Ok I have noticed a couple of things around here that are really starting to bug the shit out of me.
We haven't had any IDF around here for awhile and it seems that too many people are now becoming complacent, and in some cases down right sloppy in a lazy kind of way.
The First: I go to midnite chow, most of you guys know how badly midnite chow sux LOL! But the Marines out here say that even it is better than the Marine chow hall in the states.
Anyway me and a few of my Marine counterparts are sitting at a table eating and a bunch of Army guys come in. and cross paths with a Gunnery Sgt. He stops one of them and engages in a surprisingly quiet conversation and then takes the kid out the back door for more conversation. We were wondering what it was all about when it hit us. The fool had his pistol in his pants POCKET! What kind of an idiot goes to chow with his pistol in his pocket?
Then there is that whole, clear your weapon thing. I am continually amazed at how many people don't bother to do this.
I recently had to move hooches and the heads have been MUCH cleaner (and closer LOL) but we recently got a pantload of Army guys in and I never thought there was anybody that cleaned up after themselves less than the Marines. Well to my amazement there is. I swear these guys think they haver brought their mommies with them to clean up after them. I went into the head last night and it looked like someone had rolled around in the dirt then took a bath in the sink. Dirt left in the sink half way up the sides, dirty water all over what passes for a shelf and the floor.
I have been out here long enough that I do not expect things to be spotless, Lord knows I am not the worlds cleanest guy around but this is getting ridiculous. I think I am gonna hang a sign up that reminds them that their momma doesn't work here. I think it will come as a surprise to some of them.
Thanks for listening ...
