[Re-Post] Showing up To formation hammered
Showing up to morning formation hammered!
This one's going to be be one on me.
I think it's 96 or 97 not sure of the year. But me and a platoon mate went over to his sister's for dinner and drinks after Friday evening formation.
We get over to his sister's at 19:00 or so had some killer BBQ and was nursing a jd and coke. Said to my buddy I was not going to drink hard that night!
Well that was a lie. My buddy and I didn't stop till like 03:00 in the morning formation was at 06:30. Well we crashed and woke up twenty minutes before formation and got dressed and sped over to the armory still more or less hammered at least I was.
Managed to make it through morning formation with not a lot of difficulty. But the day was young and I was so fucked!
We were doing training stations. Take apart a m-6o and other small arms. Up load the 25 mm main gun on the Bradley. 119
This task was not easy being still more or less drunk. All sorts of fun stuff. And after lunch a company run in formation. I have never puked like I did after that run 😂 that sobered me up right quick.
Commander call me in to his office and oh boy did I think I got caught! And I was right! He had me at attention and asked if today was fun? I said it was good training. He said I know you and <PERSON> came to morning formation drunk. I said yes sir I did! He said this was my one get out of jail free card and it better not happen again!! I said no sir it will not happen again because today sucked to be perfectly honest sir.
Commander said good enough for him and to send in <PERSON> ..
We got our asses handed to us. No non judicial punishment because the run was it. So we lucked out on that one and never did that again 406
