Military VETS

[Catkicker]

Well, I'm not a veteran, but I have been in Army just about 1 year 9 months about. Been interesting so from BCT,AIT to Fort Wainwright. Winter ****ing sucked. Putting tents up in -30 degrees for FTX or doing a run in -20. Just blows. We were suppose to be getting deployed sometime this year even got a pep talk from our Lt Col Battalion commander only to find out before our second FTX it was canceled last heard.

But summers are great in AK. Went to the range 2 weeks ago M4/M16, this week did CBRN again ( not as bad as BCT) and LNAV. Studying for board at moment creeds,FM,ARs etc.

I'm just a 35F Intel Analyst or all source some refer to us as. Intel is rather boring at times....Pretty interesting to read through and see different MOSs and what not.

PS If you don't bring bug spray....Death by giant face eating mosquitoes.

you are wrong sir, anyone who's completed 180 days of service or been medically discharged is a vet. you just still fit in your uniform

oh and on the topic of service/squadron rivalry: at Hahn AB in 80 the SP's and army unit across the road had so many fights that the base commander authorized us to build a bar in our barracks. it was limited to just enlisted after the first day. that day the base and wing co's came by and had a drink, along with our co and our officers. never saw one there after that. as far as i know, it was the only private bar the air force ever allowed in a barracks.

Games are my pass time lately, Perhaps I have to much time on my hands. I prefer PC however I have started really getting back on my 360. If you are battle minded and ready to go I will be on some days this weekend however I have to make a trip to a quaint place called Gunbarrel City Texas... I need a little time on the lake. Also I love the food the family cooks so I can't pass some good drinks, food, and a chance to get my boat and jet ski's in the water.
