You need a laptop, my friend.  [8D]

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. [8|]

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[:'(]

[Mike Solli]

LOL the worst training accident I can have here is a paper cut. [:D]

[bobogoboom]

ok guys we need to concentrate on getting to 1k on the thread so we can switch to this one full time.

[Mike Solli]

I used to like driving APCs.  Haven't driven one in about 10 years though....

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). [:D] 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?

[DuckofTindalos]

Why do you think we call him Major Mike?

[Historiker]

Do you think I read any posting here? Do you think I read THE THREAD before posting in it? Does everyone write my rank when posting?

[Mike Solli]

I'm an army type.  I love mud. [:D]

[DuckofTindalos]

And on that note, I take my leave. Shame on you for turning your back on THE THREAD so quickly...[:-]

Me too. Arty. Hated mud though, and rain, and dust, and heat, and cold, and bugs, warm beer and alphabetical-rats, ugh!

[Historiker]

Me too. Mountain Armoured Recce
Initially, I wanted to fly.. [:(]

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.

[Historiker]

Well... Hmm.. Ääääh...

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...

[USSAmerica]

Historiker, even a Private or Seaman Recruit in the Armed Forces deserve their recognition!  Thank you for serving and helping to preserve freedom!  [8D]
 
(10 years enlisted in the USN here [;)] )

So, is this notorius thread open to all, or do you have to pass some grognard-test? [;)]
