Did you get an Article 15? What was yours for?

shoot, I forget exactly what. I think I made PFC 4 times altogether. The last time was for refusing to go to drill until I was authorized a doctor for my turned-out-to-be-crippled shoulder. First day I was ever AWOL in my life. A soldier has damned few rights- but adequate (non-combat) healthcare is one of those rights. We've adjusted things, since. Takes 5 to 6 years on your own dime, figure. But the war was won, (sort of) or I'd have showed up anyway.

I got an Article 15 for telling a LT that he was stupid. He really was. He eventually got kicked out.

I got one because my drunk underage girlfriend (it was 3 days before her 21st bday, and she was gonna be out in the field during it) at the time decided to curse out a 1LT at the staff duty desk. I was of age at the time and even though I was the main one trying to shut her up, I still caught the heat. Needless to say, she wasn't my girlfriend for too long after that.

No Article 15, but close.... A Sergeant made a lewd innuendo about my Aunt, who was like a Mother to me and I gave him the finger, Fortunately my section chief intervened and kept it to a counseling statement.

1st one I was scared to death I was getting one. The 2nd I did (and to this day I don't really understand why)
1st) doing a dog and pony show out on Sicily drop zone. I was a brand new E-nothing to the unit. My Capt. told me to not let anyone drive a vehicle in front of the bleachers and then walked away. After standing there for hours I see a hummer pulling up. I stopped it and this Capt. leaned out telling me to get the hell out of the way. I firmly stated that I apologize sir but my Capt. instructed me to not let any vehicle drive in front of the bleachers. This Capt. starts yelling at me and proceeding to scare the living shit out of me saying he was going to get me into all kinds of trouble yadayadayada. After a few minutes of this and me saying no someone in the backseat says hold on and I see this older gentleman (i was 19 everyone looked old to me lol) stick his head out the rear window stating "son do you think I can go out there". Ok so i went from scared to terrified. Im staring at this single star on this guys lapel (which looked as big as my helmet at the time) I quickly snapped to attention saluting him and I think I said something to the effect of yes sir anything you want to do sir. The Capt. just drove away. A few minutes later I see the Capt. talking to my Capt. pointing over to where I'm standing. So of course my terror skyrockets. After a couple of minutes I see the Brigadier General join the Captains. He starts pointing his finger at The a-hole Capt. finally pointing over to where his Humvee is and the Capt. walks off. My Capt. and the General talk for a few more minutes laughing then they start walking towards me. So by now my emotions are completely on edge. When they get up to me I snap to attention and salute again. I must have obviously looked terrified because my Capt. chuckled and introduced me to the General. He the shook my hand and proceeded to apologize for his newly promoted Capt. and that he should have had his rank flags ( i cant remember what they are called) on the vehicle. Both of them proceed to say that I did a good job for sticking to my orders. I must have still looked terrified because they were both laughing when they walked away.
2nd) Went on company leave. about 2 days before we were supposed to return my wife starts having a miscarriage. so I went through the red cross to get my leave extended. When I finally return (5 days later) I'm ordered to see my platoon leader and platoon sgt. They proceed ask what happened to all my gear out in the storage facility. I stated I don't know and that I have been gone this whole time and I had just returned. It seems that while we were on leave someone had broken into the storage facility where all the off post guys kept their equipment but that mine was the only one missing stuff. So I got a company grade article 15 for failing to properly secure my issued equipment. Like I said to this day I have no clue on how they justified giving me one but oh well.

Article 15 for getting stabbed in Mexico . . .

shaving my head with a razor in bct smh

I threatened to go to the command of a Staff Sergeant that was having an affair with my wife and destroy his career. I got a Field Grade Article 15 from Colonel Stevens of the Womack Army Medical Center Fort Bragg. The Article 15 was for conveying a threat.

I was stationed in Mannheim Germany in 96 and we had a mentor program where we would mentor a young kid from the school on base. We would do it every Tuesday afternoon. I did this for about 5 months the kids family had to PCS back to the States. Well me I thought I could pull a slick one and in the back of my mind I thought I don't think I should do this but I never told anyone that the kid was gone back to the States. At the end of the school year the principal called my 1SG and asked him to get with me to have me come to a reunion for all the mentors. I guess he knew that I would already know about this and called me in to his office the next morning to ask me how my mentor was doing and I knew something was up and basically told him what I had done and his reply to me was well you messed up so we will give you a company article 15 which he said will be taken out of your packet and we will not bust you of any rank but we are going to have you do extra duty for two weeks and that was painting the barracks and cutting grass in the motor pool everyday from 5 pm until 11pm and on weekends from 7 am to 8 pm which sucked while everyone was out having fun. It was my once and only time I messed up in the Army.

Strippers at sharkys .. All I have to say lol
