Navy Vet Reacts to Anger Management - Campfire Stories by mikeburnfire

Zach later explains that he found the cabinets the Chief took on the firing range... with holes in them. Likely after the Chief realized he couldn't put his parts in them.

[@CinesterCharlie]

Makes me anxious just thinking about it lol.

@@CinesterCharliei heard from someone in a comment on one of his videos *somewhere* that this sergeant was known for basically doing this sort of BS just to flex his rank and eventually got court martialed, so there was a good ending

[@bunga4670]

Is there a video for this explanation?

[@okairo]

@@bunga4670 Sadly no. It was in one of his streams. I imagine if we ask Mike, who then bugs Zach, we can get a campfire story of that. :p

[@EvilWillYT]

You have no idea, how happy this makes me.@@thehoodedteddy1335

[@charliebaker1427]

"you'll just be depressed in japan" theres way too many people who can relate to that sentiment

[@CinesterCharlie]

Yeah, that's true.

The whole "Clementine will remember this" is a reference to The Walking Dead video game. There's a small child character named Clementine. In certain spots throughout the game there will be certain things you'll have to do with making certain decisions. I don't recall if it does it for every thing or for a certain decision you made but it will show Clementine and a text will pop up "Clementine Will Remember That".

Surprisingly, it isn't just the military. Retail and any job involving customer support has this level of incompetence, and it never gets better. Even when you point it out, the higher ups just shrug. Food service, IT, cleaning. Every industry.

[@okairo]

It only gets worse.

[@CinesterCharlie]

Yeah, just apart of life in any industry.

[@CinesterCharlie]

Word.

My Hilton wasn’t. Management was very responsive, regularly consulted with employees, and was often already working to address our issues. One time that stands out to me is when I poked my head into my bosses’ office and told him that the night shift Housepeople could use their own special quieter carts, and he (who had not planned this interaction) spun his computer around and asked for my vote on which of the four he was looking at looked best to me. Sanity and competence do exist. Every other job I’ve held matched your pattern.

[@menderus8801]

This video never fails to get people annoyed/pissed about some cabinets.

[@CinesterCharlie]

I just wanna break cabinets now.

I feel for Zach in this story... I arrive at my third duty station. I am officially the first S6 at an EOD Battalion. I am E-4. Luckily, I had been S6 for an MP Battalion a year before hand and had worked in a normal-ish 6 shop for a year. And when I say I was the S6, I mean I was reporting directly to the XO as the S6 NCOIC. As an E-4. First thing I have to do is handreceipt every piece of signal equipment at the Battalion level from SINCGARS to computers to monitors to stuff I can't even mention because you need a TS Security Clearance for it (which I did not have btw). $6,000,000 worth of equipment. That I am now responsible for... Yay. I checked everything on that damned handreceipt every damned month I was there for 2 years. I only lost 1 item. An old ass CRT monitor that I later found was turned in to DRMO already. So I was able to remove it.

And then chief walked in and looked lustifully at your papers and ye: in his heart was avarice. "Those are some nice papers ya got there, high speed"

[@terencepaul7475]

7:32 I love how you're relating to this story in a deeper way than we expected haha 🤣

[@CinesterCharlie]

Thanks. Appreciate it.

[@reillyroberts5376]

Navy stands for never again volunteer yourself

[@CinesterCharlie]

It sure does lol.

[@comonaocraftar]

I don't think I'll be satisfied, I want MORE!

[@CinesterCharlie]

There probably will be.

[@MaskedSongbird]

I was in ROTC in college, but ultimately didn't end up finishing it because I couldn't juggle it with the technical engineering degree I was doing at the time (among other reasons). Sometimes I think about maybe just joining later in life now that I'm out of college, and every time I see a MikeBurnFire campfire story from Zach, stories like this make me a little happy my life took a different path. I did work as a quality/manufacturing engineer and logistics specialist for a civilian aircraft parts company that was also a major military contractor, though. This story in particular infuriates me so much because the level of bullshit incompetence Zach describes coming from Fort Polk feels just so intimately familiar to me. Turns out the civilian world's not immune to this shit. Who knew?

[@manicnymphomaniac1609]

Dude, your voice is immaculate...

[@CinesterCharlie]

Lol thanks :) I appreciate that. You aren't the only one who has said that.

[@mikeysaab1911]

Awesome reaction dude. Love Mike a Zach videos because they never fail to put a smile on my face. Hope to see more from you in the future and that your anxiety gets better. Good luck and good health to you.

[@CinesterCharlie]

Thanks Mikey. I appreciate it. Yeah, there will be more for sure.

[@JoeXTheXJuggalo1]

I know a few people and friends who join up in various branches. Even though from egat i recall non of them went to Fort Polk but they ALL know the stories from there.

[@EvilWillYT]

I have worked 10 years in Video Game QA/QC and i would have been better served applying my skills to my local branch of the military. Would have much more respect and so much better pay. I do Compliance/Certification work and filling out checklists makes me happy. I also make training material to do my job, i even made a training video on how to make adaptable training videos for any role.

[@CinesterCharlie]

I don't know. You never know until you go into the military how you'll like it. After 6 years I was done lol.

[@terencepaul7475]

10:35 smart man, dont let the intrusive thoughts win hahahaha

[@askamikaze3936]

10:20 Oh man, good for you. I would've go for it lol But yeah smarter thing to do was just GTFO of there
