  • I WONDER IF THIS IS HOW IT'S ACTUALLY DONE 🤔🤣
    TEXAS!
    HOUSTON - JULY 22nd
    SAN ANTONIO - JULY 29th
    I am thrilled to announce that this July, I will be taking the stage in Texas for the very first time to do some stand-up comedy alongside two incredibly hilarious stand-up comedians and veterans, Raul Sanchez Comedy and Al Gonzales !
    I said this was something veterans benefit first and i'm holding my word to that. I'm currently in talks with the MWR in Fort Hood and Dallas, but as of right now nothing has been signed.
    I hope you all come out for a good night of comedy and SEE YOU THIS JULY!
    TICKETS AVAILABLE TODAY! www.friendlyfi...

      ONE reason I'm a life time member of the "Mafia". If I hadn't gotten out how I did, I wouldn't have been promoted anytime...I refused to be part of that Buddy Mentality or get my nose brown. I just tried to stay squared away and do my job...the Right without cutting corners. So many I saw who disappeared the whole day and never got reprimanded when Squad leaders had no idea where they were all day.
      Had an e-5 and 4s lose rank for caught drinking in Bosnia on camp...lost rank but didn't take nearly no time for them back once back in the states

      @@slimyjimmy1589 the worst part for me is, I handled all the paperwork for my Captain because I came out of the RA with a TS clearance, and could type. I had a spotless record, but was never even considered for promotion because that would have meant my Capt would have had to find a new paper pusher, and he didn't want that to happen.

    lol !!! This reminded me of a strange, but true story.
    Multiple promotions to one person on the same day can happen.
    Usually due to long standing errors with a soldier that takes time to clear up.
    One soldier even reenlisted to ensure his record was corrected before their ETS.
    They got promoted 3 times in one ceremony, with PCS orders to a very nice post, and several years worth of back pay.
    Justice may be slow, but it is very sweet when it arrives.
    Never give up.

      Wrongly accused.
      Non-rec - delayed promotions he would have otherwise received.
      Reenlisted anyways.
      Slow/low priority to investigate.
      Finally found innocent.
      So, "over the passage of time", the false accusation and its eventual clearing up, led to several back dated promotions, with compensation and PCS orders.

      One of many reasons I retired from the Navy in 2019. I had to work for assholes who treated the hard chargers like shit and would do nothing to lazy troublemakers. The only time the troublemakers had anything done to them was if they popped positive for drugs. If they got an ARI, it was just a slap on the wrist and maybe 21 days restriction with a suspended bust.

But my big highlighter was having my leave canceled 3 hours before my flight was supposed to leave for holiday block then told I had to come in that weekend, was a Friday, for work to help another company with rear D. Everyone was out on block leave and this was right in the middle of my ETS process and couldn’t do that as I had to learn how the new company did things that wasn’t even my MOS. Suffice to say I was pissed. Got half the leave I was originally promised too and was down a couple thousand bucks. Couldn’t get a refund

      Thats really unfortunate. For future reference, and for other ones to read. Generallly you can get a refund if you call in and let them know that your military and was given short notice that you can't fly. Now not all airlines will give you a refund without extra work though. You might need to submit papers of some kind, either orders, or a commanding memo. If the agent you talk to doesn't care, then you might have to get a supevisor to send in a letter on your behalf.
      I know my room mate got his refund for a similar case, because our commander wrote a short letter stating something along the lines of "Due to unscheduled military duties, the soldier can not take the flight and therefore requires a refund or credit of flight". Now my room mate was a liked by our commander, and the flight was a pretty cheap flight to, only a couple hundred. They said no at first, but the agent did tell us that if we had a supervisor send in a letter or memo to prove validity, they could refund.

    True story from my time in the 80s Army.
    From day one I was going to do my 4 and out. I worked hard, did what was asked, and was squared away, but had an entire other life off base in Germany. It was a strange, but wonderful dual existence.
    They were shocked, floored, when I turned down going to BNOC and told them that I had no desire for promotion. I informed them that I WAS getting out in like 16-months, and didn’t want to take a stripe and BNOC slot from a lifer.
    They put the screws to me, even making me do the promotion board. I prepared, somewhat, and did it. Just enough to not embarrass myself or disrespect the board.
    They promoted me anyways. WTF! They gave me the stripe over better soldiers that wanted it-the married ones needing it-and dedicated lifers.
