Remember, this is pre-micro brew times...Beer? What kind?
I almost punched out a Lt(jg) once ..... he was trying to make strafing runs on underage landing strips.....;^)I don't even want to start with my getting in trouble in the military stories...
So you remained a plausibly personally reliable person? I had to research the PRP program - I had never heard of it.I never got into trouble.....
I never got caught, anyway
Curling your moustache withn non government spec wax?I don't even want to start with my getting in trouble in the military stories...
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!So you remained a plausibly personally reliable person? I had to research the PRP program - I had never heard of it.
Heh heh. and they gave me a SAW.the government has this weird hang up about putting us ADD types around "special"weapons.
(Right...you wouldnt know the truth if it kicked you in the balls. I always love DoD idiots and contractors who know what we do better than we do. Now go clean out my toilet. SeeBees are plumbers, right?)truth hurts.
HAHA!!!(Right...you wouldnt know the truth if it kicked you in the balls.
we have a saying here in our design firm...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...
At what point did you "reclass" from PJs? Did you have a career-ending injury?before i reclassed from pararescue into computer programmer (1991)
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.At what point did you "reclass" from PJs? Did you have a career-ending injury?
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 experiencebut i still have both my knees (minus one medial meniscus)
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.So N8, you are on RM on government time? Nice...someone get an irate taxpayer on the line!

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."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.
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.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
This is the only use the Aussie rmy would have for you. Actually it's quite a good likeness, complete with mangina and all.I was never in the Aussie Army, no.

horray for sham jobs. the military just wouldnt be the same without them.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.
