr ANother funny one that I KNOW is true from the military...an officer's fitness report was once noted by his imediate superior "this man has great charisma, and little actual leadership ability...his men would follow him anywhere, but I suspect that it would be out of a morbid sense of curiosity"
