I have a lot of respect for my 2LT. His first day he came up and asked a question and then said "yeah I have no idea what I'm doing." It felt good, he's not stuck up or thinks he knows everything.
I was a lcpl when I had a major walk up to me on a range and just start bullshitting and ask me to teach him to use the 60mm Mortars. That man ended up being the best fucking officer I ever met. He and I used to just bullshit every time I seen him for the next 6 years
@@kristopherhilton8065 A little bit of humility goes a longer way than anyone can ever imagine in the military. I still miss the female LT I worked for in my military intelligence unit, and shockingly it was because she seriously valued what we had to offer to our mission and took us seriously. Sadly, she was totally brushed aside by a regular shit-show self-advancing sergeant-first class and she respected the NCOs, but I never forgot how seriously she took making sure her enlisted folk were okay.
Lmao I’m a 2LT at Bragg and I find stuff like this hilarious lol. Now I haven’t ran in to this problem and I hope I never do but still I was almost in tears good joke.
I am SO glad people didn't have cell phones like this when I was still in, and I was the dumb LT for a while! Yeah, I never would have contacted the 1SGT...
Willysmb44 green LTs need to be w/in 10m of their NCO at all times lol which is why our brand new JAG LT went to the BDE S4 to go get her ACH fitted properly 😂😂😂
We already have a example of that the new CG 2nd Marine Division at Camp Lejeune read the article in task and purpose on his style of micromanagement if it wasn't so sad that be hilarious or better yet watch Angry cops on the same subject
For $500 I can bring a bear to an area of your choosing when an Lt is lost. Give me a week's notice so I can set the bear traps and collect your bear. Just say when, and have your checkbooks ready
When I was in the Navy, we were in the underway at night. The Officer of the Deck (OOD ) who was a Ensign and was seriously and had been in the Navy for about 1 year ( Second Lieutenant) was seriously off course. He was 26 miles off course LOL. He was told of the problem by a E3 , E5 , E6 and an E8 but insisted that he wasn’t off course. Approximately 30 minutes went by when CO stepped on the bridge. He looked at everything he chose to and then come charts. It didn’t take him long to figure out the same problem. I was a lookout that night but I couldn’t get far enough away from the yelling because I was attached to a sound powered phone cable. I was an E2 when that happened and I was an E4 when the same CO was transferred 1 1/2 years later. That Ensign made Lieutenant junior grade ( first Lieutenant) right after the Commanding Officers transfer. 2 years as an Ensign in the Navy has got to be an embarrassing record and I’m sure no officer wants that. Remember Officers, listen to your enlisted men. Learn from your mistakes like someone else and don’t be so convinced that you know everything because you don’t. That incident happened more than 30 years ago but the logic still applies today no matter what branch of the military that you’re in.
100% Accurate. Not in military, but in cadets. It's the same when a new adult joins, tries to boss you about and then asks you for basic questions because they don't know. It hurts. A lot.
To be fair the 2nd Lieutenants are as new as a private the only difference is they have a degree and are getting paid more. They all got to start somewhere.
I had a First Lt. Navy SEAL out on the Lnd Nav course at Ft. Brag in 1977. He got lost and walked all the way to Fayetteville. Before he was able to locate his position.
James Pridemore lmao now I just need to get some popcorn and wait for people to ask you what the ID-10-T form is, the box of grid squares will be a bonus
I remember meeting my new plt commander and hearing him say he just moved out of his dads house. As acting plt Sgt I of course told him to never repeat that to our Marines lol.
Yep, sounds about right. When I was in, a boot Lt ordered me to "just shoot the rocket" on a MICLIC. Should have seen his face when it went out of sight!! Never did see that young man again after that incident.
The worse part is this kind of things are pretty universal. I'm italian and served as LT over here some 15 years ago and this is goddamn accurate ahahaha
Ahhhh, Shave Tail Lieutenants, tied for first place as the most lethal creature to ever stalk a battlefield. The Sergeant is the most lethal creature to the enemy and the 2LT is most lethal to friendlies. :P
A very young officer bitched at some pals of mine in the Rhodesian Armoured Car Regt. At a quick break they all pissed off the side of there vehicles instead of dismounting. The LT stopped fussing when a young sergeant interrupted and said simply, "Mines..."
Heard a story once (yeah, yeah, haven't we all) about a noob Airman that was ordered to "get 20 feet of flight line" and twice asked his Chief if the Chief was sure while in front of witnesses. Chief said "yes". So the Airman goes out, and having civilian experience driving construction equipment, finds a back hoe and digs up 20 square feet of the flight line..... you probably know where this is going...
In all honesty land navigation isn’t hard at all... it took me an hour to learn and I still haven’t forgot! Then again I had a huge drive to find out how it works because the mountain I was backpacking was very remote.
I was never a 1sgt or 2lt but I have usually been management, in any and all of my jobs, over a fistful of winning sperm the world wishes had been swallowed. This had me in fucking tears.
Our LT actually called us once because he got lost on the way to an LZ on camp mackall while using a DAGR...I think he had been lost for about two hours lol.
Honestly? When I was in the Army, I may not have liked some LTs, but they seemed to mostly know their job ("Carry on, Sergeant!"). Of course, we were FOs, so maps and orientation were kinda important...
OMG!! I totally had a 2LT just like that!!! Thanks for the laugh man that was great. I can remember telling a butter bar one time "I have more time taking a sh*t in the field in Korea, than you even have in the Army, so F off Sir :)"
We had one. He did green to gold. We thought he would be smart. He was even in a smart MOS. He comes back and I swear to all things holy it was like they took all the awesome and accurate land nav ability out of him and gave him a new LTs ability. He got lost every single time after that course
I have a lot of respect for my 2LT. His first day he came up and asked a question and then said "yeah I have no idea what I'm doing." It felt good, he's not stuck up or thinks he knows everything.
Those are the badasses in training

The rustling is the 1SG coming to strangle him
Legend has it LT Green is still wandering to this day...
As a retired NCO (and Platoon Sergeant) I endorse these texts.
I was laughing so hard I had to keep pausing the video because I was missing it.
pjamese3
Me too
What direction?
Left
FUCKING DYING
Cardinal Direction, Sir?
"Umm..... South...
But usually only for the winter."
We use to tell Our LT's,that you couldn't spell Lost without LT...
You had me at 1SGT
misstimountaincop95b sounds like that Lt had a death wish screwing with a CSM😂
Lmao I’m a 2LT at Bragg and I find stuff like this hilarious lol. Now I haven’t ran in to this problem and I hope I never do but still I was almost in tears good joke.
Claystead lmao
Claystead Can’t spell Lost & Late without LT
Yeah just to caveat on that, good joke guys.
Yeah it’s not a joke...
You missed the point... it’s not a joke. 2nd Lt = PFC/SPC.
I am SO glad people didn't have cell phones like this when I was still in, and I was the dumb LT for a while! Yeah, I never would have contacted the 1SGT...

Lol it seems like something thw y should've emphasized in ocs/rotc/academy...
One day that Lt will be a General.
David Boson Everyone's got to start somewhere. Some... a little more behind than others.
Good God!! Dx
David Boson doubt it

and the army will lose their way
Holy fuck never have I seen something more accurate
I haven't laughed this hard in a long time, as a now retired Navy Chief from the Brown Water Navy I have experienced this a few times.
Vons Motorwerks neither have I.
Had to keep pausing it to wipe the tears....omg

The pond don't look right it's brown on the map it's blue. That was funny.
This entire video was funny
100% Accurate. Not in military, but in cadets. It's the same when a new adult joins, tries to boss you about and then asks you for basic questions because they don't know. It hurts. A lot.
That_One_Nerd_Guy Yeah in the Sea Cadets we have that one new staff guy and he doesn't know shit..
To be fair the 2nd Lieutenants are as new as a private the only difference is they have a degree and are getting paid more. They all got to start somewhere.
Definitely Not Michael ...and have probably been going to a military academy for four years but yeah...same thing
Kolp Lako Not all of them and I assume the military academy life is different from the actual military life.
Kolp Lako I think someone should be enlisted for a bit in order to become a good leader then get a bachelors and get commissioned. But that’s me
You know its funny, three years later and I am still watching this because it's funny and relatable
ROTC Cadet here and future jag officer, trust me they drill into to us to LISTEN TO YOUR SENIOR NCO's
I had a First Lt. Navy SEAL out on the Lnd Nav course at Ft. Brag in 1977. He got lost and walked all the way to Fayetteville. Before he was able to locate his position.
You sir earned a subscribe and bell there I was laughing hard enough to get a damn headache. “The pond doesn’t look right?” 😂😂😂
All of this conversation was recorded on the appropriate ID-10-T form and placed in a box of Grid Squares.
James Pridemore lmao now I just need to get some popcorn and wait for people to ask you what the ID-10-T form is, the box of grid squares will be a bonus
I agree...but first...could you go to the supply sergeant and get me 100m of Shore Line please?
Make sure you say it has to be stamped with headlight fluid.
@@jakzine540 a box marked tactical vehicle wax will also work, they are also a good place to hide the spare keys for 5 tons
Your going to need a lot of ID 10 T's🤣
I remember meeting my new plt commander and hearing him say he just moved out of his dads house. As acting plt Sgt I of course told him to never repeat that to our Marines lol.
That was HILARIOUS!!!!!!
Thx for posting!
I just sent this to my son, a 14 year USMC 0811 Btry GySgt. Frigging hilarious!!!
That’s so epically spot on, I was rolling lmao. LT 11-up and 3-down
Am I the only one 20 seconds into this video asking why the 2lt is texting a 1st sgt for help when he could just pull up the map feature on his phone?
We
used to say in the Marines. The only
thing more deadly than a marine with a rifle, is a Lt. with a map and compass
Hhaahahahaha very funny. I am a 2LT and I got lost a couple of time. But if I dont know something I ask.
He's probably got to deal with a hard time speaking to his SGT with his broken ass English lmao
Yep, sounds about right. When I was in, a boot Lt ordered me to "just shoot the rocket" on a MICLIC. Should have seen his face when it went out of sight!! Never did see that young man again after that incident.
Voo Doo1 You must’ve spent hours looking for the rocket. I don’t remember exactly how far it goes but it definitely gets yeeted.
*"Roger that...and water!!"* LMFAO
Bravo!! Haven't laughed this hard in a long time!! I'm a retired army master sargeant!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 "left" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Artskee Had to be my favorite part.
Vets that were enlisted just had flashbacks of there LT. I was teaching my LT land nav and combat maneuvers when I was a PFC
I'm not even in the military and yet I've been crying because I've been laughing so hard. I love this 1st sergeant!
agreed
Everyone in the world needs to see this
My Platoon Sgt “anyone have a Granade?”
Also my platoon sgt staring at Graduating cadets in parade
Two words you can’t spell without LT ..Lost and Late😭🤣
Loved it, you sent me back about 65 years to when I was in Korea and had to put up with 90 day wonders.
The worse part is this kind of things are pretty universal. I'm italian and served as LT over here some 15 years ago and this is goddamn accurate ahahaha
He said "you're on your own Noble, Carter out"
Ahhhh, Shave Tail Lieutenants, tied for first place as the most lethal creature to ever stalk a battlefield. The Sergeant is the most lethal creature to the enemy and the 2LT is most lethal to friendlies. :P
This was effin hilarious!
Love the deletions
91 2LTs got lost in the woods.
This is so fucking true. Just like Second Lieutenants arguing in the offices over some dumb crap.
Only if we could tell LTs how we really feel
Just know....if you're aspiring to be an officer, chances are this is what youre going to be like.
This was surprisingly funny
If I become a officer I hope I don’t end up like this
Imagine autocorrect working that well
Lol this is funny af do more of this
Spot on!!
lmaorofl thanks Dave.
Nice work.
“Roger that...and water” 😂 it’s sad cause this 100% accurate!
The pond on the map is blue part took me out 😂😂😂
Easily the trust and funniest thing I have ever seen on RUclips!
What is the difference between an E2 and an O1?
The E2 has been promoted.
LMFAO!!!!! One minute, let me sight in the scope of my 50 cal.
A very young officer bitched at some pals of mine in the Rhodesian Armoured Car Regt. At a quick break they all pissed off the side of there vehicles instead of dismounting. The LT stopped fussing when a young sergeant interrupted and said simply, "Mines..."
Haha, I feel like my 1SG would go out of his way to find the LT just to make him get in the front leaning rest for a few hours.
Everybody mocks the butterbar, till the butterbar is named Simo Häyhä...
Now if he could only find a few feet of flight line and a box of squelch he'd be set!
Heard a story once (yeah, yeah, haven't we all) about a noob Airman that was ordered to "get 20 feet of flight line" and twice asked his Chief if the Chief was sure while in front of witnesses. Chief said "yes". So the Airman goes out, and having civilian experience driving construction equipment, finds a back hoe and digs up 20 square feet of the flight line..... you probably know where this is going...
God, the 1SG had a lot of goddamn thoughts in his mind but effectively opted out to chat with him politely.
What a Cheeky guy that 2LT was.....
I may be alone, but I fucking love the typing sound
Love it! The 2nd LTs that I dealt with were helicopter pilots, how did I survive?
Must be hard having to type everything twice
It's beautiful, I laughed, I cried, I laughed harder.
I only had a Platoon for 90 days, but hot damn this is how 2LTs operate.
Leave it to butter bars, what do you expect.
West Pointers, glad I enlisted before becoming an ROTC cadet
In all honesty land navigation isn’t hard at all... it took me an hour to learn and I still haven’t forgot! Then again I had a huge drive to find out how it works because the mountain I was backpacking was very remote.
Cyka Of Blyats Had to learn Land Navigation and map reading in high school JROTC. Not really difficult.
I learned land navigation in 5th grade......
I was never a 1sgt or 2lt but I have usually been management, in any and all of my jobs, over a fistful of winning sperm the world wishes had been swallowed. This had me in fucking tears.
and this is why you always send some one even if its a privet with the lt where ever he goes
18 2nd Lt.'s disliked this video
Top be like the fuck you want butter bar? Oooppss as you were, Yes Sir?
It seems that 25 butter bars have seen this video now, and I was laughing my ass off the whole time. Thank you for posting this.
Our LT actually called us once because he got lost on the way to an LZ on camp mackall while using a DAGR...I think he had been lost for about two hours lol.
So 2nd Lt are mostly Captain Sobel
Ah, Butter Bars....

This is soooooo true!
Hooah!!!!
The typing sounds like gunfire
Lost it at "I don´t know where they are either"
You can have lost without LT
Actual TRUE STORY !!!!
And apparently, he has a phone, which implies a GPS and Google Maps....
I remember my LT freaked out when the CO asked him for a frontline trace and he had the FBCB2 right in his face the whole time lol
Drafted 1969, Not a d... thing has changed
tell me about the rabbits george
If this was in Fort Drum there would actually be bears.
I was stationed at Drum during my time in, 1st Brigade 1/87, and I'm getting the picture now...yep, hilarious.
Sounds like stories my dad told about his time in the Air Force.
The water on the map is blue...... had me dying!
That’s some real life funny shit!!!!
