I just got a response back where I referred the Bush as the comander n chimp and then this guy flew back at me that under AR 600-20 "Insulting a commander is a violation of AR 600-20. It can also be considered subversion, a felony, even for civilians."

So I am already pissing people off and I am not even in the military yet.


I also made a response about how our country is in trouble (democratically) and economically


"You are watching the media, not the country. You haven't the degree of oversight required to make these assessments. Recessions are a natural cyclic occurence, and last I checked, the democratic process was alive and in full swing, stronger than it has been in years."

you joined the army?

As someone who was once told by my company commander, "I personally admire the fact that you were standing up on principle, but I assure you, that type of behavior has no place in the Army," let me advice you that you will be better in the long run by just keeping quiet whenever you can.

I know it's hard. But you'll be better off in the long run. Remember, you're not saluting the man, you're saluting the position that the man holds. In your mind call him the Commander in Chimp and let that be your secret.

If this is the route you have taken, bite the bullet, swallow your pride, and get what you can out of it. Some people just need to learn how to play the game.

I'm kinda partial to rule 145:$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '1')45. I should not drink three quarts of blue food coloring before a urine test.

That "Skippy can't do...." list is seriously funny. I wonder if they're in an M.I. unit....

memorize it ok? You seriously can't do that stuff.

Also, don't:

Put two long grass seed stems so they stick uo like antennae and tell 'em that's all your camouflage and that you're disguised as an "Army ant".

Tap into comms using a phone switchboard (hint: oxidation on op's plug to line unit = rectifying junction, line = antenna, audio amp makes it listenable......) and tell everyone what went on.

Send obscene messages into the woods using your flashlight and Morse code, even if your'e in an non-English speaking country.

Take those "THE ENEMY IS LISTENING" messages on phones one step further and put more stickers on saying "Call the Enemy Collect".

Go wild with SECRET and TOP SECRET stamps.

The top level of security is not "tippy-top secret with strawberries on top".

Do not get mixed up while making motivational signs and attribute your commanding Lt's sayings to Karl Marx.

Or Josef Stalin.

Don't call the folks serving you in the mess hall "Comrade".

"Draw your weapon" doesn't actually mean draw an accurate scale drawing of the M16 rifle on your hand with your Skilcraft and show it off to everyone.

I'm sure I can think of more, but you get the idea.

Honestly, they take a lot of this stuff very seriously. The nail that sticks up WILL get hammered down.
