Subject: 12 Step Program for the Military
    11/6/2005 8:47:49 PM


1. I am  in the military , I have a problem. This is the first step to

recovery...

2. Speech:
  • Time should never begin with a zero or end
    in a hundred, it is not 0530or 1400 it is 5:30 in the morning (AKA
    God-awful early).
  • Words like deck, rack, and "PT" will get you weird looks;
    floor, bed, workout, get used to it.
  • "F *ck" cannot be used to -replace
    whatever word you can't think of right now, try "um".
  • Grunting is not
    talking.
  • It's a phone, not a radio, conversations on a phone do not end in
    "out"
  • People will not know what you are talking about if you tell them you are coming from Camp Lejeune with the MWSS platoon or that you spent a deployment in the OCAC

3. Style:
  • Do not put creases in your
    jeans.
  • Do not put creases on the front of your dress shirts.
  • A horseshoe
    cut looks dumb, not motivating.
  • A high and tight looks really dumb as
    well.
  • So does a low reg, but not as bad.
  • A hat indoors does not make you
    a bad person, it makes you like the rest of the world.
  • you do not have
    to wear a belt ALL the time.

4. Women:
  • Air Force girls are easy, very
    easy, not all women are this easy and will probably punch you in the nuts if
    you treat them like Air Force girls.
  • Being divorced twice by the time you
    are 23 is not normal, neither are 6 month marriages, even if it is your
    first.
  • Marrying a girl so that you can move out of the barracks does not make "financial sense", it makes you a retard.

5. Personal
accomplishments:
  • In the real world, being able to do pushups will not make
    you good at your job.
  • Most people will be slightly disturbed by you if
    you tell them about people you have killed or seen die.
  • How much pain
    you can take is not a personal accomplishment.
  • The time you got really drunk
    and passed the sobriety test anyway is also not a personal
    accomplishment.

6. Drinking:
  • In the real world, being drunk before
    5pm will get you an intervention, not a "good for you"
  • That time you
    drank a 5th of Jaeger and pissed in your closet is not a conversation
    starter.
  • That time you went to the combat life saver school and practiced
    giving vodka iv's will also not be a good conversation starter

6.
Bodily functions:
  • Farting on your co-workers and then giggling while you run
    away may be viewed as "unprofessional".
  • The size of the dump you took
    yesterday will not be funny no matter how big it was, how much it burned, or
    how much it smelled.
  • You can't make fun of someone for being sick, no matter
    how funny it is
  • VD will also not be funny

7. The human
body:
  • Most people will not want to hear about your balls. Odd as that may seem, it's true.

8. Spending habits:
  • One day, you will have to
    pay bills
  • Buying a $30,000 car on a $16,000 a year salary is a really bad
    idea.
  • Spending money on video games instead of on diapers makes you a
    fool.
  • One day you will need health insurance

9. Interacting with
civilians (AKA YOU):
  • Making fun of your neighbor to his face for being fat
    will not be normal.

10. Real jobs:
  • They really can fire you.
  • On
    the flip side you really can quit.
  • Screaming at the people that work for you
    will not be normal, remember they really can quit too.
  • Taking naps at
    work will not be acceptable.
  • Remember 9-5 not 0530 to 1800

11. The
Law:
  • Non-judicial punishment does not exist and will not save you from
    prison.
  • Your workplace unlike your command can't save you and probably
    won't,in fact most likely you will fired about 5 minutes after they find
    out you've been arrested
  • Even McDonalds does background checks, and
    "conviction" isn't going to help you get the job
  • Fighting is not a
    normal thing and will get you really arrested, not yelled at Monday morning
    before they ask you if you won.

12. General knowledge:
  • You can in
    fact really say what you think about the President in public.
  • Pain is not
    weakness leaving the body, it's just pain.
  • They won't wear anything shiny
    that tells you they are more important then you are, be polite.
  • Read the
    contracts before you sign them, remember what happened the first time.
