A Superior Gave This Military Man A Hard Time For No Reason, So He Made Sure Some Vehicles Got Shipped To The Wrong Location to Make Him Look Bad
by Matthew Gilligan
Who says that people can’t have a little bit of fun in the military?
Well, according to this story from Reddit’s “Malicious Compliance” page, it’s possible!
And this guy explained what happened.
Get all the details below!
Sending trucks to the wrong state to screw over a SSgt.
“Back when I was in my first unit we had to ship all of our 7 tons off to get up armored.
That meant that over a year or so we shipped them all from South Carolina to Wisconsin.
I was in charge of logistics at the time so I coordinated it all and loaded the trucks. Overall, a pretty easy task.
The only challenge was the documentation.
The new guy showed up…
Anyways, it was all going well until this new SSgt showed up in the motor pool.
He was a jerk.
Just treated everyone like ****.
He made my life miserable when I tried to ship these trucks.
Like I didn’t want too, it wasn’t overly fun.
Sometimes it even required me to work on weekends, so I would have been happy just not doing it.
However, I had to, HQMC ordered it, so there was no reason for him to be annoyed with me.
Anyways, so once he took over shipping these trucks became a pain in the *** because he would want to micromanage because I was a lower rank.
So I let him and he wanted to sign anything.
So I made up lines for him to sign.
He had an idea…
So finally I had it with him.
One day I decided since he wanted to sign and be important I would mess him up.
So when my next big shipment (like 4 trucks) came along I decided that instead of sending them to Wisconsin like they were supposed to go, I would send them somewhere else.
I decided 29 Palms, California would be a great location.
So I changed some codes on the sheets, gave them to the jerk SSgt who made more nasty comments and signed blindly.
So off we shipped these trucks.
Oh, really?
Well, a couple weeks later the call comes in that our trucks never arrived.
So the command starts getting worried that a few trucks had gone missing.
They come to our shop and we just informed them that this SSgt had taken charge of all the shipments lately.
So they go to him and he proudly said he had taken over, but crumbled when they asked him where the trucks were.
It took them a couple of weeks but finally a call from 29 Palms came into our command that they had these trucks show up but nobody had claimed them.
Oops!
The command flipped their ****.
As far as they were concerned this stupid SSgt got involved in stuff he didn’t need to get involved in and sent four big trucks across the country instead of where they needed to be.
He got told to leave the logistics to the logistics department and I had the whole thing solved in an hour.”
