I had CQ on a Sunday night in Germany back in the 80's and got a call from some drunk soldiers in town who needed a ride back to the unit. I grabbed our VW van and headed out to pick them up. When I got to the bar they were still inside so I had to go in and "escort" them outside. Since I was wearing BDU's, the Germans felt compelled to yell out catcalls. One German kept yelling out 1776 and laughing hysterically. He quickly shut up when I yelled 1918 and 1945, America 2 - Germany 0.
This is why you just stay drunk at all times when off duty. They can't call you in. Also, I was camping 80 miles off post and there was no signal and my phone battery died and I also dropped it off of a 10 story building.
I was in the 82nd and I had an uncle who was also 82nd back in the 80s/90s. From all the stories we swapped I came to one simple conclusion: Cell phones ruined the army.
At my first duty assignment, I rode escort to pick up a guy who was drunk and tried to pull CQ at a strip club in Colorado Springs on a Tuesday morning. The guy really did have more issues than CIF.
Reminds me of dad's stand-by/on-call weekend rotation in the Air Force. (Late 80s-early 90s.) My family couldn't do jack shit without worrying about a pain-in-the-ass beeper going off. I told him to accidentally-intentionally rip out the batteries, or "forget" to bring it with him.
We used to keep a half empty beer bottle in the fridge in the barracks. When there was an unusually timed knock at the door we would always answer it with the beer in our hands. If someone didn't show up for some duty they always came to us in the barracks of course.
A pro move I also did. I always put on a show of really wanting to help and shouting “Hoo-Ah!” as I staggered around half naked trying to get my uniform on.
I was on a “3 day” this last weekend. Got called up twice just to do some certs that were due on that last day of it. It was more like 2 half days and 1 day off
When I was stationed with the 513th, I was the only MP. They didn't know what to do with me. That means I got staff duty a lot until they found me a permanent job. One time, I had 24 hour CQ at Brigade Headquarters. This was back when we weren't allowed to read, we couldn't have our phone, we couldn't have a TV or tablet, nothing. You had to sit there and do nothing and "pay attention" for 24 straight hours. After I got off shift, I was supposed to have 12-24 hours off. They called me about 8 hours later and said they needed someone else for CQ because the soldier who was supposed to do it was sick or injured or something (I don't really remember). I "volunteered" (we all know I got volun-told) to take his spot. Then the same thing happened the next day, so I had to do it a third time. I have never been as mentally exhausted.
@@tedhodge4830 I didn't learn to be a shitbag until I was a E4. I tried to be PVT Hi-speed until I learned it didn't get me anywhere, promotion points were maxed out, and I was doing extra work for nothing.
Its why you don't answer your phone and always have a beer cracked open off work. You can't get called back in for most things if they think you've been drinking. Its worked everytime for me
Oh man haha, that part about his Sargent getting a DUI is so accurate. I've got some friends and cousins in the army, and they were getting DUI's every few years. And if not getting DUI's they were definitely alcoholics.
Was expecting to see boots on his feet.
Same. Guy was not ready. Article 15 his a55.
Or at least socks.
Gotta keep boots and socks dry all the time
I love the pause the look around and who gets a dui in broad daylight?!?! 😂
It’s federal which means people are coming from the whole US. Different time zones. Who doesn’t know that
@@carlossalazar1615 What does that have to do with the fact that it’s broad daylight where the unit is located in this skit?😂

America 2????? Urrmmmm I think you mean Allies 2... wasn't just you lot that actually fought in two world wars mate
@@cringegamer2075
I didn't fight in either war, mate.

THIS ^ .... of course this is also why you might have an alcohol problem that doesn't stop until years after you get out of the military.
Unfortunately I couldn't do that because I hate alcohol. Although that was the unwritten rule in my unit... all the way up to the Battalion XO.
That's why I always popped a cold one as soon as I hit my room. Someone comes looking for me, "sorry, drinking".
Nah sorry SGT I had a beer and we both know if I’ve had one it’s against UCMJ to drive so I’m stuck here for the next 4 days my bad

Sounds like something my unit would have done in Carson.
As an 82nd inf dude... This sounds like an 82nd move.
stationed in ft carson now lol. shit has not changed.
That's allot of issues
It’s crazy because before 9/11, Carson was a retirement post. I think things started going bad after that.

"Why is recruiting down?"
Wait. No boots means you are NOT ready lol
I’ll tell you what his issues are, all 350 lbs of the dependa he has at home.

He was out of uniform in the pool.

I just did a 24 hour weekend CQ duty just when I got off Platoon Sargeant calls me in to help escort vehicles to the dock to get shipped out
Who get's a DUI in broad daylight on a Tuesday? Come to Bermuda and you can find out.

Shoulda worked on your sham game. Your fault.

They say that in the Army, the weekends are mighty fine
LT wants a ladel from the back of connex nine
SSG highspeed 😅 back to work 🎉
SGT Heispeed now after that AR15 for breaking AR670-1.
I am a sgt in the guard we have to deal with this even when we are not on drill. At least active duty gets paid to do it lol
It's 5 o'clock somewhere
It’s 1700 somewhere. Got you fam
😂 it’s funny when actually on call, as well as when it’s just goobers wearing their uniforms for the attention
I'm not even laughing because this is to true.
I feel like his boots are busy swimming in the pool near by thats why he doesn't have them on.
Out of sight, out of mind.
( for the most part )
...Really need to get an off duty phone
Just like what everybody from high school always said. . .
Heispeed and Lowedrag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Main reason I never wanted to get promoted. I don’t wanna babysit grown adults
HEy when are you'll gonna do some more drill sgt videos?
i was hoping he would have boots on.
😄
Ah the good ole 1Sgt days 😂
It's funny cuz it's true.

Lmao the ending got me
My boys while I was in were the masters of illusion while driving. Hell I’d say that drove straighter while drunk
Dedication 😂
0:57 - "Oh hey! It's a nice day!"
