hey raub, is that the outfit out of PA?....those c130 guys are like the most deployed unit on the planet. They came down during my techschool to give us a tour of the plane and try and recruit us to their guard unit. I really wanted to do it.

Got AWACS instead.

Yep, that's the one. They do Psy Ops, fly around in C130s dropping leaflets, broadcasting TV and radio, etc.

usn. youre army? i really liked having "our" sts guys. great way to do it i think they got really tight with us one of our platoons even had the sts guys listed on the platoons deployment plack. the ksk oic with the bottles of whiskey or bourbon or whatever it was that guy was awesome. "okay i have one spare bottle for the men enjoy!". one hour later-"okay this is really the last spare bottle dont spill!". one hour later-"no im sure this is the last bottle none are left!".

Yep, Army.

Yeah we grew attached to our sts guys too.

How about all the Steak, Lobster, and Crab legs running around that place? Never ate so good in my life. They actually choppered that stuff out to the Firebase. We were covered in it.
Felt guilty callin home on the Satphone, talkin to the wife, and her saying how I must miss a home cooked meal....as I wiped the butter off my chin.

See, that’s why I called you an ultra melon. Your starting whole new stupid threads to try and get one up on a guy 30 years younger, and you actually believe it will make you look better.
