So back in the great city of chicago
Things were interesting I'll give it in highlight mode.
--21 out of 42 people passed the class (Hazmat operations) which they need to be able to do their mission which should be starting in a few months.
The previous failure record for this class was 80 something percent which they broke easily on day one.
-- The Seargent First Class in charge which apparently just transferred in was in need of a psych eval and a competancy review. Everything we did when she was in charge was in some way messed up.
One of many examples
SPOILERS! (Click to view)Were running late and need these classes done this day by 5 when trans was picking us up. We got no time, and people are failing like crazy. The instructor mentions that you can decontaminate people from hazards by having them swim in pools. The seargent tries to start a story, the instructor says we don't have time, we need to keep going. He takes a breath, she proceeds to start her story up again, about how she and her mother went swimming in a pond. In the pond their was algae or something that caused an allergic reaction in her mother, but she didn't get one because she went in a hot tube. -The End
--Nearly got in two fights,
SPOILERS! (Click to view)one beacuse a kid just out of ait, was trying to bully a seargent into letting him go and drive to pick up his hat while we were working. He had been late to most previous formations if he had shown at all, was 6 hours late for the first day of class because he didn't pack his shit in his car, and failed the first set of tests because he slept through the class because he was out drinking the night befour. So he kept at this seargent till eventually I stepped in and told him, she said no so drop it. Then we had words, and she let him go a half hour later making me feel stupid.
Last day I'm doing extra work to get us out on time. I'm hauling a big thing of garbage 300 meters to a trash bin, they see my shorts on backwards (it happens). I was wearing pants on top most of the day, and had realized but was busy working so I was going to get it when I was done in five minutes. I got stoped by the same seargent I had delt with early that week. She brings it to my attention, then some big guy who was trying to look hard comes at me saying "fix yourself" like I ain't shit. I turn to him and told him to go fuck himself, and went on my way, then some other seargent who hasn't done anything but get drunk while we've been their starts trying to clown on me. So me and him have words, it was just the end to that trip I would have expected.
NOW FOR THE Cou-de-grae of the trip
SPOILERS! (Click to view)--I was offered sex for my t-shirt. I wanted to go out sat night because we were off sunday, not unusual thing to do. I go over to buddies place suppose to have a few drinks then head out, most people end up bailing but one guy says he's in. So I call the cab, then he invites another guy with us, and tells him he'll cover him for the night. We get to the bar, ten minuets in he wants to leave he has a "headache", and tells me he doesn't want to go the cash machine, and he doesn't have cash for the cab home. I give them cash for the ride home, but his buddy just got out so he wants to stay I say fine. So I end up buying a few rounds, he's being a hound dog (no big deal). He starts conversation with the group of girls that offers me sex for my t-shirt (that wouldn't have fit her at all) "Party in Amserdam, Vegas is for Sissys" (favorite party shirt, even though I'm not a drug person). So were hanging out and the other guy starts hitting on the sex for shirt girl. They offer us ride to late night strip club (only late night bar around) we get in car, then told were droping one girl off then going. So we drop their friend off, then they decide to go back to their place, because during that time the guy I had met a 40 something year old man, had started making out with the girl who offered me sex again when we got in the car. I go with because people go missing near military bases all the time, because the locals sometimes will rob you and such or you a guy gets caught up cause the girl has a husband, so its always safety in numbers. So I spend the next few hours sitting on a couch while the two of them fuck in her bed room then we get driven back to the base at 5 in the mourning.
