My Buddy went Army after Navy (he’s a state employee and they have very generous extra benefits if you are also in the National guard on top of the NG benefits)
We had a guy, let’s call him Daffy Duck. Every fucking night he would get up and start yelling trying to motivate our shitty division. During one of our trainings I told him that the RDCs made him the Divisional Motivational Petty Officer, and I began referring to him as the DMPO.
You too? I remember that! Not to mention us airing out our grievances lol. The girls got us in trouble a lot and the guys for whatever reason paid the price.
We even played a game like that. It was called “ass-ketball.” You had to shoot free throws into the empty space in between your stall-mate’s junk and the bowl. Our RDC caught us one time and was pretty damn speechless.
I remember having the aft watch one night an I laid on a empty rack an fell asleep. Woke up when the meanest of the 3 RDCs we had kicked the rack. I just knew I was going to get sent back to a division that was on day 1. They let it hang over my head for about a week, guess the Chief shut down the idea. Talk about walking on eggshells for week.
We had a total POS prior AF chick as our MAA. She fell asleep on rack as aft watch more than once and tried to claim she'd hit her head. She also took food out of the mess halls. I'm guessing they couldn't send her back or something. I ended up standing aft watch with her on forward watch on the 00-02 a bunch of times because they could only trust a couple of us to make sure she didn't pull that shit again. This was when you only slept from 22-04 and I'm one of those people that needs at least 8 hours a night to function. I was a zombie by graduation. I got yelled at a few times my last week in boot camp because I was just that dumb from lack of sleep.
Everyone always talking about motivational speeches at night but I'm just here thinking back when those lights went out everyone stfu and went to sleep
I remember they gave some kid with a speech impediment that job. "Sweepehs Sweepehs man youw bwooms, give this ship a cwean sweep down." Couldn't pronounce R's. So funny.
I was there when these were being built. My div spent the first part of boot in on of the original buildings, moved to a new building and watched the old one get smashed with a wrecking ball. Oddly, after boot most of us went back to an old building because Katrina had Jackson's was under water.
My recruits used to tell me they would just run down the center of the compartment sliding around in their socks and sit in the shower with their BH’s on the deck. Real team bonding shit I guess?
We had the night watcherstanders holler a code word when they saw roving RDCs walk by or enter another compartment. Everyone would stop writing letters or socializing and run to their racks lol
Man I wish I had footage of all the after taps kumbaya speeches. “Come on guys, we need team work to make the dream work”
Shut the fuck up I’m just trying to sleep. No one gives a fuck what you have to say

Had a guy yelling cadences while asleep. Liked that better than the guys trying to motivate us. Just shut up and let us sleep in step damnit.

It was always the last RPOC to get fired too. Like, bro, they fired you; you don’t matter anymore.
Hated those guys. Like dude, it's 23 and we gotta be up by 5, go the fuck to sleep.

I need these as a vet.
I remember have the division whistling the hunger games tune and the other half getting so butthurt about it
You're not coming together until the RDCs remove all the toilet curtains.
Wait people used the toilet curtains?

I can smell this picture
It smells like Fabulouso and Bleach
“This guy’s so new from boot camp that he still smells like Lever 2000.”
I can feel this picture. Feels like you've just been woken up at 1am so you can iron your uniforms.
Corn nuts, feet, and ass, with a hint of bleach. God I miss that smell 😩😩
Kramer would've been a Nuke Jerry would've totally been LS or some intelligence rate
George would be an OS, Elaine a YN.
As a former LS2, how dare you say beings which are entirely true?

I passed out in the middle of the floor on watch and used the book for a pillow.
Torres? Is that you?

Same thing happened to a guy in my division
If I had a dollar for every, "we gotta come together speech"

Get your cellphones out of bootcamp.
Red lights are the best
Team work makes the meme work
Team work makes the cream spurt.
this picture sounds like Lee Greenwood is about to start singing that dumb fucking song.
Oh man, I can’t listen to it to this day, 35 years later
Tapps, lights out, now tapps! That's when people fought out their problems, or rewashed extra laundry 🙄
Oh, very vivid memory I didn’t know I still had. Cool cool cool
Dude, you got to remember to warn people before you trigger them lol... 😂⚰️

I can still hear my fellow recruits screaming ears while I’m just trying to sleep
My recruits used to tell me they would just run down the center of the compartment sliding around in their socks and sit in the shower with their BH’s on the deck. Real team bonding shit I guess?
That can't be good for business. That can't be good for anyone.
Reveille reveille
Oh gawd. Taking my anxiety pills now!
"ooooohhhhhh Jerry, it's the phantom shitter Jerry."
