Lmao. I remember meeting my friend's father in law during AIT. He is a CW5 and in uniform.
He was working at the BAMC in Ft Sam too
Steelbar? must have gotten a lot of respect.
Hell yea.
I've talked with him a second time on my friend's face chat. Dude scares me even though he was chill AF
He works with his long time friend a full bird COL
Our CWs were cool with me. I spotted one of my old ones on my contact list, and she has one of those snap chat dog face overlays on her contact picture now.
I had a CW2 worried about the "white stuff" (my itch cream) during lunch today lmao. He thought I was sick or something.
During the recent block leave, I was doing Brigade Staff CQ duty. Our BDE Com, Colonel, drops in. 30 minutes later, 1 Star comes by.
uht oh.
Cool guy. He just dropped in to ask us to collect soldiers not on leave and those living in the barracks.
Told us a 23 a day story. Soldier committed suicide in barracks during Xmas and wasnt found until two weeks later.
Worse day in the army I was on CQ and a soldier tried to commit suicide durring lunch hour
That's why with my training as Behavioral Health, I want to be able to help soldiers.
I got a good NCO to teach me.
Good CPTs and civilian contractors
Never made E-5 but I tought soldiers to be NCOs
With my NCO, I'm to act like an NCO (not like a real one but the qualities and holding myself accountable).
So it's weird being around other lower enlisted sometimes. I've seen a different world under him.
A lot of soldiers here don't get that kind of experience.
My second tour was a INF Div HHBN, and a bunch of PVTs out of the school house that I got for "Training them up" are now NCOs
That's good stuff to hear. I have to hit NCO ASAP because my current NCOIC will PCS sometime soon after our deployment to Germany this year. Taking on his responsibilities.
Good luck with the board
My SGT and I are the only enlisted soldiers in the entire brigade's clinic.
Two CPts and some civies that's it.
It's a lot to take on.
A mere PV2
I was a terminal SPC.
Terminal?
I ended up MEDBOARDed
Aww shit
"Lottery ticket" non-combat disability injury.
I don't know much about MEDBOARD but you get compensation from the Army?
VA Claim was approved before I left post
I know this guy who was at AIT was medboard with something like 90% disability for mental issues. He said he will get something around 2k dollars from the Army every month.
He was stuck there for two years
I wrecked my knees and now use a cane.
Last year in uniform the PVTs learned to fear my cane
When you've been in for a good minute, you can turn anything into fear.
Oh and working Division HQ CSM and Stars were holding the doors for me.
