Back in 04 during my first tour of Astan, we used to have these admin type days at the FOB. They'd fly in a legal guy, a postal clerk, and a few others. Somewhere along the line they decided it would be a great idea to send along an NCO to try and get people to reenlist. While waiting in line for the mail, this chubby E6 chick starts talking to all the soldiers.
When she gets to me she said "master sergeant", don't they have irons here at your FOB? Your uniform is a mess.... I couldn't believe it. A true Fobbit right in front of me, and I wanted to punch her right in the fat face.
My response....loud enough for all the soldiers to hear "Do you know where you are?"...this is a "FIRE BASE", all of my men just came off of a 21 day mission, this is their first day off...do you see any washing machines or driers here?.....good luck with your reinlistments., now move out!
I wanted to be really pissed, but honestly she was so pathetic it was just funny.
FOBBIT...but ya know as fat and homely as she was, guaranteed someone was tagging it back in BAF.
