Done with Army basic!

If these folks are offended by made up quotes that never existed, from a movie no less, then there really isn't all that much hope for them, wouldn't you say?

Make no mistake, there is no hope for them...

"The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function: without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends upon it."

Congrats....

Is your age correct ?? 34 and going to boot camp ?? I don't think that could've been done in my time....

Thanks.

It was no picnic, and I never quit even though it sucks for the 1st month. It was 95 and hummid for the 1st two months and they smoked the shit out of us..lol. I took crap from the younger kids for beeing older, but after passing all my PT tests they cut the shit out. Plus I'd say "well, this old ass could still knock you out, no problem" lol. Yeah, it was pretty amazing life changing experience, I'd do it all over if I could! It looks like I'll be going over sea's somewhere early next year.

Hooah!!

[NATEDOG001976]

Ya. Still enjoying the nice 80 degree temps right now!

Natedog. I think that tank behind you wants to have sex. It has a HUGE erection!

LOL!!! You should see the girls in my unit! NICE!

[GAR]

They let you have girls on your unit in the barracks?

Wow, todays' New Army..

[Nitro Express]

LOL!!! You should see the girls in my unit! NICE!

I was flying on an Air Force KC 135 tanker this summer and the boom operator and one of the pilots were girls. Both were pretty nice looking.

Without getting into the nuts and bolts, the longer you stay on active duty past 20 years, the higher the percentage of pension you get.... I'm guessing the COL was close to 30 years, right ??

As opposed to me, who got the hell out of dodge with 20 years and 9 days, got 50%.....

Yeah, he was a lifetime military guy.

We don't pay you to look at their tits.. I didn't even ask and you tell. Were the Gay Marines looking at your Balls then?

There are no Marines in the Air Force.

[SunisinuS]

There are no Marines in the Air Force.

They would detract from the fuel load.

[Nitro Express]

They would detract from the fuel load.

Well, you do think about sex in those tanker planes. You watch the big hard boom enter the hole and then the fuel pumps make a pumping sound. When you are laying down in the back of the plane with a cute boom operator watching all of this, yes, you have thoughts. This is the sort of thing that if people were really telepathic, most of us men would be in huge trouble.

Man I don't believe this for a second.

Nate must have finished Basic Potty Training, and excelled in Urine Sharpshooting.

What I learned in my training was: how to use a stick to scratch a hole in the ground to take a shit.

Like a bear, not like a snail.. leaving a slime-trail of grease an fluids everywhere I step afterward.

- did they teach that anymore?

gar, nate is legit.
i've been it touch with him by phone throughout the whole thing.
give the man a break.........i believe he has well earned it.

[ace diamond]

I think you can enlist up to the age of 42, although I think they're getting more stringent again as they need less recruits...

i'm ineligible for enlistment.
i found that out when i was 18 because i tried to join the marines and was told i wasn't allowed because i have no brothers to continue my family name if i got killed.
the recruiting office in fontana, california told me that.
on sierra avenue.
that was in autumn of 1995.
the funny thing is, they were willing to igniore my artificial left knee cap and my very bad eyesight...........even with bcg's!

You, Sir, are completely full of shit.....

I've had many friends do tours as recruiters, Navy and Marine Corps... Don't even try a lame excuse like that and disrespect them while I'm around....
