3. Blowing up a boulder

Blowing up a boulder

As a former airman in the US Air Force, we didn't think to highly of collective intelligence of the US Army. I joined the Army National Guard for college (screw up in paperwork fucked my GI Bill with the AF). I'll get back to this intelligence thing in a bit...

So, instead of bringing material back after doing some range exercises, that is using C4, det cord, TNT, we had a metric fuckton of detcord left over. We wrapped it around a huge boulder out on the range. We set it off and the boulder simply vanished in a loud boom. It was about the size of the one in gif.

And some prime examples of intelligence in the US Army:

They tell you not to put the explosives in your pockets, particularly TNT. First thing this fuck nut army dude did was put a primed TNT thing in his pocket.

We were doing live mine training. I got to this antitank mine that I was supposed to disarm. The lid had sand in the grooves so it was fucking with the threads. My First Sergeant and Platoon Sergeant picked the thing up off the ground...and started beating on it with a rock. A fucking armed, live mine. With me standing there next to these dumbasses. I didn't hold back on choice words, but I was known for that and was dropped plenty of times.

During CQC training (mount training), an old sergeant was flagging everyone with a locked and loaded M249. He was behind me when we went in to clear the building (live fire). He nearly killed me, but I won't go into that. I ended up fighting that old man. I was a specialist, so I got in a little trouble.

In Iraq, one of the other soldiers in my company got a hold of steroids from the locals. It made him a bit crazy. He got a hold of a cell phone from the bazaar. He met this local Iraqi girl, admittedly she was hot as hell, but that is neither here nor there. They'd call each other. This guy, eventually, would climb over the wall at night, sneak out of (not naming camp we were located), to go visit this girl in the town nearby. I feel like I shouldn't have to explain how stupid that is.

There are more but I have to get over the trauma and remove the walls I built up around those memories. I know I'm forgetting better examples.

All this shit we talked about the other branches in the USAF...I never thought I'd see some of this stupid shit. I seriously thought I was going to die before we even made it to Iraq.
