The Difference Between The Services

You're right Alan. But there are also those days when things are just not going so well, and a polite "Hello" will set your blood boiling and want to tell everyone to "f*ck off." Hell, see the banter between Dan and myself. Normal folks would have told us to piss off long ago. But it's cool....... right up until one of us has a bad day and the Beast is perched in all its glory on your left shoulder. (Actually he has more material than I do, makes me think they had more time on their hands or something else is amiss.)

Hell Alan, on our worst of days chocolate cake with ice cream followed by a nap followed by the Spice Girls giving out free sex lessons doesn't even manage to turn it around.

I spent time in both the Marines 1st Force Recon then in the Army 2nd Ranger bn. The only ones I had issues with were the Navy SEALS...I mean, I had friends who were SEALS, but they would sure crack jokes on us and when we joked back they got their panties in a bunch. My gf has a "friend" who was a SEAL and got all pissy when she called his hat a dog bowl...THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE CALLED! He was SO damn pissed off...and they get all the glory...my gf had NO idea what Force Recon was before she met me, but of course knew the SEALS. I was there during Blackhawk down...no mention of the Marines in that movie! Anyway...I think we're all Brothers and all of us get treated like crap from civilians when we get back. I respect all of my military Brothers and even though I will joke with someone I respect the hell out of them, (except my gf's bitch friend).

We keep telling you to 'f*ck Off' Wagon, but you keep coming back. You are almost as bad as Alan.

What a bitch. Shove that dogs bowl up his well greased...um...sorry. back to normal.
Stand up shuffle up stand in the door. You know the rest.
If being a glory hound is what its about yeah be a seal. I have to work with a few and I have the same view. Delta was pretty standoffish as well.
I spent some time with the French Foreign Legion. Nice guys. They would make the Seals into a trained pet. Those guys were the toughest I ever knew of. Scary guys.
The best were the Royal Marines. Friendly, nice and hard working.They understood the idea of proper teamwork.

OMG Jimmy! I almost pissed myself I laughed so damned hard! Its nice to know others pick on Wagon as well.....I would hate to think its just me giving it a go.
Wagon is like having a whining little sister. its cool to pick on him but god help anyone else who gets an idea...

 

[Wagon]

Thanks, It's always good to receive honest appreciation.

I shall now take off this bothersome skirt and retire to my princess bed with my barbie doll and blankie. And thank god the Marines are protecting me as I slumber.............You bastards!!!!

 

[Jimmy1]

Its the bar, we just have to remember that.

 

[reddevil1111]

Shall I tuck you into your hello kitty blanket? Did you remember to use your dora the explorer toothbrush?
You better behave or we will watch Jaws 1-2-3- and 4 again...you scurvy pirate! ARRRGH! :devilish:

Hey Red...I wanted to join the French Foreign Legion but found out that you couldn't see your family for 7 years. I was already a "dead beat kid" anyway only seeing them about 2 times a year. I was actually in training to become Delta when I broke my back in a parachute accident. The SEALS...hey, I respect them, but my gf's "friend" acting like a jerk because of the "dog bowl" comment set me off. He's now a contractor...how that little girl can do that job is beyond me. He's a medic...that is the ONLY thing I respect about him, otherwise he's a twat. What your rank when you got out devil? That's my gf asking not me...she's a nosey pain in the ass.

 

[reddevil1111]

I was a staff. I was busted one rank for striking an officer(he really did have it coming)
6.5 years in was held over for the first gulf war for 2.5 years. I was a hard charging green machine up to the end of the war....I watched a lot of other guys going home and I was told to stay. That took a lot out of me. I was an 0231
