Not actually in the army, but one of my squad leaders' wives thought whichever way she was facing was North. Like driving down the road, I'm headed north, make a right turn still heading north.

He thought it was a cute quirk and everyone else was just like...uh yah man maybe don't have kids.

Dude literally commanded the units doing most of the killing and none of the COIN and this dork calls him a soup kitchen general.

We get real snow here like once every couple of years and I have no where to store it.

This year (week?) is just an obnoxious anomaly
