Guest Grayfox Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 yep... all those sgts need when they get out of a D.I. unit is to be humbled a bit. we had one as well, our first sgt squared his ass away real quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d8alus Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 My first platoon sgt came straight from being an RI and had NO experience in leading a platoon. That was a blast. He called everyone 'Ranger' and expected us to all be hardcore. I had so much fun with him that I took a week off without permission. Probably not the smartest way to handle it, but I did get transferred to another company when I came back. (Edit) The worst part about it is that he, understandably, hated my guts. Then, 3 years later when I was a CPL getting ready to ETS, guess who became my company's new 1SG? Boy was he pissed to see me with stripes!

Romale Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 ohh and dont know if anyone mentioned these two trix or not but an e5 friend of mine did this to his new 2lt, had him mark the weak spots in the commander's tank's armor with white chalk, then later sent him out to get a exhaust sample in a plastic bag (for those of you who dont know about m1a2 they have a jet turbine engine in them puts off really hot exhaust melts through the bag very fast) when he finaly got one he sent him back because it was cold and it had to be a hot sample, and then finaly he did that pricky e 8 thing y'all mentioned earlier, lt went right into the officer with commander/1sgt there and asked for it, laughed about that one for a week, then we uhh re distrubted the doors of his hmmvw, think the captain actualy made him pay for the doors too lots of fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grayfox Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 quote:had him mark the weak spots in the commander's tank's armor with white chalk LMFAO!!!! i forgot about that one... we had cherry's do that, but we would have them hit the track with a rubber mallet looking for weak spots and then marking them with a white chalk x... too funny. and i know it gets hot there. im originally from vegas, and ive also done 3 summer NTC rotations, so i feel for you. have fun and keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
