so, my first deployment to Afghanistan was in 2004-2005. we had a weight room that was pretty decent, except this active duty sergeant major decided to build his living quarters adjoining the weight room. soldiers would be going to town getting their swell on and he would walk in and scream at them to not drop the weights. I'm sorry, but when you are chest pressing 100 lb dumbbells it is extremely difficult to not drop the weights. this sergeant major was such a prick that he forced all the units that used the weight room to post a guard that would tell people not to drop the weights, so that when the weights were dropped he could go yell at the gym guard. it was the sergeant major's dumb choice to have his living quarters as part of the weight room and he has to take his frustration out on us.
