Blames incident on PTSD:
quote:

A driver was arrested after Surprise police say a road rage incident was caught on camera. 40-year-old Charles Bass was taken into custody after pointing a gun twice at a teen driver earlier this month.

On December 5, 19-year-old Shi ’Anna Bamba was driving near Litchfield and Cactus roads in Surprise. After dropping off her siblings at school, Bamba said she tried to change lanes. Court documents said Bamba cut off a truck, but she told ABC15 that's not what happened.

You don’t pull a gun on someone in a situation like this because service connected ptsd

1. Poor trigger discipline.
2. Even if on leave for three weeks, how did his beard grow that much?

AF SNCO in a F250, checks out.

shite, it's 2024. He'll probably use this incident as further evidence of his "PTSD" and get full disability for life.

"There was a rocket attack at Bagram this one time and now I'm pulling pistols on 19-year old girls. Pay me!"

If he was in the Space Force he could have used a phaser.

I'm a retired 1SG. Nobody called me Top. One time this cherry LT "Top" and I said "frick you. I'm not a child's toy that spins around for your entertainment."

I have heard the toy phrase about as often as I have heard "I work for a living" but my experience was different. When I got my first platoon and addressed the company 1SG as First Sergeant he told me to call him Top, I stayed with him as a PL and XO then when I got my first company command I always addressed my 1SG as First Sergeant but everyone else in the company called him Top. I guess it hits some people differently and depends on the culture of the larger unit to some degree. I initially didn't like being called the Old Man but I grew to appreciate it but soldiers didn't directly address me as such either.

In any case, the 1SG in question was spinning.

The PTSD claim is likely BS unless he has changed careers. Luke is home to F-35s and enlisted Air Force from Luke would not have seen action that puts them in harms way. Well, unless walking to the Hadji market on a secure base scares them.

Guys in Ford trucks have become the biggest assholes on the road. I see it daily. They've replaced BMW/Audi Douche for the top spot

Yeah, only the older guys called our COT Old Man. I always thought it was weird as a young enlisted FNG that some old crusty SFC chain smoking reds was calling a young CPT "old man". It made sense after learning the history of it.

Bases aren't terrible but they sure as shite aren't perfect. I hear about it, tell the base commander and then tell PA to keep it under wraps.

I have a more detailed event after the exit from Afghanistan at Andrews. Not only were the goat frickers uncivilized but eventually they disappeared along with the hard drives that had the original reports. Middle Eastern men are the biggest pieces of trash ever in human history.

But back to the reply. Yall never heard about that. Especially in today's culture with DA, SA and rape being major problems that get acted on.

Veterans should NOT be allowed to own firearms

Certainly none claiming PTSD.

The AF uses the term "Shirt" or "First Shirt" for a first sergeant.
