Bagram Batman
I remember the “Energy Rapper” on AFN in the eighties who rapped about how we should save the military money “I’m the energy rapper and I’m here today telling people in the Army what I have to say, turn it off turn it down ’cause it’s comin’ around when the energy’s gone there’ll be none to be found.”
But, now that military has discovered YouTube, they have more imaginative characters, like Bagram Batman;
I’m thinking that Bagram Batman is a graduate of the Sergeant Major Academy. There’s also this one about being in war and not carrying your weapon;
Who goes to Afghanistan and doesn’t want to carry their weapon?
There are more public service announcements starring the caped sergeant major at DVIDS. Thanks to Chip for the link.

Bagram needs Terry Tate….
Keep reminding me how much I miss those AFN commercials…NOT.
That was the shittiest part of watching the Super Bowl if we were lucky enough to be in port (usually Yoko.)
Embarrassing……
Who are Bagram Batman’s enemies? Two face, the Joker and Mr. (Spending) Freeze are all to be found in the ranks.
With apologies to the late Jack Buck: “I don’t believe what I just saw.”
Those. Truly. Sucked.
I find this in very poor taste. The best videos that were made were This Old B-Hut and The Camp Phoenix Markmanship Program, where they shot the clearing barrel instead of paper targets.
Bagram Batman’s only real enemy is the SEQUESTERER!!!!!
I’ve got “This Old B-Hut” on my laptop, that was made while I was at Camp Phoenix. Those guys at The Alamo next to KMTC came up with some good stuff!
I always wanted to find “The Energy Rapper” and beat him to a pulp. The crappy salute and the crappy marching, along wiht the cap pushed back off his forehead really torqued me.
The second one sucked and was funny at the same time. The funny part was where the private was wrapped up with his weapon. Sounds like an effective teaching tool to me.
I don’t know which one is sadder, the video or the fact that they had to make the video.
the thing is you all remembered the corny crappy spots you guys are bashing… and the thing is…. the fact that you all remembered them is the WHOLE POINT!!!
@8 was informed they made that video not to long before I arrived on Phoenix. I still laugh watching that video and it stands true on how awful those things were. Even worst when somebody thought concrete floors would be better.
Holy Crap!! I can’t stop laughing! Am I the only one who thought that SPC was about to bust out laughing? Seriously, somebody has WAY TOO MUCH time on their hands.
Navalized –
I guess people get bored on BAF…
