What is OPSEC?

OPSEC stands for "OPerational SECurity". If you haven't heard, there are people on base that are saying and posting stuff on the internet and Facebook that they SHOULD NOT. How the hell can some people not understand how important this is? It still amazes me how stupid some people can be.  Why the fuck would you say anything!

I'll tell you why. Because people get off by thinking they're the first at anything, especially news and/or gossip/secrets. I don't know why that is, but think about. When someone tells you something gossipy, look at their face and watch how it glows and lights up.

And if your spouse is a nosey, mouthy little bitch (why are you married to them in the first place?), then on top of that why would you tell them ANYTHING? People talk, but spouses talk more. Don't tell them shit because they have nothing better to do with each other then gossip and then post it on their favorite past time, God Damn Facebook. Spouses, get a fucking life and stop being so pathetic. This goes for Enlisted AND Officer spouses. Shut the fuck up!

To the ones that spilled everything:
I hope you fucked up your Military member's career and they divorce your fucking dumb ass. Then what are you going to do? It'll be hard to find someone else to LEECH off of. I hope you don't find anyone and have to live on the streets and then you'll have to use your mouth for something else.

If you guys can't tell, this pisses me off! Shut the fuck up people!

I'm going to keep this one short because it's something that we shouldn't have to talk about anyway.

There are people's lives at stake so.....

KEEP YOUR GOD DAMN MOUTH SHUT!!!!!!

I hate you AAFES.....

Yeah, I said it.....I hate you AAFES. Why? Sigh...oh let me count the ways. I've always hated AAFES, from the very beginning of my career. Why would anyone go to the BX/PX when there's a Walmart right around the corner? And I don't care what base you're at, there is a Walmart right around the corner. The BX/PX charges how much more for the same thing? Yeah, that makes sense. But the crazy thing is, people buy stuff there all the time! And I'm still talking about the States here, not even in an Overseas location where you really have no choice (hang on, I'll get to that in a minute). I have to admit it, I have purchased a couple of things in a BX/PX in the States, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was or why.

The question is, why? Why do we do that to ourselves when a completely sensible and cheaper alternative is out there and it's not even that far away? Can anyone please answer that for me?

The next question is why ARE they so expensive? The only thing I can come up with is in correlation with the above comments. Because WE shop there. Why should they make it cheaper when we buy from there at their prices. That doesn't excuse the fact that they should be helping out the Military members rather than screw them out of more money.

Now come to the Shopette which is AAFES as everyone knows. I went to get some gas the last week when low and behold, they where out of Mid-grade gas! So guess what? I HAD to get the more expensive gas because I had no other choice! It's not my fault they didn't have the Mid-grade gas, but I was the one who had to suffer. It's never the big businesses that suffer because they'll always stick it to the little guy, the consumer, before they'll even think about taking a hit. OK, so I go to get gas again the other day, which shouldn't be a problem because I saw the Mid-grade truck filling the gas pumps the day before, but nooooooo! The fucking Mid-grade pumps weren't working! So guess who got fucked at the pump and had to get the more expensive gas....again! This is getting pretty damn ridiculous! How do we know they're not just trying to offload some more expensive product because they can get away with it? I mean are we really going to go somewhere else to get gas? No! It's even more expensive everywhere else!

Like I said.......I hate you AAFES.


I'll do another post about how I hate the Commissary some other time.

WTF Spangdahlm

Did you notice how I went back to the acronym? Things might have been overblown a bit and this hopefully will teach everyone (including myself) to verify things BEFORE posting and/or spreading RUMORS. I'm glad I didn't give specifics, because apparently it would have been wrong.

There was talk from many sources that the Mid-grade gas was being REPLACED by the new E-10, so we would only have E-10 and the Super-grade. I have talked with the Shoppette and they've confirmed that they will have three different types: Mid-grade, Super-grade and E-10. I was told that the Mid-grade shipment was late, but everything's good now.

Some of the things that I've been reading about this E-10 stuff says that it's better for the environment, but degrades your MPG. Check the link:

Why would we want to purchase this crap? Yeah, the price might be a little lower, but with the worse MPG you'll be filling up more and then paying more.

Again, sorry for worrying all 30 of you that saw that last post.

WHAT THE FUCK SPANGDAHLEM?!

Disclaimer: Strong language below

No, I'm not just spelling out the WTF part and saying what's up in the title. I have just found out some very excruciatingly fucked up information that has to do with this fucked up place called Germany and Spangdahlem AB. I had no real problems with this place, just your normal shit that happens all the time everywhere. But now I'm done with this place! Some of you may already know what I'm talking about because it effects EVERYONE! There is absolutely no way that this will not effect you if you are military.

I'm getting some more info put together and I will post again within the next couple of days.

FUCK!!

Military Spouses Part II: Enlisted Spouses

OK, the following is a "simulation" of how the majority of Enlisted spouses' days start.

Get up and log on to Facebook and straight to status update:

10:03am - Just got up. Ugh I hate getting up this early, 10:00 comes WAY too soon!
10:15am - Eating Trix cereal. WAY yum!!
10:29am - Getting ready for a shower. I'm really excited for it!
10:56am - That shower was really good.
11:23am - OMG! Just saw the funniest thing on Youtube!
12:20pm - On my way for lunch with my girls! OMG, it's going to be soooo much fun.
2:18pm - Just got done with my lunch with my girls. They are the greatest! I love them all!

I think you can see how this whole thing is going. If they have kids, I've still seen it very similar to this, just add a "my kid did this" comment in there somewhere. But mostly it's them ignoring their kids, or how stupid their kids are. They don't even realize they're making their kids out to be as stupid as they are.

Go get a job, go to school, play with your kid(s), cook a home made meal, clean the house, VOLUNTEER, etc.. There are so many ways to be productive and and not be a leach anymore.

Now, this isn't all enlisted spouses, but the majority that I see and hear about. I understand that they're very young these days (lame excuse, I know), but like I said in another post, we're not in High School anymore!

As for the older enlisted spouses.... I've seen WAY too many doing the same damn thing! Are you fucking kidding me?! That's just ridiculous, you went to high school how many years ago and you're still acting this way? If you're the spouse of a TSgt or higher you SHOULD NOT be hanging out with a SrA and below; spouse or member! But I guess now they're the perceived popular one that they never were in high school, so they're hanging on with everything that they've got.

There's definitely a body type difference between the younger and older spouses as well. Hint for the younger ones: work out so you don't look like the older ones do now. I've never seen so many Tele-tubbies around one place before. Well, maybe that's not true. Americans are just fat anyway, and we are an American base. You go downtown, how many fatties do you see (guy or girl)? Hardly any!

Tip for ALL Americans, guys and girls:

STOP EATING SO DAMN MUCH!!

It's that simple!

But make sure you update your Facebook status with WHATEVER YOU DO........ cause we love that.....

PT test

Here's my take on the "New" PT test. First, it's not new you retards! There are some things that have changed a little, but IT'S EASIER! So you have minimums that you have to get to. So what. You can't make those minimums? Get the fuck out because you are not even trying or just don't give a shit! The only thing that I have any reservations about is the waist measurement. Because there's some big guys out there that I would rather be next to when the shit hits the fan in some God awful country instead of some puny little 100-150lbs boy or girl that got over a 90 because they have tiny waists and can't pull my or someone else's ass out of a burning vehicle or over to some cover. I'll take that so called "fat" guy that can drag me while at the same time shooting at the bad guys. I think we should go with a more combat like PT test like the Marines...and I'm not the only one.

I read this when it came out and I still think it's a great idea. Please, someone start this on base so we can all try it. We are suppose to be "joint" fighters, right?

Million Dollars my ass!

You really think this is gonna be good?

OK, so we (Spangdahlem) got the Million dollars, now what? This is where we get excited and watch everything turn to complete shit! What I mean by that is that one of two things will happen.

1. We will see nothing happen because everyone will be fighting over what to spend it on. And this is where the "who's dick is bigger" match starts. Every big wig on base, every one who "thinks" that they're a big wig, everyone who has a connection and then everyone who "thinks" they have a connection start throwing out anything and everything just to benefit them and their group, squadron, flight, etc... so they can be perceived as the best. It's all about public perception. If it's this option then we won't be seeing anything happen while we're stationed here (even if you just got here), and that's just sad.

2. We'll see some big stuff happen or a bunch of little stuff happen; either way, whatever it is will be utter shit. It won't benefit the masses, just the minority, which will be the big wigs and such (see 1. above).

At least half of the ideas that I've heard suck so much donkey balls that the girls in Tijuana are jealous!

If you really think that anything good will happen with this and benefit the mass, then please fill me in. But at this point I'm calling total bullshit on the whole thing!

This one really is worthy of WTF Spangdahlem!!

One more thing....I really thought there'd be more comments on the Military spouse thing. Maybe when I start getting into Enlisted and Officer spouses it will get better. You spouses scared yet?
