I was walking in the CBPO in fatigues and a man I knew to be a staff sergeant abruptly stepped in front of me and whispered very loudly, "Look at you wearing all green BUT I BET YOU'RE PURTY PINK INSIDE". Thing was, he was wearing shorts and sandals and I was wearing COMBAT BOOTS. So I raised my foot high and SMASHED his toes. He started screaming YOU BITCH YOU BITCH and that's when I kicked him REALLY HARD in the shin.
A couple of days later I saw him hobbling around base and I yelled HEY PERVERT, HOW'S YOUR FOOT? HAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHA.

One night TAD to MAA Force, scooped up a drunk sailor[shocking i know] after a brief struggle i cuffed him and stuffed him. Brought him back to base to be processed and sleep it off. He still trying to fignt while in the office when the Command Duty Officer came in. Asked about our arrestee and then said to take off his cuffs. I strongly advised against it, then i was informed that this O5 Commander did not want my input and it was now an order to take the cuff off. I promptly did and two seconds later the drunken sailor jumped up and punched the Commander strait in the face. In my best "good job asshole" voice i asked the Commander if he wanted me to cuff the prisoner now. Good Officers, Good Leaders listen to their troops to succeed.
