I've seen the hell they put those poor saps through.  

Wouldn't wish that fate on a republican.  :D

They're going to have fun with him . I wonder if he will be regretting his decision when they pull him out of his bunk in the middle of the night, slap some goggles on his head hand him a trash can lid and start pitching beer bottles and toejam at him from the end of the hall. Or when he's hanging upside down in a tree "koalafying" . Oh well maybe pondering it will keep his blood warmer in one of his hypothermic episodes .

Its easy to measure a man by his actions.

Pat Tillman=  Man
bill clinton= Pimple on the countries ass.

You can put some of the guys in this thread, on bill"s side of the list.

If he wants to join the army that's great, if he wants to go SF even better ! If that is the case that he wants to go SF then going through RIP and the 75th is a bad move IMO.  Anyone who has worked around rangers understands why some of us scoff . I've known some great guys from the 2nd bat. and they all had two things in common: they were out of the 75th, and they had NO desire to go back .

75th is a great unit... heh. The smoke that is laid upon cherries can be seen from miles away. Grass drills for hours on end is something special. Having a room torn to sh*& every morning is as well.

This motivates you to goto Ranger School where your on vac from Battalion... ;)

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

Hehe...basic is kiddie school to Battalion... its a place where you have moments of extreme fear just from PT.... LOL!!!! Team PT is the worse. Odds are your team leader will be some GD lond distance champ w/a hard-on for 5 min miles over 6 miles or something crazy.

The weekend "Volunteer" ruck runs are good for you as well. And dont forget a line in the Creed during PT. You'll be climbing that tree upside down till your head explodes and then its the dieing cock roach for your slug ass... LOL

You know samm, I may be a sorry sonofasqueak, but I met a guy from the 2nd in NYC in a bar where 6 weeks after sept. 11 you could still smell the WTC.  He was a regular in there and had been in grenada, panama and iraq, and at the least had a round metallic object.  Trained to be a cook, and from my conversation with him knew his culinary toejam.  He was damn critical of the "mission" in Afghanistan and the whole prospect of fighting with folks who've been fighting in those mountains for their whole lives.

Did I mention the guy was reenlisting?

Why do you think that you may be a sorry son of a squeak ? And isn't that guy to old to enlist if he was in Grenada ?

Heh. I was a little drunk at the time -- started talking about what a crime it is to overcook/overgarnish a duck breast, and some time later the bartender asks him about his quitting his job and heading back up.  So npothing I say can hold up in court -- he may have been there; he may be too old.  Oh yeah, and he had these huge tattooes from sniper school or something. I figured if they weren't genuine someone would have removed them and the forearm they were attached to.

Oh yeah, and the email's sent.
