Not much of a story, but we got a kick out of the Ritz crackers in the desert having moonspeak on one side.

Watching assholes get turned into flying pieces on the CAOC ops floor was always interesting. The UAV section would put the feed up on one of the huge wall screens, and as people around the room started to notice, they'd stand up. You knew something was about to happen when the ops floor was "prairie dogging."

I wish I remembered whose room this was. Someone on my crew...probably ASTs or techs. Edit: Ok, here's some for real. I got a KC-10 ride in early 2008. It was a 9.x hr mission, which the crew was not happy about...if we flew a sortie that short, it's because we probably had an engine shut down. Stupid Emirate island thing.  Mirage 2000.  Mirage F1. They pair the different types together because they have different sensors/weapons.  Dutch Viper.  Other Dutch Viper.  If I have to tell you, get hosed.  Slow motherfucking camera.   This is the motherfucker who dropped flares while actually taking fuel.   Edit2: Sorted out which Mirage was which. Godholio fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Feb 20, 2017 |

As far as I'm aware, I've only known one guy who died on active duty, and that was a high school buddy in a Blackhawk crash with JTF-B. A lot of guys in my school enlisted after graduating and I didn't maintain contact, so there could be a whole bunch more. They most/all probably would've stayed in, since their 4 would've been up between 9/11 and 2003.

I didn't realize one of those guys was never found. Or that the convoy commander's driver (after the commander was knocked out) led as much of the convoy as he could out of the ambush to a nearby tank company, then brought THEM back in to get survivors. Dude got a silver star.

A Bad Poster posted:He kept popping up on the monthly reports as needing to go to BLC and being red on medpros before they got him back. I got a chuckle whenever I saw that.  I bet his email was just nothing but angry messages from SNCOs to come see them in his dress uniform about missed appointments and falling behind on annual training.

Hillary Clintons Thong posted:the best random soldier care packaged i got was full of some american idol singers single cds lol, this is gonna date me but like 2005 and it was some dude with grey hair idk. We had a guy who had a bag of the cheapest Bic razors imaginable, and he'd use them faaaar too long. He wouldn't throw one out until his face looked like he was shaving with a handful of broken glass. We found a single pink Bic in a rando care package, and replaced his almost-full bag of razors with that one. He never said a word, and we actually forgot about it until a couple of weeks later when someone saw him using it and asked him why he was using a pink razor. He cared a lot more when we replaced his last pair of PT shorts with a size S...he was wearing L and probably should've been wearing XXL (they ran small as poo poo, tbh). There was ranting, raving, and more cursing than I'd heard from him in the entire 3 years I'd known him up to that point. Nobody at that base had any integrity, apparently, and he was going to have to sit with his laundry from now on.

That's because the DFAC at Dhafra was loving great, and the gym had on average 3 working pieces of equipment.
