That kinda sucks. Commanding a company on deployment (I'd imagine overseas?) wouldn't look too shabby on your record. :wink:

Plus, from what I hear, that's the greatest kind of command of all. But, recruit company commander isn't anything to snort at either. You get a hand in molding the new soldiers that will be coming to join the Army. Certainly no small task. I wish you the best in that.

And if you make Major, doesn't that make you the first member of The Mess to wear scrambled eggs on your cover? :)

Oh, I don't know. I'm sure Lonestar has worn scrambled eggs, and a whole bunch of other stuff, on his cover during his times in the galley. :D

You're an evil, evil man.

I can only hope I get a Chief as evil as you in three years (even if you're imaginary). :P

Poor Jegs2, I feel for him, gonna get himself a nice, cushy XO job...next thing you know, he'll be oficer of the day harassing the MPs at the gate :wink: .

"Hey private*squint*.....Klix....what's your third general order?"
"Sir, my third general ord-."
"your boots are scuffed, Klix"
"Sir, I scuffed them when a lady stepped on my foot while exiting he-"
"Klix, who's the post commander?"
"Sir, the post commander is General *Whatever his name was*, Sir."
"What company are you in, Private?"
"Sir, The 66th Mp C-"
"Captain Maupin, right?"
"Sir, yes Sir."
"Have a nice night, Private."
"Yes, Sir."
*Salute*
*Returns salute half heartedly*

Next morning...

*BAM BAM BAM*
"KLIX! GET UP, GET YOUR PT'S ON! THE COMMANDER WANTS YOU IN HER OFFICE."
"Mmph....Yes, Sergeant"
*Reports to Cpt. Maupin*
"Klix, Major *whatever his name was* said he visited you at east gate last night."
"Yes, Ma'am."
"Do you recall what he asked you?"
"Yes Ma'am, he asked me my third General order, why my boots were scuffed, who the post commander was, what company I was in and your name, Ma'am."
"He said you were squared away."
'Ma'am?"
"Yeah, he's a real asshole, but he was impressed by you."
"Ma'am?"
"Good job, Klix."
"Thank you Ma'am"
"Dismissed."
"Yes, Ma'am."

*Next day At PT*
"Klix, The commander says she wants you to be the guidon bearer for this run. She *likes* you. *Evil grin*"

Worst. Run. Ever.

At the end of that run I wanted to die.

Oh, then there was the time I parked in the CSM's parking spot cause they were painting the curb and the CSM stencil was not visible and it was my third day at the unit...I never heard the end of that from my First Sergeant...he always referred to her around me as either "Angie" or "Your Girlfriend, Klix"

"Looking forward to seeing your girlfriend at the inspection tomorrow, Klix?"

"Angie says Hi, Klix." *wink*

Fuck...I'm rambling again....ahh...memories....

If I was a real Chief I'd be much more evil than this. :twisted:


That might be a good thing to remember. :wink:

Which is why I have taken to heart the advice of "get on the good side of your Chief."

I fully recognize that my first tour will basically be me doing what the Chief tells me to do. When I'm not trying to get my pin, anyway. :)
