Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.
But he's not a captain.

Oh God, two of my USAF VPD instructors at DINFOS were part-time preachers and would sit there in class talking about scriptures and poo poo. They really buy in to that 'touched the face of god' poem!

I once threatened my LPO with a request for captains mast if he wouldn't shut the gently caress up about dinosaurs living with people in texas while I was working.

I'm not in the military, so I don't know what that means. Is it a punishment like in the movie death proof.

just wondering, is he a civilian? because everyone I have on facebook from the army thinks that poo poo is obnoxious and stupid.

Yeah they were a civilian. But another who shared it was a discharged marine I left him alone since he kinda went off the deep end with PTSD after losing friends/squad mates, and he's pretty chill so long as he doesn't drink.

for every person committing war crimes you need a hundred support personal back at base.

90% of military personal stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan never left the bases they were deployed at, so you're not a million miles out with that estimate.

jubs, i want to thank you for your service. your MOS in necro'ing this poo poo thread really won the war on common sense and reminded me to do my duty and vote 1.

seriously, i read this whole loving thread and am trying to shovel as many abusable substances as possible into all of my holes so that perhaps i can forget how to read

...and then join the marines because then i'd fit right in.

no. I only get upset when they leave out the fact that they were a fobbit, knowing that most civilians know jackshit about military service and will readily allow their imaginations to run wild. it's lying by omission.

If I find some valor just laying around on the street, can I keep it if nobody else claims it?

I'm trying to become The Avatar and valor is pretty hard to raise without getting the police involved.
