  • Memorial Day...


    If you can't see it, its at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsUuLl1rxj0


     


    This is a montage of the majority of the U.S. soldiers killed during Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. This is a tribute to their sacrifice. I encourage you to take the time and sit through the entire 10 minutes of the film.


    Kudos to you if you threw up after the end of this clip, like I did.  But that's only because I actually recognized a few people in there that I once knew a lifetime ago and had the honor of serving with.

  • Barfights? Never gets old.

    Seriously, worst barfight I've gotten into during my entire career, not to mention my whole life.  I always say that I'm probably too old to be doing any kind of juvenile shit like barfights-- but when you watch as your 45 year-old Gunny throw down the best of which I've never seen before.... well, you know you still have much to learn from the old wise Gunny.


    Well, they started it, we simply finished the fight and got them all arrested.


    Oh yeah.... have you ever seen anyone get tasered in real life?  I mean *in person*, not some Youtube shit.  A dude flopping on the ground either curled up in the fetal position screaming like a bitch, or flopping around doing the Funky Chicken while pissing their own pants.  HI-LA-RI-OUS, I tell you.


    I'm just saying, as long are you're not on the recieving end of the taser, behind bars, and having to explain yourself to your CO the next morning, I'd say you just survived another fun weekend and have another awesome story to tell.


    Except for that bruise on the back of my head.... that's just painful.
