    I was lucky enough being a cook in the army. Whenever Sarge wanted to drag me into a working party, I'd just say "OK, I guess you want lunch to either be late or MRE's."

      Sounds like when Mom'd get groceries in bulk on sale, so it seemed like she'd bought half the store and she'd want us to put everything away. Only, you know, military scale.

      Currently a PL of a Field Feeding Platoon (yes, we somehow don't qualify for a company), and I tell my Joes to do this whenever the unit they're attached to tries to make them do something stupid when they have work to do. Have not heard any complaints yet.

    I was at NTC, CA doing hands across the desert, they asked for 2 volunteers. Nobody volunteered. They said they were going to pick 2 people, me and another guy volunteered, they told us to get off the truck they had to many people. So we got to hang out at the barracks. My platoon was pissed when they got back policing the desert 🤣🇺🇲

  • @firestorm165
    @firestorm165 Před 3 měsíci +15

    lol my old sergeant had a strategy for getting together those working parties. He'd go up to a group of people and go "who likes ice cream?" and whoever put their hand up was now the working party. What made it ingenious was that sometimes he actually did have ice cream to hand out

    I remember the working parties, but there is a twist. When I was in charge of them the one that constantly volunteered I would give them the day off to show appreciation for it. This got so many volunteers that I had to make it the first volunteer.

    In 2003 I was stationed at MCBH (Marine Corps Base Hawaii) with the 3rd Marines and our unit deployed to South Korea. We were on a Korean Naval base at first and we met and began training with the ROK (Republic Of Korea) Marines and they were awesome to train and hang out with. They were insane, hilarious and amazing to train and work with.

    The best time I had on a working party, First Sergeant, walks in, "I need three volunteers," Me being bored stood up as did two others. First Sergeant smiles. "You three guard the barracks. The rest of you get your butts on the PT field we are mowing today. "
    We spent the entire day watching TV and relaxing in the barracks.

    President Ford and his wife also founded the Ford Modeling Agency, now known as Ford Models. Actual freaking fashion models. He was a male model at one point.
    What Nixon did was trivial compared to what various Presidents do on a regular basis now, much let "get away with." Clinton heard he was getting impeached, he said, "Hold my beer and bring me another intern."

    The key to escaping "working parties" is to volunteer for every last one. Yes, sometimes you will get literal shit burning details. However, if you have good NCOs, they will keep you off those.

    Y'know, after learning that the two American soldiers were brutalized in horrible fashion in that crag, one of them somehow being alived after chopped up by an Axe head, I can see why Ford decided to make a show that told the North Koreans that we were ready to make South Korea into an island.
    Especially since after the korean war, the North Koreans had a propensity to fuck around. Remember: "Temper, Temper."

    Actually, Nixon wasn’t going to go to prison, because he resigned, so he wouldn’t go to trial.

    • @Stevarooni
      @Stevarooni Před 3 měsíci

      Sitting Presidents aren't prosecuted for crimes while in office until they've been Impeached. There is an argument that even an ex-president can't be prosecuted for crimes until impeached, but in general they're viewed as now-prosecutable once they leave office...so Nixon would still be susceptible to prosecution despite having left office. Ford saw side-stepping the trial and political idiocy as worth losing any chance at election.
