What's the most uncomfortable situation you've experienced in the military?

Exposing my squad leader for toxic leadershipm

Oh My. The list is Endless from being the Urinalysis Coordinator for SPAWARS 621/NARDAC and getting to watch everyone pee. Watching Mt Pinatubo Blow Up in my Face. Plenty, Plenty more that I can think of.

Oh, and then there was the time I stopped the GS-22 (Fed equivalent of a flag officer) commander of my SCIF facility from entering, because he didn't have his badge, and I didn't know who he was. Learned the hard way that sometimes civilians are in the CoC.

I roomed with 3 other Scouts in a barracks room. One was a raging alcoholic. One night we awoke to the sounds of him puking and urinating into our carpet! Had to turn him in for his own good and safety.

hmmm... well, there was the one time that I picked up the phone on the ops floor and it was our (married female) ops floor lead. Had a conversation, went to sign off, and she ended with "Alright, love you, bye." On speaker. With two other shifters working, too. It really didn't help that we chatted often about going-ons with floor ops, so that drew a few chuckles.

Mine was was post 82nd AVN BDE Car Wash in Fayetteville NC 1994. We were raising funds to pay for our Hospitality suite at the 82nd Association Convention. Finished up for the day, went it the restaurant TGI Friday's or something like that. The new medic and I were hitting it off pretty well. She was telling me she had been a previous c141 crew chief in the USAF. She was also an intimate barber in her off time. Cool I responded. Hindsight. Boy was I clueless about her hitting on me. Duh!

While on post support cycle we were training ROTC cadets in the field. I had a female cadet pull me off to the side to tell me she had "hit her time of the month". As respectfully as I could, I explained to her how to make a field expedient maxie pad out of her pressure dressing. Uncomfortable for both of us to be sure!

I have two. Being a military police officer has some benefits, but some terrible burdens. I had to notify a fellow Marine about the death of his sister. Still haunts me.
The 2nd not so bad.
I was at MCLB barstow, Ca. (The Mojave desert.) Middle of summer, approx. 110 degrees that day. I went to the rear gate to do some paperwork. My buddy was manning the gate. There was little traffic so he barely stepped out to wave thru personnel. At some point the base Sgt. Major pulled up to the gate and my buddy stuck his arm out of the gaurd shack to wave him thru. Sgt.Major stopped and asked why he did not step out. My buddy said "its to hot to come out."
The sergeant major blew a gasket! "You don't know what hot is! Hot is being in the jungle of Vietnam!" Etc. Etc. Not a good day!

As a Junior Officer, I was out back of the Sq having a cigarette. A Colonel comes out a few minutes later (did not know him), he lite up and we chatted about the weather grounding our flights. I was finishing my cigarette, told him to have a nice day and be on the look out for the new Wing C/C, he said why, told him well his priorities were out of whack and effective tomorrow no more smoking on base and proceeded to express my thoughts on such a stupid ass decision. He said, ok, I'll look out for him . Thirty minutes later my CC is giving the new Wing CC a tour of our bldg, YUP it was the Colonel I was just smoking with and unloaded my opinion of his FIRST new rule. Luckily he was cool and said, come get me when you drive off base for a smoke!

First time at NTC, day 1 there I went to take a shower, only to realize that they were all open showers, and while I was getting un dressed, some dude said I was cute, yea not awkward at all. I have nothing at all against gay people it was just like wtf.
