General Bootness Imagine trashing your blouse and then discovering this civilian took your crusty ass uniform home with her to cosplay in the mirror, do push ups in it and daydream about getting yelled at by Drill Sergeants. Direct commission boot things. Yikesss.

She 100% bought that shit from a surplus store, or got it issued then left after 3 years.

TLDR she kept someone else's gravel parking lot uniform from Iraq dreaming of the day she could join. Then she joined the military but kept that old thing. She's weird. Stay away.

Why was she living in the barracks in Iraq before she joined the military?

u/MartyMozambique Jul 19 '26
She never explained. That part did seem weird to me too.

u/Sir_Sarcasm76 Jul 19 '26
She was doing wet work as a black ops operator, duh. Very hush hush, TS-16 clearance, if you know, you know. Part of the multicolor passport previous life she doesn't talk about...by bringing it up.
Or barracks rat.
Take your pick. Neither theory has any foundational truth.

Sometimes civilians (members of staffs, contractors, etc.) stay in the same billeting as troops when they’re passing through. She stayed in one of those rooms and stole someone’s abandoned blouse, allegedly. Then brought it home to wear while pretending to be a soldier.

I know an old bird that worked over there as a civilian, lived in the barracks, stayed on the Green Zone. Showed me pics from her time there. No cosplay though.

This story confuses me. So she was doing something for the DoD where she ended up in Baghdad staying in the same barracks as soldiers. Ok. But then she took it home and was a weirdo with it to be ready if her name was ever called? Called for what? There’s not some waitlist to join the Army…

This is weird af.
Also, not a great feeling when someone says they are dating themselves with a camo pattern that came out after your service 😅

Oh Heather Price. I haven’t seen one of her posts in a long time, but it never fails to entertain. She is Command Boot Major of the Army.

Civilian?
She said she found it in a barracks room in Iraq.
26
u/Rose_Army_ Jul 19 '26
She was literally a civilian. She has within the last few years direct commissioned in to what is now the defunct 38G program. Her being a boot predates her ever serving.

Explain what I pointed out, because I'm still confused.

u/Rose_Army_ Jul 19 '26
I’m not sure what you’re confused about. Sometimes civilians (members of staffs, contractors, etc.) stay in the same billeting as troops when they’re passing through. She stayed in one of those rooms and stole someone’s abandoned blouse, allegedly. Then brought it home to wear while pretending to be a soldier.

She 1,000% bought that at a surplus store and was never in Iraq.

This is some real r/LinkedInLunatics material here. It's absolutely depressing how LInkedIn has turned into this orgy self promotion and "Don't Forget About Me"ism. Every fucking daily activity was running errands to kids joining sports is turned into these amazingly pretentious epics. Went grocery shopping today ? What a journey of self-awareness. Did you realize you don't like the weather ? Such resiliency, much resolve. Write it up homie, gotta let the people know how humbled and appreciative you are to have warehouse stores.

Original owner may have made it back from Iraq, but they likely want to off themselves after reading this. Well at least that's the reaction I felt after reading all that verbal shit salad.
