The only option now is to have 20 women enter a room he’s in but separated by a minute or two each. Just enough time to sit between them.

[–]-The_Credible_Hulk 866 points867 points  (91 children)

We used to do the same thing to officers that threw a fit if you didn’t salute them. Only if you were carrying something or otherwise occupied by a valid reason to give a verbal greeting instead of the salutes that sustain shitty butterbars inflated sense of importance.

Line up as large as is possible a group of the willing, space out 15 meters between each, and pass the officer one at a time. Each one of you only need salute and offer a greeting once. The officer in question is required to do the same for each enlisted that passes them.

If other officers are around, they’re always thoroughly entertained. It usually doesn’t happen to officers that are well liked or respected.

I always found it chuckle-worthy when folks who clearly took the army as a regular job, non-coms, warrant officers, or reg officers who were doctors, mechanics, IT folks, or whatever would be outside their office, get a salute from a grunt, and then absentmindedly sort of flick their fingers in the direction of their head as if to say, "hey man, I just work here."

    My mom worked at a base and processed dd214s. If people were rude to them they’d sit all day long waiting for their paperwork. You want to leave the military? Not for six more hours buddy.

    [–]-The_Credible_Hulk 25 points26 points  (2 children)

    Yeah. Never fuck with personnel, the cooks, or the secretaries. If they like you? They can make your time so much easier and open so many doors. If they hate you? Fuckin eeeeeveryone hates you.

    [–]PacifistPanther85 11 points12 points  (1 child)

    This is similar to education. When I was in school studying to become a teacher, we were always told "The most powerful people in a school aren't admin. It's the custodial workers, maintenance workers, and office workers. Treat them with the same respect you would anyone else but also, multiply it x10"

    [–]total_insertion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    I do IT at a school. We're definitely not the most powerful people, but the teachers that are chill? "I see you put in a ticket that your projector bulb is out. Your projector is old and outdated. How about instead of replacing that bulb, I tell the head of school we need to replace the entire projector with a shiny new $6000 75" touch screen board?"

    The teachers that are catty and entitled and rude? "I see you put in a ticket that your projector bulb is out. Your projector is old and outdated, which means that unfortunately we have to order the replacement bulb third party and you can expect it in about 3 weeks."

    Or the difference between "Oh your MacBook Pro needs repairs? Here's a spare MacBook
    Pro for you, we'll move all your files over and install any programs you need while we get it fixed." vs "Oh your MacBook Pro needs repairs? Here's a Chromebook."

    I've read a story somewhere, about saluting a sticker, because officer's wife insisted that she's supposed to be saluted, because she has a sticker on her car window.

    [–]bl00is 39 points40 points  (6 children)

    The gate guys! I used to be embarrassed when they saluted to my car but when I started seeing those comments about saluting the sticker, I felt slightly better about it. I was 19-20, and just a dependent, no reason to salute. I can’t imagine complaining that someone didn’t salute me when I’m not even military, these wives are something else.

    [–]-The_Credible_Hulk 39 points40 points  (2 children)

    I’ve heard tales of NCOs spouses demanding to be addressed as their husband’s rank… I just can’t possibly imagine not realizing that the military is small and people talk a lot about douchebags they’ve been stationed with.

    All main character energy, while assuming your spouse actually has the horsepower to back it up? I simply can’t wrap my head around it.

    [–]passwordsarehard_3 18 points19 points  (1 child)

    Because, often times, it is backed up. They do indeed tell the husband and he then rips the soldier’s ass because “ disrespecting my family is disrespecting me”.

    [–]-The_Credible_Hulk 19 points20 points  (0 children)

    This works for a little bit. But all it takes is the wrong >E8 or >O4 seeing your spouse on a power trip and your goose is cooked. This is not a long term winning strategy.

      An officer’s wife can demand anything they want. They’re civilians. It doesn’t make it a lawful order. So long as you very carefully word your response while remaining respectful and having an audience? You can do the military equivalent of “fuck off! You’re not my supervisor!”

      It goes something like: “Apologies ma’am. With respect to your husband’s rank and station, I am required to carry out lawful orders directed by officers and the noncommissioned officers in my chain of command.

      Ma’am, as a civilian, you do not fall into that command structure despite your relationship to ____.

      Good day, ma’am.”

      Also, things like that are why it’s now not allowed to have officer or station stickers on POVs anymore. Your spouse does NOT carry your rank and I can tell you with 100% certainty that being married to someone like that is a detriment to your career.

      [–]rob2060 6 points7 points  (2 children)

      I was on the gate one day, augmented from Comm as an E-7 during a security situation due to low manning. No shit had a Colonel's wife say to me "Do you know who I am?" after she'd forgotten her ID.

      "Yes, ma'am," I said, "you're the person holding up my line. Please do a U turn right now."

      The private security guard behind me starting choking. After the car turned around he said to me, "Dude, that was awesome. I'd be fired for that!"

      I looked at him and said, "What are they going to do to me, send me back to my squadron?!"

      [–]-The_Credible_Hulk 4 points5 points  (1 child)

      As an E-7? Boy howdy, you probably wouldn’t have cared if it was the Colonel himself and he’d forgotten his…

      Really. Worst case? And I’m talking worst case scenario? They’d get rid of you at the next possible moment and you’re “retired” and you get to go be a postman for 5 years before you retire there too.

      [–]rob2060 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      Yeah, very top heavy base the majority of us were E-6 and E-7.

      I was just not one for these antics by civilians lol

      But she’s Very Married Important

      [–]yourskillsx100 3 points4 points  (2 children)

      What about behind the scenes at like super fancy events? Like old people and donations and politics and stuff? Do those old ass wives have any sway? Or is that just like TV type shit?

      [–]-The_Credible_Hulk 3 points4 points  (1 child)

      Maybe once you reach a point where there are only a handful of people that actually or technically outrank you? You’re talking to someone far too crass and uncivilized for such esteemed company.

      That said? I’ve never met the spouse of anyone who is above E7 or O5 who is anything but kind and respectful.

      Like I mentioned earlier, higher ups and their families spend an assload of time together because they really can’t make friends with anyone else without risking questions of impropriety of relationships. Between that and the fact that a reputation in the military is carved in granite and follows you everywhere? They are well aware who is married to a douche.

      If you’re in a position to have weight behind your recommendation? Who gets recommended for promotion? A guy who’s a solid officer but their wife is notoriously shitty human who your wife is going to complain to you about? Or a guy who’s a little rough but nothing crazy and their wife (who you will have to spend a ton of time with) is an absolute delight?

      If it’s me?

      I’m thinking guy #2 can be straightened out. You can give him direct orders and there are big boy consequences for his continued roughery. Wife #1 as long as she doesn’t break the law on base or compromise your subordinate’s security clearance? She is entirely outside of your control. Even if she causes a huge scene, all you can really do is ask her to leave and make her husband’s life miserable.

        I don't know if that's true, but it would't suprise me. When I was in the army, me and my friends got cut off in line at the Burger King on post by some dependapotumus karen and her reasoning was that she was sergeant major so-and-so's wife and she could do that.

          That last part is sorta true. If the officer is incredibly well liked and respected, and has a good sense of humor his unit might fuck with him by doing it.

          But it’s out of love.

          [–]-The_Credible_Hulk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

          100%. I should have specified that the outline above holds true for officers we really liked, as well.

            I don’t know why but this makes me think of a story a midshipmen told me about his Plebe Summer at the academy. (The few weeks in summer where they have incoming freshman do a version of basic training)

            He was running, just running and running and running. The officer (probably an upper class men) asked who wanted to carry on. (Meaning who wanted to be finished)

            The first person to answer in the affirmative was given a heavy box with the word “on” written in the front and sent running with the group.

            Not even remotely the same kind of story. Apologies. Just a similar form of military malicious compliance.

            [–]johnsvoice 6 points7 points  (3 children)

            Forgive me if I'm wrong here, but when I was in I took it to understand that the return salute is not actually required, and that if the salute is not returned by salutee, the saluter then holds the salute for six paces beyond officer and recovers. I believe the six paces was specified in our blue book at Ft. Campbell.

            (This could also be garrison specific, and this policy unique to Campbell as I definitely remember the blue book telling you to also salute officers when out of uniform as well, a practice that I know was not followed at other units.)

            [–]-The_Credible_Hulk 13 points14 points  (0 children)

            It may be/have been base commander mandated for some site-specific reason but I’ve honestly never heard of this. If you’re in a situation where it’s mandated for an enlisted to salute an officer, it is (in every setting I’ve been) just as (and often more so) mandatory for a return salute to be offered.

            An E-2 might get a tongue lashing for screwing this up, I’ve seen officers get absolutely skewered, on full drill pads, in front of the gods and everyone for the same infraction.

            I once overheard (I wasn’t trying to listen. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it) an E-9 dress an O-1 or 2 fucking down when he didn’t return a verbal greeting from a subordinate.

            One of those,

            “Lt. CockNose… do you understand why it is important for the men and women in your command to see that the rules not only apply to you but that…”

            It doesn’t seem that bad if you’re a civilian but it’s ultimately a chief calling into question your ability to command. It’s the first of maybe 2 conversations that happens before an officer’s career prospects abruptly vanish and this guy was brand spanking new.

            If he was less of a POS I would have felt bad for him.

              I kept saluting a naval officer at an event one time, every time he came past my post. He clearly wasn't big on the practice but returned the salute and two NCOs with him kept smiling and joking about it. Around the 4th time he came in he saw me, did a half-grin half-grimmace and muttered "...don't". I saluted. The NCOs got a real kick out of it.

              [–]-The_Credible_Hulk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

              I got the same treatment with some Allied (I believe from UAE? I could be wrong. Long time ago.) officers that went through training with my enlisted flight. There were 2 of them in a training block ahead of us and they were surrounded by like 700 enlisted unless they were in their quarters.

              Towards the end of training we’d gotten to know them and they’d try to reason with you, “We go to the same classes! We are the same!”.

              “Sir, Airman Credible Hulk reports as ordered. First? No we’re not. You’re an officer. Even if you don’t want to be treated like one? It doesn’t work like that.

              Also? Do you have any earthly idea what would happen to me if someone who isn’t ‘the same!’ as us, saw me register your presence and not salute you?! Because, Sir? I don’t. And I have no intention on finding out.”

              It honestly was probably brutal for them. It was super funny when a for real TI came by and popped off one of those salutes (one of those you swear make a faint doorstop spring sound?) and these poor guys are so over the shit they’d just kinda wave at him in return.

                  You’re giving me flashbacks to Basic Training. Had a sadistic Drill Sergeant who would do that while 200 of us had our M-16s broken down for cleaning on the drill pad. Every 45 seconds or so he would exit the First Sergeant’s office and we would all have to scream “AT EASE!” and stand up at parade rest. Then he would pretend like he forgot something and go back in. This repeated probably 15 times, not even joking.

                  By the end of it, our weapon parts were strewn everywhere and some were mixed up with others. At one point a private didn’t go to parade rest fast enough, so the rest of us got smoked for 30 minutes while he got to stand there and watch us.

                  Good times, hooah.

                                    Gotta keep the news headlines going!

                                    Saturday: “Guy Ritchie says Henry Cavill doesn’t call it a ‘bathroom’ he calls it a ‘washroom’”

                                    Apparently rumor is Henry Cavill also takes dumps after he drinks too much coffee.

                                    Hopefully Guy can confirm that for us someday.

                                        No, it comes from a friend that would "stand up and be counted on" in a fight. Great guess, though!

                                                              I just stand up when anybody new enters the room I'm in to shake hands or greet the person. Somehow conditioned to not keep sitting down. But that's in a casual "friends gathering" kind of setting. Dunno, just feels weird sitting down to greet someone. Cba to read the article tho, dunno if he does that just exclusively to women.

                                                              I live in the Southeastern US, and this is engrained into general common courtesy. It’s considered polite/the norm here, but everywhere else, it’s probably too formal. I don’t find anything “neckbeardy” about it, because I do the same thing out of respect for people I’m greeting.

                                                              Also from the South, also stand when new people enter a room for greetings. It’s pretty normal here in many non-casual settings. Henry went to prep school, so standing when a new person enters the room for a greeting seems like the sort of thing that would get covered in his upbringing.

I mean, I guess politeness is always nice, but what about it makes it polite in the year 2024? What about the gesture accomplishes anything at all beyond highlighting the fact that someone who isn't a man arrived? I'd feel weird and called out if everyone stood up just because I entered a room. I dunno, I guess it's charming since he's nice, but if he were a douche I'd probably find it creepy.

Like I don’t do this but I always say please, thank you, you’re welcome, bless you etc and it’s not something I think about ever, but even ordering fast food at a drive thru I always “may I please have a” and then thank them for taking my money and giving me the food I paid for. I know it’s different because there isn’t a gender element but I’m just saying it’s how I’m programmed, probably the same for him.

Kinda like I was raised to refer to older people as “ma’am” or “sir”, but later learned that people not from the south sometimes take great offense to it, so I try very hard not to do it now.

                                                                        Unfortunately, growing up I would get swiftly corrected every time I did NOT do it, so it’s pretty deeply ingrained. Also, sorry lady at the grocery store that reacted as if I’d straight up called her an old hag, totally did not mean it that way!

Feels like some old school southern bullshit to me. I might be insane to say politeness is misogynistic but this kind of old school way of treating women seems sexist.

                                                                          Don’t women just want to be treated like regular human beings? No more or less than anyone else?

                                                                          [–]Caftancatfan 26 points27 points  (0 children)

                                                                          I would fucking hate this. Reddit loves Cavill as much as it hates James Corden, so I know this won’t be a popular take, but Cavill seems like kind of a pill.
