Army CID is Proud

Seems like half of the army these days. I was down at Benning last month and I visit Bragg for one thing or another every month and the army is looking weak. I was in line to get a sub and I hear this extra feminine deep voice and it's a black guy about 6'4" and kind of a lardass. His uniform is trashed, buttons unbuttoned and tears in his back pocket. I said WTF and everyone looks at me? Then I said to the thing, "don't you give a shit about your uniform?" He was shocked and scared and couldn't respond. lol And 3 people converged on me like secret service. lol One told me not to curse, another said I can't curse and that this isn't the real army anymore. I said I'll curse all I want, call the f'in MPs. The thing had grease on his eyebrows and make up on. Everything was awkward and radio silent after that. lol What happened to the days of when you are wrong, you are wrong, and you just take your ass chewing wherever you are, especially on post.
 
I remember the olden days of polished cocoran jump boots and starched cammies that could stand on their own in garrison….

and if you were ragged out some random SGM/1SGT Would on the spot correct you then call your command

And then you have Field Gear…

Remember the BDUs that were "cook whites"? I don't even know how those BDUs got like that, maybe some bleach got into them. But it was always hilarious watching someone get chewed out for them. lol

Exactly like my Army officer son has said. It’s Loyd Austin’s new Army front and center. And they wonder why they can’t recruit. Soldiers sleeping with My Little Pony‘s in barracks. That’s messed up.

Lest anyone think this is a joke, see below (not photoshopped) taken from a recent "Spur Ride." Btw, #3 in line there is the chaplain, thus not carrying a blue taped M4.

That would be the first one fragged.
Would never be able to trust it.
 
Back in the ‘80’s I had one interaction with an undercover CID. It wasn’t pretty but at least he was a man about it, and honest. I’ll always have respect for him whoever he was. Today, I wouldn’t expect a man or honesty....

Wait, do you even have a dog in this fight @NCLivingBrit?

Did you serve with the Velcro cucumbers?

Not sure what that is, but no I'm just a fat old civvy who despairs of our late stage Imperial collapse and dissipation

There would be sooooo much ass hurt after I was done with this bunch of twats! And it would be fun (for me )!
 
Are you SERIOUSLY saying this is an unedited photo?

An earlier comment about cursing I took as sarcasm too - hopefully!

I retired in 1995 when I could, and did, still call all genders a MF as needed or earned.

God help us all!
 
I recall LGBTQ soldiers killing themselves because of their shame.

Not sure to which post you refer @Ben Jefferson, but the photo I posted with the my-little-pony was taken directly from a cavalry squadron's facebook page with no editing on my part.

Here's more (left side of photo):

What exactly does Cavalry do in the Army nowadays @GreatGazoo?

No horses anymore. I've never done a FB page in my life.

Is that weekend warriors, a school's group or ?.

Or is Bill Murray the CO of the regular Army Sir!

I'll try to address your question pithily, with apologies for any mistakes as I am not a veteran.

Cavalry is part of the armor branch, not a separate branch. There is, however, a cavalry branch pin that can be worn when assigned to a cavalry designated unit.

Cavalry in some sense is a culture and living organizational history & lineage within the armor branch. Traditions such as the cavalry stetson and spur rides are maintained. Sub-units are squadrons (battalions) and troops (companies); soldiers are troopers.

1 CAV DIV is, for all practical purposes, an armored division, composed of x3 ABCTs and associated support units, in which all the subunits have cavalry designations (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_C...t_US_Cavalry_Division_-_Organization_2021.png ).

Within other ABCT, SBCT, and IBCT, the designated cavalry squadron (a battalion for non-cav) generally carries out the RSTA (aka "scout") functions for the parent brigade. The TOE for a cavalry squadron is quite different, of course, depending on whether part of an armored; stryker, or infantry brigade combat team.
 
I think yall are over reacting to the pics. That looks more like a "I F'd up and I'm being humiliated " motivation device. I seem to remember some people having to wear a toilet ring around there necks as a similar motivational tool back in the early 90s.

Embarrassment is one hell of a teacher. I have used it hundreds of times. But you limit exposure to avoid damage.

I would think it's a motivational thing too, except that the "new" Army doesn't allow cussing at the joe's needing motivation or touching them, so I'm inclined to believe that it's real.
(80s era joe speaking)

I take it a "joe" is a recruit.

A different world to me!

I have been involved with recruit training twice. Once wth a hat pushing boots for a short time.

The first time I was a scumbag, puke, MF, POS, worst part of what dripped down my mothers leg...

...and those were some of the polite names.

Not much different in the early 80s!

I know my men in the mid 90s knew what it was like to have a leader who did more than say Please and Thank you. I did that, but they knew wrath when they earned it also. There's an overlooked line at end of an enlisted NJP when punishment is dealt out "This individual is hereby awarded...

I just feel truly scared if our youth has all been coddled and protected to the point that a curse word will lead to an incident of outrage that might break their train of thought on the battlefield.

God help the United States of America!


Forgive the rant

This is the mission. Our rulers are on the side of our enemies, they want armed forces for suppressing internal dissent and turning the MIC money crank, not to project American power.

Expect more marginal recruiting with a focus on leftist political worldview and intersectional gender issues, because those are the people who will cheerfully turn their weapons on the average American.

People today post all kinds of stuff on social media that we never would. I remember when people would pull out disposable cameras at parties and then get them pulled away and broken. No pics means it didn't happen. Stupid people today, adults included, call into work sick then make FB post with pics of themselves out doing fun stuff.

Would I post it on FB? Nope but today's idiots would and show all their friends.

Joe = lower enlisted, mainly E1-E3. Usually the knuckleheads.
At least according to a buddy of mine, retired E8 who I think still works at Bragg.

You ridicule persons of faith on the site, but don’t recognize mental illness.

The mission will fail because of this kind of thinking.
