We're proud of being an airborne unit as "small" of an accomplishment as it is, its better than being a leg. Being proud and having a sense of pride is different than bragging, I dont know why you have to come down negatively and then act like you werent being so while still saying you think I'm bragging. I have integrity and honesty, I don't lie to people about what I do nor do I parade around with it, whens its asked I tell people what I do with a sense of pride but without being boastful, I was hoping some of my other airborne would sound off back to me, but you take it as me acting like I have a viet. badge on my class A's
I'm sure there's a big disconnect between my brain and my physical capabilities at 38.90YO. PT is not a problem, but I'm sure recovery time would be under duress...I'm just past the prime for goin back..... in age , but mostly in body. couldnt handle it anymore.
Nice tat Stkr00, a bubble head eh?? Nice, rough duty I hear....

Ok-- r...e...a....l... slow... It wasn't a bash against getting you or anyone else getting your wings, the gist of the comment was that the selection, training, and schooling for SF is MUCH MUCH more difficult.. if you went thru SFAC/QC, then indeed your wings are a minor achievement RELATIVE to YOUR other achievements. Now ur in an airborne unit... awesome-- great-- gratz...
"Being proud and having a sense of pride is different than bragging, I dont know why you have to come down negatively and then act like you werent being so while still saying you think I'm bragging."
It was a JOKE that I would think obvious to one who supposedly spent so much time at Fort Bragg.... which you would of gotten... comprende? di ba? jue de?. One does make assumptions based on initial statements... You said Active army, you said SF, and your in FLA.
SF folks in FLA are in 3rd battalion 20th SF group , which is National Guard, not Active Army.
"but you take it as me acting like I have a viet. badge on my class A's"
not at all-- if you took it that way, thicken up that skin soldier.
Ohh cache-- tis not defensive... sometimes army folks need a little more connecting of the dots to get it...
btw you army boys aren't the only ones with wings.
ThanksNice tat Stkr00, a bubble head eh?? Nice, rough duty I hear....
What unit were you with in the Seabees?? I was in NMCB 25 after I switched rates from CTR to EO after I got out of Active Duty.
Who said AF is the brains of the ops?? Maybe for the Army, but the Navy is the brains + support for the jarheads. Being a NUG still, I'm sure you didn't know that though.
Thanks Snake.stkr-- sweet tattooo !
everyone--
While we on the topic-- anyone on active recruiting duty think they may lift the age restrictions anytime soon?
I ain't gettin any younger and the corps chuckled and swatted me away last time I got a little fire in my eyes and told 'em I wanted back in. Actually he bought me a coke, chewed the fat for 10 minutes, and then said "sorry snake... now let us get back to these fat body 17 year olds..."
