Why Gym Rat Seniors Got Dragged to Disciplinary Hearing

Our platoon was truly a model of an advanced barracks with no absurdities and no insubordination, right? But then suddenly when they opened a disciplinary committee, the platoon got noisy

Turns out after work when they got their phones back, a few gym bros illegally used the NCO gym room. From what I heard, the soldier gym room is so fucking small that only a few people share benches and there are frequent fights over spots, but the NCO gym room has way better equipment and barely anyone uses it so it felt like such a waste. We thought we wouldn't get caught since no one uses it lmao. The NCOs had ambiguous reactions though. Since their intentions weren't that bad and it was hard to find a regulation to punish them with, they just gave them a warning and moved on.

The battalion commander (soldier/3rd class background) expanded the gym room after this incident, doubled its size, brought in a lot of equipment, so only the junior gym bros benefited - happy ending

Respectable

The soldiers were voluntarily working out and improving their fitness—how are they getting disciplined for that

🦊

Voluntary and independent combat strength improvement lmao

🐿️

Plus if this goes public, it'll inevitably lead to 'the officers are completely out of shape'... so yeah lol

🦊

When soldiers are putting in that much work and you hear 'what are you guys doing,' the officers look totally pathetic lmao

🦊

Yeah that's why if you report it, the response you'd get would make it better to just let it slide with some criticism

🐰

Military stories rarely have happy endings like this

🦊

okay but we need the full story because 'disciplinary hearing' makes it sound serious... what happened??

🦊

Our unit has a legend about this...

🐿️

My unit also had an amazing officer gym setup apparently, but I never got to see it

🦊

The military fitness center (golf course) should use those welfare funds to build a swimming pool, gym, crossfit facility and some decent facilities...

🐰

Nah we're spending it on crappy medals~

🐰

I heard at my unit a gym enthusiast with money kept buying more equipment lol

🐰

If you try to make a big deal out of it [soldiers voluntarily work out hard but officers don't do fitness training so the officer gym sits empty] that's all that gets left and reported upstairs lol

🐰

If they get disciplined it'll be archived across the whole country and everyone confirms they're idiots lmao

🐰

???: I gave them these facilities

🦊

It's awkward to punish soldiers for voluntarily training and improving combat strength—honestly the officers who failed to create a proper fitness environment for the soldiers are the only ones who'll take heat

🐰

Honestly if they were just vibing at the gym why would anyone snitch on them lol

🐰

Check out how the battalion commander was so proud he expanded the gym lol

🐰

Nice

🦊

If just one person had been in the gym after work, they wouldn't have even thought to do this—it must've been completely empty lmao

🐰

Seriously even if one officer had shown up, they would've been self-conscious and not gone, but it was apparently constantly empty

🐰

That commander genuinely got moved seeing the soldiers motivated and upgraded the equipment lol

🐿️

Our new company commander came in with a 'let's work hard together' vibe and just dramatically increased the equipment

🐿️

I was in an independent company and suddenly a weightlifting craze hit so like 2/3 of guys were lifting, special forces soldiers kept getting selected, and the supply officer got so hyped he kept buying more gear lol

🐰

LMAO not the gym rats getting in trouble 😭 what did they even do, deadlift in the wrong place??

🦊

This is actually wild, seniors are out here more dedicated than people half their age. Respect the grind 💪

🐰

This is lowkey inspiring ngl, 70-year-olds built different 🔥

🐰

gyms really said 'no fun allowed' apparently... let the old heads have their moment!!!
