I got in trouble with our 1st. Sgt once on a room inspection. I had my hockey bag full of gear in my wall locker, and he thought I had either a wet goat (Makes for a fun weekend!) or a dead body stashed in the locker...
It may have smelled a little bit.

I don't even want to start with my getting in trouble in the military stories...
I never got into trouble.....
I never got caught, anyway

Remember, this is pre-micro brew times...
Spudweiser at the least, but normally Heineken or if the package store had it, Pilsner Urquell. My favorite at the time though was Samuel Smith's Old Brewery Pale Ale, but I couldn't find it in the Fayettenam area. During Volant Rodeo, the selection was always German.
I almost punched out a Lt(jg) once ..... he was trying to make strafing runs on underage landing strips.....;^)
So you remained a plausibly personally reliable person? I had to research the PRP program - I had never heard of it.
Curling your moustache withn non government spec wax?
For the record, I never got caught either. I have ADD, and the government has this weird hang up about putting us ADD types around "special"weapons. I dont know wh...hey look, something shiny!
:biggrin: :biggrin:
Heh heh. and they gave me a SAW.
Air Force cops/AP's/SP's are not generally the brightest bulbs in the box... hey, if nothing else, you can always wave cars thru the main gate...

HAHA!!!
wait a sec... lemme ask the 2 MSgts from MUNS, the MSgt from CE and the SSgt from COM visiting me here in my office what they think about SP's...
Well... it's unanimous! SP's are the lowest of the low...
The Sgt from COM said he'd rather his sister become a prostitue than date an SP.
hey DRB what unit were u in?
before i reclassed from pararescue into computer programmer (1991), SP's had a minumum ASVAB rqmnt of 29 (out of 100); food handler was also 29.
i'm just sayin'...
anyone here wanna order a marine calendar?

AF Fire dog from 00-04 in Japan it was a fun gig
So N8, you are on RM on government time? Nice...someone get an irate taxpayer on the line!
And CE, MUNS and COMM? Wow, really picking the cream of the crop there. They hate us until they need us, and then we cant get there fast enough to clean up their messes. Most of which they make themselves...

we have a saying here in our design firm...
"We can't make it SP proof, but we can try.."
But seriously, kudos to any military Monkey, past or present...
We take that as a compliment, actually!
At what point did you "reclass" from PJs? Did you have a career-ending injury?
"Reclassed" means he couldnt hang. I went through the "pipeline" for CCT...talk about an a$$whuppin! One seperated shoulder later, and I was watching planes rot...could have been worse.
A lot of guys were "recycled" or dropped all together that were in my Ranger class. Some due to injuries (recycled), but most just didn't have the mental strength to block out the pain of Ranger school and just called it quit's. Call me lucky or call me a bad-ass, either way I made it through the first go around. Either way, I'm a Ranger, and always will be.
pretty much what JohnE said, but mine was a hernia (looked like a third nut). just when i pretty much put all that behind me, i'm watching discovery channel & my bunkie (kubik), who i always crushed in all parts of the physical evals (except for running) & another ex-team member ware spotlighted for an hour on the discovery channel for some balkan "incident" involving some pretty heavy stuff.
after some googling, he's apparently still a CC: http://www.specialtactics.com/f16rescue.shtml
but i still have both my knees (minus one medial meniscus)
the medial meniscus is a crutch, ha, fvck that. ive never blow out a knee, but i hear its some of the wost pain you can ever experience
I wouldn't worry too much about what N8 says. His whole military career consisted of changing light bulbs. The closest he got to a weapon was a butter knife in the mess. He did however enjoy showering with other men when the chance arose.
I was never in the Aussie Army, no.
Much more gnarly than the Banzai Pipeline. At least you didn't become an "Airborne Bus Driver", which was the joke in '82 somewhat based on reality for those who quit while in the pipeline. Medical disqualifications were another matter, especially if they had already completed the Combat Control Operator course at Keesler. They usually ended up in a tower, or as a scope dope. Then again, ATC school eliminated all of those "jocks" without a brain, or the ability to multitask. Because of ATC, I'd wager CCT is the toughest to get into academically.
Both PJs and CCT are completely volunteer career fields, meaning anyone can get out any time they wish to. Medical disqualifications after completing training and during a career are sometimes the cause for reclassification or even early retirement.
when i blew it out, i redefined what "crying like a little bitch" meant. i gained a better appreciation for people who use power tools to implement torture at the joints.
now that you've all seen my fleshy vagina, on to a good AF slacker story:
for a solid year ('97-ish), i was changing light bulbs & rearranging furniture & cubewalls while my unit was being decommissioned. took 2 hr lunches at the gym & had nerf-o-lympics of varying types. applied for separation 3 times & was rejected b/c my AFSC of programmer was a specialty with a re-enlistment bonus.
good times.
You're almost as dumb as this..... almost...This is the only use the Aussie rmy would have for you. Actually it's quite a good likeness, complete with mangina and all.
Looks flexy.
horray for sham jobs. the military just wouldnt be the same without them.
