Who "Is" or "Was" in the Military

[Warrior58d]

Okay okay...so I am partial to the Army since I am in that service and I am TRULY sorry if I offended anyone’s fragile sensitive side. If you could though please post where, when, and any good war stories.

Air Force BeeeYoootch!!!  Yeah your best fuggin friends when your told to move forward into an area that’s been pounded into oblivion for a month or two...  Talking shid, fugging Leg, Knuckle Draggin Grunt Bunny Mo FO...

Now go learn to spell "Truly" T-R-U-L-Y... I know I know, Hard to type and think at the same time...  It's OK...

BTW it's called Air Superiority, Top Cover if you will, if it we don't own the skies, all your little Tanks, all you Helo's, and your field pieces are worth about bobo...    

I'm just screwing with ya...  You figure the Army is sort of like Harley Davidson, you have high hopes when you join, then slowly realize that a cruel joke has been played on ya!  With the Air Force, you join up, get trained in whatever HI-Tech field your after, then realize slowly that for the most part it's a 9-5 job with a Hair Cut... Sorta Cool... Sorta rough though...  Especially when TDY at a Double Tree or Marriot...

All that being said, I served four years active duty.  Spent 6 months at Ft. Mead going to school. Then did a 6-month stint in the Sand Box with the 5thMOB, Then Finished up at STRATCOM.  

Seriously, either one without the other is a pretty risky venture, together they have proven twice recently that they are freaking unstoppable.  Can I get a Hooah

[ridercoach]

USAF, 94-96. C-141 Crew Dog, then LE after CC got old...Served ass end of the storm, and traveled the world.

BTW, Who has the best food, best golf courses, best housing?

USAF of course, why may you ask. Because in order to keep the most intelligent branch happy you must supply a level of living that they are deserving of.

How many of you Knuckle grinders, squids, and Jar Heads never tried to go out of your way to eat at an AF base? Come on now, if you ever did any real time you went out of your way to eat AF.

I'm just busting you all up, No matter what we say, we all watch, respect and protect our brothers and sisters
