Fucked by the "Green Weenie", again.

[Team BLUE! ETA 11/28/09]

I really don't normally post in here, or even care to see what people post in here, but I finally found something to genuinely bitch about. In an easy to read list form!

1. My unit is moving from crappy barracks, to even crappier squad bays. One might ask why they would move us into shit holes not fit for keeping animals in. The only reason for screwing the Marines of A Co., is so that the barracks we're living in now can either be torn down, or renovated. If I had the pictures my buddy took as photo evidence for his hometown Senator, I'd post them. Maybe later.

2. I have to go on a 12 mile hike tomorrow. And, somehow, half of my section got out of it by going to medical. Assholes.

3. I got screwed on a new laptop purchase. And the store lied about the 30 day return policy.

4. My IT band in my knee is fucked up, and will probably get worse after the hike tomorrow.

5. I got screwed out of a 72 libo pass, that was pre-approved, that my Platoon Commander then took a shit on. And our next scheduled one is during a field exercise.

Mainly I was just pissed about #1. Trust me, those places are horrible. Rat infested, no locking wall lockers, the door to the outside has a hole for a door knob, every other window broken, stains on every mattress, holes and exposed wires in the walls, and more. Like I said, pics to follow.

Damn. And I thought our government didn't spend any money on the military. I haven't heard any complaints like that up here.

Call the manager and threaten to sue. He will freak out and will let you return the laptop. As for the hike, do NOT go if you knee is in pain. Joint pain always does long lasting damage if it is not looked at.

Yeah for all their supposed caring about the soldiers, the soldiers are usually VERY last in line. Behind arms and vehicles and computers and equipment and civilians and just about anything else they can think of. Get used to it. Being in the military sucks man. Sorry.

Welcome to the rest of your career in the Marine Corps. It was like this my whole 3yr 7 months. Luckily my platoon had to be badass... so not only did we do a hike once a month with battalion but every tuesday so that we could prepare... nevermind that it kept our feet in constant pain.... we still did daily PT too.

All I can boil it down to is this: Eat the Apple...

I'm sure you know the rest.

Well, I went on the hike. Bad news is, I rolled my ankle walking in mud and fell in a big ass mud puddle. With a fully loaded main pack, my SMAW rocket launcher, and my rifle. And I continued to trip and fall the rest of the way back.

Swelling in your ankle is bad, right?

 

[anners]

You broke it :sad: Seriously. It could be that bad.

 

[ComeClarity]

It isn't swollen like it's broken, but it does hurt to walk on. Maybe I'll go to BAS (medical) tomorrow, or at least see if my section leader will let me out of PT. He saw me eat shit, and genuinely seemed worried that I kept falling down and was limping.

Dude, to get out of the 10 mile road hike what happened is I fell off Victory Tower in Fort Jackson South Carolina and made a cartoon like impression in the sand. Got out of it. And they were so amazed I wasn't all fucked up, they said "Get the Fuck out of here, you're done for the day!" and they also let me not go on the hike the next day. So good luck.
