Still got a few hours to go, but I'm working from home today so at least there's no commute.

That's nice.

What, no vapid muzak for many long, long minutes while you are waiting for an actual human being to speak with you? Consider yourself lucky!

They could've at least put a beat to "Your call is important to us".

Nothing like a pounding industrial techno beat to improve your customer service experience.

They let us have Memorial Day for ourselves

But now the Command Chain is revamped and resupplied. They’ve begun a fresh new devastating summer offensive on the night shift privates. New formations that we gotta wake up early for, high ranking officers including actual generals coming in and checking random rooms for cleanliness, etc. Day shifters already got fucked a couple weeks ago but thankfully we got shielded from that by virtue of “muh sleep.”

Not anymore fellas.

This will be a tough one to sham our ways out of, but we’re determined to dig in and find ways around dumb shit.

They've acknowledged that I'm not a customer anymore. I moved on to cheaper pastures with much better customer service.

Nah it’s worse because Article 15s, counseling, stupid formations, and getting dropped to do random exercise in the sweltering heat. Article 15s being the worst because you can lose your weekends for a few weeks mopping or cleaning shit, or you end up losing half your already meagre paycheck or more. But mostly just being chewed out and getting your time wasted to no end.

TRADOC sucks

But I’m almost out to Hawaii. Met the other two people out of our platoon of like, 60, that are going to Hawaii. Cool guy and a real cute girl. Gonna be a fun plane trip.

What's the probability that I die in a school shooting?

Extremely low and unlikely. You don't need to worry about it Gen.

So pretty high.

Not that high

Charge the shooter whilst screaming real loud

Handguns are harder to use than rifles so he’ll likely cant the thing off by a couple degrees and miss. Stay away from the walls or floor because bullets ride the walls and floor. Crouching is your best bet. If the dude’s got a rifle I guarentee he has no experience breaching and clearing. Wait next to the doorway and when he inevitably puts his barrel in past the door like a moron grab it and pull him in, then when he falls from momentum beat the shit out of him until his face is unrecognizable.

Don’t be an easy target.
