You ever have one of those days when you get the new guys?

We got a brand new Soldier fresh from AIT. Finally filling a MOS that has been vacant for over two years. Kid comes and in processes and already has all these documented injuries from basic and IET. But medical records don't show any breaks or tears, just the Soldier complaining about pain until they gave him profiles. Got to the unit with a dead man's profile and was discharged less than 6 months later....smh.

CSM (Join to see) when it is the new guy you can forgive it as just that. They are new and there is a learning curve. The real short bus, did your parents have any children that lived, how can you have survived this long being this stupid, please shower with a running hair dryer people are the ones who have been around and should know better. The ones who have been trained. The ones who have been around, and still ask day one booter stupid questions.

Me: Press and hold the Control key.
ShortBus: Which one is that, the one that says CTRL on it?
That is when I had to put down the headset, and walk away.

ME: Enter your E-Mail password.
ShortBus: The one for Outlook?
Me: Yes
SB: I am typing in the 8 stars, but it is not working.

Those are both real conversations I have had with people. I thought they were joking, but nope they were serious. This is why I do not use a computer when I leave my office.

Being a Combat Arms Instructor, all the new Security Forces Airman came to CATM to qualify on weapons once they're assigned Squadrons. For Airmen who's job it is to carry weapons daily on post, and had qualified IN tech school, you'd think they'd never seen a weapon. A new Security Forces class was like starting with A B C EVERY time.
