I'm only putting this here because I know current/former military is on here, so I'll get an answer to something i REALLY want answered.
/k/, I fucked up.
>be me
>private on staff duty with my platoon sergeant
>my boss is feeling generous; "go get a nap in for 3 hour and be back here by 0115 so i can get 3 hours in."
>go to my barracks, set my alarm up on my ipad (phone is busted audio wise, so I'd never hear it anyway) and go to bed
>wake up
>0417
>wtfisgoingon.wav
>check my phone to call him; he's called 4 times around 0100 and when i talk to him about showing up right then he responds in one word answers
>sprint the fastest ive ever sprinted to the BN
>get there and stand at ease for a solid 10 minutes
>not even a glance in my direction
How fucked am I /k/? I don't normally cause issues within the platoon, at least not to this magnitude, but this is my first time working with him AT ALL since he just got back into country after being stateside for SLC, so I'm not imagining this to end even remotely small at all
i have learned that when you absolutely positively need to wake up, something stupid will happen with your alarm clock/iphone/whatever, so i set 3 alarms minimum to triple my chances of waking up.
sorry man this shit has happened to me in similar ways.

Dude I'm sweating so many fucking bullets right now. He's sleeping rn, but I mean he gave me his trust on this shit and I fucked him good on this one. Again, unintentional, but he isn't gonna give a fuck that my alarm didn't work; the man needed me back at a certain time and I fucked him good. The stress of it all is fucking killing me man.

You're going to get one hell of a chewing out and probably raped.
Of all the people to Jack on and you do it to your platoon sergeant, you silly billy.
There's nothing you can really do except apologise and accept whatever punishment you get.
>>30779193
So is there any recovery from this? I legitimately dont know what to do. He can skulldrag me across the whole of fucking Korea for all I care, I earned that shit, but you think theres any way for me to recover?
>>30779224
First thing you've got to do is buy multiple functioning alarm clocks,
I would assume that you've broken this guys trust because of this HOWEVER if you're on time (e.g 10 minutes early) for every task that gets assigned to you from now on, he'll probably calm down a bit and realise that you weren't being a dick on purpose and that you're not going to fuck him around like that again.
You're not going to get the firing squad, probably a month of extra duties or some shit.
Out of curiosity, was this guard duty or was this office work you were supposed to be doing or something?
>>30779298
Guard duty. It's just the regular usual shit, nothing unusual. And thanks man, i really needed someone to just lay shit out for me.
>>30779386
>Guard duty.
But not in afghan or anything, right?
>>30779416
Hell no, thank Christ Almighty. It's just Korea. Simple shit, but still man, I fucked this dude hard
You're a dumb private and make mistakes. Always sleep where the staff duty/CQ person can easily reach you in-perso. As in, makeshift bed in the back or your car. Platoon Sergeant is dumb for having trusted a private, he must be new.
>>30779224
He is pissed, but you are a dumb fucking private.
You will pay for awhile, then he will forget until you (invariably) fuck up again.
You know that shitty feel you feel? Its a good thing.
If he asks you to explain yourself, dont give excuses, admit you fucked up and that it wont happen again, and you accept whatever shit he flings your way.
>>30779102
hahahahahahahaha (Im from the other mil thread about PSYOP) hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Yeah you made a bad impression on him so dont fuck up again. Apologise.
let me guess, he didnt bother to leave because he had to be there as the officers came in?
>>30779102
You fucked up it happens take your licking move on and try to avoid repeats
>>30779102
>Platoon Sargeant trusting a private
What the fug
>>30780553
Most likely a test, along with "well fuck if he actually does not fuck up i get rack"
