[Gpirelli]

I'm Active Duty in the Navy but getting ready to get out once my wrist surgery situation is over. I got hurt a year ago on the flight deck of the USS Nimitz while underway; got blown down by the exhaust of an F/A-18. Did two deployments; first on USS Carl Vinson; we were the first to strike in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, and did the last 8 month deployment on the USS Nimitz in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I fly in the S-3B Viking (the one president Bush flew in).

 

[Revlis]

a**hooooah ... what is that???

OOOOHHHHHH  RRRAAAHHHHH

EEERRRRRRR

I will admit, Airforce guys are baby'd... Chow is good to go... Steak and eggs everyday and a full breakfast bar ... come on now...

 

Hell when I got to Ft. Meade I was in shock... All these dudes in green up at freakin 0530 running and jumping and screaming... Wow... Hell I still hade an hour of sleeping to get done... And the Chow, that was when I realized that the AF did have good chow. At least we know why you do not see a whole lotta oversized Soldiers... Unlike Some other forces...

HELL I was living in a tent for six months in the Mideast, but I'll be damned if I didn't get a fresh made-to-order omelet every morning... Oh and a T1 in the tent... Heh... But you all forgot one key thing, the real reason everyone wishes they were Air Force at one time or another... The fine fine women... More hotties in the Air Force...

Actually in my opinion, no one is more capable and ready at any given time to go kick the Sheeoot outta whomever than the USMC. Full spectrum, Fast movers, Choppers, Beach or Jungle, LCACs, LHA's, You name it they got it. They can handle it all on their own, Close air Support, Artillery, Special Ops, Everything. And lets talk about the MEU's.

Yeah, Whole family were/are Marines. Dad, Grandad, His Dad... Yep... I was a huge dissapointment... I was signed up for Early enlistment USMC... Then Bailed and went to college instead. Pop's was pissed... Yeah, pissed that I went to school instead... Then I bought a crotch Rocket, then joined the A.F.... Yeah me and the old man, we are uh not real tight...

FIve Pins In your shoulder? Bah! Weenie! I got 4 little Titanium...Pin/Hooky things and about 4 screws... Oh yeah... I guess I was extended by 6 months so they could fix it up properly... Cool thing was that my Orthopedic Surgeon was a reservist, on his regular job he was University Of Nebraska Football Team's #1 Go to man in Sports injuries and Surgery... He did a damn fine job of putting my shoulder all back together... Woot!

 

[DaddyPhatSaks]

Dude, Sounds real familiar. Terms like Slap and Bankhart make my skin crawl.. So do you have that real nice looking set of scars you know, the three little ones from the initial scope, the big ass one in front running from top of should to armpit, and lastly the lil collection of suture scars?

Oh and the best part, walking outta the Hospital with a monster wad of foam tape like stuff all over your shoulder and insane pain lightly tempered with good drugs for about 2 weeks?

Yeah, brings back real nasty memories, like needing help getting dressed, and taking a shower... Weee!!! Sucks..

Sorry for the Hi-jacking ya'll....

 

[DaddyPhatSaks]

yea took me 8 months to recover i was in immobilizor*(spelling*) for 6 weeks couldnt take a shower !!!!! as for scars just have four scars where the went in arthroscopicly* well anyway still remember some night after i got out of the brace sleeping on the wrong side and waking up in soooo much pain it was tough my surgeon said shoulders are the hardest to recover from glad its been 2 1/2 3 years since the right shoulder surgery and have really no probs other than knowing when it is going to rain lol and some scar tissue but i wont let them go back in there !!!!!! yea i apologise to for hi-jackin tha thread

 

[banditoo]

1987 - 1991, infantryman Canadian Airborne Regiment - CFB Petawawa

They went with songs to the battle, there were young.
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
There were staunch to the end against odds uncounted.
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
We will remember them.
