Getting jacked off duty

[Recce41]

Well pte Gruending, thanks. With your so much time in, I hope I meet you. Yes you showing up with a backward ball cap, sandals, shorts dressed like your going skateboarding does not cut it. Yes maybe, a go pair of walking shorts, shirt and runners could pass. But not going to see the SSM/CSM. I have met soldiers like you. It is how soldiers are dressing now. S@#$. You are the eye of the public. Yes I am a prick. Those that know me here will so. NCOs well most NCOs are there to keep you alive. A NCO that cannot or will not grab a soldier by the neck and sort him or her out. Is a NCO that would not give that pat on the back when a good job is done. As for professional, how would you know? I remember when I was a yng trooper getting a shot in the head for not having my heels together for a Cpl. Are having your Troop WO taking you out back to rip your face off.
I came for a Military family, so to have it done to me was not suprise. Grow up dress like an adult not like a lil boy.
And thanks again, I hope I meet you on a tour when the shells drop, or bullets fly.
:evil: :tank:

LUI (noone can stop you from doing anything that doesn‘t violate the CSD when you‘re on your own time). Is in a way wrong. You signed the line. even off duty tell the SSM to go F himselve can get you in sh%^. Just because you are a Res does not make it different. Even if you act like an a55can do to. If someone wants to push it. We‘ve had Ress show up for tour/ taskings and say you cannot jail me and end up in jail.
Maybe I should change my login to EvilRecce41. HAHA

 

[WINDWOLF]

You should do that Recce,seems to fit your
EEEEvil persona.

Have a great day,dude.

aloha

Hey Recce41, how‘s the summer training going out there. Are you DS on the Reserve ARTC? Our RSSO is out there as DS...

Pte Gruending, shrug it off... A little jacking up is good to keep the adrenalin flowing and the neurons firing. I remember getting in $hit for the first couple years of my Reservist Career. You are teflon for a while, until you are at least a senior Corporal, so enjoy it while you can.

 

[Recce41]

Windwolf Thanks! Its from ****s that piss me off. Too many tours and just getting too old. 24yrs and counting. I may call it next yr though. After leaving the fun postings, it sucks at the school. I have not had a jump for two yrs, Exs are short and no fun, there are people here at the Armour School that have never seen the light of the Regt. But tell you your wrong because the book says its this way,but cry because they cannot go on tour. That would mean they have to leave and do a real job. Its time to run. I was hopeing to get back Pet or Dwyer. But no possible promoted Sgts can go. Pet maybe?
Later, there are so few Regs here, its a breath of air to talk to one. I‘m a DS on a Res course and when they put 8 balls on shifters, ask if fuzzy dice can hang from the mirror, getting wing tatoos and me seeing them, and show up looking like Gunny Hwy burns me good. I think a lil Ruck march would help?

:evil: :tank:

The RSM at my unit was with the reg force for 20 years, served in the airborne for a few of them, got his wings, and is a proud signaler. I know this, and accordingly, on or off duty, I still call him sir. He was the one that told me to put on some shorts and relax... my bad, he‘s not an SSM, guess I shold buy him a beer for that. The point being around the unit, off duty, I‘d treat any senior NCO or Officer with the same respect I‘d treat the RSM.

IMO, acting like you got a stick up your *** all the time is just as bad "in the public eye" as acting like you don‘t give a **** about anything. How does acting like a normal, decent person sound? IMO, being polite and cordial is far more respectable than acting like a total jacka$$ all the time.

I respect the RSM even more because he is both a polite, sincere and caring man as well as an experienced, professional soldier. On parade he‘s jacked me up for not folding my sleevs the right way and in the field, he‘s jacked me up for not pounding the groundstake for my truck far enough. Off parade he‘ll talk to me like I‘m a human being, and around the unit he‘ll joke around with me like a fatherly figure. Again, IMO, I think the RSM is the model of a good leader, and a good soldier.

I walked into my unit today to sign a claim I had handed in a week ago, and I was wearing what I‘m wearing now: a wife beater, an unbuttoned collared shirt, and a pair of torn and ripped track pants. In the OR was a new 2LT and a pretty seasoned Captain. I gave them a friendly nod and a warm "Hello, sir" apiece and went about my business. Noone gave me flak for that, so I‘ll just continue on like that.

 

[WINDWOLF]

You got alot to give yet Recce,don,t give up.
You are a good man,young,but still good.
OLD,boy ,i got underware older than you.

Have fun with it & maybe do some rec jumps
to keep in form & don,t let the wannabe,s
get you down.You know what you are,so who cares
what the a$$holes think.Be true to yourself.

Gotta go,kids taken me to see the circus tonite.

Aloha all.

 

[Recce41]

For one Officers don‘t sort out soldiers, NCOs do. Many officers are rags anyway. It is the RSM that decreases what men wear and the Regt 2ic for the CO for the Officers. And NCOs sort out men/ jr officers and the Capts for the Officers. If you got away with that, good for you. but remember oneday you‘ll get it.

:evil: :tank:

 

[inferno]

I‘m with Recce on this one.
Don‘t be a punk.

 

[Devlin]

Okay so I‘m gonna show some of ignorance here and ask the question what is a DS? I believe in the US it means Drill Sergeant. What is the meaning in Canada?

Have to agree with M. Dorosh and Recce41 the people you meet every day do form their first impressions based on appearence. Ever been to a bar and eyed up someone with a really nice personality???? I doubt it.

 

[Recce41]

Wind Buddy
I‘m 42 yrs old if you have underware that old. I think you should change them. HAHAHA. As for DS Devlin it means (Directing Staff), it was once "IS" (Instructor Staff).
I hope no one really takes it to heart. I just look that if your in the military, you are the flag bearer. That travels the world to sell Canada. Would you buy something for a BUM. NO!
I‘m starting to like the lil Devil, I may post it on my unofficial Military sign.
:evil: :tank:

I know this is off-topic but how do you go about adressing a WO? It‘s easy for sargeant it‘s one word, so everytime you need to adress a WO you say "Warrant Officer...."? Sorry I‘m supposed to do basic soon maybe they‘ll clarify that there.

 

[PTE Gruending]

Holy ****! This thread is getting blown waaaaay out of proportion. Essentially, all I asked was what level of discipline should I maintain when offduty and proceeding with army-business.

I certainly never expected to see the CSM when I popped in at my unit, just some CPLs in the orderly room. I never got jacked, and everyone was cordial with me, the CSM was extremely aproachable and polite.

The other time, I wasnt sure whether to address NCOs by rank when I was in civvie mode - and I was corrected at the time - fair enough! But being jacked for not going on course with 2 days notice, while I was on my own time is complete bull****.

The whole purpose of this board is to communicate, learn, voice concerns/problems, and network. I had a question about deportment - so I friggen asked it!

Then right away I am jumped on: "Gruending you are a ****en ****ty soldier", "Bag of ****", "Bet you are some piece of ****en **** punk", "Hope I instruct on one of your courses one day", "back in my day I woulda KO‘ed you for wearing sandals", blah blah blah....If it is the goal of some of the forum members to intimidate the younger, inexperienced soldiers such as myself, from asking questions - then the whole point of this forum is down the ****ter! Someone has to ask the stupid questions. And it can be handled professionally (thank you Mr. Dorosh, Combat_Medic, and the rest). Resorting to personal attacks, and assuming one is not "switched on" because he/she likes to wear a necklace, or shorts off-duty is absurd.

Recce41, irregardless of your replies, I am sure you are one fine ****en soldier, and I have to say that it sounds like you are perhaps the epitomy of the "fighting man" of what the military is based on....

Thanks!

"Well the great thing about living in a free nation is the ability to wear whatever you want, however you want - I choose to exercise this right and freedom."

This notion may be fine and dandy if you are a civvy but you are not, you are a member of the Canadian forces!!!! Be proud of this and yourself. The day you signed your name you suspend these rights until you quit... try using your right to freedom of speech and mouth off the CO, pleeeeease try it!
As for how people view you on appearance, it makes no difference how edumacated you think you are because if they don‘t talk enuff to know you they will not know that. And by the way, you still represent the forces and the rest of us when you are in civvy‘s if you dress like a f### nut others will think we are all f### nuts.
Hopefully soon you will grow out of that grade 7 phase of dress.

 

[Michael Dorosh]

menion..."Warrant" is an acceptable form of address for a Warrant Officer. As in "Yes, Warrant."

Some of them like to be sirred, the majority I have met do not, unless they are actually holding a senior appointment (ie acting CSM).

Hey, don‘t worry about it, getting cock is typical on course. As someone said, it‘s all just a game, and you have to learn to accept and live with it.

In fact, last week I was walking out of J7 in Gage with some Ocdt I didn‘t even know when all of a sudden a WO came out of no where. He asked us what course we were on, where we were going, and then proceeded to give us a large amount of high calibre cock for not having our lids on when leaving the building.

Well, I sure as heck had mine on, but the guy next to me didn‘t (dumb *** was a LOG Ocdt)-- and I had no idea who the freakin LOG guy was, he was just walking beside me. But, I ended up talkin‘ a handful of cock with him.

The point is, I‘m a 2LT, and here‘s a WO givin‘ me cock in front of J7. All I said was a respectful "yes, Warrant" and got on with my life. I‘m not pissed, it‘s just the way the game is played. Don‘t take the stuff personally, it‘s done to make you a better soldier. And, above all, don‘t try to pull rank.

Now, about dressing like a bum at the Regiment. As for as I‘m concerned, you should go in wearing something respectful. Follow the CF guidelines for casual wear (golf shirt, burmuda shorts, etc). Don‘t wear your baseball cap backwards.

As for coming to attention, you don‘t need to in civs unless you are on course (this may be different for the NCMs when you are asking for something or doing something official like pulling kit, etc).

Certainly, don‘t salute unless you are in uniform and wearing your lid.

So, in order to avoid any unpleasant cock, you may want to come to attention in civs and let the NCO tell you to relax. Remember to refer to them by their rank and name.

Remember, if you know the person‘s rank, you should always refer to them by rank and name, even if they are in civs.

For example, if I see Capt Sh!ttypants downtown and he‘s in civ clothing, I will refer to him as "Capt Sh!ttypants."

This, however, changes if you know the individual on a personal level or have given permission for that person to refer to you by your name.

Again, life on the darkside may be a bit different than it is for NCMS.

Best advice is to always be respectful and act professional.

Hope this helps.

PS. Why is s.h.i.t.t.y a swear word and COCK ain‘t?

 

[Michael Dorosh]

Because you can cock a weapon, cock your head to take a look, or be woken up by the cock crowing at dawn.

It‘s not a "curse" in all or even most senses of the word.

 

[humint]

I hear the word COCK and I only think one thing -- my WO givin it to me HARD and without pause! Man, that word makes me flinch.

 

[Korus]

We had a design contest for our course T-shirts on BMQ, where we could submit deisgns, and the platoon would vote for the one we‘d get made. The Shirt that was winning had our course motto, "30 Days of Belt-Fed Cock". Our course WO kindly informed us that, on the outside, people may interpret differently than intended. Needless to say, another design ended up winning.
