Need Advice ~ Army Reserves
October 8, 2005 | Jemian

Posted on 10/08/2005 3:50:46 PM PDT by Jemian

My son, also a freeper, just completed his BASIC and AIT training. He returned home Thursday night at 2200. He is supposed to report to his Reserve Unit within 72 hours.

But no one has been at his unit. JT's gone over there, telephoned and left call back numbers on the answering machine. He is worried about not making contact and being considered AWOL.

Has anyone ever experienced this? What is the usual plan of action?

At present he's planning to keep phoning through Monday, but not travel back there until Tuesday. It takes a little over an hour to get to his unit and doesn't want to spend the gas unless someone will be there.

When you get the time and post the story ping me... I would be intrested to hear... I am a student of history..always intrested in hearing personal accounts to put the facts in perspective..

as for my service.. no need to thank me it was an honor for m e to do it..I thank the citizens of this country that support our military like yourself, because that is what keeps the men and women fighting out there going.. and why I served.

"You are sort of like a Nazi!"

That's the same thing as sort of pregnant ain't it?

I mean, should I infer from his implication that I goose-step, but no "Seig Heil" salute?

Well, there is only one way to deal with stupid generalizations, and ad hominen attacks:

You swine. You vulgar little maggot. You worthless bag of filth. As we say in Texas, I'll bet you couldn't pour p!ss out of a boot with instructions on the heel. You are a canker. A sore that won't go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you. You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon. You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done. I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell? Try to edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more rapidly. You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood. May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs.

Thank you. I don't know; I'll ask him and he'll make the decision.

He's tried to call the next closest place and he left his name and number on their answering machines as well. Thanks for the reassurance.

I'll pass your congratulations on to him. I'm awfully proud of him. In BASIC he graduated platoon guide and in AIT he was at the top of his class.

I'll eat my cornflakes AFTER I seal your soul in a jar you idiot.

When you collect 100 troll souls you can trade them in for a bag of peanut butter cups.

Most bases these days have a website with phone lists and even instructions for personel transferring to the base. It might be worth checking it out. There has to be SOMEONE on duty there even though it's a three day weekend.

While checking in late due to be unable to contact a duty person isn't a big deal, explaining yourself to the CSM probably isn't the best way to start off at a new command.
