My wife worked with an ex military guy at Boeing. For the purposes of this story, we will call him "Juan"....because that is his name. Juan was an immigrant (legal I'm pretty sure), from Mexico.

Swallowing all that B.S. that people seem to believe, he felt it was his duty as an immigrant to serve in the military. (In his situation at the time, it was a good gig. He got an education, and never had to really do anything for it.)

So eventually he gets a job at Boeing, gets married, even signs up for the reserves, had a kid, leaves Boeing for Lockheed...life is good.

Fast forward to now (-ish)....good ol' Juan decides that at the age of 38, (with a 2 or 3 year-old kid, with a cush design job at Lockheed) that NOW would be a good time to re-enlist with the reserves. They'd never actually send him to Iraq, right? Naaaawwwwww..... Everyone told him not to, but he did anyway.

Well guess who's in basic training right now! Guess who will then be sent to Iraq for an EIGHTEEN month tour of duty! Guess who's going over there as a TRUCK DRIVER!!

Poor stupid Juan.... Don't they aim at the trucks out there first?

Sounds like all her wants is a gun to carry around. A little trigger happy eh?

 

[MMike]

That's the weird thing. He's not an 'Apocolypse Now' type. He's the calmest, nicest guy guy you'll meet...next time me of course.

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

And he is not from the States? So he really can't have pride in the U.S. unless it is semi-false(ly) guided. I wonder why.

That's what N8 should do. Money where his mouth is so to speak. Come on N8, ask not what your country can do for you and all that. They need experienced people. Sign up again.

Ohhh.....now we're onto something......

Truck Driver, eh?


Tell him to put on his IED detector.

Seriously N8, what' the problem? Give us ONE good reason why you shouldn't enlist? Don't you want to protect freedom?

if it'll sweeten the deal for you, I'll even put a yellow ribbon on my car.

During his time in the military N8 killed thousands of men. He was a cook.
I know he did serve but in what capacity I don't know. I think he was a professional light bulb changer.

N8 is officially the property of Partsbara from now on.
