So the guy that cut down the power lines was lost for days I heard and normally if you cut down a poll the power lines will just hold the poll up so he cut down more so the weight of the polls would break the power lines somewhere in the chain. From what I remember The guy ran out of food and water, so cutting them down was a last ditch effort to live. It's been a while since I read about the incident.
Pretty much, you get into a formation and you can expect to be inspected. rationale is that if you can't be disciplined while safe in garrison you will not be when you are in combat. Leadership fails so hard to instill that meaning into soldiers that it is no wonder they go around all jacked up.
If it's a Zach Hazard story it's definitely going to be a "fun" story lol. I don't know if anyone in your chat had mentioned this, but when you were confused about Zach's comment on Water Purification Specialist, that was Mike's job when he was in the Marines. The military does love it's acronyms, it gets funnier when there's acronyms within acronyms of our equipment
I got a good ass chewing in the Navy when I needed to calibrate the 48E search radar on an aircraft carrier. To do so, you need to have a target to lock onto that is moving. You're supposed to submit a request for a test flight and yada yada yada, but I came up with a solution. I locked onto a passing seagull instead. Calibration went through and I was done. No muss, no fuss ... except the seagull burst into flames from the microwave energy of the radar and plummeted into the city park. Thankfully, nothing caught on fire, but it frighted the hell out of a few families that where in the park. I will point out that while I got chewed out, the Navy also added locking onto in flight wildlife as a possible means of "emergency" radar calibration.
This is freakin' hilarious. I always heard the joke that if you piss off an Aegis ship you'll be having two-headed children. I dunno if this is true but I hope it is because that is the best stupid-but-smart thing story I've heard in a long time.
TOW missiles, by the way, are designed primarily for Anti-Tank work. I think their warheads are rated to blast through over a meter of solid structural steel. Armor is tougher, especially modern composites, but still shaped-charge warheads are nothing to laugh at. ...Unless you have spaced armor, then you can laugh at it.
I was a marine in can confirm it's not any better if not worse. I got medical discharge in my Mos training. I expected boot camp to suck dick and I didn't expect it to be cool all the time, but 90% of the military is waiting. Even better if your mos wants to be diet boot camp just after being in combat training(cause marines we have out combat training before doing our job training) in my time in mct our instructors were mostly combat mos marines and those mos don't care about stuff like drill, appearance, and other stuff on or off deployment. With my Mos and I was a fueler it i want from boot camp bullshit to my combat instructors trying to have me get rid of the boot camp mindset, back to boot camp bullshit. So, trying to figure out how to go about things through the training period warps your mind. And when my command team came to me, I was gonna get discharged. I wasn't that sad. I miss some parts, but I hated a lot more things. I won't say don't join cause some people thrive in their environment, I didn't, but I wouldn't tell somebody that wants to join to not too cause you have to experience it for yourself to know if you really like it or dislike it.

Yeah, you most likely have to cut down several polls to get enough weight to break powerlines.
Shaving is a sign of discipline, and your squad leader is responsible for their squad's discipline. It's discipline for the sake of discipline.

I recommend his wild hog story

As someone who has had a laser pointed at them right before a training flight please don't do that.

That poor pilot...
Hope they brought their brown trousers that day!
Water specialist, learning how to take any water source and make it drinkable. (See the movie, "In the Army Now.")

Merry Christmas to me I guess😅
I hope you check more stories from Zach, it's hilarious
Im not buying that last story.
Saskatchewan is so flat you could see Regina from 5 days away lol
dude was on his boat in Wollaston Lake. he hit bad weather and got stranded. he was found under his boat highly distressed.
Last guy, so to save his own life, he put in danger, potentially, countless lives.
And that's "genius"?
* first question: why he was there?
Google it.
@@Physhi No
As a rule of thumb: go to any down river and you'll get into an inhabited area.
Why endanger anyone else?
