Chapter 546 The Drunk in the Moonlight
The so-called exchange of favors must naturally come and go, then it will be complete...
Carter was given the opportunity, and McGuire took it. With this exchange, both sides' little thoughts were satisfied, and for a while, the area in the carriage was very happy.
"Pay more attention later. If you see someone who looks like a soldier, go up and question him. Don't wait until something goes wrong before handling it... Our brigade has only been transferred for a short period of time. It is a sensitive period. Military-civilian conflicts are now
Discipline issues that are strictly enforced during the stage. Especially the people in our company, if they see it, they must give a serious warning, otherwise something will happen, and the promotion to captain will be blocked... Hampton is not young..."
"I see..."
Outside a nightclub not far from the city center, the jeep stopped. Carter and the two military policemen, including two military policemen, were sorting out their clothes. Taking this opportunity, McGuire imparted to Carter the information that this inspection would be tough...
Let Carter know everything in his mind!
Entering the noisy nightclub disco, Carter and the others looked at everyone passing by as they walked. Listen to the language they used when speaking, and see if they were tall and tall, and whether they had "dog tags" hanging on their chests, or whether they were
There are items issued by the US military on the clothing...
"Which part are you in?"
While Carter was looking around, McGuire had already caught a target.
It was a group of four, and there were a few Italian girls with confused faces beside the group of four, who were looking at Carter and the others in confusion.
"Company A, Second Battalion, Lieutenant!" Remember it in one second:
"I'm from A Company, too."
"I..."
"Show me your leave note!"
After checking the leave slip and checking the time to return to camp, McGuire dropped a reminder to "pay attention to discipline, don't mess around, return to camp on time, and drink less alcohol", or gave Carter a warning.
The first inspection work was completed.
The U.S. military still has relatively loose control over these soldiers who did not have any conflicts with the locals during the holidays. As long as there is no trouble, the U.S. military generally turns a blind eye, whether they are having sex outside the station or engaging in prostitution.
Close one eye...
There are no rules here such as not being allowed to fall in love with the resident girl...
Vicenza is just a small town with not many nightclubs. There are beer halls, disco bars, square food stalls and other crowd gathering areas. After walking around one by one, the night is almost over...
"Let's go, after running around all night, let's go have something to eat! Go to Quirini Park..."
“Want to eat pizza?”
Thinking of the continuous pizza shops on the roadside along the way, Carter felt a pain in his balls. It seemed that he recalled the horror of being dragged by his sister to eat pizza...
This may be paradise for Melis, but for Carter...
"No, pizza has no special features. In the Veneto region, hearty soups and seafood risotto are the most commendable. Oh, by the way, it is also very close to Venice. You can also go there if you have time.
Shopping... Having said that, the cured meats in the hills of northern Veneto are also very good. Unfortunately, I am on business today and cannot drink wine, otherwise I would pair it with the Amarone wine here..."
McGuire smiled and twitched the corners of his mouth:
"You know what? I feel like the most similar thing between me and Italians is that we both love food. After staying here for almost two years, if you ask me where to find delicious food, you're right! Here we are..."
From Vicenza, which is not a big city, it did not take long to get to Quirini Park in the city center. The jeep stopped on the side of the road, and under the leadership of McGuire, several people walked to a food stall.
European life at night, no, even during the day, is sometimes not like what many Chinese people imagine, where you have to eat in a serious restaurant, wearing suits and ties. Compared with that kind of restaurant, food stalls in the market
, and this kind of food stall in front of the park is a more market-oriented choice and the most humane choice.
"SGT, are there many disciplinary incidents here in Vicenza?"
Taking off his beret, while waiting for the food to be served, Carter took aim at the two relatively silent military police. As military police, most people are usually not happy to deal with military police. However, for officers like Carter,
For me, the military police are the ones I have to deal with...
Especially after being promoted to company commander, as the first-level officer in the US military with the authority to handle military justice (UCMJ), it is inevitable that the military police will be required to cooperate with the execution when exercising the authority to handle military justice.
Considering the possibility that Rick had mentioned before, and the actual experience during this period, except for boredom, there were no uncomfortable experiences at all, which made Carter's heart gradually loosen.
It seems that it is not impossible to be an officer for a period of time. Then, it is necessary to know more information in advance...
"Fortunately, there are no serious violations of discipline for the time being. However, there are still quite a few excessive drinking, verbal conflicts, etc. It's just that the headquarters is strict now, and no one dares to take action yet."
"So, you are saying that violence will still occur in the future..."
"That's for sure. I have been a military policeman for almost ten years, and I have never seen any base where soldiers did not cause trouble at all. This is unrealistic. Even within our military police, there have been serious disciplinary problems."
"I heard from the lieutenant that if a soldier in our company is caught violating discipline, it will affect the promotion of the chief officer, is that true?"
"Yes, the promotion mechanism has changed a lot now. In terms of evaluation, the opinions of the direct leaders account for a large proportion. Once a problem occurs and the higher-ups are held responsible, the higher-level officers will be affected first. Naturally, the lower-level officers will be affected first.
That is to say, the initiator will also have a bad impact. In addition, once these things pass through the hands of the military police, they will be recorded in files, and no one can fake this."
"So, Carter, it's usually best to resolve things yourself. If you can, don't ask the military police. If you leave a file, the record cannot be erased."
McGuire, who came back after ordering the meal, reminded him pointedly. He didn't care at all about the thoughts of the two sergeants opposite him...
Of course, according to the tradition of the U.S. Army, McGuire, as an officer, does not need to care. In fact, Carter believed that if the other two were not both mid-level and senior sergeants, McGuire might not even be able to meet them in such an informal setting.
Here, even if you sit at the same table and eat, there will be no...
This detail once again made Carter feel the difference in the ideology of building armies between China and the United States. In a place like the U.S. Army, officers and soldiers seem to be two naturally distinct classes.
"Well, I understand."
After nodding to show that he understood this, Carter opened his mouth. Just when he was about to say something, a staggering guy with a red face suddenly appeared in the park...
The "dog tag" floating on the chest looks extremely dazzling in the moonlight...
"Well, it looks like this meal will be delayed!"
Seeing that the man couldn't even walk in a straight line, McGuire sighed. He picked up the beret on the table, put it on his head, and walked towards the man...
The military policeman at the same table quickly followed suit.
Until this moment, Carter and the others did not realize the seriousness of the matter...
After all, drinking too much is a big deal?
