Enlisted [chat]iants

QuidQuid Definitely not a bananaRegistered User regular
The military has two rank structures, enlisted and officer. Officer requires a degree, enlisted doesn't. Officer gets higher status overall because classism.

Back in 2021 a Navy officer had concerns about sharing military apartments with enlisted personnel. In a letter to the base commander he wrote:

"There is a lot of crime, violent actions, drug use and alcoholism that happens in enlisted housing. There are also sexual assaults and perverts. I personally had to deal with an enlisted child molester as my subordinate. There are often drunk and often hostile sailors hanging around enlisted housing."

"Officers are much more respectable and theses(sic) type of deviant activities are incredibly rare compared to deviant activities of enlisted being common place."

"A few tours ago, an enlisted housing unit had two gangs attacking each other with hatchets and other weapons over competing drug turf."

Among other gems.

Since then hatchets and the phrase "Deviant enlisted" have become a popular part of enlisted subculture.

    I have been on trains all day. Including a stop at a train station at the very bottom of Bavaria that had extreme The Hills Have Eyes vibes. I guess scary hill people can be anywhere in the world. Could not understand even 1% of the dialect they spoke.

    So they're saying the officers are Eternals?

    Which rank gets the laser eyes?

    Dunno, all I have are my hatchets from the Meth War.

    I notice that you don't say anything about the truth of whether or not hatchet gangs were or were not rife in enlisted housing

    Kind of sad that he got widely mocked for what is well-known about our military and the conditions on bases.

  • japanjapan Registered User regular
    I always presumed that a military command would be likely to investigate a sudden rash of hatchet injuries

    If only from the perspective of preserving an adequate number of people in fighting condition

    Who do you think is fulfilling orders for these hatchets?

    This goes to the top

    I saw one on TikTok the other day: what's your equivalent of the Army's E-4 Mafia

    i.e. the highest non-NCO enlisted

    Apparently Marine NCOs begin at E-4 so theirs is their E-3 Terminal Lance folks
