One pet peeve

[delizzle]

Yeah... Coming of gate duty or any duty... I remember my favorite S**T on a Shingle, ( you know what they called it) sausage and the gravy on toast or biscuits... They still serve that in the chow hall, Captain?... See Hank, now you went and made me hungry... Brother Glen

The chow hall where I am at has an omelet station, panini station, and full salad bar.

I didn't know the Military knew how to finish cooking potatoes and eggs until I went to Lackland for MP school. That is when I learned it was just the MC.

All I know is what its called the Marines and the Navy too... SoS... So is it called the same thing in other branches of the service?... Brother Glen

Same for the Army - and in all the years I served - Not once did I have SOS

UH Saaaaaaaalty?... You can't take a dip in the Atlantic Ocean in California... It's the Pacific!... And if you wanted to take a dip and didn't bring your swim trucks, why didn't you just go out and by some... You missed the Southern California beach hotties... Brother Glen

Who said anything about California!

I was only at Camp Pendleton for one week - wasn't worth going to buy a pair

I dint either until we went to Summer camp, with the Virginia State Guard (BTW - that is not the National Guard)

I was just messing with you a little bit -

and here is the info on the State Guards

When you have 2 separate chain of commands ( ie admin and mission)
and each commander gives conflicting orders.

Yes, it has happened to me - at least twice

A pet peeve about the military? Oh man, where do I begin? I feel like a mosquito at a nudist beach right now. Anyway, being in the Navy (2007-2016), I would say some of the higher ups thinking they could do or go wherever they wanted. For instance, a LT came to our Radio shop door and wanted to come in to talk to our DIVO about something. I told him that we had classified information out and he didn't have a security clearance, so he wasn't allowed in. He argued with me so I got my LCPO to explain this to him. Light bulb went off in LT's head and he finally understood what I was trying to explain to him the first time. So while I overall enjoyed my military experience, there were moments that were frustrating and annoying for sure.
