Just for kicks. Blue falcon stories.

I was a pretty new private, and my NG company sent a platoon to Germany as part of an ODT rotation at Hohenfels. The first night we were there, our platoon SGT told my team leader to provide a guy for latrine watch, to prevent nationals from a particular mid eastern country from crapping in the sinks and showers, like they had the last time our guys were there. Being the new guy, I was picked for the job. However, there was no roster, they were going to come up with one, but somebody had to get on the job right now. After a few hours on the job, I began to wonder if I was getting a replacement. So I see a guy from my platoon (one of the permanent private types) and ask him if he'll remind my team leader that I'm out there. He tells me, "Hell no, if I do, he'll send me out here," and walks off. A couple hours later, a more dependable soldier came by and he got me relieved.

I went to FROC school at 29 Palms, Ca. Got conned into pulling Helo watch on the Generals lawn. About 20 minutes into the sham, a Gy/Sgt. who was doing Staff Duty stepped out and asked me what I was hanging around for, and I explained. He told me to secure. I "been had".

My first two barracks roommates at Belvoir were complete jerks. I would do all the mopping, sweeping, dusting, etc.for our room so I would not get in trouble for failing room inspection. The first guy was a complete drunk and would, without fail, wreck the room everytime I was gone. In one instance, I stayed up all night and cleaned before going to a 0430 formation on a Saturday due to an unexpected field day due to a report of weed in the barracks rooms. I dose for 30 minutes before formation and wake up to the room being a mess. When chief asked what happened, my roommate and a buddy of his said I got mad in a drunken rage and flipped shit in the room. Got me in trouble so I punched dude in his throat. That got me moved to my second roommate, who always skipped field day. I would cover for him and then get busted for it. After that, I gave up caring how my barracks rooms looked and I repeatedly failed inspections, thinking that if I'm always gonna get in trouble anyways might as well save myself the effort of cleaning.

I shared a barracks room with a guy, and the local schedual meant there was 30-60 minutes to shower, change, check emails, and whatever between the end of morning pt and when we had to be somewhere else.
Two guys, one bathroom. No problem, right?
Well, half the time I'd get in the shower first, but the other half he'd always be in there until 10 minutes before we would leave (for the majority of that time the shower wasn't running). Given that bind, I showered after work. I thought he would get the hint, because he obviously should have known that I knew what he was really doing in there, but nothing was said and nothing changed until we parted ways weeks later.
The thing was, word quickly got around our squad that I didn't always shower in the morning. This exaggerated rumor could have only been the product of one person, which was weird because overall I got along with my roommate ok and I don't know what he would be mad at me for.......

Every chance I got to throw my buddy under the bus I took.

He made great impressions of our PSGs, got kicked out of strip clubs(presumably for using a credit card where cash goes traditionally), and a whole host of other things.

If it was going to be funny I would throw on my Blue Falcon super hero costume and stir shit up.
