Had a similar thing with a new to me PO box number. Took 15 years for the tax people stopped sending mail addressed to the old owner, though it took me going past there and speaking to them a few times to get them to do it.
My unit while on a 12-month deployment and got extended 3 months. Worst 15 months ever. Also lost $40k during 2008 economic meltdown. I was on a fob with no access to internet. I had to come back to the big base after a few weeks to find out.
I was SP4 in the '70s, and an Engineer for AFRTS. I had constant trouble with our supply Sargent, until I called our General's office to request the projector bulbs I needed. Each projector held two, and minimum spare stock was six but thee ID10T was screaming that I was 'wasting them bubs!' He was too stupid to read the label on the box that rated them for a 20 hour life. He was insisting that they should last for years. The General sent six by inter base courier, and gave him a choice: Order the bulbs, per the SOP, or get bused to E1 that day.
@@ibanezisbest831 You would have laughed at the Supply Sargent, when the General's courier walked in with a heavy plastic bag with six bulbs. He was so tall that he had to duck at the doorway to the control room, as the short, overweight Sargent was yelling 'Them's gotta go through me, first!' The courier looked down as he held them almost to the ceiling, "General Marks said to give them to Terrell, only." The Supply Sargent turned to me, "If'n yous eva goes ova my haid again..." I laughed, "Sargent? There won't be a next time. The General was going to bust you to an E1 when I talked to him, but I asked for him to give you one more chance to do your assigned duty. I will not make that request, again." He looked like someone had kicked an old Basset hound as he wandered away. Never piss off an Engineer! Especially one that had just cleaned up a situation that was the General's biggest problem. He told me, "You have taken the biggest technical joke in this theater and turned it into the best functioning unit. You did it without help, and against orders." That was when he pulled out my SP4 pins and told me that I had been promoted for my hard work and dedication to my duty.
@@ibanezisbest831 I did the same things, as an E2. I was at Ft, Rucker in the early '70s. I was assigned to the Weathervision Section. We provided weather data to the flight & Infantry schools. We were mission critical, but a lot of people had no clue what that meant. The MPs were the worst, but I also ran into ID10T officers who couldn't grasp what '15 minutes allowed downtime, without closing the Flight school' meant. I was once told, "You're too hard on Officers!" I laughed and replied, "Only on the ones who really deserve it." It was amazing how fast attitudes changed when I informed an ID10T that if I had to make a phone call, they would be behind bars at Ft. Leavenworth for forcing the Flight School to be shut down. As the MP's Watch Commander yelled at an MP put it, "You ID10T! Do you have any idea about the power that Weathervision wields? If they can't do their duty, the schools are shut down. If that happens, the Army doesn't need the rest of us! Let him do his work, and if he needs ANYTHING, you radio me to get it to him, ASAP!" I was loaned to the A/V section to install a sound system in the General's conference room, so I had anther General on my side. He liked my work so well that the A/V section tried to teal me, so I could take care of things for him, but that was when my transfer papers came through. I was to go to an AFRTS TV station in Vietnam, but I was diverted to Alaska at the last minute. A few months later, I received the remains of the Gates VHF TV transmitter from the Vietnam site. It had numerous bullet holes, and the engineers there had been shot.
S1 OP should have demanded Darius' job after the successful implementation of the mega project (with Darius on leave at the time!). Because he kept quiet, higher mgt brought in butt kisser Anton ("OP will work hard anyway, no need to reward her")
In the military, those "small quality of life" favors and services can buy you more favors and allies than any rank. Small story from my dads time, if you didn't smoke, you should still claim your "smokes ration" and keep them to use as "currency" during times where it's hard to get more (like on multiple days long field exercises), and one of his pals was a good cook, so he made a deal with the officers to be their "personal chef" in return for less duties for him and his squad mates. And THE MOST IMPORANT THING is knowing which officers are "one of the boys" friendly and who're "BY THE BOOK" pencilnecks.
aN e4 DOING cOMMS IN THE us army IS KNOWN AS A sp4, OR JUST AS 'specialist'. i HAD A SUPPLY SARGENT REFUSE TO LET ME HAVE NEEDED repair parts, so I went over the all while he was on leave. I completely rebuilt tah t AFRS TV station. He returned to a stack of requisition forms. 1400 line items, and right at 2000 parts. After that, he refused to order projector bulbs. One phone call later, a Two star general read him the riot act, and told him that one more call from me and he would be reduced to an E1.
Car guy made a huge mistake moving into a homeowner's association, I give him some major Credit,i probably Would be in jail for murder if that happened to me

This HOA boss went power. This HOA boss break in and stole a car because she didn’t like a car.

HOA should be illegal
That last one was pure gold
Hopefully the OP also got that HoA for grand theft auto as those cars have a SIGNIFICANTLY high value.
Loved the last story...lol!
I HAD TO LOOK FOR THIS, NOT POSTED FOR ME ON SUBCRIPTION PAGE
Last story, reminds me of the Embargo in the movie Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Master Blaster asks, "Who runs Barter Town?"
Not understanding the British Army unit's "debt"...? Perhaps it means depot, or possibly dept.
rare car guy made a big mistake by joining a HOA.
when in the military, always take care of your cooks, supply, and comms personnel. E-4 Mafia 4 life!!!!
