Guns, how in hell a mud marine ever found his way into a blue suit and onto a flight line would no doubt be an entertaining story.. especially since yer rostered for Ejection Seat prep and maintenance...
..it's GOTTA do the Chairforce good.
And there's always the outstanding fact that should a Air Force Flyboy ever need a well-timed supremo kick in the bellybutton to get him even higher, it was a mud marine that made it happen.
LOL..
still cracks me up.
'Aim High, my assss.... EJECT EJECT EJECT'
basicaly it went down like this.
Gunslinger was a Marine and got honorably discharged in 2001. Now that I was free from the corps I went against better advice and started a family. Then this small event called 9/11 happened.
I got recalled to active duty to support "enduring freedom" for nine months. Then was discharged. Turns out my job was dissolved while I was on my little active duty vacation. So this is now 2002 and we all remember the economy back then, I had 4 mouths to feed and no job whatsoever. (side note: I wasn't without my pride but I was willing to take just about anything to include Arbys and Mc D's. I honestly to this day feel I was never hired at blockbuster because I failed the psyc eval they make you take)
SO here I am at a recruiting office cause HEY a family needs to be fed. THe Marines wanted to reduce me in grade to E-3 with E-4 in 6 months (after being an E-5 for a year) AND they wanted to make me a Field Radio Operator. I politily told the SSgt to go screw himself and walked accross the hallway. I figured how hard could the USAF be. What's funny is we had 3 Marines 1 Navy and 1 Army prior service just in my shop alone. And that boys and girls is the story of how the Gunslinger found himself in the Air Force. Eitherway I got 10 years down with 10 more to go.
