STORY DIME: MY dorm chief snitched on me, the 3rd tallest element leader
So a little background knowledge; for those of you that haven't been through the revamped indoctrination into the air force, I will be the first to suprise you and say you lucked out. Our bootcamp, also known as basic military training, is the hardest that I've ever heard it to be. We're talking kitchen duty, gas chamber, standing outside in the hot san antonio heat. We didn't have hot water for the first two weeks, but it got fixed a day after someone (2nd tallest element leader) got the balls to ask the MTI about it. There is a guy in charge of the flight when your drill instructor isn't around, called dorm chief. The dorm chief gets the inside scoop from the squadron commander, he gives a daily report to a mother-fuckin-master sargeant ( IM TALKIN ABOUT INVERTED STRIPES HERE). Anyway. This was around week 4, only one more week till graduation.
We came back from a particularly ruthless day of KP. Half our team was sent home early, and the rest had to stay and clean faster and harder. First person to get sent home was some jerkoff who couldn't remember our MTI's name, and hoped that by just walking away from the KP police he could avoid getting a 341 pulled. He needed 3 other trainees to escort him, so we were down 4 people.
We got back around, im not kidding, ten oh fucking three. yup. half an hour and three minutes past mandatory bedtime
now our dormchief was being a real trooper thru it all, not complaining or any bullshit we hop in the showers and he says "no ur not doing that" 'but im sweaty sir' "it is bedtime and i will be damned if anyone fucks with my sleep" 'we will stop singing' "no go to bed"
so we hopped out of the showers, our soapy booties flapping in the wind and leaving so much debris for night CQ to annotate in the log (remember this as it is damning evidence that I didn't 'follow orders of a superior')
i apologize personally to the dorm chief for not asking him if we could shower before showering, and slip him 2 protein bars.
Now normally, you can only have 1 protein bar at a time and if it is not eaten by 8:00 then that is an automatic 341. We were given the hookup by KP Police for doing a good job despite the 4 runaways. He set out a box of 24, said "i won't expect any leftovers" and the 8 of us divided them equally acording to rank (i got 6 because I was 3rd tallest element leader, chow runner got 4, the remaining 14 were split between the 6).
Now morning comes, we go to PT, and I see dorm chief talking to the drill trainer and he says my name loud enough for my situational awareness ears to pick up
about 40 minutes after we get back from pt we are told "GO TO YOUR LOCKERS" 6 drill master trainers come in, start asking everybody questions.
I forget a reporting statement, so they say that is "probable cause" to search my wall locker. They open it up and see around 8 protein bars (I would always guilt my bedmate to giving me his because i was bigger and needed more cals). I get washed back a week, and thats when I learned never to get kickbacks to your supervision and never trust nobody.
