Additionally, this is the kind of story that damn near everyone who has served in FORSCOM, nay, the entire Army, has experienced. I am about to tell you the tale of an entire company hunting for one single item on a hand receipt. Specifically, a KGV-72. Which is a Sensitive Item (SI). I can feel many souls flinching at...

My first box of doorknobs
Posted on
I started my military career in June of <garbled> on Sand Hill at Fort Benning. I can still tell you the unit I was in for Infantry OSUT (One Station Unit Training), and the names of my Drill Sergeants . . . this knowledge is embedded in my DNA, it's like a cheap tattoo etched inside my eyelids.

If I "got help", I would've been a victim to the system and be passed around from institution to institution. I would've...
