Well we'll never know for sure one way or the other whether this was a hoax, he or she for that matter could tell us anything now, half of us would believe and half wouldn't. Personally I think this is a classic case of his butthole talking to his underwear.

Don't delete the thread.

Could prove useful if things go sour.

I hope you're alright OP, take care.

I've got the whole thread saved(and I'm sure I'm not the only one). If he deletes his OPs we can just repost them.

Good story, btw.

Vas

I am starting to become worried... "They" want me have a psych review now. I hope they dont give me a lobotomy of sorts. Tomorrow at 0800 I wonder if I should try and blow it off. I have been seeing this thing in my head all day so maybe it would do me some good. Any advice? Oh and I need to know that when I delete this thread, is it within the toc for another member to post a copy of my post because this also has me a bit worried. Please people, respect the fact that I had the balls to tell you all. Dont exploit that please.

This is BS it wont let me edit/delete my post, whats up with that? Please mods put the edit function back on my original post. I am asking nicely please put the edit tool back on the original post.

I just wanted to say thanks for having the balls to post this if it is real. If it is not , it was still fairly good writing. The only thing is, I would be U2Uing some moderators right now it if is true because you need to delete this whole thread asap !
good luck!
and write back what happens at your psych review if you have the guts ! :-p take care

ps yes it very well could be a real story by a marine, because i have friends in the service plus err someone in my family (secret -its the net im not posting personal info) is a retired colonel so i know it takes all types to make up the forces, from drop-outs to geniuses !

I'm not in a position to judge this story either way

and weird s--t happens

but, I know nothing about being in the military - I have no way of telling what's what here

so I have a question about all this -

is it possible the military itself is conducting some sort of psychological test/experiment?

especially pulling someone into this that has a desk job?

Only officers can give 'direct' orders, it's part of the commissioning structure. An NCO can only give 'lawful' not 'direct' orders. His order cannot carry the same weight as an officer's - he could probably send you to the brig anyway, I just thought you'd like to research that point.

I wish to thank Cuhail for once again upholding ATS ethos and giving people a fair go. I for one appreciate your efforts. Although I dont post much I had to come in and say it as it dosnt go unnoticed by the silent majority.


To the resident sceptics, Im old enough and intelligent enough to make up my own mind about someones posts. It gets really old and tiring seeing you all make the same posts over and over again without any active contribution to the board as a whole. What the heck are you all doing a site like this is you find the content hard to swallow. All you do is vomit up muck. You are wasting your life, our time and ATS server space.

I dont care if a tale is true or not. Im here cause I have an appreciation for the worldwide differing opinions and peoples extraordinary experiences. It also gives a facinating glimpse into the human psyche. I like knowing the process on how a person got to those conclusions or experiences.


Whats wrong with letting people have thier own version of thier own reality without your interference. What makes you think your bland boxed in whitebread middle class existance is how everyones reality should be. Guess what....... I dont give a flying flip about your boring life, get over your sheltered egos and start living and contributing.


Perhaps it just comes down to having respect and appreciation for other peoples existances................................





I wish to apologise for the rude behaviour the OP endured, Im glad enough people came on to turn the tide around.



Interesting experience or tale. The military would be better of letting the ocasional oddball leak/tale occur. If they blur the lines enough we become blase about them. Works like the national enquirer, the true leaks get perceived as bollocks.


Assuming the experience is real I would imagine a psych assessment would be on the cards for all lower ranking people involved.
