Something about security.... Have you tried explaining that you're in the National Guard, not the actual US Army?[:'(] yeah but training accidents are already a million times higher in the guard than the army[:'(]. so they can't have them distracted any more.[:'(]

Mike Solli -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/27/2009 8:16:36 PM)
LOL the worst training accident I can have here is a paper cut. [:D]

bobogoboom -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/27/2009 8:17:17 PM)
ok guys we need to concentrate on getting to 1k on the thread so we can switch to this one full time.

Mike Solli -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/27/2009 8:17:42 PM)
I used to like driving APCs. Haven't driven one in about 10 years though....

[:D] I've been in for 21 years and full time the past 6, including a mob. I actually loved it but am ready to move on to bigger and better things..... and the wife unit wants the beard back.

Are you an officer? Which parts of the National Guard are full time? Service and administration?

Terminus -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/27/2009 8:31:21 PM)
Why do you think we call him Major Mike?

Historiker -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/27/2009 8:35:36 PM)
Do you think I read any posting here? Do you think I read THE THREAD before posting in it? Does everyone write my rank when posting?

Mike Solli -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/27/2009 8:36:52 PM)
I'm an army type. I love mud. [:D]

Terminus -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/27/2009 8:40:58 PM)
And on that note, I take my leave. Shame on you for turning your back on THE THREAD so quickly...[:-]

Historiker -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/27/2009 8:54:34 PM)
Me too. Mountain Armoured Recce Initially, I wanted to fly.. [:(]

quote: ORIGINAL: Historiker Me too. Mountain Armoured Recce Initially, I wanted to fly.. [:(] Woof! I think I, too, would rather want to fly through the mountains, than run armour through them. Mountain Armoured Recce is a whole new concept for me. Fascinating, Historiker! But then, I really do love those interesting bits and pieces that another country developed. So how should we address you with your rank? I am all in favor of giving a man his due.

Historiker -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/27/2009 9:21:44 PM)
Well... Hmm.. Ääääh... Obergefreiter aka Senior Lance-Corporal Just a conscript which I regret from time to time [:(] I wanted to volunteer for 12 years officer-career when I decided to look at it first. Being in the army, I broke my hand and was off for a considerable time. When all was fine again, I was already studying. Now I'm too old for even the reservists career [:(] On the other hand, I might go back with the rank of at least Captain with a university degree, but free market offers MUCH better income and Germany doesn't respect its soldiers. I'd rather volunteer now for the US-Forces or the IDF (which I can't, no Jew) as they respect their soldiers...

Historiker, even a Private or Seaman Recruit in the Armed Forces deserve their recognition! Thank you for serving and helping to preserve freedom! [8D] (10 years enlisted in the USN here [;)] )

Grollub -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/27/2009 9:26:24 PM)
So, is this notorius thread open to all, or do you have to pass some grognard-test? [;)]

Terminus -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/27/2009 9:27:25 PM)
Yeah, let's not be dissing the ordinary dog-face here. We actually worked for a living.

USSAmerica -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/27/2009 9:27:59 PM)
Grollub, anyone who does not take themselves too seriously is very welcome! [:)]

Grollub -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/27/2009 9:30:10 PM)
Thanks, then I don't need to worry [:)]

Historiker -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/27/2009 9:30:11 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: USS America Historiker, even a Private or Seaman Recruit in the Armed Forces deserve their recognition! Thank you for serving and helping to preserve freedom! [8D] (10 years enlisted in the USN here [;)] ) I even volunteered for Afghanistan as I support the deployment there. How can I support sending other guys there without being willed to do it myself? They didn't want me. My unit goes to Bosnia, that was offered. But what would I want there? So I rejected...

quote: ORIGINAL: Grollub So, is this notorius thread open to all, or do you have to pass some grognard-test? [;)] it is open to all so long as you can deal with the insanity[:D]

Grollub -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/27/2009 9:32:17 PM)
Historiker, maybe you should've gone to Bosnia. Sad to say, but things are heading in the wrong direction there (again) [:(]

Historiker -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/27/2009 9:37:00 PM)
maybe, but neither does it count on me there, nore have I ever supported the deployment there. So no reason. Especially no when the perspective is to be commanded by a stupid guy without any literacy that's 5 years younger - while I write my docter's thesis... Sorry, I'm too snobbish for something like that - especially as I know which guys usually form the ranks that'd command me there!

Grollub -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/27/2009 9:40:04 PM)
Since you have obviously thought this out, I respect your decision.

Historiker -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/27/2009 9:43:33 PM)
Have you been there?

Grollub -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/27/2009 9:48:45 PM)
Actually no. But I've served in Kosovo. Also, the last two years of my service in the Swedish Armed Forces, I worked at our Joint Forces HQ/J5 branch/Balkans desk. I have just quit that job though and started as a teacher at our national defence college instead.
