Over Seas PLEASE! Date Friday, April 19, 2024 - 01:28 PM PST Topic Experiences If you have ever thought to yourself “Man, I fucking hate where I live”, think again. Try being a Military member over seas. All I see when I go to base to base are these old Okinawens (Japanese) holding up signs saying, “Go home, we want a peacefully country”. I’m thinking to myself, “I WANT TO GO HOME!” For example: On July 6th at 0600 (6am for you non military people) I was driving to work with my girlfriend. Driving along just thinking about how tired I am. Then all of a sudden. BAMMM!! I get rear-ended. So thinking I go into a regular accident I start to pull over and then I get again and then again. So I freak out and high tail it to the far right lane and punch it. Mind you I drive a 350hp Nissan Skyline GTS-t. But the traffic starts to slow and then coming like a bat outta hell, SLAM!! The motherfucker hits me again…and so this is going on for about 3 minutes. So the last major hit, he slams my car into the median in the center of the road and my car stops smashed. But this little fucker has his car floored, still trying to push my car. I put the car in park, pull the E-Brake and get out. I start yelling, totally pissed off and scared out of my head. This Japanese guy, turned out to be 40 years old, just staring at my car still flooring his little busted up piece of shit. So I get closer and his puts his car in reverse and I freak like he is going to hit my car or me! I get back into my car and take the fuck off, and weave through traffic to get to the Hospital where I work. I get there and tell my Directorate Commander what happened, I call the military police and the fucker I talk to (a marine mind you) tells me there is nothing he can do cause it happened off base, so he give me the JPs number (Japanese police). Later I go to the JP’s office and waste 3 hours of my day filling my statement, taking pictures of my car and where it all happened. They where really good and took a lot of pictures, and later that night I got a call and it was the JP’s. They had arrested the guy (I had his license plate number, forgot to mention) 30 minutes prior to calling me. The guy supposedly was mentally insane and driving a car. Please explain that one to me. I stated another report that was not translated into Japanese, and I’m sitting there wondering how many things they changed. During all this the JP tells me that they will contact my insurance company and the crazy guys, so I said “OK”, thinking that they would do there job since they have been so awesome earlier in the day. I was wrong. Ok.. well there is more but I'm going to shorten it now. Bottom line, they fucked me because I am an American and they can do that. The JAGs couldn’t do anything and neither could PMO (MP’s). So I had to fix my car out-of-pocket 1,200 dollars. It may not sound like a lot to some of you, but for an Enlisted E-3…that is a shit load. But here is the kicker. If I were to do that to a Japanese guy, it would have been turned into an international incident. I would have gone to the Brig; I would have been Court-Marshaled after Captain’s Mast. I would have been fucked. BUT WHEN A GOD DAMN LOCAL DOES IT TO AN AMERICAN, IT’S OK!!!!!! So next time your bitchen' about how much you hate your town or your country, Enlist and to a foreign country that the US used to occupy. -Morte This article comes from Shmeng http://www.shmeng.com/ The URL for this story is: http://www.shmeng.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=400
