Alright guys, I will post one at a time... Only one tonite

But this one is very personal to me... well ill post two since the second is short
I am really bad with remembering event names and such because i just do as im told. I think it was the Jr. Endurance course (the one where u do o-course and misc other events and run alot AND climb the huge dirt wall on the rope) ANYWAY, I freakin fly through the ocourse (i swear i had to beat 1:10!!! too bad it wasn't the timed version) Well, the time to get a perfect score (and a favorable chit) was 20 minutes and I REALLY WANTED this. Some back info, I was thrown into OCS 1st Incr when i was scheduled 2nd... and i hadn't really prepared myself yet so i had a little early conditioning issues with being average for the plt when i coulda been top notch... anyway, i am going through the course and I pass several candidates in front of some staff... as im passing one says something like "How the hell is Haynes passing you" to the candidates I am passing... i got a smirk

But to the good part... I come across the finish line and receive my time. I report this to the gunny standing there.
"Good Morning GSgt, Candidate Haynes, Kilo Company 3rd Platoon reporting as ordered" (im sounding off and breathing hard)
"Shut the hell up Haynes, Time?"
"32:25 Gunnery Sgt" (I had a 10 minute buffer or something like that... i wasn't first to go plus I cant remember my finish time, just my COURSE time or 19:20)
"Go away"
"Go away, AYE GSGT, Goodmorning GSGT"
At this point, I had gone from running my balls off to standing still for over a minute (i had to wait for a couple other candidates) and my cantenes were empty! So I go to leave as ordered and I stumble into the clock and knock it off its stand. But I was about to pass out so I wasn't really aware to what i was doin or running into... I manage to make it to the cooldown circle and we are ordered to go run under the showers outside to cool off. I BARELY made it to the circle (i ran as fast as i could there) when, as we are being ordered by a SSgt to cool off I am ordered by a candidate to report to GSGT at the time clock. Well, I'm thinkin "WTF he has my time"... But I run back ACROSS the PT field. I get there and MY PLT Gunny is standing there talkin to the PTI and another SSgt... I do the standard report to my Gunny and the PTI immediately says something like
"Hey candidate, did your dumb grape run into my clock"
"This candidate doesn't know PTI"
"HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW CANDIDATE"
(GSgt taking times) "YES CANDIDATE YOU DID"
"YES PTI, THIS CANDIDATE RAN INTO YOUR CLOCK"
Well I started to show signs of heat exhaustion... apparently waving back and forth and side to side is a sign of nearly passing out. They order me to go cool off... Well, i am relieved and go cool off... I am glad i didn't get the yellow circle

Well later that day I get to speak to the Company GSgt, 1st Sgt (a female that got cuter each week

), Company XO, ect... And each time they asked me how I didn't see it there.. Try telling every company staff member and officer that you didn't see it cuz you were tired and such... Co GSgt made me write and essay, which he collected from me before 0500... He skimmed it, told me not to use such big words in my essays, and threw it away... I was flabergasted

Thats all I heard of that for a few days... I had another occasion after that where someone with a stopwatch said "watch out candidate, I have a stop watch"
Story 2: It was our second libo and 3rd plt was ready to go on Libo... Well, Ssgt wasn't ready for us to go anywhere so he had a candidate open his foot locker and then told him to go get a swab. Well, the candidate did as he was told and returned to a footlocker turned over, foot powder EVERYWHERE, lotion, body soap (liquid), toothpaste, ect in a big nasty pile. So everyone starts to help clean it and the SSgt walks around and repeats at any other open footlockers. Several candidates got their trash thrown everywhere... It wasn't funny at the time, but 3hrs later (when we had cleaned his rampage, twice) everyone chuckled...
SSgt: "Candidate I dont eat that @$#%. It's not good for your body, idiot"
SNC : "Aye SSgt"
SSgt *Eats some McDonalds with a coke"
he was lecturing to the candidate that healthy food is the ONLY option and that he never eats anything other than healthy food... then he bites into a cheesburger...
SSgt: "Does anyone know what a Soapie is"
candidates "No SSgt"
SSgt: "Its when you get a bath in thailand, hell anywhere for that matter, and several women clean you with their soapy bodies"
candidate "Sounds awesome SSgt, but dont you have a wife?"
SSgt: "Do you think she knows what a soapie is, candidate?"
Candidate "No SSgt"
SSgt: "Then lets keep it that way, candidate"
This was after lights out and he had us make a school circle SIMPLY to inform us that he has been to thailand, had a soapie, and felt we should know... haha
Oh lord, OCS rocked! haha... Next stories I tell will involve me at Candidate PLT Sgt and the 1st sgt comment to us (remember she is a female)... ill throw in pugil sticks 1 as well (non wooded engagement)
btw, not to sound stupid... but what the hell does SNC stand for... i heard it all the time at OCS and I even used it in essays. I know it stands in the place of THIS CANDIDATE or CANDIDATE, but no one bothered to inform me of its actual meaning... and I wasn't about to ask EITHER SSgt for the platoon or the gunny... they were all ruthless about stupid questions and usually hazed you for a day or two if you asked them... they said there was no such thing as a stupid question, but that wasn't so true when a candidate asked if we would be given time to do our laundry... they hounded that kid until he left... he showed no motivation EVER and had the equivalent of spaghetti for brains... he wanted to DoR about week 2 but they wouldn't let him... 2 days before Libo they dropped him for all kinds of reasons, it was quite funny... every night he was called into the duty hut and harassed while tryin to sleep... WE even tried to help him get squared away... he just wasn't made for it i guess...
woot, long post... sorry guys
BTW that fire extinguisher thing is danged funny... top of the list right there...
