pipedreams Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Definitely got your attention, some funny stuff there. Then there is the one about the Navy and Disney partner to offer ‘the most magical deployments on earth’ Edited February 27, 2019 by pipedreams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar_ml Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Yeah, sounds like something a butter bar would do. ours only got lost for a day or two at a time, just don't ask them to give directions to the driver of a vehicle. Amazingly enough, the butter bar and the E3 managed to successfully complete a 17 point turn in an LMTV with 5 lanes of available traffic to drive through. Only issue with this article, it stopped being "Camp" Humphreys about 12 years ago, and became "USAG" Humphreys. I should know, I was there at the time.

Haven't heard the term butter bar in a long time. Pretty well describes some of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a good one for a while in my company, he went green to gold, so he knew all the tricks for us spec 4's when we were trying to get out of doing something. Fortunately, his viewpoint was if you weren't smart enough to find a way to avoid something, it was your own fault. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWalrad Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 There's something imbedded in the butterbar insignia that causes LT's to navigate straight through the largest, deepest, coldest body of water within 30 klicks. I think they catch it in Ranger School. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Stick Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Best exchange I ever saw was a CSM tell a W-1 he couldn’t hear him unless he was standing at the position of parade rest. W-1 replied I can’t hear you, your heels aren’t together. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad was a Lt in Vietnam. Infantry Platoon commander. What may have helped was he was in supply or something else for a short time before being put in the field. Kinda helped him figure out which way was up I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That guy couldn't march for ****, but he could land nav his ass off. I spent a year as his RTO and he turned out to be a really nice guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of how I worked with street hire Special Agents who treated the uniform guys like crap, and had to learn the hard way. Coming from uniform to that position, I made friends easily and worked side-by-side with them. So, when I needed the help they were there. The nose in the air street hires were on their own.

Dric902 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 The best LT I ever had was ROTC. Came into the unit as a Special Weapons Officer and didn’t have any idea what it was about. took me off to the side on Friday and said”Look Chief, I dont know what I’m doing. Can you teach me so I dont look like a moron?” I spent most of Saturday and Sunday in the section room with him. He bought lunch and by the next week he was one of the best SWO in the Battalion. I liked those kind of LTs . 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) On one occasion, the new OCS Ensign assigned as Operations Officer on my ship, sat cross legged on the radio shack floor and cried. I felt bad for him, but he should never have broken the key off in the crypto room lock. This was after he strafed the flying bridge with a Thompson during an shooting exercise. Poor guy was out of his element. Edited March 1, 2019 by janice6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ Husker Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Going from a SEAL to a maintenance supervisor is a downward spiral, not a promotion. He couldn't cut it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also when you're older and humpin the bush its best to go into seal training for new recruits or upgrade yourself to officer staus into another MOS.
