A SGM, on the Military Camp Buehring in Kuwait, had MP's snatch an O-3 Chaplain up out of his civilian PTs an into the paddy wagon for wearing headphones on post. One of the most iconic SGM pet peeves has come to fruition. nearly as well known as staying off the grass the no PT in headphones outside is on almost every US Military Post's ten commandments.

Here is one for you. SGM told us at the time "You can't wear your soft cap outside of the motorpool and you can't wear your beret in the motorpool." So we had to bring our berets and soft caps with us every day.
Been there. 😁
True story...ours did that too.
this is what im talking about

I imagine a bunch of mechanics carrying a backpack full of clothes with them like a bunch of silly goobers.
SGM: For safety reasons, in this winter, you have to wear a scarf.
CPL: Respectfully, sir, I have to use the plasma torch.
SGM: I don't see how that's relevant, now put on the scarf!
CPL (1 hour later): 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You should mention the other chaplain picked him up.

Blackwater contractor runs route next to airfield.
US Army LtCol sees contractor running without reflective belt and while wearing ear buds.
US Army LtCol pursues blackwater contractor.
US Army LtCol catches up to blackwater contractor and rips his earbuds out while he's running.
Blackwater contractor slams US Army LtCol and rear naked chokes him on the flight line until he passes out.

Blackwater contractor found out to be retired Full Bird Colonel.
That's a win! LOL

Deck these non-common sense non-hackers. Mask up and hit the ranks telling them how to work it. Yeah, military will want to investigate an assault on one of these idiot leaders. Its like Donny O'Malley on Vet Tv said in his most recent video with psychologist, this team leader who was great at war got busted down to private because he broke the jaw of this other team leader who tried to haze him. The team leader who tried to haze him got beat at his own game then snitched.
Our entire division wasn’t allowed to roll our sleeves in the summer because some general had a skin condition. So if he couldn’t, no one could. I wish I was making this up.

My dad has a story. They were marching for hours. It was late and cold. It took them awhile to set up camp. A full bird colonel comes along and decides to make them move the camp.

While I was overseas my Captain notified a Sergeant that his taillight was out. Later that day he was asked to give a statement at the MP station about said taillight. He was then detained at the MP station for “not reporting” the damaged property and lost his license to drive on post. After he was released he walked to the parking lot and reported every MP vehicle for having a scratch on it.

I read this in a New England accent, I was not disappointed
While driving my crusty old CSM he had me filling the comsec in the truck, because he couldn't figure out these "new radios". So this blue pickup cuts us off and almost runs us off the road. Out pops a sergeant major. Guy walks up to my driver side window and starts screaming to me about base regulations (if you're going to use a communications device while operating a vehicle, the communications device needs to be hands-free). Then I sank as far into my chair as humanly possible as my CSM got out of the truck to go have a no holds barred knife hand screaming match with this other SM. When CSM got back in the truck he gave me quite possibly the most valuable piece of advice any NCO has ever given a specialist. "When you get promoted, don't be a cunt like that."
While in afghanistan our SGM strongly encouraged everyone to buy deployment hats...when we got them we were banned by the same SGM from wearing said hats
What's a deployment hat? We had a Co. T-shirt from deployment, and were allowed to wear them on certain Co. PT days. Same concept?
why am I not surprised by that
usually just a camo ballcap. we had the same our ltc approved them then had brigade csm show up and through a fit about regs. mind you this is the same guy that didn't wear shoes to pt.
Why?

Thank you for your service to both our nation and to our service men/women. Keep up the good work, our brave men and women need a good chaplain from time to time!

I was stationed as a Corporal at Camp Lejeune while in the Marines. The rule was no wearing of PT gear inside any businesses on base. I was getting gas on base in PT gear but was going to pay at the pump. I was about to insert my card when I hear “hey devil dog” from a big black Gunny. I ignored him at first Bc he was saying “devil dog” on an MC base and could’ve been talking to anyone. I insert my debit card and he says loudly “hey devil dog” so I look at him and said “how can I help you sir?” He said “first off I’m a gunny and you’re not supposed to go into any establishments on base in PT gear!” I said “roger that gunny, I’m paying at the pump and not going inside.” He then says “ you need to phone a friend or girlfriend if you need gas because you’re not getting it here in PT gear!” I then told him “I guess I’ll get it off base in PT gear” as I’m taking my card out and he then tells me “ that’s also against the rules” and I then went to a parking lot and sat in my vehicle until that dickhead left the gas station and went back and got my gas in PT gear. A lot of good soldiers, sailors, and Marines get out of the military Bc of Karens running around like hall monitors.
You're off base. I'd tell gunny I could get gas in a fucking clown suit if I want.
You have got NO F'ing idea. Sad thing is that most of them get promoted first. Usually it happens before anyone finds out that they are blue falcons, just barely know their yob. (it's not my yob man) or are complete cowards.

I was AF stationed at Ft Gordon where they trained the Signal Corps. There was an CWO3 Ranger in my language refresher course and as were were walking from chow back to class he got a phone call. We stopped (as was the rule att) so he could answer and as he did, a DI from one of the training groups saw him, assumed he was lower enlisted and proceeded to start screaming at him as he approached us. The CWO looked at me and said "watch this." He took several seconds of berating before he turned his head so the DI could see the rank on his beret. The DI froze and started apologizing. CWO calmly thanks him for "enforcing the standard" and ends with "But in the future SSG, if you're gonna correct someone, make sure and TAKE YOUR FUCKING HANDS OUT OF YOUR POCKET!" SSG startles and takes visible steps backwards before saluting with a "Yes, sir. Have a good day, sir." As an Air Force SSgt, this was pure hilarity.

I hated Ft Gordon with a passion.
That really irritated during my service. Sailors/marines with their hands in their pockets in uniform. Military bearing PEOPLE. Some think it is dumb, but when I served we demanded military bearing be followed at all times. Things have changed obviously, but you see how that is working out. Discipline matters.

"If you're wearing white socks, you can't enter the chow hall." This one i heard by more than one USMC 1stSgt in Helmand.
Also must be changed out of flight suit or frog utilities before entering chow hall. Don't care if you just came off a patrol and the chow hall is about to close.
Calling my cloth “rainbow gear” like what am I, a Crayola pack???
I haven't worn white socks in 20 years. Also I had a flight suit solely for the purpose of not having to wear my cammies to the chow hall or PX when I was in Fallujah.
Had one (also in Helmand) where my platoon just got back from a firefight and the chow hall NCOIC barred us from entering "because we were dirty". Needless to say, our platoon commander (a SSgt; yes, not an officer due to operational changes to our company TO&E) chewed him the fuck out til he let us in.

2010, I was assigned to a 3-Star HQ and we just came back from Iraq. This was my 4th combat tour since 9/11. We had a mass PT formation on the first Monday after everyone got back. Now, while deployed, I was promoted to CW3 and I was instantly granted the ability to see beyond all bullshit. I rolled up to the PT formation with my battered silver coffee cup, drinking my precious coffee before PT. Out of nowhere, this SGM from the G3 starts screaming at me for having the SHEER AUDACITY to come to the parade field/PT formation area with a coffee cup. He DEMANDED to know who was my NCO and who did I think I was. I introduced myself and kept drinking my coffee. Later that day, my boss, an O6 COL, came up to me and mentioned that an irate SGM was throwing a fit about my coffee cup. He asked me to either leave it at my car or just skip PT formation.
I even made a point to say hi to him as I was out processing the unit for a Joint assignment. He hated my guts.
F*k that SGM. I'll drink my coffee wherever and whenever I want.
Why was your coffee cup battered though ? I thought CWOs got issued one? 🤣

By O2, I learned to treat everyone in PT uniform with respect or ambivalence.
At O3, I had a CW4, CW3, and 2 CW2's under my command. I couldn't really say "no", but I could send them on assignments where I didn't want "no" for an answer. 😉

Now granted this was somewhat my fault but I was carrying items back from the PX in my right hand because I couldn't use my left and it was muddy outside from snow melting. This army Sergeant Major and a major general are walking by and I just stopped and stood at attention and have the greeting of the day without saluting. Keep in mind I was the only Marine back at my base because I was the only one flown back and the rest of my unit were still out laying hate and everyone but this asshole knew I was the one that got shot. So he commences to start chewing my ass out and telling me what a disgusting person I am for not saluting a general when I walked by. Funny thing is, he's the one that ended up getting his ass chewed just a little because the Major General was understanding and knew that I was the one that got shot because he came in the medical tent when it happened and gave me his coin. No big deal just a fun little story.

When I waa a Drill Sergeant at Fort Jackson we would alternate male /female cycles. During female cycles the Post SGM would run around with binos and hiding in bushes etc.. Trying to find Drill Sergeants doing something wrong.
One morning Post SGM had me report to his office, said he had heard me singing nasty cadence with a female platoon.
I answered back NO SGM No you did not!
That infuriated the SGM he sprang out of his chair all 128 lbs of him and slammed his hands on his desk. He said I heard you Sargeant I heard you say "Fore Play"!!!

Then it dawned on me...

Then one morning, I was walking past their set where they had a big buffet breakfast out for them (outside) and I heard "Hey, want some coffee"? It was Tom Hanks asking if I wanted a coffee with him.

One of the most mentally and emotionally traumatized men I ever met in the military was a chaplain. He watched a Soldier he had been working with for a long time hang himself on a Skype call and it happened so fast they could not get to the soldier in time. He just had to watch it while trying to beg him not to do it. Crazy when you think about it
HOLY SHIT DUDE! Poor guy!
A huge problem with the military is that troops with mental health issues run to the chaplain instead of going to Behavioral Health. The simple fact is that the Chaplin is not qualified to determine if someone is a risk to themselves or others.
In Bosnia a Chaplin had a soldier shoot himself in front of him in his office.

Not really. SGM did a great job because it is the little things that you look for to determine if someone is authorized to be there.

I was wearing really tight pt shorts and walked by the front of my unit while SgtMaj was out. He looks at me and says "hey I can see your heartbeat devil dont wear that shit again" I think he has a crush on me
Here's one for you. When I was in the Navy, you were not allowed to wear your working uniform off base. Well, one day, my CMC decided that you were not allowed to wear PT gear off the ship, unless you were going for a run on base. It just so happened that I lived close enough to base that I would ride my bike and in doing so, I wore PT gear to and from home. I tried to leave to go home, because I didn't have any other clothing, and wasn't allowed to leave the Quarter Deck. I had to hand walk an emergency request chit up my chain, just so I could wear PT gear off the ship and go home.
Indeed some of the rules are nuts. It happened in my old ship (thanks for the flashback).
It didn't happen to me, but to a shipmate of mine. Several ships done that from time to time.
Things like this are what happens when someone who's so far removed from the situation on ground is making all the rules the bois have to follow and suffer through

I don't think they knew he was the chaplain because he was newer (arrived a month prior) and running in Civis.

When I was in MNF-I and serving on Camp Slayer in 2007, our CG (who was the S-2 under Petraeus) went to a briefing in the Green Zone. His flight back actually left an hour earlier than expected and we didn't hear about it until he was already in the air. So I had to rush out and slap on the GO plates, jump in the land cruiser, then hall ass to get to the helipad on Camp Victory before he landed. Now this is normally a half hour drive and I needed to be there in less time than that because the flight is much shorter.
So here I am, an E5 at the time, hauling butt at double the posted speed limits through Slayer, under Route Irish (which is how you got from Slayer to Victory), and onto Victory. I was driving a black land cruiser with black tinted windows and 2-Star GO plates on it. So of course a Camp Victory MP pulls me over. This ratty looking E2 who took forever to come up to me and when I jumped out of the truck to started shouting at him to hurry the F up, he became even more of a dip shit. Talking 'bout "do you know why I pulled you over?" and I was like "Yea, now hurry up the general is landing in a couple minutes". So he takes his time writing the ticket. Finally he gets to the point where he needs my commander, so I tell him Major General L*BEEP*. And he is all no no, who do you actually work for so I repeat myself. Finally he tries no, who is your boss? And I told him "MF'er, did you miss the stars on the plate when you walked up?" So he finishes writing out the ticket and I tell him I have to drive even faster, so if he wants to pull me over again he can chase me all the way to the heliport. I peeled out of there and peppered the heck out of him with gravel, but he didn't chase me. I could have told him I worked for CW5 A*BEEP* who was my rater or COL D*BEEP* who was actually my senior rater rather then the 2 star who was my reviewer, but F' him I was driving the general's truck.
So I manage to pull up at heliport just as the bird was flaring out for a landing. Hopped out, met the general, grabbed his bags, and got him in the vehicle. It seems some ground fire had caused the bird to divert from their expected course which actually made the flight take enough time that I just managed to beat it. Fine by me, don't want the general sitting around waiting. Told him I got a ticket on the way and he asked for it. Looked it over, said ok, and crumpled it up before tossing it in the back. Damn it, I'm going to have to find that thing. But nothing more was said of it and the MPs didn't call. Now if you have ever gotten a ticket on a camp in Iraq, trust me the MPs will call your unit. Often that same day. So something was up here.
So a few days later, when I had some free time I made the drive down to the MP station, because you know, I have to drive on the base. Kinda hard to drive the general or drop off the daily read book for Petraeus when you can't. Told the guy at the desk I was there because they never got a hold of my unit. He couldn't find my name in the system, did I have the ticket? Yes I did and here you go. Then he told me to wait and went to get the NCOIC on duty at the time. Now this guy was a squared away and rather grumpy SFC. So I told him who I was, where I got the ticket, and what I was doing at the time. "So you were going to pick up your general who was flying in early?" Yep. "And you were driving his vehicle, with his plates?" Yep. "And you told the general?" Why do you think the ticket is crumpled up? "Ok, I'll take care of it".
Guess the guy was on duty at the time because the MP SFC ripped into him so loudly we could hear it at the front desk. Something along the lines of "WTF is wrong with you!? You pulled over a general's vehicle with its plates on?! And then held them up when they had somewhere to be?!". The ass chewing was still going on loudly when I left.

I'm a civilian that has to go to a particular building on one base, where we aren't allowed to have permanent credentials but we had a deal where we could always come on as visitors without any prior paperwork or a sponsor. However, visitors aren't allowed to bring cell phones past the ECF so my agency made a deal where we could bring our agency phones past despite that rule. In order to prove that our phones were actually agency phones, we had to dial the ECF desk with an internal-only number while standing in front of the security staff.
The other funny thing about this is that they have a big sign with a list of contraband items, including cell phones. In order to get the pass they tell me to read the sign and state that I don't have any of those items, while holding a cell phone in my hand.
There’s no fucking way that this guy has never forgotten his Cac in the computer and gone home. Nothing worse than than having to get an escort on base the next morning and finding it frozen in the middle of a gallon of water.

@@James-yi1vk yep, it’s super fun when the tape peels your picture off. 😂

I’m going back to 1991, the workshop bars fridge had died, and in the process of replacing it had left the new one outside the barracks whilst manoeuvring the old one out, In the few minutes this would take, the RSM (Regimental Sergeant Major) was passing by and saw the new fridge and was so incensed by the offence of having something stain his perfectly kept areas that he called the Regimental Police out to remove it and lock it up in a cell. The offending fridge stayed in that cell for a full 48 hours until released back into the grateful arms of the Technicians who no longer had to endure warm lager. Anyway. Thanks for being so entertaining and please keep up the great work.
Regimental police? You must not be American, we don’t have regimental police
Uh duh! Since when does the US Army have a work shop bar serving beer? It's a British thing trust me. I spent some time on the HMS Andromeda where they had a cozy little bar. Unthinkable in the USN.
They detained the fridge for as long as they could legally? Were they hoping it would crack and tell them where the toaster stashed the cocaine? lol

After running circuit drills for an hour straight, I'm marching my soldiers back to barracks about 5 minutes before the official end of PT. The BN CSM stops me and says that we should be training to time, that brining my soldiers back to the barracks prior to the 'official' end of PT was shortchanging them.. So I look at the CSM who is wearing a clean and dry PT uniform, with no visible sweat anywhere, then I look at my thoroughly sweat soaked squad...and I say 'roger Sergeant Major'. I call the squad to attention and say 'be at the motor pool at 0900 according to previous stated standards. You are dismissed to PT on your own for the next (look at my watch) 3 minutes. Dismissed'.
I then turned to the CSM, gave him the greeting of the day and moved out smartly.
Fuck yeah.
If any story could convince people not to enlist this here is it just due to the hypocrisy.

When I was in Afghanistan, SGM fired my platoon sergeant midway through a mission for one of our squad leaders wearing fingerless gloves. Still the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen.

Had a full bird colonel desk jockey harass me for several weeks because the field kitchen ran out of ketchup packets near the end of a training cycle. He spent like 10 minutes screaming at the cooks before I told him that they couldn't magically pull some ketchup out of thin air for him and to suck it up and move on so other soldiers could get fed. Jackass held up a hundred+ hungry soldiers from getting hot chow for nearly 30 minutes screaming at us about it. Once we were back on base the guy made it his personal mission to seek me out and ruin my day, every day. It was infuriating at the time but I still laugh about it all these years later.
Had a SGM screaming in my face for two hours over not having had a haircut in a few weeks. When he finally asked what I had to say to explain myself had to point out to him that five months prior I had gotten into a bit of trouble lost pay for two months and for some reason that was still not getting resolved properly my pay had still not restarted. I had never seen a SGM turn purple from rage before but I will say my pay was fixed the next day.
He got more angry, because he couldn't be angry.

The story has to be a little misconstrued because the MPs cannot take someone into custody on an administrative violation. It had to be because he refused to identify which is semantics if he didnt have his id but the way the story was reported we think the MPs were used and implemented because he was wearing headphones. However whenever in a host country everything gets taken up a notch. But I'll bet MPs are getting a lesson on when and when not to take someone into custody.

What is the Army procedure for getting heat stroke? Do you need to pass out and fall away from the work area/other engineers, as to prevent slowing down the project?

That only the Canadian army and it's combat units were issued and authorized to wear them. he spent 15 min lecturing me and "ordered me" to go back to my command and present myself for military discipline.

So "promised" to report to my MWO (Master Warrant Officer) (air force equal to SGM) which he also said wasn't true. That I can't a SGM if I was a "combat" unit.
He told me that if I was going to effectively sew the seeds of brotherhood between US and Canada I needed to respect his knowledge and experience and that I needed to understand he was still my superior....
Well we all know that isn't true lol. I reported the situation to my MWO who laughed and said...well you have a story when your in your 40's about a crusty old SGM as a Canadian Airmen that doesn't have SGM 's lol
The seeds of brotherhood have already been sewn between US and Canada. His knowledge and experience in dress up like a dork for people who applied to be leaders? Its so bad that he thinks the brotherhood between US an Canadian soldiers rests on whether you satisfy him or not depending on something lacking common sense for why he wants you to do it.

Your watch is, and I can't believe I'm about to quote, "Too shiny. It's not inconspicuous, Marine. Take it off."
I agree with this one in practice. If its not said on base there is a chance the dude might wear it into the field. Some people actually need to be reminded. If it can produce a glint dont use it. I dont care about the context of on base, at war.

Or that time we made everyone in Syria wear reflective belts on the FOB. Or that time we decided you wouldn't be issued ammo unless you were stepping outside the wire in Afghanistan.

CSM says, “I’m sorry son, I can’t hear you over the hair on your lip. Get in regs then pass your needs up to your first line” then walks out. Biggest tool I’ve ever served under
So I had a Sgt tell me and a bunch of my buddies a while back ago that his unit had just gotten back from a deployment, and a corporal had committed suicide only a few days after they had gotten home. Now everyone knows that suicide just isn’t okay, especially in the military, shit really blows. But the good ol’ SgtMaj decided that he needed to make an example of this Marine’s poor decision. So at the guys funeral a few weeks later or so, his parents and his wife present, the SgtMaj decides that he is going to publicly NJP and Posthumously demote the Marine for violating the UCMJ where it essentially says it’s illegal to commit suicide, which was somehow okay’d by the BN CO.
Not exactly the same thing, but it was the closest thing I could think of. Still a really stupid rule.
