What was the dumbest thing you did while in the military?

Married a Kraut while stationed in Darmstadt. That was f-ing stupid.

Once it gets straightened out how long I will be mobilized I will be looking to transfer to PsyOps. From there I will be able to attend the schools. I need to pay my dues here first and that can be another 12-16 months.

Dark, your HTT experience will be a tremendous asset to the PSYOP community (PsyOps is what the Brits call it).

You should also get into a lot more schools. You going active or reserve PSYOP?

Got drunk



and it all fell apart after that.

So my comrade's told me that when they saw me get on the train, I was holding hands with this Irish girl, and everything looked good, so they let me go...

When I woke up however, the train was dark, and was in the station, which was also dark. I can only assume the girl left me when I passed out, and the conductor was sympathetic enough that he didn't call the Polizei.

So I walked off the train, exited the station (the doors locked behind me, btw) and went and stood in the middle of the empty street in front of the station. It was 4am. By now I was wide awake and a little worried, which is probably why I remember parts of this like it was yesterday.

I saw two taxi's parked a couple hundred meters away, and walked up to them. They were chatting about something when I walked up (thankful that they were still speaking German) and said the name of the town where our barracks were. There was silence as they glanced at each other. One of the cabbie's reached for a map in his glovebox while the other got on the radio and asked where the town I was asking for was. Needless to say I was getting pretty fucking worried. After about five minutes, they found it.

I hopped in the first cab, and eventually passed out again.

I woke up being shaken by somebody through the passenger window. I looked and it was an MP, and the cabbie was standing about 20 meters away at the guard shack at the entrance to Post. The MP told me I owed the cabbie $90. I looked in my wallet - EMPTY.

They asked what unit I was with, and I told them. They called CQ, and it just so happens one of the other FO teams was on duty and sent a runner to the ATM for the cash. I got in zero trouble, and even got to sleep off the drunk. That team SGT never spoke to me again though, even though he drank more than I did, and ended up getting a DUI from the Polizei in Frankfurt.

Cuz it took me forever to get off my lazy ass and find my "I Love Me" book with all my records. That and I had to pay my teenage son 10 bucks to fix my POS scanner.

Didn't know what I was missin'!

This is a really old thread but I'll keep it going ...
Down by the Gatun locks in Panama during Jungle School in 81, lauched a parachute flare in the middle of the day, landed in some really dry sawgrass and caused a huge wildfire. I hadn't shaved in 8 days ... seemed like that pissed the CO off more than the fire.

Biggest mistake:

Believing a chick when she said she was on the pill. Still have to pay child support for 10 more years.

So much for moving to Africa to get out of it.

I am almost done anyway. 24 months and 12 days to go.
