@@NarpytheCrimeDog You're supposed to be familiar with the responsibilities of two ranks above and one under and I say "supposed to know" very loosely.
Furthermore, what’s on your chest shouldn’t define your military service. There are many people out there that have done way more with fewer ribbons on their chest. IMO, ribbons don’t mean a damn thing. If you’re the type to chase ribbons. Go for it. But I suggest you go out there everyday, honor your oath, and be the best Soldier, Sailor, Marine or Airman you can be.

That shit don't exist/ don't happen in the navy, if you don't promote you get kicked out, high year tenure. We don't want any long term juinor shitbags.

I disagree😊 wasn't in the Army but at jump school these Army enlisted was a Samoan and hardly spoke English yet he was a E4. In my platoon we had a Filipino that was the same and he was a hard charger so yes every branch has some, Infantry 0311 USMC 3/7
I once met a guy that was a Vietnam veteran. He had told me he was able to get Sergeant within two years. I was like wow, I was in the Army for four years and only made it to Specialist. I told him he must've been a very sharp person. But he said, nah, that's not what happened. What happened was that his Sergeant got killed so they had to push someone up the ranks to fill the open spot. I was like daMn! His way of being humble.
The Vietnam days were very different in promoting people because Soldier were dying left and right. Sad history of our time. Those Soldiers were hard to the corp in my opinion because your life expectancy was not long at all! Bless all those who served there!!
you can still make SGT in 2 years today if you enlist as a SPC and are in a high demand MOS or one where they promote everybody because they want to retain you like intel or cyber where the Army knows that they could lose you to some civilian job where you'd make double so the best the Army can do is just automatic promote people, even below zone up to SSG so as long as you're competent and offer you gucci duty locations like Germany or bonuses. I don't really like it too much because how can somebody be a good SGT with just two years in service which is why the old WW2/Korea system of E4-E9 SPC grades works better imo. Yeah, you get to retain people by giving them a higher paygrade because of their high technical jobs but they aren't expected to be leaders/NCOs.
@@adamc6371 lol, how do you enlist as a specialist? I did not know that was an option. Ah, I did my four. Too old to rejoin now. Wouldn't even if I could.
I remember in A school for the Navy. First weekend that we got full liberty. As in civilian clothes, no curfew, just be back Monday morning. That Monday morning we had muster, standing in formation. Looked like a damn wheat field in the wind.
@@fracturedframe1462 I remember when I was a let 1 and for the first inspection we had nat guard guys come check us out, I accidentally called a chick sir😂
I was on the board and one of the female let 1s came in, and we asked her to name every branch of the military and strait faced she look at us and said "marine crops". I asked her what kind of vegetables they grew and everyone on the board nearly died trying not to laugh the look of disappointment on my 1Sgt's face was priceless
better than those fat soldiers, army is about in and out experience you know. Can't be all chubby and claim you know what you're doing and combating terrorism and ISIS
the 1SG in this Video is way nicer then any of the 1SG i know when i went to the board lmao they would of chowed my ass out for showing up like that lmao
According to Drew Hernandez, the NCO creed is: "Heeeeeeeeh, heeeeeeeeh. I am a non-comiss-, I am a-. I am a non-commissioned officer, a warrior and a leader of my team. I serve, serve, the people of the United States and I live the army values. I swear to protect the constitution from foreign and domestic. Pledge allegiance to the United States, to the government". 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I honestly don't know how they were even able to film this. The moment he stepped onto screen and I looked at his uniform I started dying of laughter. I had to pause it like 17 times. Hahahaha. Oh my god his beret is so small. And look at his stupid tie lmfao!
I remember my first soldier of the month board. I was so nervous I forgot my own name. CSM laughed so hard. After we all had a good laugh, I was more relaxed
that means you werent observing your arcs. the trick is to be far enough away and holding a clip board so that you can reply something inchorent gesture to the clip board and scurry away.
All right, so this has been their best video to date. In the past few months the quality of humor has increased. Now we're at Space Force level, of quality of service, quality service to Country. Country of us, US. I have the Space Force Jedi tab, with qualifications in space demolitions, Space Force SERE School, alien interrogation, and attained Space Force Arctic tab.
I’m a terminal lance almost 2 years now. If they ever tell me to go on a board I’m going in and saying I want to be promoted to specialist. First Sgt will probably throw me out on my ass
Ahhh the infamous overturned chair. Had that shit at my very first soldier of the month board, thankfully I had been warned about it by my team leader.
@@Lera_Vale Basically to see if the soldier has the initiative to fix the chair in front of the board before attempting to sit. Seems stupid, but you will legit have dumbasses who will try to sit in the chair as is.
justaname onyourscreen like got fat and got kicked out? That’s what I’m assuming. You could have just failed fitness tests until you got flagged and discharged for that. Ima be honest with you, the army isn’t my cup of tea. Unless we go to war with Iran, my motivation isn’t what it used to be.
@@HateTheIRS only way to still get an honorable discharge under the circumstances...lost the weight when I got out...I did my time, I was done with it...
I was taking one of my Joes to the SOM board and noticed that one of the other Joes had his US and branch insignia on backwards. I notified his NCO and right THEN he was called to go in. Tragic.
So hilarious and the laughter is contagious!! 😂 If I was sitting in a quiet waiting room somewhere and watched this video, there is no way I could keep a straight face and keep quiet!!!! 🤣 It reminds me of the day many years ago; my youngest son was with me at an appointment and we were sitting in the waiting room. All it took was when we started to hear the explosions behind the building and we just looked at each other and literally laughed out loud!! (They were clearing out land to build)
Now I want to see a p-board, where they try to finesse around every question to get it right and even though they answered it wrong because of their confidence. It's Right!!!
I was iN Afghanistan when i went to the board. Crushed it. Sergeant Major asked what i wanted to do with my career, i said i wanted to get out. He was like, well theirs the door, get out. Lmao.
Your depiction of a lost in the sauce junior enlisted man is spot on. Had a kid named Kozier who did just this. Instead of a promotion board it was an Article 15 hearing
You guys are the best. Thank you to all who served. I was in the Air Force many years ago. (Or Chair Force as my son calls it). You should get some AF guys in to do one of these. Lol.
Actually I've never seen anyone wear a Schützenschnur, that thing he has on his right shoulder, in silver. In Germany you either make gold or you don't wear it.
might be satire for us kind of older guys but from what ive seen this is about the quality of soldiers recruiters and ds's are sending to units now lol
OMG this is so true! Even in the AF we have Airmen like this, it makes you want to bang your head on the desk or wall! Facing movements, chair, uniform a mess and not able to stay still or know their stuff for a test though they knew it was coming up.... 🤦♀️
Remind me of interview I had for a security specialist position with Fulton County PD while I was working as a contract security sergeant., the head of the interview committee was the director of building security Services for Fulton County PD at the time was also the deputy Provost Marshal at Fort McPherson as a reservist. Never been so nervous in an interview in my life I gave it my best shot when I got my results back I placed 8 out of 34 and they were taking the top six evaluation scores as selection. Close but no cigar but I'm still proud of what I did. And always will be. You hit what it feels like to be in a situation like that either civilian or military dead center. I can laugh about it now but at the time I was trying not to be sick
Non US here: What is the story with the ribons/awards? Are those your basic "survived bootcamp" award or are they actually telling an exeptional story?
everyone gets 2 ribbons when they graduate. everything else beyond that shows that you or your unit accomplished something telling a story of what you’ve done and where you’ve gone.
japonte173 most of them are standard . He’s got the Good Conduct medal for not getting caught for 3 years, The National Defense medal ( the McDonalds ribbon ) , Iraq Campaign Medal for serving in Iraq with one service star , the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal which is also a more or less guaranteed medal , NCO professional development ribbon for completing the Basic Leaders Course necessary for promotion to NCO , the Army Service ribbon for completing basic and the overseas service ribbon for well going overseas . He also has the CAB ( Combat Action Badge ) which officials denotes he saw combat but in reality can be awarded for fairly lame reasons .
Harsh Bansal i know most ribbons don’t mean you were a war hero or did something really cool, but aside from the ones you get just for graduating basic, they mean you or your unit did something.
@@hmoobmeeka I highly doubt a Private E-2 could gain that many ribbons in the average length of time it takes to get from an E-1 to an E-3 or even E-4 for that matter. So likely he's playing as a Sergeant or Staff Sergeant who just happened to have the wrong rank insignia on some how.
@@TheOldKevin I didn't need any soldier of the month board's before I went to the promotion board. Points nearly maxed on ARCOM's alone. Really squared away soldiers don't worry about AAM's. It's ARCOM or nothing. Maxed my PT test and aced the promotion board. I just scanned through the board study guide and was gtg. Aside from promotion board's the only other board that matters is the Audie Murphy board. But that's not the point. Point is he must have shown up in the wrong person's uniform because a private doesn't get asked to recite the NCO creed for any board.
I've watched this video so many time, it is literally the funniest video I've seen in a long time. I suffer from PTSD and it's extremely hard for me to show emotions. This video has helped my PTSD greatly. Thanks "A Combat Veteran" I also like how the 1SG doesn't correct him for calling me a Sargent instead of 1SG. #didiwin

Listen, the point of the chair is to see if you can use the tools given to you correctly for success and to judge your ability to adapt.
I’m glad you asked, cause i was just wracking my brain to decide the right move there.
I find it funny that the bloopers make up more of the video then the skit XD
212th MP Co. Kitzagen Germany 91-93. Same unit patch. Love you guys very funny and relatable. Good times
might be satire for us kind of older guys but from what ive seen this is about the quality of soldiers recruiters and ds's are sending to units now lol
I didn’t do all of this, but I did try to sit sideways in the chair once.
Negatiiiveee
Is that a german Schützenschnurr on his right shoulder?
Yes😂😂😂
OMG this is so true! Even in the AF we have Airmen like this, it makes you want to bang your head on the desk or wall! Facing movements, chair, uniform a mess and not able to stay still or know their stuff for a test though they knew it was coming up.... 🤦♀️
Remind me of interview I had for a security specialist position with Fulton County PD while I was working as a contract security sergeant., the head of the interview committee was the director of building security Services for Fulton County PD at the time was also the deputy Provost Marshal at Fort McPherson as a reservist. Never been so nervous in an interview in my life I gave it my best shot when I got my results back I placed 8 out of 34 and they were taking the top six evaluation scores as selection. Close but no cigar but I'm still proud of what I did. And always will be. You hit what it feels like to be in a situation like that either civilian or military dead center. I can laugh about it now but at the time I was trying not to be sick
Non US here: What is the story with the ribons/awards? Are those your basic "survived bootcamp" award or are they actually telling an exeptional story?
everyone gets 2 ribbons when they graduate. everything else beyond that shows that you or your unit accomplished something telling a story of what you’ve done and where you’ve gone.
The unit citations are above his nameplate.
japonte173 most of them are standard . He’s got the Good Conduct medal for not getting caught for 3 years, The National Defense medal ( the McDonalds ribbon ) , Iraq Campaign Medal for serving in Iraq with one service star , the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal which is also a more or less guaranteed medal , NCO professional development ribbon for completing the Basic Leaders Course necessary for promotion to NCO , the Army Service ribbon for completing basic and the overseas service ribbon for well going overseas . He also has the CAB ( Combat Action Badge ) which officials denotes he saw combat but in reality can be awarded for fairly lame reasons .
Harsh Bansal i know most ribbons don’t mean you were a war hero or did something really cool, but aside from the ones you get just for graduating basic, they mean you or your unit did something.
japonte173 I get you dude but in his case all are essentially standard apart from the ICM and NCO professional development course ribbon .
This hurts to watch
I was an E-5 in the Army myself. That being said, I was STILL E-4 Mafia at heart. “Hey where’s SGT P?” “I think he’s at an appointment 1SG”. 🤣🤣
This have me LMAO that tie though.
Righht😂
Why is a private going to the board??? 🤔
Because he has the wrong rank insignia on.
Could be soldier of the month board
Maybe he was a Specialist who got demoted after his 45 days of extra duty
@@hmoobmeeka I highly doubt a Private E-2 could gain that many ribbons in the average length of time it takes to get from an E-1 to an E-3 or even E-4 for that matter. So likely he's playing as a Sergeant or Staff Sergeant who just happened to have the wrong rank insignia on some how.
@@TheOldKevin I didn't need any soldier of the month board's before I went to the promotion board. Points nearly maxed on ARCOM's alone. Really squared away soldiers don't worry about AAM's. It's ARCOM or nothing. Maxed my PT test and aced the promotion board. I just scanned through the board study guide and was gtg. Aside from promotion board's the only other board that matters is the Audie Murphy board. But that's not the point. Point is he must have shown up in the wrong person's uniform because a private doesn't get asked to recite the NCO creed for any board.
I don't understand. He's was on a whole deployment with a CAB... How is he an E-2?
Demoted
The chair on the floor is too accurate 😂😂
I've watched this video so many time, it is literally the funniest video I've seen in a long time. I suffer from PTSD and it's extremely hard for me to show emotions. This video has helped my PTSD greatly. Thanks "A Combat Veteran" I also like how the 1SG doesn't correct him for calling me a Sargent instead of 1SG. #didiwin
