@Stooping Falcon In the US Air Force they say "The Air Force doesn't honor anything not written down." So during basic training, a guy was told his first assignment after basic training was overseas duty and he says "My recruiter said I won't get overseas duty." The guys handing out the base assignments laughed, saying "That's not how it works. Your recruiter lied to you. (Big surprise, right?) The Air Force won't honor anything unless it's in writing." They were thinking the guy would shut up and go away. Instead, he pulls out his contract... "I know." he says....and hands over his contract, then says "That's why I got it in writing." One trainer takes a look and then says to another, "Hey Charlie, come here! Get a load of *THIS* !" It turns out that this guy's recruiter had taken a standard enlistment contract and typed right on the front at the top "NO OVERSEAS DUTY" in big bold letters and then signed right beneath it, adding a signature block with his unit, rank, etc. Unfortunately the newly minted airman was still stuck. He had 2 choices: since it was in writing and they couldn't honor it, they could let him out of it and send him home. Or he could take the overseas assignment and go with it. And that sucked for him, as he had a wife and 5 kids at home that were all counting on his job covering expenses for the foreseeable future, so....
@@MichaelClark-uw7ex Let's expand upon that...within the King's Armies (British Commonwealth), you must still follow "Illegal" orders. The caveat is that you must raise your objection to the order/s and if your objection is ignored and you are then ordered to continue, you must continue. That is unless it is a threat to life, limb or eyesight... I add this just to make sure we're getting really pedantic. 😉 You can ask me how I know this if you like, but it is a bit of a novel 😂
Military life: never tell an enlisted person to follow the book, especially when on guard duty. Because that’s exactly what we are going to do: follow the book. To the letter. With no exceptions
Yep, never mess with a Marine or a cherry fresh out of basic, on guard duty. A Marine has no friends and the "cherry" just doesn't know better. Once the cherry gets "ripe", then all bets are off.

That last case reminds me of my last job before retirement. I was a maintenance guy in a steel rolling mill, always coming up with improvements to the rolling process,, I would tell one of the engineers or managers what I wanted to do and why, to get the OK, but got fed up when they claimed all the credit and my name would not be mentioned, so any improvements I would then just do them and tell them later, after telling the whole mill, that worked for a few years. But New Management who thought they were gods gift took over. Got called into the office after a few months by big boss and told in no uncertain terms that I had to get their okay, for any improvements, so from then on, I just cruised to retirement
I'm a vet. and was employed as lead tech. in an R&D lab of a high roller DOD related corporation. Open bays were divided by rows of back-to-back lab benches but open from the top shelf to the ceiling. The next bay was manned by another department whose techs were "less than considerate" of keeping their disruptively loud radio at a moderate level. When someone would ask them politely to turn down the volume, they complied but turned it back up as they left and spoke hatefully of them for daring to ask such a thing. I'd had enough. Radios have a circuit in the tuning section to lock onto a signal and follow it as it drifts slightly within its limits. I used a frequency generator as a source and test leads for an antenna, to sneak up to their radio station frequency and cause the radio to follow my signal away from theirs. Volume diminished as the radio followed my stronger signal and they responded by turning it up. This continued until I was sure their radio was at full volume. A long hallway traversed all the labs and when I saw their manager making his way toward their lab, I shut down my frequency generator just as he reached their door. Their radio quickly returned to center frequency of their radio station at FULL VOLUME. Their radio was instantly ordered out of the lab. Veterans are not trained to play fair; their job is to win.
There are two groups of professionals that are marvels at "Malicious Compliance" one is anyone in the military and the other is anyone in a skilled trade (mechanic, engineer, electrician, plumber, carpenter, builder etc.)
Then the masters of bureaucratic malicious compliance, military technicians. Both skilled trades, and soldiers. Admin officers everywhere fear their power, because not only will they comply, then they will pull out the books proving the officer ordered them to do something against the regulations and embarrass them then and there.

The Scotts grew weary of seeing their designs being built by the Japanese, so they made up a set of "plans". Most dutifully, the Japanese stole them and went to work, never questioning the design in the first place. Sure enough, they completed the construction of a large harbor tug and sent it down the ways into the water. Where it promptly capsized and sank...
(last story) its actually marketing that's supposed to query to find out what kinds of products or features that customers might like, and sales' job to sell it when its ready. No wonder that company went under.
I worked at a company that didn't have a marketing dept so it was sales. Sales would tell the customer the program could do x,y, and z, and then come to me and say make it do x, y, and z. There was more than one occasion where I had to turn around and tell them an As400 can not do that. What they're asking is physically impossible for this machine. I wrote check printing/payroll programs.

Also illegal to order someone for 24hour guarde duty. Now you can order 18hour guarde duty then pull shenanigans to get them to work an extra 12hours but straight up ordering 24hours is a nope.

At DeVry Univ. (Chicago) I learned all about flux capacitors. So, when I got my Bachelor's degree in systems analysis and programming from Roosevelt Univ., all my program designs relied heavily on the theory of flux capacitation. Delicious Malicious Compliance.
Was a problem in a factory I worked at. The SOPs were outdated, but the operators were experienced and smart enough to make it work. When a GOOD manager came in, he did a massive review of the SOPs to make them work in reality.

In the 80's i worked for a company that made hand held data entry devices. Sales would come thru and snatch a hand held and give it to a potential customer as a "sample". We did not have enough hand helds to test programs, so we started writing on the plastic case they were engineering only with a soldering iron and made them look UGLY. I knew a frend who repaired video games. Once he and another tech started "dream designing" a video game years ahead of all technology. A salesman over heard this and sold several units to customers. The sales man had to refund the money and lost commissions and a potential customer base. (=no more customers/buyers).

First story: Bullshit. No military officer can refuse to show id at a security checkpoint. They may be unhappy with it, but they *will* comply, or pretty damn soon become ex-officers. Also: If the OP was really "going by the book", then he should have immediately relieved himself from the posting, and reported in, as he was assigned duties that he was not legally qualified to perform. THAT is going by the book, not sassing a General!
That first one is bullshit. There is no way a SPC is going to do something like that and not end up doing flutter kicks until he puked, and then again every day for the following week.
First story: Unbelievable sadly. A good malicious compliance story but very likely not true. There is absolutely no way in hell a soldier with a broken arm and hand in a visible cast is forced into armed guard duty by a superior on his scheduled day off. Especially not for a visible role where there might be witnesses. A totally oblivious Karen would be capable of doing that but a person like that would not be able to make a career in the military. At all. Either OP made up the story as a whole or dramatized the injuries.

LOL. I didn’t let a while class of submarine officer school class up because they weren’t on the access list.
Yoyodyne compensators? John Bigboote will be pleased. Don't tell Buckaroo Banzaii though!
It's Bigboo-TAY
yoyodyne is from Gravitys Rainbow (1973). Buckaroo Banzaii 'borrowed' the name
@@roopcharlie6264 Fair enough. Many names get 'reused' by other authors. With, or sometimes without, permission.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays y'all.
AHH he was guarding Tango
Good day RW from mid Tn. I hope everyone has a great day and a Merry Christmas.
the Korean counterparts to the U.S. Army are called KATUSA’s
Korean Attaches to The U.S. Army
BARC is the GOAT!
In the 80's i worked for a company that made hand held data entry devices. Sales would come thru and snatch a hand held and give it to a potential customer as a "sample". We did not have enough hand helds to test programs, so we started writing on the plastic case they were engineering only with a soldering iron and made them look UGLY.
I knew a frend who repaired video games. Once he and another tech started "dream designing" a video game years ahead of all technology. A salesman over heard this and sold several units to customers. The sales man had to refund the money and lost commissions and a potential customer base. (=no more customers/buyers).
@ CARL.....Salesman sold something that did NOT exist? MAN! Talk about MUCH EGG ON FACE! GREAT STORY@
What does the title have to do with any of the three stories???
Loved the project skunk story!🦨💨😆
The military story, was almost as good as my first requested Captain's mast.
Busy again. Getting ahead of the holidays?
The Spec 4 Mafia strikes again!😂
Hello from Poland RedWheel and everyone!!!
It would be nice if your titles matched the content. Other than that the stories are entertaining.
The graphics are completely mis-leading. They have nothing to do with the stories.
On that last story, you skunked them. Lollllll
Good afternoon RedWheel
Good afternoon everyone
That's sooooooooo funny.
So which co makes stuff all in orange? Milwaukee? Thought they were orangey-red.
fluke.....
@@slammer00x All their stuff was originally grey or beige, then they went to yellow. And they've always been good, this other company doesn't sound that way at all.
wrong headline
hi redwheel
Oh a new video yes
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Third story. Too much this technical gobbledygook for normal humans. Why include a story where the details could only be understood by 0.000002% of the population?
1) Another story made up by a civilian.
1:27)A Doctor would have given quarters. Off the Duty Roster.
1:41) 3 magazines. 2 in the pouch and 1 in the pistol.
3:58)He said 4 star general. All generals(O-10) and admirals(O-10) have 4 stars.
4:58)What was the pay grade and rank of the Commissioned Officer? O-1? O-2? O-3? Was the CO his Officer Commanding(OC)?
8:04) Czar, Csar, Tsar, or Tzar are pronounced as CAESAR.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
why does your head line have absolutely nothing to do with the content of this video? I loathe this sort of dishonesty/incompetence.
2 bit... lol ...
First story:
Bullshit.
No military officer can refuse to show id at a security checkpoint.
They may be unhappy with it, but they *will* comply, or pretty damn soon become ex-officers.
Also:
If the OP was really "going by the book", then he should have immediately relieved himself from the posting, and reported in, as he was assigned duties that he was not legally qualified to perform.
THAT is going by the book, not sassing a General!
That first one is bullshit. There is no way a SPC is going to do something like that and not end up doing flutter kicks until he puked, and then again every day for the following week.
Taken.
Love being early! Yay!
You're late. You're late for a very very important date!
@@dawlben2247 Not late for RedWheel! The horror!
First story:
Unbelievable sadly.
A good malicious compliance story but very likely not true.
There is absolutely no way in hell a soldier with a broken arm and hand in a visible cast is forced into armed guard duty by a superior on his scheduled day off. Especially not for a visible role where there might be witnesses.
A totally oblivious Karen would be capable of doing that but a person like that would not be able to make a career in the military. At all.
Either OP made up the story as a whole or dramatized the injuries.
A made up story? On reddit? No way
@@Pro_Triforcer
You misread.
Believable.
That is not the same concept as true.
Some things are one but not the other.
Some things are neither of them.
Some are both.
This story may or may not be true but it is not believable at all.
THAT is the issue here.
My late daddy, Vietnam era Marine, would have LOVED the military compliance story. He, was just following the "rule book". 🤣🪖 🇺🇸
What OBD-II company was that ?
