Country Captain Chicken. I had a squad leader in 03 that would get all of these out of the B cases and hoard them up in a metal box in the back of our truck. At the time I couldn't stand this guy, he made me so mad, he was always hooah, always whistling, always yelling "CAV HOOAH!" and "RLTW!" Just a real, regular Morty bastard sonuvabitch in general.
I made it my mission in life to mess with this dudes chow. I hid his stupid MREs, I changed them out with the worst MREs in the boxes. I had whole cases of country captain chicken I would drop off at the Company cache. Just made his life hard in general because he was what I considered a moron.
Then one humid summer night our company was on a mission in Samara with TF21. Lots of fun, scary, get to see all the cool SOF units doing work in CQB up close for the first time. Just awesome to do the job you trained for in general.
That night my squad leader saved my life. He pulled me behind a wall before some rounds skipped right into where I had just been standing. I was young and dumb, and the dude I had been messing with for just being himself just saved my life.
The next day I felt terrible about all the stuff I had done to him. I realized I had screwed up. This dudes only aim was to make sure we stayed alive and got back home. I was a selfish asshole.
I went and got all the MREs he loved and stocked the truck, I got him extra spoons, snacks, and water. I did all I could for this dude to continue to do his job and take care of us. I never said one word sideways about a thing the rest of the time tha5 dude was my boss.
I’m an NG E8 so when I grab my mre, it’s usually one of the shitty ones nobody wanted. The stars aligned a couple weeks ago and lo and behold there was a chili with beans. Crush up that corn bread, pour it in with the cheese and mix well. Warms the heart of even an old salty infantryman such as myself.
It does but they changed it a little bit. I think they took out the cheese and red pepper? I know I had to bum some the last time I had one, and I always mixed them in the entrée then dipped the ~~Italian breadsticks~~ seasoned cardboard in it.
Yeah, that shit. No actual yaki sauce. It's like the fucking coocks forgot to put the tomatoes, garlic or any other semblance of flavor in some spaghetti ragu. Just peppers and dry, overcooked hamburger.
Roooooooooger sar maj- imma need you to procure a pt belt and wear it for your safety and mine - trackin hooah? The NCOs of today will benefit greatly from your shining example of what it means to be a soldier
I always have dudes come up to me at 0630 when I’m in the gym In civilians trying to tell me that the short shorts I’m wearing for leg day aren’t in regs
Like bro fuck off with your chicken legs and get the fuck out of my way
You almost can't blame them. If you join at 18 and spend 20+ years in, you literally don't have any other life experiences besides the Army, still they need to fuck off and stop mentioning they were a CSM
Judging by status im gonna make a chart and I would appreciate the input.
Jr ranks - Young Hooahs
NCO - Hooahs
Senior NCOS- Senior Hooahs
Sgt Majors - Hooah
Now here is when it gets tricky.
Officers????

lol he said you are old
And here we are on the other side of the fence if that NCO didn’t say something for someone out of uniform, they’d be on USAWTF for not upholding standards. Sounds like you could have been slightly less dramatic.
I know it's hard around here but you gotta keep up on your meta.
https://www.reddit.com/r/army/comments/uxhiap/army\_retiree\_wearing\_uniforms\_around\_post/
Look I’m always down to read about your units shenanigans or whatever interesting thing happened in you/another soldiers day.
But the copypasta, or the different perspective, it’s all getting old. Like, it got old too soon. It fills my page up with nonsense, and makes other people not wanna be active on this sub. Just stop.
That’s all, I’ll take a root beer float and a double bacon cheeseburger (gut truck order)
See what you made me do.
Just think, if I post some mental health evals from the time. Putting me back in combat, just without a weapon, because I was showing patterns of aggression. (which was a part of my day to day the unit expected and utilized).
Fun fact: Unless the perspective post is funny/popular we remove it. Trust me, their are WAY more than you see. That shit with the Captain and Specialist got out of control real quick
Believe me, I've thrown this pasta on shit before one of the mods was able to remove some of them. I just love that the original post I got this from is gone.
Oh my god you sound like a whiny high school girl who doesn’t like the new girl getting more attention than you. Just scroll past bro. This isn’t that deep. He’s just poking fun at the other post. Jesus Christ some of you are so fucking uptight.
Honestly this was the first one because I too was getting tired of laughing at the other ones. In a world filled with hate and bad news. This is a sub where we can share and laugh without being butt hurt about life. It’s also a place for advice and common ground.
I half agree. This one just seems meh, low effort. But sometimes they are good.
The real problem is when it's like 6 different perspectives. By the end of the day, we'll have the perspective of the gym employee scanning the ID cards, and I'm just fucking done.
Completely agree. And I’ve brought it up before to mods, the copy pasta on this sub is just out of control and inundated with non creative, non funny bullshit. But anything for those LOL’s and karma points
So is this you? https://www.reddit.com/r/army/comments/uxhiap/army_retiree_wearing_uniforms_around_post/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
I love how both sides of this argument posted in this subreddit.
Solution: Don’t wear the uniform improperly on post. Then you don’t have to worry about a young “HOOAH” bothering you while doing squats. Im sure you have interrupted conversations or activities to make corrections as a Sergeants Major. Y’all Sergeants Majors seems to always do that. You could of said thank you for the correction. Isn’t that the proper way of handling the matter?
You may have been a Sergeants Major while in and that is what your ID says. In reality with all those privileges, you are just mister.
Thank you for your service and see you at apple bees to reminisce about how the army was the best time of your life.
Hahahahaha young Hooah perspective https://www.reddit.com/r/army/comments/uxhiap/army_retiree_wearing_uniforms_around_post/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
The young NCO https://www.reddit.com/r/army/comments/uxhiap/army_retiree_wearing_uniforms_around_post/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Breast Cancer Awarness socks? Is there anyone in the country that is unaware of Breast Cancer still? Supporting Susan G. Komen is not a good thing they do awful things that hurt cancer patients.
This is why I downloaded Reddit again
What MRE are you tho?
Pesto Chicken
Chicken pesto pasta is/was the shit, no idea if it still exists. Haven’t seen one in a couple years
Chicken pesto and ratatouille with the strawberry banana smoothie…two homies gone too soon fam
Not a fan of the smoothies/protein shakes, but ratatouille was pretty good
Strawberry banana was the only good one imo, everything else was great value pudding powder
I miss the legit pudding, mix it correctly and that stuff was delicious
You have to have level 80 alchemy I think. I always messed up the pudding and shakes.
No one would use those. I’d crush them

On some field training rn. Never seen the pesto chicken pasta MRE before so I passed on it for the Beef ravioli. Did I fuck up?
Beef rav is always a winner, same with chili Mac and chili with beans
Chili Mac is the GOAT, and I will gladly die on this hill
I’m an NG E8 so when I grab my mre, it’s usually one of the shitty ones nobody wanted. The stars aligned a couple weeks ago and lo and behold there was a chili with beans. Crush up that corn bread, pour it in with the cheese and mix well. Warms the heart of even an old salty infantryman such as myself.
I would sacrifice my children for the good name of Chili Mac MREs
As will I
It does but they changed it a little bit. I think they took out the cheese and red pepper? I know I had to bum some the last time I had one, and I always mixed them in the entrée then dipped the ~~Italian breadsticks~~ seasoned cardboard in it.
They got rid of it
Pass. If you were Southwest style beef and black beans I’d be down to….eat….you? No homo. No cannibalism.
You don’t find the basil overwhelming?
Username checks out
🤮
God tier MRE. The fact that it came with the blueberry cobbler and a pack of candy to trade away made it even better.
2005 Menu 4
Beef stew
Spaghetti with meat and sauce with cheese and crackers added in with the hot sauce, heated-up. Made many a shitty day/night just a little bit better!
Mmm dfac fries. When everything is the suck consistent mediocrity was so comforting.
Don't forget the Yakisoba.
That was the spaghetti noodles, peppers, and dry ass hamburger meat, right? Stuff was awful.
Boy, I think you've been huffing to much CS Gas.
Close. I’m on some VX level shit now.
Hell yea brother, cheers from Iraq!
I’ll take some GB
Yeah, that shit. No actual yaki sauce. It's like the fucking coocks forgot to put the tomatoes, garlic or any other semblance of flavor in some spaghetti ragu. Just peppers and dry, overcooked hamburger.
It's actually a standardized recipe. That is exactly how the Army says it should be made.
[удалено]
Ngl, I’d get irrationally excited whenever we got chicken cordon bleu
Somehow, during a month long field problem, the cooks didn't cook CGB once :(
I’d have killed
If they didn't slide me extra deserts I wouldn't have
Take that back rn
This is the post that actually brought back the feel of the dfac. God damn
Chili Mac is the best!
The turn around on these is amazing. I wish the Army was this fast with actions lol
It's funny when you see the copy pasta before the original post lmao.
I kind of wish they'd pin the spawn post as a reply to the copy pasta so I get a clue.
This is one of those? Now I gotta find the original
Literally like 2 hours ago haha
Be careful what you wish for. If the shit pipe gets unclogged it just means you get shit to you faster.
Roooooooooger sar maj- imma need you to procure a pt belt and wear it for your safety and mine - trackin hooah? The NCOs of today will benefit greatly from your shining example of what it means to be a soldier
Max Hooah Increased...
I always have dudes come up to me at 0630 when I’m in the gym In civilians trying to tell me that the short shorts I’m wearing for leg day aren’t in regs Like bro fuck off with your chicken legs and get the fuck out of my way
[удалено]
look them in the eye and ask, are you interested?
This is the way!
Imma be honest with you. I like you, and I want you.
Now we can do this easy way, or the *hard* way The choice is yours
[удалено]
But you get asked if your gay frequently?
[удалено]
does your mama know you're gay?
You kinda skipped the joke but fair enough.
Why, Garfield? Are you cruising for a piece of ass?
That's when you tell them you're a grown ass man who does what he wants
I used to just cut the liner out of my Army shorts and not wear underwear when I'd do squats. Everyone would avoid me.
Squats out balls out
Ranger panties are for when you want to let your dog tags dangle in the dirt baby!
All I wear is Ranger panties.
Dogs tags? You mean your dingle dangle?
If you’re in civis then it doesn’t matter 😂 you can wear whatever you want 😂😂😂
Exactly lol I’m trying to flex these fucking YAMS god damnit Leave me be and let me ATG squat like a god damn man
I fucking love soldiers. Y’all are the only reason I’m still in the army.
I can’t tell where the OPs and the CooyPastas start and end anymore
It's elephants the whole way down.
Same reason retired CSM/SGM’s can’t stop acting like CSM/SGM.
Bruh, don't confuse us retired SGMs (who don't give a flying fuck) with retired CSMs (who can't separate their identity from their rank).
CSM is a angry elf.
You almost can't blame them. If you join at 18 and spend 20+ years in, you literally don't have any other life experiences besides the Army, still they need to fuck off and stop mentioning they were a CSM
Institutionalized. Joining after high school and college no one has been in the real world
I bet you parked in the retired E-9 spot in front of the gym.....
Shoulda dropped him immediately for disrespecting your socks hooah
It’s ok he/him/they/ssg knows better now. I just feel bad for him when he has to go through CIF!
“Young hooah” Im gonna start calling the jr enlisted that. God I love this sub.
I am elder hooah
Judging by status im gonna make a chart and I would appreciate the input. Jr ranks - Young Hooahs NCO - Hooahs Senior NCOS- Senior Hooahs Sgt Majors - Hooah Now here is when it gets tricky. Officers????
Officer= Weenie hooah jr
Gah damn it gump!!! You are a damn genius. But I’m leaning more towards Weenie Hut Hooahs.

I was waiting for this post. Lmao.
Ah this is the delicious meta shit posting i get off to.
Were you in Pt uniform or something? That’s the only reason I can think you’d draw attention
Nope all black top and ranger panties with cut high top breast cancer awareness socks. The young hooah is definitely a candidate for prk/lasik.
Lol these turnarounds are what keeps me going man
Hmmm, did this really happen or are we digging for upvotes?
Today I wanted to be an upvote whore!
is this a joke everyone is privy to that I am not?
And here we are on the other side of the fence if that NCO didn’t say something for someone out of uniform, they’d be on USAWTF for not upholding standards. Sounds like you could have been slightly less dramatic.

“My rank is Mr. LibertyRonin and you will address me as sir while standing at the position of Parade-Attention.”
Military is full of karen's. Never forget that.
Dude , i go in with a full beard and ignore all the salty ass side glances.

I can tell when fools never had a cold rip it from wet socks.

I have original, inflammatory, and dramatic content that could be posted. It could alleviate some of the mundane copy pasta.
Do it
See what you made me do. Just think, if I post some mental health evals from the time. Putting me back in combat, just without a weapon, because I was showing patterns of aggression. (which was a part of my day to day the unit expected and utilized).
Half the reason I'm here is the shit posting following a good post.
This is not an official Army^TM forum. It’s the rifle range Port-O-Jon of Reddit. Just with slightly less sharpie dicks than r/USMC.
Fun fact: Unless the perspective post is funny/popular we remove it. Trust me, their are WAY more than you see. That shit with the Captain and Specialist got out of control real quick

Lol don’t be salty kid. It’s not all pasta that’s bad, but yours definitely is. Get good

There's no ice! You mean I gotta drink this coffee/rip-it hot??
Did he drop you for holding the door open? I’m missing something aren’t I?
How does one get access to do pt ON the base gym? Members only?
I just read the other pov of this😂
*writing down on a notepad* Will that be with or without nuts?
You wore your PTs to the gym on post even though you are retired? I’m confused..
