Dumb shit, lack of leadership and the usual suspects.

   It's deployment time boys and girls and what kind of train up could we have without one of our favorite past times. Dumb shit. If it wasn't for Dumb shit it just would not feel like the Army. Without Dumb shit the whole Army command would fall to it's knees, officers would cry and those who "plan" things would have nothing to "plan around.
   My lasy deployment I kept an online journal about said Dumb shit. This time around I told myself that I would not bother with anything of the sort and keep myself busy with other means of intertainment. However, Dumb shit has once again reared it's ugly head and I have no choice but to vent in a way that the whole world should feel my pain.

   Let's start with The first major fuck up, shall we? Before we even left for training it came down the wire that a sensitive item was missingfrom the arms room. a Peq-2. It's a laser sight that can only be seen through night vision devices. After the usual dumping of everyones gear after having just spent hours of packing, the item was not found. Our officers in charge had it in thier heads that one of us cut throat thieves just had to have stolen it. There just simply could not have been any other way it would have gone missing.
   Then we searched cars and wall lockers looking for that bastard of a thief that would steal such a usable item as a Peq-2. No dice. The next genius plan of action was to round up the entire company of 120 soldiers and stick them all in a space barely big enough for 20. Then one soldier at a time would spend ten minutes walking a pre-determined route that would eventually lead them to the amnesty box. if they had the item they were to dump it in the box. no questions asked, nobody would get in trouble.
   After being threatened with legal action, article 15's and sodomy we simply began to say "I bet it's still in the arms room." We even told those in charge that it was probably still in the arms room. we suggested that it was still iun the arms room. we did everything but straight up say "hey, fuckers. Did you look in the arms room?"
   Four hours later they find the item. In the arms room. Our commander offered to apology for suspecting us to be a bunch of dip dhit thieving assholes that would steal an item that is 100% useless in the civilian world.
