There's a couple things wrong tho......baries is a med board is why it seemed so nice and untouchable.

That's why you always carry 20 copies of your profile with you at all times, and if they rip up all of those, you pull out the 500 extras you keep in your footlocker.
I destroyed forests making copies of my profile. First sergeant loved tearing up my profile to cover for the NCO that injured me. Ohhhh the big green wiener.
That's probably why he is going to JAG. I regrettably signed an Article 15 over something stupid because there was no punishment just to get it over with. I kind of wish I feel it just so I didn't feel so dirty. But it was not worth me loosing and getting real corrective action.
@@sh3416 As a civilian who's only affiliation with the military is being a BRAT, my question is couldn't the soldier with the shaving profile and damaged property file a complaint with JAG on his leadership for this?
I won't lie. I've been retired from the Army for almost four years, and watching this makes me want to reach through the screen and punch the CO. right in the face. I've heard stories like this in many units.
One of my coworkers still doesn't understand how I am willing to be so "combative" to higher ranking people and will straight up call them out or challenge them. I haven't quite gotten into things this bad but got close. But I also know when to pick the fight and plan out what the results would be; one fight I didn't pursue was with the vice base commander, but there is plenty of record showing that he was a dirt bag and got himself into trouble.
3:03 when we were deployed, I was walking the hallway of battalion headquarters, I walked past the office and I heard “all I wanted was some sun screen, I was willing to pay for it” I always wondered who it was. Now I know…
Gotta love NCO's with an amazing sense of humor. I had an E7 who, at his retirement party, in front of the entire squadron and a good portion of the base command staff, got up in front of everyone and said "To all you younger Airmen, I'm gling to tell you the three keys to success in this unit: 1: Know your job. 2: take credit for the things those under you do. And 3: get on your fucking knees." And then he walked out, never to be seen again. Like a fucking hero.
I had a captain tell me my rank (sergeant) wasn’t legit unless I have an article 15 in my record somewhere. I did an “ummmm actually...” he smiled and then left me alone.
My grandfather was a first Sergeant and he got phone calls from the sheriff's office most weekends. "Hey, first Sergeant. It's Deputy Dewey. We have Airman Snuffy in lockup right now." "Ok. I'll pick him up Monday."
The deputy told me that the Shirt told him he had been drinking and could not pick me up. He sent my MSgt with 3-4 alcohol incidents to get me, instead. The deputies thought the whole episode was funny.
At Langley AFB I heard a story of an A1C who got arrested for DUI in Myrtle Beach, the shirt had to drive there to get him, if traffic is good the drive takes about 6 hours each way. That kid definitely lost a stripe.
Marine who failed the run: NJP for buying water at the store during work hours because the water fountains are sketchy Marine with a perfect run time: let off with a warning for violating curfew in Japan, getting drunk during a dry spell, causing thousands of dollars of property damage in drunken rage, picked up by NCIS that same night. Just had to pay the damages Seen it
This, this right here. Just had a guy come from AIT saying they were threatening Article 15s for sunburns, but then wouldn't allow them to have any over the counter medicine which included sunscreen. Smh.
If you get out of the army without getting at least 1 article 15 at some point there's 1 of 3 reasons. 1. You didn't stay in long enough 2. Your a super soldier PT stud that gives sergeant major a hard on 3. You didn't live life hard enough Greatest first sergeant I ever had told me when I was a pfc "you'd be hard pressed to find a 'good' nco who doesn't have at least 1 article 15 in their career." Essayons!
Or you are in a unit with real discipline, and like there over being sent to the fleet. Private 40’s hands is not my ideal back up, or private got himself a antibiotic resistant std. having my good cookie was priceless.
@@elsalvaje6209 Read. I learned early on you can request a court martial for an article 15 hearing. That is dangerous, because if you are wrong the consequences are worse, but if the evidence is garbage they can't win a court martial.
As a lifer, I can honestly say, that I have seen my fair share of these type procedures. The first story, you will not believe, mainly because of the soldiers name. I was a SQD LDR, had an E4 who's last name was Dumass, true facts. He was a generally good soldier but had an issue with getting up in the morning. Several times this soldier was late for PT and the 0900 formation. As we all know, you just don't be late for PT. Anyway, he ended up missing the DIV run so the CO demanded action. So I laid out a plan, if he missed formation again, I was referring him to the PLT SGT. If he missed a 2nd formation, he would be recommended to the 1SG/CO. Paperwork was in place, it was up to him. Within 3 months, he had had his first company grade ART 15. Within 6 months he was chaptered. Last story. My unit went to JRTC in Jan for a training rotation. I volunteered my SQD to work the night shift which ran from 1600-0800. Our training cycle went for 17 days and my SQD performed above expectations. When we got back to Garrison I put all of my soldiers in for AAM's for various actions. Within a couple days, all recommendations for awards were sent back. The reason, clerical errors that needed corrected. So I went to the S-1, sat down with the clerk, SPC (I don't remember her name) and together we fixed all the recommendations. I promptly resubmitted them and within a week, they were sent back with a note on the packet the stated; "I don't give awards for soldiers who just do their job". This pissed me off, but as an E5, not much I could do. Placed all hard copies in a file folder and that was it. Fast forward 3 months and I get called out for an award. I was recommended for an award and they approved it, get this, for outstanding leadership during the same training cycle that they denied my recommendations for. Needless to say, I was pissed. The 1SG, read the award, presented it and completed the other 3 soldiers awards. When he was done, everyone clapped, I requested to speak to the unit. I explained that I had submitted them for awards and they were denied because in our unit, soldiers don't get awards for just doing their jobs. I called the unit to attention, informed the 1SG that refused to accept the award and requested that he remove it from my 201. What I didn't know was the BN CO and CSM were standing to the side and witnessed my actions. This led to me and my entire chain of command being called to the BN HQ and a 15-6 investigation. In the end, all my soldiers received their awards, 2 had ETS'd and 2 had PCS'd. My 1SG was asked to retire or face a bunch of charges for gross negligence. I was verbally reprimanded for calling out the chain of command at the formation and not using the open door policy.
@@fabledhistorian7590 I obeyed an unlawful order by an NCO (squad leader) to operate a personally owned vehicle in violation of base regulations. After being given extra duty and restriction for 4 weeks without NJP, the acting 1st Sgt then filed NJP and CO elevated it to field grade. I demanded a summary court martial as I had already been punished informally. The JAG refused to file charges and I got an early out. General Discharge with Honorable Conditions and no loss of rank, awards or commendations.
As a former soldier I regret how hard I worked to avoid ever getting an Article 15. I realize now getting an Article 15 would've been way better than the literal abuse I put up with instead.
I swear during my article 15 hearing I had this young, milk on his breath captain try to tell me what a shit soldier I was. Because I didn't let my Platoon Sergeant talk to me crazy. Only thing I did was stand up and politely asked him who the F@ck was he talking to like that. He felt threatened and went and cried to our Sergeant Major. Then asked me why did I do it. I told the Captain that I volunteered just like he did. I didn't volunteer to be abused and disrespected. I'm still shocked I did 20 years.
So freaking accurate. I remember my NCO getting DUI and his squad(myself included) was smoked for it then got counseling statements on why we don't let our NCO drink and then get behind the wheel.
Yup this is how the Army is now a days nothing but cliques and circle jerks, I've seen a guy get his domestic assualt case swept under the rug because he know nothing but book work and running fast. But a actual leader gets art 15 and chaptered by getting a DUI that later got dropped in court due to him being below the legal limit.
You're telling me, I was forced to write an article 15 for a guy who's spouse assaulted him first, and all he did was push her away while she hit him multiple times. He was able to get away, we even havd evidence it happened and yet he is the one getting punished and discharged. Luckily his command is trying to get an honorabld for him, but it's still so unmeccessary to separate him when his wife cant keep her hands to herself
while I've seen this go down for sunburn before, even Captain Jack Sparrow knows that "people aren't cargo, mate". you're not soldiers aren't government property, soldiers are government contractors. a fact that a LOT of 1SGs/CPTs and above seem to forget....which is how things like this video come to be.
The ironic and sad thing about this, is that I know of soldiers who have had this done to them. I even know of 2 soldiers with shaving profiles, who have had it torn up in front of them. When your E5 and below, Rank makes right in the Army.
If you have a shaving profile, it's in your medical record. If you get written up for that, I'd ask to speak to JAG first. JAG gets a copy from your medical record and would ask the CO if he really wants to go forward with this. Of course, you're a marked man at that point.
@@austinferrell4921 Generally speaking, if you oppose the command they will have it in for you. That's not how it's supposed to work, but we're talking about human beings here. Putting on a uniform doesn't change that. If you challenge them (the command) they will nit pick you to death. They will judge pretty much everything you do and look at it in a negative light pretty much exclusively. I saw a guy in my company who opted for a courts martial rather than "office hours" (USMC) and he won. Well, that went over like a screen door on a submarine. Thankfully, the battalion had a regulation that required him to move to a different company or he could opt for a different battalion on base. He opted for a different battalion.. The powers that be, be they Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines don't like to lose and when they do, they'll still extract their pound of flesh in some other way. Oh, and I'm sure the company commander in that guys new command got a phone call from his old command....so yes, it can mark you for the rest of your career. But I will say this, there ARE officers who give a guy a chance to start fresh....but it's not totally, but somewhat rare.
OMG. Nailed it. That is daily life in the Army. The guy doing the real work gets fried. The guys that go above and beyond are always treated like this. over 23 years, seen it and lived it.
As I was getting out of the army, I had 6 appointments in one week and I was put on gate guard so I had to cancel them all. I missed cancelling one of them and my E6 wrote me up for an article. The CO took one look at it and told me to get out of his office.
Heres my article 15 story. Was stationed at ft.benning to help train basic trainees. Specifically for mounted react to contact training. I was a driver of hmv and other vehicles and instructed basic trainees about the vehicles. The company I was in often provides soldiers for military honor funeral detail. Well a month straight we had a range every day of the work week. We were usually pretty buisy but atleast 1 work day wouldnt have a range. NOt this month. Meaning every day of the work week we were out on the range training basic trainees for a month straight. And on the weekends some of us would be selected for Military honor funeral detail. I was always selected for this detail. Because i was one of the more trustworthy. And always had my dress uniform ready when inspected. I always kept it ready for inspection. So for a month straight I was working every day. no days off from 6 am to 5 pm or longer if the range hadnt been completed before 5pm. And on the weekends i was part of military honor detail. Now during this month is when my drivers license needed to be renewed. But I was never able to make it to the dmv because i was always at work. I think you see where this is going now. After the uptenth time of telling my nco that I need to have one day off a range to go to the dmv to get my license renewed. . The day my licenese expires came and went and I get stopped by a cop heading to work for pt. I accidentally had my brights on. Civilian Cop: Sir do you know your license is expired. Yes sir. I just havent had a chance to get to the dmv because of my duties. Stop making excuses son. Get it fixed. Heres your ticket. I got an article 15 because i got that ticket. I got that ticket because my duties didnt allow me to make it to the dmv. Exact words out of my company commander: You should have got it renewed last month. lost of rank, 2 weeks of extra duty (which consisted of my normal duty then from 6pm to 12 am I was at battalion mowin lawns cleaning all that jaz. 2 months later i was repromoted to the rank i had before the article 15. OH and I fought the ticket. Went to court explained the situation. And the judge dropped the ticket.
@The ReflexBoxer I mistakenly misunderstood that even as a 27 year old man I wasn’t able to have an unopened bottle of wine (a gift) in my tech school dorm room. I was Air Force though so... maybe did different
During my first enlistment, I earned 6 Article 15's (5 Company grade, 1 Field grade), all for Insubordination. I was young and dumb, and could not keep my mouth shut when stupid shit was being done or ordered. Once you got on the lifer's radar, they would call you on even the slightest thing. I was an enigma, as I was very good in the field (top TOW and Dragon gunner and gung ho when performing missions, weapon firing etc...), but when I got back into garrison, I was a real pain in the ass for command. Loved and hated. Still did over 2 years as an E-1 over 2, and received an Honorable discharge. They even allowed me to reenlist a decade later. Finished out with 6 years total, no more Article 15's, and rose in rank to hard stripe E-4 Corporal. Go figure!
@@remydaitch9815 I did not want any more rank than Corporal. Perfect for me. Just enough to get into the NCO club, but not too much responsibility. If an Officer came around and wanted to know what was happening, I could just shrug my shoulders, point to a Sergeant and say 'I don't know sir, you will have to ask Sgt. Jones over there!
Yep I saw three of my battle buddies get a Article 15 for getting a sunburn on their heads because they said they damaged government property and I Laughed and Laughed.
You all laugh but as a former battalion commander I saw some of these come across my desk as an appeal and you just shake your head. Get the CSM involved and go talk to the company commander on what the hell is going on in C company.
I was a 27D (Paralegal Specialist) Commanders like this were why I ETS'd. I hated writing Article 15''s and Courts Martial for soldiers who barely scratched the surface of violating the UCMJ. So yeah change career paths altogether.
At least someone feels the same way as me, as soon as I finish my time as a paralegal. I'm re enlisting as a K9 handler or something. Soldiers just get punished for stupid shit, I dont wanna be part of the problem. I dont have control over it, but I can simply just stop being a paralegal all together when I finish my time in this MOS
@@invincibleTiger9954 yesh sadly it was that way back when I was still in from 04-08. Now don't get me wrong there were legit ones as well but the system is inherently flawed when to get a fair trial you face greater punishment.
I have bee to a few article 15's as a witness. Most went like number 1. A few like number two. I always told my guys, "Just plead guilty. say you learned your lesson, apologize and wait to see what happens." Worked most of the time.
Unfortunately for a friend of mine, he got an Article 15 for the destruction of government property. He punched a wall and broke his hand instead of punching the officer who was screwing his wife while we were away training in Grafenwoehr Germany. Nothing happened to the Officer, but he was moved to another base. We actually had a Captain who was exactly like him, he was pissed off because he was passed over for promotion three times and took it out on us. We had 6 Article 15s in one month for minor infractions, the place was a joke!!!
Most people at my unit were getting article 15 for dipping out of PT 10min early. The people that pushed article 15 on to the joes only had a month or 2 left. Think we had 10 people who got extra duty and lost rank right before getting out. On top of that they were Med boarding out so wtf they doing at PT anyways. Big Red 1 slapping people with the big green weenie on the way out
This happened often in 10th Mtn. I personally saw a guy get artied for disobeying a direct order. The private had broken 5 vertebrae and the orders were to pick up a 2,000 lb machine. Fckn criminal leadership 🇺🇸 Thats why when someone puffs their chest out about rank now as a civilian I put my finger right in middle of their chest 👉🏻. Your rank don’t mean sh*t anymore sucka!
When I was in the Marines (CH53 crew chief) I went to the beach and got sun burned AF! So sun burned it felt like I had the flu, puking, diarrhea, cold shivers, et al. The week after was an absolute living hell. But, I didn’t miss a second of duty. Even when I had to wear the aircrew gear during flight ops whenever we landed and I took my vest off my shirt was drenched with fluid from all the blisters on my back, chest, shoulders, etc. I remember peeling off a 14 x 8 inch piece of skin, putting two holes in it, then sitting on the jump seat and saying to the pilot “are we getting close , Clarise”, when the pilot looked at me with the WTF look on his face I did the slurping action. Lmao He didn’t laugh, just looked disgusted. Hahaha! The good ol days.
I was still married but legally separated for over 2 years, living in separate state's, when I met my (now) 2nd wife. 12 year's, Clean record, 5 deployment's, Solid NCOER's. Field-grade article 15 for adultery. 45 and 45 busted down from E-5(p), then got RCP'ed. Battalion CO was a female.
Oh I've seen the shaving waiver getting torn up (It's a recommendation from the mil doc, not an order until signed by the CC was the line of bull) Also got to witness an Article 15 for chambering a round at a clearing barrel. No discharge, caught error and cleared properly. Battle turned him in after.
That was my Company Commander in Germany. Fortunately, the 1st Sergeant wouldn't put up with those shenanigans. And our Mustanger Battalion CO would have laughed him out of his office.
I almost got article 15'd once because I agreed to buy lunch for the new 2LT working with us (he said he forgot his wallet), then asked him to pay me back the week after. He was friends with the Captain who worked in his office and she took it straight to my Commander.
Just a reminder to everyone that if you ever get notified of these proceedings for any reason, DO NOT talk to your command about it before speaking to JAG/TDS.
Yup. Early at my Karserne in Germany someone, cant remember who, told me same. _”Don’t lie. Don’t refuse to answer questions. But as soon as any hint of a crime or UCMJ violation comes up, respectfully request to consult JAG,”_ he told me.
Not related to an article 15, but I was doing my AT and every day we had PT, I mentioned my back was hurting. Told to run anyways. This went on for a week before one day I had my NCO talk to me about having issues with coming to him about our problems (personally, didn’t respect him, but I listened anyways). Went on to talk about PT and doing it to standard and such. Was told to run instead of walking after knowing my back hurts. I ran. My back seized up. Sent to the hospital. Edit: What happened after this was said NCO getting the Battalion SGM have a talk with him and CO with my LT. Mind you, I had other NCOs know I mentioned my back hurting while doing PT and other duties. I even had one tell me that I was basically being lazy on PT and was told to never show up again, go into IRR, or get a profile. My unit was full of this crap.
This hit home for me. Recently caught an Article 15 for going AWOL while my wife was inna hospital and I got demoted to PFC, while in the same week two females got an DUI and got promoted. Shit crazy how the Army works.
You obviously didn't have something on the 1st Sgt or Plt Commander, or possibly the company co. The females probably did. Or you weren't "F-ing" them.
@@supreme5998 that’s true I’m theory but not in practice, I had a sgt get a dui and they “forgot” to proceed with his papers till ets’d 4 years later at the end of his contract
And a pregnant female being company commander on permanent leave with all the goodies because she slept with her superior and he doesn't want his wife to know about his infidelity.
This is painfully accurate. I SHARPED a soldier and they continued to make me pull cq in the place where it happened. He was already getting kicked out so there was nothing they could do.
This is too accurate for write ups at certain jobs. Never served, but I was the hardest worker, and I got bitched at, and pretty much told I was useless. The lazy employee, if they ever got written up, was just kinda nicely spoken to. And they always got credit for the hard work
At that point become a shitbag, don’t work hard, and do the bare minimum of your job. Watch it all go up in flames. It is satisfying watching them lose their shit as they can’t figure out why suddenly nothing works.
I was offered an art. 15 once. It was the word of a drunken private against me, an E-6. Knowing he had shit for evidence, I refused the article 15 and demanded a court martial. The BN CDR got plunked because he wanted a staff sergeant soooo bad to make an example of. He left the battalion to become the 8th ID inspector general and the new BN CDR threw it all in the garbage and told me to soldier on!
Real story Sir - “Lcpl, I’ll be honest.... Sergeant Gosink is a complete douchebag.... I think he’s just targeting you, because your on LOD” Me - “yes sir, I agree” Sir - “alright this page 11 is trashed, you don’t have to listen to Sergeant Gosink, report to Staff Sergeant Cross.” Inner me - (thanks for hooking me up with the admin Ssgt. Life is smoooooothe sailing from here boys)
Mur der i was one of the lucky ones. I got fucked up in 29 palms basically because of this idiot sgt. And the sir realized it was what it was. 2 years of LOD = 2 years of pissed off higher ups, because my skates were super sharp. God Bless all Devil Dogs!
LOL My 1stSgt at Courthouse Bay (1371, rah) was legit getting pissed off at me during my first counseling with her prior to getting a company NJP because I WASN'T trying to grovel at her feet and that I was being a grown ass man and accepting the fact that I fucked up. "You're just STANDING there like you're just gonna ACCEPT your PUNISHMENT!!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" I'm just standing there thinking like...the FUCK you want me to do, 1stSgt? Cry like a little bitch and beg you to not be mean to me? I guess she was used to the younger group of junior Marines she had to deal with, but my ass was like 27 at the time, married, had a kid. I know how to handle my mistakes.
Heath Dean BAHAHAHAHAHA that is hilarious! The worst I ever went off on someone was a Lt. Col ginger out in 29 palms. So I got messed up on range 400A. Some boot as engineers placed charges incorrectly and a little to close, I got hurt and continued running the course and had a major heat stroke. Long story short, my nerves got fried. So I’m walking like the fucking ginger bread man from shrek, I kept requesting a cat scan, well this Lt. Col does a little joint test on me and says “marine, you are fine. There is no need for that”. Now remember my nerves are fried so I can barely walk. I screamed “Fuck that shit! I want a JAG officer right now and everyone in this room I want the damn names of and I’m filing hazing charges!” And I continued going off, the next day I was driven out of base for some cat scans and they found 6 hematoma’s on my spine.... sometimes you gotta lay into a mofo. Ooooh Rahhh
@@thejonohshow5914 Jesus, I WISH I had had the stones back then to go off on this woman. I was brand new to the Corps, about 5-6 months in. PFC, 27, married, kid. I had to keep my mouth shut and just suck it up or else I probably wouldn't have gotten the lenient punishment I DID end up with. 14/14, $400/mo forfeiture (SUSPENDED, thank fuck). My company CO was a Maj, so if he had WANTED to, he could've gone field grade on my ass and taken my skeeter wings, but he felt billet over rank was appropriate and gave me a pretty light punishment. If 1stSgt had her way, I can damn near guarantee I'd have gotten 30/30 and loss of rank. Joke's on her, though, I still made Sgt before I got out. My command when I hit the fleet was like, "bruh, that's the dumbest fucking reason I've ever heard someone getting NJPed for." Glad they felt that way, cuz they could've made my life a living hell for being a shitbag getting an NJP in the damn schoolhouse.
I know a buddy who after a FTX no sleep 12 mile ruck went home drank beer, and showed another soldier from another unit his handgun. While drunk he loads it saying “this is how to load my weapon” he then says “this is how to unload” charges the weapon, drops the mag and then says “then you dry fire” pulls the trigger and the round ricochets off the bed frame and goes straight through the other soldiers tib and fib. Immediately calling 911 and while on the phone with the operator he says “it’s ok I applied a tourniquet “ when the ambulance shows up the tourniquet was so loose he was still bleeding out. His punishment? No reduction no extra duty, instead he had to teach all weapon safety briefs for the entire year as well as any class involving the proper application of a tourniquet
The saddest thing is not that this is true, (even though it's dead true), it's that so many bad officers who act like this get promoted. I think for the most part that the military has good leaders, but it amazes me how how often good Soldiers get a bad deal while bad Soldiers get rewarded
"Private, you don't have enough rank to tell the truth!" actual quote from one of my article 15 proceedings!

And then he walked out, never to be seen again. Like a fucking hero.
I had a captain tell me my rank (sergeant) wasn’t legit unless I have an article 15 in my record somewhere. I did an “ummmm actually...” he smiled and then left me alone.
Super Kami Guru sounds like a hell of a man! I love leaders that are still bro’s even at a higher level
Got 1 at basic
True
My grandfather was a first Sergeant and he got phone calls from the sheriff's office most weekends.
"Hey, first Sergeant. It's Deputy Dewey. We have Airman Snuffy in lockup right now."
"Ok. I'll pick him up Monday."
The deputy told me that the Shirt told him he had been drinking and could not pick me up. He sent my MSgt with 3-4 alcohol incidents to get me, instead. The deputies thought the whole episode was funny.
Ah, good 'ol Airman Snuffy. I love his shenanigans
At Langley AFB I heard a story of an A1C who got arrested for DUI in Myrtle Beach, the shirt had to drive there to get him, if traffic is good the drive takes about 6 hours each way. That kid definitely lost a stripe.
"I wonder why we don't have more people wanting to get in."
Sadly...this is so incredibly accurate. It is so hard to decide whether to laugh or cry.
To be honest, I got angry with this.
Marine who failed the run: NJP for buying water at the store during work hours because the water fountains are sketchy
Marine with a perfect run time: let off with a warning for violating curfew in Japan, getting drunk during a dry spell, causing thousands of dollars of property damage in drunken rage, picked up by NCIS that same night. Just had to pay the damages
Seen it
Well maybe that marine should learn to run faster so he doesn’t get NJPs for being such a 💩 💼.
Run faster
so you're telling me i need to get real good at running
This, this right here. Just had a guy come from AIT saying they were threatening Article 15s for sunburns, but then wouldn't allow them to have any over the counter medicine which included sunscreen. Smh.
If it makes sense then it's not what the military wants
I'm living proof they do that shit, and did it in 2007. That was my first article.
If you get out of the army without getting at least 1 article 15 at some point there's 1 of 3 reasons.
1. You didn't stay in long enough
2. Your a super soldier PT stud that gives sergeant major a hard on
3. You didn't live life hard enough
Greatest first sergeant I ever had told me when I was a pfc "you'd be hard pressed to find a 'good' nco who doesn't have at least 1 article 15 in their career."
Essayons!
A reclassing sst when i was at ait said that an article was almost a requirement to become an nco lol
Or you are in a unit with real discipline, and like there over being sent to the fleet. Private 40’s hands is not my ideal back up, or private got himself a antibiotic resistant std. having my good cookie was priceless.
Oh brings back so many memories😬! You just can't win when they have it in for you!
Just a curious question since I think you served. How do you get through that if they have it in for you and there’s no getting past that?
@@elsalvaje6209 lol you curse them out and take your beating. Might as well go down swinging. I'm speaking from experience.
@@elsalvaje6209 Read. I learned early on you can request a court martial for an article 15 hearing. That is dangerous, because if you are wrong the consequences are worse, but if the evidence is garbage they can't win a court martial.

Yea dude after my second one i gave up and just asked for court martials. They never bothered me again.

Pvt Barias looks like he just came in from “dental”
Aka mcdonalds breakfast to get over that hangover
Why is this so damn true?😪
As a lifer, I can honestly say, that I have seen my fair share of these type procedures.
The first story, you will not believe, mainly because of the soldiers name. I was a SQD LDR, had an E4 who's last name was Dumass, true facts. He was a generally good soldier but had an issue with getting up in the morning. Several times this soldier was late for PT and the 0900 formation. As we all know, you just don't be late for PT. Anyway, he ended up missing the DIV run so the CO demanded action. So I laid out a plan, if he missed formation again, I was referring him to the PLT SGT. If he missed a 2nd formation, he would be recommended to the 1SG/CO. Paperwork was in place, it was up to him. Within 3 months, he had had his first company grade ART 15. Within 6 months he was chaptered.
Last story. My unit went to JRTC in Jan for a training rotation. I volunteered my SQD to work the night shift which ran from 1600-0800. Our training cycle went for 17 days and my SQD performed above expectations. When we got back to Garrison I put all of my soldiers in for AAM's for various actions. Within a couple days, all recommendations for awards were sent back. The reason, clerical errors that needed corrected. So I went to the S-1, sat down with the clerk, SPC (I don't remember her name) and together we fixed all the recommendations. I promptly resubmitted them and within a week, they were sent back with a note on the packet the stated; "I don't give awards for soldiers who just do their job". This pissed me off, but as an E5, not much I could do. Placed all hard copies in a file folder and that was it. Fast forward 3 months and I get called out for an award. I was recommended for an award and they approved it, get this, for outstanding leadership during the same training cycle that they denied my recommendations for. Needless to say, I was pissed. The 1SG, read the award, presented it and completed the other 3 soldiers awards. When he was done, everyone clapped, I requested to speak to the unit. I explained that I had submitted them for awards and they were denied because in our unit, soldiers don't get awards for just doing their jobs. I called the unit to attention, informed the 1SG that refused to accept the award and requested that he remove it from my 201. What I didn't know was the BN CO and CSM were standing to the side and witnessed my actions. This led to me and my entire chain of command being called to the BN HQ and a 15-6 investigation. In the end, all my soldiers received their awards, 2 had ETS'd and 2 had PCS'd. My 1SG was asked to retire or face a bunch of charges for gross negligence. I was verbally reprimanded for calling out the chain of command at the formation and not using the open door policy.
Goddamn
Yep, sounds about right.
Good for you that you stood your ground and had your troops' back.
"I decline the NJP and request trial by court-martial."
"On second thought, Specialist, you're fine to go. Common mistake, our bad."
@@fabledhistorian7590 We joke but several times I've fully went with "aight, I want a trial by court martial"
@@phantomdude9901 Lmao! How did it go?
I have done that. Not at a recall formation so platoon sgt said I was outside pass limits i was 100 miles away. They dropped it.
@@fabledhistorian7590 I obeyed an unlawful order by an NCO (squad leader) to operate a personally owned vehicle in violation of base regulations. After being given extra duty and restriction for 4 weeks without NJP, the acting 1st Sgt then filed NJP and CO elevated it to field grade. I demanded a summary court martial as I had already been punished informally. The JAG refused to file charges and I got an early out. General Discharge with Honorable Conditions and no loss of rank, awards or commendations.
As a former soldier I regret how hard I worked to avoid ever getting an Article 15. I realize now getting an Article 15 would've been way better than the literal abuse I put up with instead.
I’ve seen this... On the wrong end I am not ashamed to say!
I swear during my article 15 hearing I had this young, milk on his breath captain try to tell me what a shit soldier I was. Because I didn't let my Platoon Sergeant talk to me crazy. Only thing I did was stand up and politely asked him who the F@ck was he talking to like that. He felt threatened and went and cried to our Sergeant Major. Then asked me why did I do it. I told the Captain that I volunteered just like he did. I didn't volunteer to be abused and disrespected. I'm still shocked I did 20 years.
Crazy seeing one of my drill sargents pop up on my UA-cam feed!
Which one?
So freaking accurate. I remember my NCO getting DUI and his squad(myself included) was smoked for it then got counseling statements on why we don't let our NCO drink and then get behind the wheel.

Yup this is how the Army is now a days nothing but cliques and circle jerks, I've seen a guy get his domestic assualt case swept under the rug because he know nothing but book work and running fast. But a actual leader gets art 15 and chaptered by getting a DUI that later got dropped in court due to him being below the legal limit.
You're telling me, I was forced to write an article 15 for a guy who's spouse assaulted him first, and all he did was push her away while she hit him multiple times. He was able to get away, we even havd evidence it happened and yet he is the one getting punished and discharged. Luckily his command is trying to get an honorabld for him, but it's still so unmeccessary to separate him when his wife cant keep her hands to herself
while I've seen this go down for sunburn before, even Captain Jack Sparrow knows that "people aren't cargo, mate". you're not soldiers aren't government property, soldiers are government contractors. a fact that a LOT of 1SGs/CPTs and above seem to forget....which is how things like this video come to be.
Last time I was this early they were doing MP skits
I miss those
LOL, the Army was so GD toxic. We're all out here healing from continuous emotional/mental trauma via comedy.
The ironic and sad thing about this, is that I know of soldiers who have had this done to them. I even know of 2 soldiers with shaving profiles, who have had it torn up in front of them. When your E5 and below, Rank makes right in the Army.
I got mine torn up
I got copies made.
If you have a shaving profile, it's in your medical record. If you get written up for that, I'd ask to speak to JAG first. JAG gets a copy from your medical record and would ask the CO if he really wants to go forward with this. Of course, you're a marked man at that point.
@@tidefanyankee2428 does marked man mean your considered the black sheep in any unit your with?
@@austinferrell4921 Generally speaking, if you oppose the command they will have it in for you. That's not how it's supposed to work, but we're talking about human beings here. Putting on a uniform doesn't change that. If you challenge them (the command) they will nit pick you to death. They will judge pretty much everything you do and look at it in a negative light pretty much exclusively.
I saw a guy in my company who opted for a courts martial rather than "office hours" (USMC) and he won. Well, that went over like a screen door on a submarine. Thankfully, the battalion had a regulation that required him to move to a different company or he could opt for a different battalion on base. He opted for a different battalion.. The powers that be, be they Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines don't like to lose and when they do, they'll still extract their pound of flesh in some other way. Oh, and I'm sure the company commander in that guys new command got a phone call from his old command....so yes, it can mark you for the rest of your career. But I will say this, there ARE officers who give a guy a chance to start fresh....but it's not totally, but somewhat rare.
OMG. Nailed it. That is daily life in the Army. The guy doing the real work gets fried. The guys that go above and beyond are always treated like this. over 23 years, seen it and lived it.
What if Myrtle framed you....gives him the shaving profile..LMFAO!
That new guy rocks
As I was getting out of the army, I had 6 appointments in one week and I was put on gate guard so I had to cancel them all. I missed cancelling one of them and my E6 wrote me up for an article. The CO took one look at it and told me to get out of his office.
I was a cadet that went to CIET at FT Knox in 2016. And I swear the guy acting as a Captain in this skit was my drill SGT.
Heres my article 15 story. Was stationed at ft.benning to help train basic trainees. Specifically for mounted react to contact training. I was a driver of hmv and other vehicles and instructed basic trainees about the vehicles. The company I was in often provides soldiers for military honor funeral detail. Well a month straight we had a range every day of the work week. We were usually pretty buisy but atleast 1 work day wouldnt have a range. NOt this month. Meaning every day of the work week we were out on the range training basic trainees for a month straight. And on the weekends some of us would be selected for Military honor funeral detail.
I was always selected for this detail. Because i was one of the more trustworthy. And always had my dress uniform ready when inspected. I always kept it ready for inspection.
So for a month straight I was working every day. no days off from 6 am to 5 pm or longer if the range hadnt been completed before 5pm. And on the weekends i was part of military honor detail. Now during this month is when my drivers license needed to be renewed. But I was never able to make it to the dmv because i was always at work.
I think you see where this is going now. After the uptenth time of telling my nco that I need to have one day off a range to go to the dmv to get my license renewed. . The day my licenese expires came and went and I get stopped by a cop heading to work for pt. I accidentally had my brights on. Civilian Cop: Sir do you know your license is expired. Yes sir. I just havent had a chance to get to the dmv because of my duties. Stop making excuses son. Get it fixed. Heres your ticket.
I got an article 15 because i got that ticket. I got that ticket because my duties didnt allow me to make it to the dmv.
Exact words out of my company commander: You should have got it renewed last month.
lost of rank, 2 weeks of extra duty (which consisted of my normal duty then from 6pm to 12 am I was at battalion mowin lawns cleaning all that jaz.
2 months later i was repromoted to the rank i had before the article 15.
OH and I fought the ticket. Went to court explained the situation. And the judge dropped the ticket.
"This video was definitely photoshoped." ☠☠
Lucky. My commander didn't even look at me when he read me mine.
@The ReflexBoxer I mistakenly misunderstood that even as a 27 year old man I wasn’t able to have an unopened bottle of wine (a gift) in my tech school dorm room. I was Air Force though so... maybe did different
During my first enlistment, I earned 6 Article 15's (5 Company grade, 1 Field grade), all for Insubordination. I was young and dumb, and could not keep my mouth shut when stupid shit was being done or ordered. Once you got on the lifer's radar, they would call you on even the slightest thing. I was an enigma, as I was very good in the field (top TOW and Dragon gunner and gung ho when performing missions, weapon firing etc...), but when I got back into garrison, I was a real pain in the ass for command. Loved and hated. Still did over 2 years as an E-1 over 2, and received an Honorable discharge. They even allowed me to reenlist a decade later. Finished out with 6 years total, no more Article 15's, and rose in rank to hard stripe E-4 Corporal. Go figure!
Similar story as for 15's. General Honorable. Working on upgrade. 11bravo
6 years corporal?!????????!!!!!???? Must have a letter of reprimand in your personel file
@@remydaitch9815 I did not want any more rank than Corporal. Perfect for me. Just enough to get into the NCO club, but not too much responsibility.

Damn this hits home. The depiction of this is so deadly accurate.

You all laugh but as a former battalion commander I saw some of these come across my desk as an appeal and you just shake your head. Get the CSM involved and go talk to the company commander on what the hell is going on in C company.
Yeah but how often does the guy issueing back "justice" wind up getting promoted all the battalion commander
Funny you day that. I’m at C Co 369 at Fort Gordon and its terrible compared to a lot of other TRADOC companies
I was a 27D (Paralegal Specialist) Commanders like this were why I ETS'd. I hated writing Article 15''s and Courts Martial for soldiers who barely scratched the surface of violating the UCMJ. So yeah change career paths altogether.
At least someone feels the same way as me, as soon as I finish my time as a paralegal. I'm re enlisting as a K9 handler or something. Soldiers just get punished for stupid shit, I dont wanna be part of the problem. I dont have control over it, but I can simply just stop being a paralegal all together when I finish my time in this MOS
@@invincibleTiger9954 yesh sadly it was that way back when I was still in from 04-08. Now don't get me wrong there were legit ones as well but the system is inherently flawed when to get a fair trial you face greater punishment.
I have bee to a few article 15's as a witness. Most went like number 1. A few like number two.
I always told my guys, "Just plead guilty. say you learned your lesson, apologize and wait to see what happens." Worked most of the time.
Unfortunately for a friend of mine, he got an Article 15 for the destruction of government property. He punched a wall and broke his hand instead of punching the officer who was screwing his wife while we were away training in Grafenwoehr Germany. Nothing happened to the Officer, but he was moved to another base. We actually had a Captain who was exactly like him, he was pissed off because he was passed over for promotion three times and took it out on us. We had 6 Article 15s in one month for minor infractions, the place was a joke!!!
Most people at my unit were getting article 15 for dipping out of PT 10min early. The people that pushed article 15 on to the joes only had a month or 2 left. Think we had 10 people who got extra duty and lost rank right before getting out. On top of that they were Med boarding out so wtf they doing at PT anyways.

The week after was an absolute living hell. But, I didn’t miss a second of duty. Even when I had to wear the aircrew gear during flight ops whenever we landed and I took my vest off my shirt was drenched with fluid from all the blisters on my back, chest, shoulders, etc. I remember peeling off a 14 x 8 inch piece of skin, putting two holes in it, then sitting on the jump seat and saying to the pilot “are we getting close , Clarise”, when the pilot looked at me with the WTF look on his face I did the slurping action. Lmao He didn’t laugh, just looked disgusted. Hahaha! The good ol days.
Much love brothers! Its always good to see veterans who can make fun of themselves but also show how the military really is!
I was still married but legally separated for over 2 years, living in separate state's, when I met my (now) 2nd wife. 12 year's, Clean record, 5 deployment's, Solid NCOER's. Field-grade article 15 for adultery. 45 and 45 busted down from E-5(p), then got RCP'ed. Battalion CO was a female.

I almost got article 15'd once because I agreed to buy lunch for the new 2LT working with us (he said he forgot his wallet), then asked him to pay me back the week after. He was friends with the Captain who worked in his office and she took it straight to my Commander.
This is so great. You guys are the best .

Aw! Thank you!
Just a reminder to everyone that if you ever get notified of these proceedings for any reason, DO NOT talk to your command about it before speaking to JAG/TDS.
Yup.
Early at my Karserne in Germany someone, cant remember who, told me same.
_”Don’t lie. Don’t refuse to answer questions. But as soon as any hint of a crime or UCMJ violation comes up, respectfully request to consult JAG,”_ he told me.

Not related to an article 15, but I was doing my AT and every day we had PT, I mentioned my back was hurting. Told to run anyways. This went on for a week before one day I had my NCO talk to me about having issues with coming to him about our problems (personally, didn’t respect him, but I listened anyways). Went on to talk about PT and doing it to standard and such. Was told to run instead of walking after knowing my back hurts.
I ran.
My back seized up.
Sent to the hospital.
Edit: What happened after this was said NCO getting the Battalion SGM have a talk with him and CO with my LT. Mind you, I had other NCOs know I mentioned my back hurting while doing PT and other duties. I even had one tell me that I was basically being lazy on PT and was told to never show up again, go into IRR, or get a profile.

Wow, the bloopers are hilarious for sure!!
pure fire, best ep yet
This is painfully accurate.
I SHARPED a soldier and they continued to make me pull cq in the place where it happened. He was already getting kicked out so there was nothing they could do.
This is too accurate for write ups at certain jobs. Never served, but I was the hardest worker, and I got bitched at, and pretty much told I was useless. The lazy employee, if they ever got written up, was just kinda nicely spoken to. And they always got credit for the hard work
At that point become a shitbag, don’t work hard, and do the bare minimum of your job. Watch it all go up in flames. It is satisfying watching them lose their shit as they can’t figure out why suddenly nothing works.
That's why you only ever hand them a COPY of a profile! This was a great skit. And very accurate for an infantry unit.
I was offered an art. 15 once. It was the word of a drunken private against me, an E-6.
Knowing he had shit for evidence, I refused the article 15 and demanded a court martial.
The BN CDR got plunked because he wanted a staff sergeant soooo bad to make an example of. He left the battalion to become the 8th ID inspector general and the new BN CDR threw it all in the garbage and told me to soldier on!

I know how to handle my mistakes.
Heath Dean BAHAHAHAHAHA that is hilarious! The worst I ever went off on someone was a Lt. Col ginger out in 29 palms. So I got messed up on range 400A.

So I’m walking like the fucking ginger bread man from shrek, I kept requesting a cat scan, well this Lt. Col does a little joint test on me and says “marine, you are fine. There is no need for that”. Now remember my nerves are fried so I can barely walk. I screamed “Fuck that shit! I want a JAG officer right now and everyone in this room I want the damn names of and I’m filing hazing charges!” And I continued going off, the next day I was driven out of base for some cat scans and they found 6 hematoma’s on my spine.... sometimes you gotta lay into a mofo.

My company CO was a Maj, so if he had WANTED to, he could've gone field grade on my ass and taken my skeeter wings, but he felt billet over rank was appropriate and gave me a pretty light punishment. If 1stSgt had her way, I can damn near guarantee I'd have gotten 30/30 and loss of rank. Joke's on her, though, I still made Sgt before I got out.

Aside from some exaggerations, this was pretty accurate... No joke.
Ahhhhhh memories...I got one for having mouthwash in AIT. Mouthwash with the Colonel signature on bottle because he is one who issued it to me.
I know a buddy who after a FTX no sleep 12 mile ruck went home drank beer, and showed another soldier from another unit his handgun. While drunk he loads it saying “this is how to load my weapon” he then says “this is how to unload” charges the weapon, drops the mag and then says “then you dry fire” pulls the trigger and the round ricochets off the bed frame and goes straight through the other soldiers tib and fib. Immediately calling 911 and while on the phone with the operator he says “it’s ok I applied a tourniquet “ when the ambulance shows up the tourniquet was so loose he was still bleeding out. His punishment? No reduction no extra duty, instead he had to teach all weapon safety briefs for the entire year as well as any class involving the proper application of a tourniquet
Fucking Outstanding!!!
Where's the lie tho.😂😂
Amazing

Probably my favorite skit
Accurate
DREW!! I MISS YOUR VLOGS🥺😭, can you bring those back?
The saddest thing is not that this is true, (even though it's dead true), it's that so many bad officers who act like this get promoted. I think for the most part that the military has good leaders, but it amazes me how how often good Soldiers get a bad deal while bad Soldiers get rewarded
Spot! On!
