>>2052650It happens literally all the time. Between basic and AIT I can’t remember a 12+ mile ruck where some retard didnt try to wear brand new standard issue garbage he hadn’t broken in and wore his shit down to the achilles tendon. Happened fairly routinely throughout the rest of my enlistment as well. It’s a level of retardation right up there with locking your knees in an inspection. Standing in the front bored as fuck best thing you can do is ignore the cheesy ass speeches and self aggrandizing faggots passing a flag around and listen for the sound of Snuffy passing out behind you.
No discipline. Everyone will call you a retard though and your first line will bitch you out for making the rest of the unit aware of their autism.
Theres usually a van following behind if its a road march. If you’re out on the trail then they might take your ruck and shit off and make the rest of the squad or platoon take turns carrying it. This is to both ease the rest of the march for that individual and make the rest of us aware that bloody boot anon is a fucking retard.
>>2052692Correct way is to just wear them in the shower and not use new boots on a fucking ruck.

>>2052902Must have been nice and cozy. My 1st Sgt at Bragg brought his dog on a ruck once and it overheated and died. Carried it the last couple miles. Dropped the body by his car and went back on the trail to call everyone that was lagging behind a piece of shit.
>>2057030This. Something you quickly learn about POG NCOs is they are either total shitbag career E6 profile riding types or they hate being POG NCOs and overcompensate to retarded levels that basically remove all training value. Not that the bulk of mine were qualified to train a dog to shit outside. Anyone in my MOS that actually deployed to a combat zone ETSd as quickly as they could to get away from the faggots in my command. Myself included.
