So this is a list someone very close to me wrote about reenlisting in the Army While a lot of it I can definitely understand i can't completely agree w/ everything but once you live that lifestyle Your Opinion should definitely count for something that's why I pass this on to inform anyone who might even "THINK" about joining just read some of this list, definitely made me want to slap someone...carry onIn case you're wondering what this is, its a list I wrote over the last couple of years to help remind me of why I shouldn't reenlist. Because there was a time when I really did want to do nothing else except this job. But the Army or 4ID or whoever was in charge kept giving me the shaft time and time again and I felt that I needed reminders in case I happened to accidently forget and end up signin somethin I shouldn't have. Most of this was written before I was promoted to Sgt and some was even written before my Platoon Sgt made me a team leader, which is when alot of my thinking changed, or at least all of my anger was just focused upon the privates through some serious "Quality time". One day I was told to give the privates a class, it was like at the end of a Friday, the poor bastards had had every class imaginable throughout the week and were sick and tired of seein me just as much as I was of them. But nevertheless, we were all standin around not doin shit like we always were and "They" (leadership, ncos, whoever) didnt like it. So I gathered everyone up and decided to read off what I had written at the time as my class. They thought it was fuckin hilarious but the NCOs didn't, they said it was "demoralizing" and lectured me. I STAND BY MY DECISION, so fuck it.
Reasons why NOT to reenlist
Let me explain somethin before you read this, i dont know if this is gonna get passed around, i may or may not get in trouble i really dont care. but before i start you’re gonna see the word POG alot, People Other than Grunts are everywhere, chances are you met one and didnt know it. these motherfuckers are the ones with jobs like water purifyer, MPs, communications, field artillery, supply, cooks, tankers, and so on. If you’re not Infantry or Special Forces then you’re FUCKING SUPPORT, THE WHOLE REASON YOU HAVE A JOB IS BECAUSE OF ME! YOU'RE A GODDAMN CIVILIAN WHO FOR WHATEVER REASON HAS THE HONOR AND FUCKING PRIVELAGE OF WEARING MY UNIFORM!!!! there are 2 exceptions tho, medics, in iraq our platoon medic Spc Kyle Krull was down on the ground with us every GOD FORSAKEN step of the way, if we were suckin, HE was suckin. its because of him that i gained a new found respect for medics. and if an Army bitch marries an 11B she revokes her POG status. but POGs are everywhere and are always the ones who do NOTHING, yet come back home and tell their families all kinds of crazy war stories, rest assured, they did NOTHING in iraq except hog up the phones and hog up the computers so that REAL soldiers could not communicate with their friends and families, THANK YOU YOU PIECES OF SHIT. if celebrities came to visit, it were the POGs they saw. these guys are worthless, SO if you know or meet a soldier (and the same applies to Marines) before you listen to anything they have to say, i want you to ask, what is your job, if they say INFANTRY, SF, or COMBAT MEDIC, by all means hug them, they’ve earned it. they have busted their ASSES in some way or another to where they should own their own fucking STATE! but if they say ANY FUCKING THING else and chances are they will, KICK THEM RIGHT IN THEIR MOTHERFUCKING N U T S and call them a little BITCH FOR JOINING THE ARMY/MARINES to be a FUCKIN MECHANIC OR LAUNDRY SERVICE OR WHATEVER BULLSHIT THEY SAY! then tell them how you’re going to shoot their parents for raising such a worthless SNIVELING VAG, nuff said

PART 2
Right now I'm currently back in the asshole of the planet (Iraq for those of you who've never been). Alot of what I've wrote here has happened in the last 9 months, a few, a little bit earlier. But most of it is going to refer to 2 certain individuals, both are my bosses but theres still quite a few people between me and these 2 motherfuckers, so outta respect to those guys I'm giving these 2 ASSHOLES codenames. The first I'll call "Lucky", why you ask, cuz this MOTHERFUCKER is lucky he hasn't been shot by his own FUCKING men by now let alone HAJ (nickname we have for Iraqis or pretty much anyone middle eastern). The other one I'll call Krispy Kreme, why you ask, cuz hes a fucking tanker. We in the Infantry perceive tankers the same way civilians perceive police officers, fat, useless, and always stuffin their face with doughnuts! Now I know that NOT all police officers are fat, useless, and always stuffin their face, just like NOT all tankers are like that, but they're still POGs so who gives a FUCK. Krispy Kreme is Lucky's boss, hes right above him, so I gotta answer to him as well. nuff said.
84. Lucky actually gave us a curfew while in the rear!
85. 3 guys we all knew died and at the ceremony he was the only one who didn't shed one tear
86. Lucky made you hug him
87. Later on that same night, that PIECE OF SHIT flexed his fucking rank and kicked you off the phone!!! It did bring a smile to your face though when his wife didn't answer, hopefully she's getting railed out by some private in rear D.
87. During winter our water heater was broken, so everytime we'd take showers the water would pretty much give you hypothermia, but leave it to ole LUCKY to have a working one, then leave it to the SON OF A BITCH to say that only E7s and above are allowed to use his showers (thats right plural). PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!!!!! I HOPE YOU DIE!!!!!!!!!!!
88. When we get back I know we're gonna have to wait on him at the end of a Friday just so he can give us his long FAGGOT speeches
89. Then there was the time he flipped out cuz he didn't like the way PFC J tied down his nods, and starts yellin at the leadership,...................i hope his wife is pregnant when he goes home.
90. He almost fired your LT for a "lack of loyalty", which pretty much means he didn't suck his dick or kiss his ass........................i hope she has twins
91. He tried on several ocassions to get a SGT to make him coffee, cuz APPARENTLY thats just wtf SGTs are for, MAKING COFFEE FOR HIS LAZY FUCKING ASS!!!.........................and i especially hope the twins are black
92. He says he was an SF medic
93. He says he was an E-6 Ranger
94. That somehow changed to E-5
95. That later changed to E-4
96. He has a different combat patch for every day of the week
97. If you haven't guessed by now his entire career along with his uniform are all a LIE.
98. He made you hate Rangers, assuming he ever was one
99. Not only would you NOT take a bullet for him, you've considered the option of hiring an insurgent to take him out
100. When he first arrived, he made you watch a slideshow...............ABOUT HIM!
101. He throws temper tantrums when we're not in the right uniform............BUT, you've seen him on several ocassions not even IN uniform, IN FUCKING CIVILIAN CLOTHES!!! AT THE GYM!!! YOU SORRY SACK OF SHIT!!!!!
102. Patrol Briefs, you'd think he was on his period if everyone isn't there for them
103. He lectures for hours and hours about NOT drinking and driving, yet he himself does it, WEIRD
104. Everytime he walks in the room you suddenly get very angry and have to leave
105. Whenever ole Krispy Kreme comes around theres really no delay whatsoever when it comes to Lucky slobbin on his knob.
106. He thinks we like him
107. He thinks we respect him
108. He thinks we won't kill him
109. God I hate him
110. Currently we're at this tiny base where theres showers, but we're not allowed to use them. We have to wait 6 days before we rotate to the rear to shower, WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD AND ASK THAT SON OF A BITCH IF HE WAITS 6 FUCKING DAYS FOR A SHOWER! MUST BE FUCKING NICE
111. 24Dec2008, your squad leader SSG EARNEST WILLARD WENTWORTH III, made you do Crossfit, yep, that HORRIBLE INHUMANE PT session on CHRISTMAS FUCKING EVE at 9 o'clock at night WHILE EVERYONE ELSE WAS AT THE PHONES OR IN BED AFTER A LONG DAY OF MISSIONS! congratulations Dubs, you made the list
112, Someone thought it would be "cool" to have a bonfire New Years Eve............in Kirkuk, fags
113. SGM details......................IN IRAQ!!!
114. (Date unknown) they PULLED you off of mission, JUST SO YOU COULD DO SGM DETAIL, BECAUSE APPARENTLY THATS MORE VITAL THAN DOING A FUCKING MISSION IN GODDAMN IRAQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
115. For a little bit there ole Krispy Kreme made us turn in all our machine guns after missions just to make us draw them out before missions. TURN IN OUR MACHINE GUNS IN IRAQ, this sack of shit CLAIMS hes been here before!!!!
116. Ole Krispy Kreme told us we weren't allowed to have our shotguns on us at chow, it had to be M4s..........yet,................I NEVER ONCE SEEM THAT LARD ASS WITH AN M4, HIS LAZY SACK OF SHIT ASS ALWAYS HAD A PUSSY 9mil,...........i hope his wife is getting railed out too
117. SFC King smoked you cuz he wanted you in the right frame of mind for when you smoked PVT Bergeron...................who wasn't your soldier........congratulations SFC, you made the list
118. For a while there (and I blame SFC King for this as well) they kept puttin dumbasses in charge of you WHO'VE NEVER BEEN TO IRAQ.......thats twice
119. At WLC all your buddies ditched you and left you to be the only 11B in your class
120. Then you had to ENDURE POGs talk about how hard their jobs are because you're not allowed to speak your mind in WLC. The worst were the MPs (the women's Infantry)
121. A woman you knew kept arguing with you that her FAG (field artillery guy) husband WASN'T a POG, why, cuz he was in the 4th INFANTRY Division, congratulations Christina you made the list
122. Stripe chasers, women who know more about the Army than you do and try to trap you, congratulations..........too many fucking names to list, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE
123. You have Battalion formations ALLLLLLLLLL the fucking time, I mean, WTF
124. You lent out your copy of "I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell" to 2nd PLT and never got it back, still FUCKING pissed about that.
125. Iraqi kids, those ugly annoying little fucks
126. Iraqi dogs those loud annoying little fucks
127. Right now you're wearing a "combat" shirt that says ARMY STRONG, so gay
128. The only women in Iraq are too young, too old, or Army TLDs
129. In 1-22IN you got called in ONCE on a weekend, and it was cuz Ft Hood was ON FIRE, in 1-67AR you get called in if Krispy Kreme doesn't get the right assortment of Krispy Kremes!
130. POGs who have to do patrols and somehow get it in their USELESS FUCKING heads that they're as hardcore as the Infantry
131. Ft Benning, GA was once known as "The Home of the Infantry", now tankers have POLLUTED that Holy Land
132. You're allowed to have cell phones in basic training now
133. If you were to stay in and one day become a Drill Sergeant, theres a STRONG possiblity that you would have to train POGs
134. PUSSIES like PVTs Mahaffey, McCall, Traylor, Howell, Rodhammel, Ryan, and Rice some FUCKING way slip through the cracks and GRADUATE basic training,........
135. SHITBAGS LIKE THOSE ASSHOLES ARE S T I L L FLOWING IN
136. Pussies who kill themselves and cause you to go to "Suicide Prevention" classes,........which I just wish LUCKY would do, the class would be worth it
137. Pussies who've been to Iraq before, leave the new guys to the wolves, and pull some BULLSHIT outta their ass like PTSD just so they dont have to come back........I MAN-NED THE FUCK UP BITCH, WHEN ARE YOU GONNA?!
138. Waiting for HOURS on end for those SHITBAG EOD queers, YEAH, not gonna miss that
139. Babysitting PUSSIES like Ryan and Rodhammel who are always tryin to "kill" themselves. They didn't succeed either cuz they're too weak or too stupid, JUST FUCKING DO IT, ILL GO TO THE FUCKING CLASSES, F U C K I N G DO YOU PUSSIES!!!!
140. Iraqi bugs are just like Lucky, they're all havin ROID RAGE,
141. 1st Field exercise with SFC King (3 times) he made you dig a hole with your E tool in full battle rattle and while did nothing but talk complete S H I T about the Dallas Cowboys!
142. You've been smoked more as an E5 than you ever were as a Private...............thats twice Dubs
143. SSG Wentworth's version of monthly counselings......THEY'RE NEVER GOOD ENOUGH!!!! UGH!!!! 3 TIMES!!!!!
144. You hear the word "Reenlist" about 300 times a day just because you're the only one who's managed to stick to your guns!!! I'VE DUG MY TRENCHES AND I'M NOT BUDGING!!!
145. The Infantry has turned you pretty gay since theres NO women around, if you're an 11B you get it.
146. SFC King gave Cobb your team and made you his gunner, which made you proud of Cobb...............at first, then you spent the entire FUCKING day in the motor pool because of those SHITBAG mechanics
147. Someone finally had the balls to stand up to Lucky and THREATENED his life (thats GANGSTA) so they fired him and he has to be escorted wherever he goes
148. SFC King made you his gunner JUST for him to leave, and leave you with someone who is the very REASON why no one respects the Army and why everyone THINKS the Marine Corps is hardcore, they've got just as many POGS AS WE DO, THEY AINT FUCKING SPECIAL!!!!
149. Whether or not you get out, everyone that you've sucked with in the extreme heat, in the extreme cold, in extreme stressful conditions cuz of DICKHEADS like LUCKY and KRISPY KREME, everyone always disperses. Guys will get out, guys will PCS, THE guys are always separated no way around it
150. EVERYONE AND THEIR FUCKIN MAMA KEEPS SAYIN THAT YOU'LL BE BACK, THAT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO HANDLE CIVILIAN LIFE AND YOU'LL JUST CRAWL RIGHT BACK.............F U C K T H A T ! ! ! YOU'RE GOING TO MOTHERFUCKING PROVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now thats pretty much it, ummmm, theres SHITLOAD more reasons too like Krispy Kremes FAGGOT letters that come out every now and then about how Smoking (punishing someone with exercises like pushups) is wrong and hazing and "unauthorize". But the last time I checked, the I in 4ID stood for FUCKING I N F A N T R Y, SO THAT FAT FUCK IS ATTACHED TO ME!!! NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND, EAT SHIT AND DIE ALREADY!!! I'M ON MY WAY RIGHT THE FUCK NOW TO GO SMOKE SOME PRIVATES, BITCH!!!! Theres a pretty good chance that I've offended you the reader cuz I guess I have one of those types of personalities, so all I can say to that is,.........MAN THE FUCK UP OR SHUT THE FUCK UP, BELIEVE IT OR NOT I TONED IT DOWN AND YOU SHOULD BE THANKING ME!!! GO KILL YOURSELF........nuff said
