lol
the only real crime at my lai was the rapes tbh
any effective counterinsurgency will involve overwhelming violence against hostile civilians and history always forgives winners
smoke checking 3 guys on a bike racing at you head on is a bit relative to "war crime" when mylai massacre is on the same list
Clint Lorance's whole platoon pretty much testified he was a giant homosexual who just wanted a CIB. He'd been in charge only a few days, and was over the top with his attempts to initiate a TIC.
>14 that belong to German prisoners of war executed for the murder of fellow POWs
why are Germans like this?
Britain executed 5 Germans at Pentonville Prison because they beat an english speaking German sergeant major to death with iron bars for reading out loud an English language newspaper article stating the Battle of Bulge was turning against the germans and opining that the war might soon end in German defeat.
I would rather be a radar operator with a job critical to actually defending the country from chink ICBMs than be a 19 year old 11B fricking my knees up
Mileage varies. I loved my Korea time. Really depends if you decide to go out and explore the country, or if you just mope around in "the Ville" (slang term for the collection of shops/restaurants/bars immediately off a US military post that cater primarily to Americans) and get drunk in the barracks for a year. Command teams there can kinda suck nuts, and people get in trouble easy because most generally are thousands of miles away from their families (there's limited housing in Korea for dependents, so most people go there alone).
But if you give it a whirl, there's a bunch of stuff to see and the food can be really good.
Fricking Korean sloots isn't as easy as you'd think. South Korean women can be kind of stuck up. Gotta give it some work, though they're less of degenerate prostitutes than your average Western women.

well they're also a bit cautious of the dozens of convicted american rapists coming off the base at Osan

Yeah. Back in the 80s this LT was in charge of a secret weapons program. Long story short he accidentally led his unit into Czechoslovakia and they got captured and were going to be executed as spies until some of their comrades went on an unsanctioned rescue mission. When they got back to the States, the LT got reassigned to Alaska as punishment.
Nah. You'll get something shitty like in Missouri or Alabama. Alaska is surprisingly nice because low cost of living it's beautiful, the weather is cold but pretty stable and there alot things to do.
Long story short, where you get assigned next is just the decision of some bureaucrat at Human Resources Command. You tell them what your preferences are, and they cut you orders based on the billets they have available. It's not like the movies where your career gets micromanaged based on performance.
>but muh friend
Yes, small exceptions to this exist. For example, expedited transfers to other posts or units can occur under extraordinary circumstances like a substantiated sexual assault investigation. They typically reassign the VICTIM, not the perpetrator.
You know where they actually send you when you frick up? To the S3 shop. Maybe to S4 if you're really a frick up. My first unit had a dude who straight up got busted with child porn; he worked in S4 until his court martial was concluded. But most casual frick ups? They give you some job in S3 where in theory you can't do much damage. But in practice, since you're usually a lazy piece of shit, you'll absolutely ruin everything you touch.
A staff section that exists at the Battalion/Brigade level (at higher echelons it will typically be a "G" or "J" depending on the command; so G3 or J3).
In US parlance, S3 is "Plans and Operations" (plans and operations are doctrinally supposed to be separate functions, S5 for plans and S3 for operations, but most units consolidate them).
S3 in practice handles most of the day to day minutiae of running a unit. S3 will have a bunch of different people, each of whom handles a very specific administrative function for the unit. For example, the "Land and Ammo" person handles making requests for ammunition and reserving training areas/ranges for future training events. The "Schools" person handles getting soldiers enrolled in various military training schools. In Airborne units, you'll have an "Air NCO" who handles people's jump logs, and coordinates/books air assets to support missions.
You may be noticing that some of these functions seem like they could potentially have high impact if done incorrectly. While putting an incompetent moron SSG in charge of an infantry squad is a recipe to get a bunch of people killed (and thus a military leader might choose to dump him in S3 to get rid of him), it sure is fricking annoying when this waste of life is the "Land and Ammo" NCO and suddenly it's 10 times harder to get ammo because he fricked up the paperwork a few too many times and now the base's Ammo Supply Point (ASP) won't let you draw the quantities you need.
(This isn't an exhaustive list of things S3 does by the way, they have tons of different positions that handle different things. Plenty of places to put warm bodies who can then make shit 20 times harder for everyone else)
Honestly, minus the filming it part, you always get one fat E-6 who is coasting out to retirement in S3 that believes QAnon-esque crap, and will totally talking about how "in his day" the Army wasn't full of queers like Mark Milley. Plus maybe some of other stuff you'd find on InfoWars or deranged boomer-tier conspiracy theories.
I worked on Wainwright for 2 years as a civilian. Alaska (especially Fairbanks) is an...acquired taste. It's the most beautiful state in the country by a mile, and if you want to be left alone, there's no better place. On the other side, it can be depressing, between the dark winters and the drunk/drugged up natives. >Still, going outside for a smoke in -30 degrees in the 2 hours of daylight during the winter watching F-16s do touch-and-go landings at the airstrip a few hundred yards away was pretty fricking cool.
anything that makes a thin barrier from the wind
lanolin on noise
lanolin/vaseline mix on ears, forehead, neck
crotch is to prevent sweat/condensation freezing up there

out how to change all the screen savers on post >> got dared to change it >> changed all the screen savers on post "FRICK YOU CO of the base" >> sent to FT. Wainwright
My dad's buddy that we hunted with in Georgia was MP or some shit in Alaska and fricking loved it. Of course he was an avid outdoorsman so there's that..
No, they also send you to other miserable duty stations too. Many people actually like Alaska.
If you really frick up you get permanently re-assigned to Leavenworth Kansas.

Not the first time an american war criminal escaped punishment due to a president.

They were also able to tie them to a terrorist cell iirc.
Of course they were, after they planted ak’s or radios on the bodies
Trying to obstruct inquiries into it and threatening witnesses and assorted locals, however, are both rather indicative of foul play.
the only real crime at my lai was the rapes tbh

We all know he only got in trouble for obstruction
Clint Lorance's whole platoon pretty much testified he was a giant homosexual who just wanted a CIB. He'd been in charge only a few days, and was over the top with his attempts to initiate a TIC.
At least he didn't kill any actual people.

lmfao i gotta hand it to these guys they are based morons, i cant imagine being so committed to any ideology
That's 100% based, they're in Valhalla.
They'll send you there to be a pog radar operator even if you did nothing wrong.
I would rather be a radar operator with a job critical to actually defending the country from chink ICBMs than be a 19 year old 11B fricking my knees up
One of my buddies is going there after he failed selection so yeah
It sounds kinda chill though
If you really frick up they send you to Fort Polk
I thought Alaska was the coveted shangri-la of the E-4 mafia
korea, fort polk, fort hood, le jeune are the fricked places
>Korea
?
I heard Korea was sweet. Good food, easy duty, hot asn bawds with white fever.
Mileage varies. I loved my Korea time. Really depends if you decide to go out and explore the country, or if you just mope around in "the Ville" (slang term for the collection of shops/restaurants/bars immediately off a US military post that cater primarily to Americans) and get drunk in the barracks for a year.

Korea is literally ruled by a misandrist moon cult.
So like everything in the military, what you get out is what you put in?
Yeah. Back in the 80s this LT was in charge of a secret weapons program. Long story short he accidentally led his unit into Czechoslovakia and they got captured and were going to be executed as spies until some of their comrades went on an unsanctioned rescue mission. When they got back to the States, the LT got reassigned to Alaska as punishment.
Razzle Dazzel
>LT
>accidentally led his unit into Czechoslovakia
Calm down, Francis
Where do they send you to if you do a good job?
Congress
Hawaii or Italyp
Nah. You'll get something shitty like in Missouri or Alabama. Alaska is surprisingly nice because low cost of living it's beautiful, the weather is cold but pretty stable and there alot things to do.
>low cost of living
Certainly not at Fairbanks lmfao
This place is gorgeous though
>ITT, never serveds

thank you for you and your child porn addict friend's service
Wut is an S3 shop
A staff section that exists at the Battalion/Brigade level (at higher echelons it will typically be a "G" or "J" depending on the command; so G3 or J3).
In US parlance, S3 is "Plans and Operations" (plans and operations are doctrinally supposed to be separate functions, S5 for plans and S3 for operations, but most units consolidate them).

(This isn't an exhaustive list of things S3 does by the way, they have tons of different positions that handle different things. Plenty of places to put warm bodies who can then make shit 20 times harder for everyone else)
What person at S3 is responsible for making videos demanding shells and calling the defence minister and head of the army homosexuals?
Honestly, minus the filming it part, you always get one fat E-6 who is coasting out to retirement in S3 that believes QAnon-esque crap, and will totally talking about how "in his day" the Army wasn't full of queers like Mark Milley. Plus maybe some of other stuff you'd find on InfoWars or deranged boomer-tier conspiracy theories.

No, Schofield Barracks.
Kek, many such cases apparently
Worse. They send you to Fort Polk.

Nice
JBER is goated
I just arrived at Ft. Wainwright.
AMA
Do you have a hand knitted wiener sock for your junk like Prince Harry, to prevent it getting frostbite and falling off?
No, but I keep hearing this is something I should do and to get Merino Wool
oil on your face and your crotch
plastic vapor barrier layer imbetween socks
mylar/thermal reflective lining on bottom of boots
>oil on your face and your crotch
What kind?
anything that makes a thin barrier from the wind
lanolin on noise
lanolin/vaseline mix on ears, forehead, neck
crotch is to prevent sweat/condensation freezing up there
For the face, you just want moisturizer or something, it's acting as a chap stick but for your whole face. You'll know why if you don't use it.
Alaska is literally the most prestigious military base in the nation. Only the most elite soldiers get stationed there
Ft Wainwright isnt bad at all, just dont be a pussy about the cold, and dont be a lazy frick in the barracks
