Re: Hate Thread
Sure that wasn't common but a lot of exercises and training runs had us running through small villages made of haybails with barrels of burning cow and pig guts and piles of animal shit laying around. Or doing all our shit in various times of shitty weather (storms, hail etc.)
Then of course there were the lectures. The theory of machine gun fire seems like an interesting class until you have to sit there and listen to an hour of it, followed by the advantages of moving through dead ground for the next hour.
Jobs, no matter the job, want to make sure that when the shit goes down, you know what to do, instead of stalling when the pressure is on and possibly fucking up bad. Best get used to that, as a word of advice.
Also to Chibi, that sucks. Sly got a hoodie from Rooster Teeth (A Caboose one that has a -1 on the back) and it was delivered easily within a few weeks. Sometimes bad shit happens.
In the military they had something for yes called a stress range. They threw light explosives at us, screamed at us, threw shit at us, all while trying to get us to dissemble our rifles, load a magazine manually, then put said rifle back together, then load and hit the target. If we didn't get the required score, start again.I know! Today I had to complete this online certification for my job so that I don't get sued or screwed from behind when I publish stuff for them....anyway it turned out to be HOURS of reading dense useless hogwash and I had to score at least an 80% in order to get the certification. By the end I was holding my head to keep my brain from exploding! It didn't help that they kept giving me these ambiguous "scenario" questions and trying to trick me into getting the answer wrong. Really...if they want me to be certified in this stuff why try to trick me or put my brain in a cluster****???
