You need a laptop, my friend. 


I do, but even if I did have one, I can't take it to work. 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.

The National Guard is worse than the Army, from what I hear.

only if you like keeping all your limbs attached and not being run over by some weekend warrior who thinks driving a tank is fun

Unfortunately, mine is weekend and weekday, and I'm rather tired of it.  I want my weekends back and want to grow my beard back as well.

But you volunteered, didn't you? Also, is it a full time job or are you mobilized?

Yeah I volunteered (thanks for reminding me). 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.

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

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.

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...

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...

Status: offline 		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!
