Yep
FIRST (Not really)
First open declaration of being First.
You numbah one, GI.
The proper ruling will follow from 2/17 Air Cav shortly.
Until then, bask in the glory.
It’s OWB. This ruling is final and is not subject to appeal or reconsideration.
Dang! Ya beat me below by one minute. Crap!
Had you posted the words prior, mine would still have been highest in the thread. Hah!
Neener, neerer, nee-ner…
What you don’t understand is you just posted TOP SEKRET North Korena NDtBF Missile photographs that were taked by a well known Navy Photographer, behind the lines TS/SCCI that were only to be viewed by President Trump.
It’s going to be the beginning of False Flag for WWIII.
You blew the WHOLE THING!!!!
😉 😀
Why does that and the one with the coconut look like bad prints of surveillance photos?
Oh, no! Someone forgot to use a plastic bag when he went to Ace! The horror! Think of the dinosaurs! They could step on that stuff!
Fat fingered the report post button. Disregard.
Is that a drunk South Park Canadian?
The False Commander Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics) still refuses to provide clarification of his Native American, Law Enforcement and Navy SEAL claims.
In the end, most people just see him as a scuzzy, dishonest ball-working dude.
And rightfully so.
Maggot.
If he’s gonna keep claiming to be a SEAL, he better start by procuring a better graduation certificate, because the one he keeps waiving around is cartoonish.
GREEN…I have absolute proof that he’s a Seal. I know that its hard to admit you were wrong, but its time GREEN…
We all saw him and Bernath tossing the red ball to each other on their noses at Sea World in Florida. Slapping their flippers together after they got their fish treat is what the Seals did. I saw it with my own eyes and still wonder how long it took to train them…..Oh crap, I’m so SORRY GREEN, I just saw the word NAVY…my bad, he is a lying piece of ?
“In the end, most people just see him as a scuzzy, dishonest ball-working dude.”
So he’s got that going for him, which is nice…
Is that yet another photograph of the vandalism that occurs on Mr. Bernath’s property on a regular basis?
Or just a general statement of everyday life?
Damn…ya think he’d have his driveway redone. Oh, I almost forgot, he doesn’t have clients to STEAL FROM.
PROUD, hire him to watch your place so you, Grog and me can hang out more. I love traveling with you guys and the helicopter rides are just awesome. I still can’t believe that you never told me Grog could fly and with a FULL TANK OF FUEL ?
87th again!!!! And proud of it!!!! 🙂
Another Friday is here and it’s time for my weekly shout out to Dickless Daniel Bernsatypants and his buttbuddy, QuEeFeRs!!! Still sweating it out down in Flrida waiting for the POPO to come knocking on your door and take you away to the funny farm? There’s a perp walk in your future and new friends named Bubba, Thor, Julio and Mr. “Tiny” looking forward with open arms to making your stay in the local poundyouintheass jail a memorable experience!
No open has declared “First!” It is apathy? Is it indifference? Did everyone expend their daily allotment of give-a-shit? This is the WOT is it not? Inquiring minds…
HAHAHA we posted this at the same time…dagnabbit we’re more alike than not…now that might be a frightening reality AC!!
FIRST!!! First time I have seen the WOT so I lay claim to Number One!
It could have been just a one second difference, Sparks, if that makes you feel any worse!
I don’t know. Is beer involved?
That sounds like Lawn Dart Danny’s “forever home.” Eat shit Bernath and DullAss Wittlessfariy.
How come nobody claimed first? I’m ninth apparently, was there a memo about not claiming to be first this week CHIP?
Daniel A. Bernath the Fred Phelps clone and the rest of The Dutch Rudder Gang STILL hasn’t found me yet! ? oh, and QuEeFeRs/*SLUUUURRP!*41? Meh, he’s still the same impotent babbling roach turd he’s always been.
PROUD…
The ride in the Bell Ranger was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME and I just couldn’t thank GROG enough. It’s so much better than the one we had in law enforcement. I can’t believe he’s taking us up tonight to see the heat sensor and all the gadgets we didn’t have. See ya later…
PROUD, WRONG BUTTON! I am shocked that he didn’t even approach and accuse us of spying on him.
Pretending we were mentally disabled was a good idea…
Party was awesome! No drunks, new friends, fun ride with you and Grog. Tomorrow morning we roll me home. Let’s take our time, more friends I want you both to meet…
Damn I hate morons that wait until 0500 to post comments on awol washouts
Seriously WTF !!!!!
Did the door fall off the mailbox again?
Nope, I heard someone put a coconut in a potatoe gun and shot it off…
So I have a gun story I have been saving for you miscreants.
Even though I am married, I have been going by myself (because my wife is mean) to some neighborhood happy hour events lately that are organized via a Facebook neighborhood page. I behave myself, honest…keeping Gen. Petraeus in mind as a negative role model.
At one of the happy hours, I found myself talking to a very cute young Real Estate Agent, who is 12 years younger than me, single mom, and has a son the same age as on of my sons. A very nice gal… and I usually hate RE agents. A few days after our meeting, she posts on facebook asking for advice on where to take a Texas LTC class (license to carry), and she mentions that she probably first needs to take a prelim class regarding familiarization with the proper operation of her pistol.
So I sent her a message and said that, in a big brotherly type of way, I’d be happy to show her the proper operation of her pistol. I asked her if it was a revolver or semi-auto. She replied that it was a pistol that she had received as a result of her divorce…she didn’t know what it was, couldn’t remember how it worked, and was afraid to shoot it, etc. She said it had belonged to her ex-husband’s father or grandfather.
Then she sent me a picture of it, and wrote, “It says Colt US Army United States Property on the side of it.”
LOL. Colt 1911, hello! I haven’t seen it in person yet. I’m anxious to run the S/N. I warned her that there are people like SFC Lilyea out there that will try to talk her out of her old, probably worn out, pistol and I told her not to fall for it! I told her that we can probably write to Colt and get a historical document regarding the original sale/delivery and it might be something nice to have when she passes it on to her son.
The end.
You said Petraeus…hehehehe
I have a sad gun story. My mothers next door neighbor just sold a Luger pistol his father liberated from a German officer in WW2. Now the sad part all he wanted was $75.00. And I was not the recipient.
OUCH!!!
Same sad story here, but this was a pristine Walther PPK liberated from an SS officer that had no further use for it. The grandson needed a quick $100 to keep from being evicted.
It’s our family heirloom, something a relative took from a breathing Commandant along with his new born son. That story will be shared after next spring/summer
She got it in a DIVORCE??? Sir, I don’t give a sh*t if it’s the first 1911 ever made and in mint condition, ALARM BELLS and RED FLAGS should going off right about now. I wouldn’t go within a mile of her or her 1911. Think man, THINK.
OMG! Right PN! I am probably out gunned, after all… the tragic saltwater boating accident. Thanks for talking sense!
Live while you can Bro, die with a smile. I am afraid PN is right but life is too short as it is.
If you end up teaching her how to shoot, and if that pistol is worth something, I would talk her into using it as a range pistol and then have her get a Rock Island 1911.
The one my dad has is a real nail driver and was only $750
http://armscor.com/firearms/tac-series/tac-ultra-fs-45-acp/
A full size 1911 in .45ACP wouldn’t be my first choice as a beginner handgun for a lady.
Just me, YMMV.
Yeah, we talked about that. She’s not real eager to carry that arm cannon in her purse, but she does want to get comfortable with it. Also I think it will really be important to her son one of these days. Meantime I encouraged her to try out smaller frames and calibers. I celebrate diversity, if you know what I mean.
I have no idea what’s in your fun box, but I have a Ruger MKIII Target (stuffed with Volquartsen goodies) that I use for a trainer/target/plinker. I celebrate diversity, too. The good kind. Teaching firearm safety is rewarding in and of itself. I doesn’t hurt at all if the student happens to easy on the eyes.
I bought one of those in 1996. Stainless with a shaved bull barrel and target grips. It provided hours and hours of fun while I was on fishing boats in AK. I haven’t shot it much lately. Thanks for the idear!
GD…….I’ve got the same Colt. I looked up the #number, made in 1944 I’ve had it since 1971
My 1911 is a Johnny Cash “got it one piece at a time” one. When Dad died, my Bro (Army Ret) cleared out his stuff and found a bunch of random 1911 parts. He took them to a renowned armorer in the Dade City FL area and had him “make” me a 1911. What a jewel. Its better than me by far.
I had one of those! Colt barrel, and everything else looked like it came from a swap meet. Worked like a charm, every time. Sold it, unfortunately. Life lesson painfully learned; never sell a motorcycle or a firearm.
SJ……..mine was “combat lost” if you know what I mean! Sent it home in pieces, in a broken tape recorder. I stripped it down to the firing pin. Belonged to WO David Meyer KIA May of 71
Cool! You should get a cert.
http://www.coltautos.com/history.htm
This is my rifle. This is my gun. One is for shooting and one is for fun.
Beer before bullets.
That is the most common timeline. (smile)
Five Beers. Are you a bottle, glass (includes mug, pilsner and schooner) or can man? Do you prefer dark and warm to yellow and cold? Do you endorse a particular brand?
It’s beer. It’s good. What else matters?
Start with a Fosters oil can if you’re afraid, then head to the rest of the shelf. You can end up with a patriot or a goose or a blond in a dark skirt. Haven’t reached the connoisseur stage yet, but if there’s a beer tasting somewhere, I’m there. Long necks are good. Mugs are easier to hold. Pizza will clear the palate. What’s not to like?
I do recall the good ol’ days when you could play poker for beer. Whoever lost, bought the next round.
Thanks for asking.
Thought you might like this one, Five Beers. (smile)

That’s cool. Are you that Hobo fellah?
Don’t think so. I pay for a ticket when I travel by rail. (smile)
What kind of parents would name their child Five Beers?
Ones who didn’t have six beers, maybe … ?
No, my parents named me Goofus Amongus, but I didn’t like it so I use Five Beers now.
Five Beers, obviously your parents didn’t Consult TAH before choosing “Goofus Amongus” to tag you with. Had they only come here they would have seen that this name had been taken and is being used by the whole collective
DRG.
And, I hit the report button by accident.
I have to reply to this SJ. My dad, approached by a asshole would put out his left fist and say “see this” and as he hit the guy with the right one he says “THIS IS HIS BROTHER”.
I was pregnant with my first and he takes us to Roller Derby and a fella behind me said “shut you fucking whore” I was routing for my team, pop did the brother thing and knocked him out. Security helped the fella out of the arena….
I saw something today on the 1911 I’d never heard of but can’t find it now…maybe at Ace’s: soldiers in WW2 had clear grips made that contained/covered their spouse and/or girlfriend’s picture. Had a name for it, which also, I can’t remember. There was a picture of one.
I just googled it. “Sweetheart Grips”
A quick review of the allegedly innocuous contact with the attractive, younger woman:
“Even though I am married[…] I found myself talking to a very cute young Real Estate Agent, who is 12 years younger than me[…]. A few days after our meeting[…]she mentions that she probably first needs to take a prelim class […] so I sent her a message [saying that] I’d be happy to show her the proper operation of her pistol.”
Uh-huh. What sj said.
These young whipper snappers didnt catch that…you did. 🙂
Hahaha. Behold, lawyer word tricks. I am the good guy in this whole scenario. I promise! Always good to know you have my back.
Rule#34 No matter what you google, there will be porn. I lubbs da interwebz.
Very interesting pistol grips too, no double entendre intended.
I’ve only seen one pistol with the clear grips. The story I got was that the glass was actually made from aircraft plexiglass.

Oh this is a post for Lars’ statement declaring Berkeley a bastion of diverse political thought and that the perceived reputation it’s gotten is all a right-wing conspiracy. Anybody want to guess what university was ranked 24th? Anybody? Bueller… Bueller…
Well DAMN, ranked as more liberal than San Fo-foo State U!
It warms the cockles, whatever a cockle is, to see all the California schools on the list. Keep-it-weird UC Santa Cruz is a given, but it’s a surprise that Humboldt State students put down the bong long enough to vote…
You do not want to know what a cockle is and, if given the opportunity, you most certainly do not want to touch one.
Molly Malone knows what cockles are!
Alive alive O!
I think I saw Molly Malone during my Wild Rover years.
You have a phobia about edible bi-valves?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockle_(bivalve)
Or are we talking about two different things?
Well, you’re certainly talking about the edibles but the other half of this conversation isn’t. When it comes to the cockles to which we refer, just know to be very, very afraid.
Check the sample size, though. Texas A&M has a student population of 50,000, but only 175 bothered to answer their survey (probably all in the College of Liberal Arts). I’m quite certain the surveyors never went near the Quad, where the Corps of Cadets lives.
24th does not justify its reputation.
Sure, you fucking hack.
Nope. By reputation, I’d have guessed top 10 – easy. I’m surprised it barely made the top 25.
Sorry I have not been around much lately!
I have been organizing all my emails by font type and size!
Getting more emails from DullAss Wittlessfairy I assume.
No …
Buy popcorn though!
This sounds…..
….promising!
Putting in a call to my broker to invest in Orville’s stuff.
Buy popcorn? Hum….sounds like insider trading. I too will be buying stock in CORN…PLUS a crap load of snacks. Rule #1 Use the WC, no one pauses You Tube…waiting patiently…
I wonder, do they make AV Fuel from corn?
Okay, first glance I assumes that the WOT photo was a satellite photo of missiles being moved. Upon closer examination, I have determined that it is shrapnel from an IEC, Improvised Explosive Coconut.
Maybe it was dropped from a rogue helicopter flying by?
The trail the coconut left behind after falling out of a mailbox with no door??
NAAAH, I was thinking that next he’ll say that the coconut and screws were dropped from a helicopter flying overhead, thus he’ll be going koo-koo over ‘Copter coconuts and screws!!
I just read that. I bet the shithead will blame us cuz we took two rides today. Glad my video camera was on during both trips. I’m glad Grog told me not to spit on his house…tacky and unkept because he doesn’t have clients to rip off to pay a illegal to do his lawn. I bet he rips off his Attorney or his attorney quits because he’ll interrupt him during the trial. What a loser…
I thought maybe it was the Zika virus leaving the sperm factory.
Two one inch screws. Now if I was the patrol person who has been responding to the Bernath/Phelps 911 calls, taking it further, give a yell to my SGT to start a quick investigation and check the BASTARDS garage for similar screws.. I’m 159% sure he scattered the screws…asshole..
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make Daniel Bernath check his fuel levels before leaving the runway.
Enough gas in de plane’s fuel tank and it will fly much better . . . .
(smile)
HACK…You can’t get Bernath to do a damn thing because he’s so smart. I did get him to STFU…
All he does is sent me pictures and videos of Retired Navy Seal Don Shipley and his lovely wife. Not one word ?
I recognize that type of screw. They are the type that get removed from shoddy remodel jobs, by lowest bid remodeling contractors, who re use leaky Walmart bags to haul of the debris that they jerk out of the project houses. <Not to be confused with Housing Project houses, the likes of which a former lawer would never live in.
I too recognized the screws. Aren’t they the ones that dry wallers use? I know a bunch of building contractors who design and build million dollar houses.
Bernastys house is like low income area….yuk
Private Lopez has turned herself in.
That didn’t take long. I wonder if she had the spinal fortitude to do it herself or did some of her friends and/or family make her wake up and face the music?
Or perhaps not having her direct deposit paycheck hit the bank this past Monday woke her up to the gravity of the situation.
Not for sure (it has been quite a spell since I was in) but I do think all pay and allowances are suspended while a service member is being carried in an AWOL status.
In a White House press conference, President Obama said tat she served with honor and distinction.
YGBSM!
Nope, it really happened.
He went on to say, “if I had a hot white girl friend, she would look like Private Lopez”.
So what this means is that honor and distinction have been redefined by executive order?
That’s White-Hispanic, right, Master Chief? The new demographic invented by libtards to ‘splain the Trayvon Martin issue.
REALLY? Saying something like that is….???????
Too late! Thursday, she tripped over AWOL into deserter status. Rules are rules and they should be applied equally to all.
Well, everyone, I am officially out of a job today. I’ve got four and a half months of severance pay and about two months salary saved up so I’ll be job hunting and working on some of my own stuff to make ends meet.
Yay for this economic recovery boom we are experiencing thanks to Obama’s steady hand on the tiller of industry.
Best wishes and hopes to you my friend. I’m sorry to hear it.
Life happens 😀
I’ll find something. Work is out there, you just have to look for it.
What sort of work are you looking for? And where?
In all honesty, my particular set of skills is in computer animation, environmental modeling but I walked away from that when every job I went for was “Hey, you can work for us as an unpaid intern and maybe we will hire you in a year or two.”
So, I’ve been doing customer service and now I’m looking for a change so I’ll be testing for the local PD’s
You won’t be considered unemployed, just out of the market…gotta keep the unemployment #’s down ya know. Wish I could do something other than punch your TS card. Hang in there.
Right now Fox has Prezzie on saying how great the unemployment #’s are. Oh and a $10/barrel oil tax.
Yeah, saw that. He’s going to try anything to make sure we can’t get a break here.
I would say what I think of him, but I think we all know what that is already. Instead I will say I hold him at the same level of esteem that I hold Birdbath and Lars.
That high? Wow!
I’m trying to be nice.
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/02/04/white-house-wants-10-per-barrel-fee-on-oil.html
I think that is already dead before it arrives.
Don’t be so sure. The R’s have been awesome about rolling over and showing their belly at the smallest sign of pushback.
All it will take is Obama getting the press to say “The obstructionists in the Republican party today…”
Yes, because the economy isn’t already shitty enough.
If it’s any consolation at all, the only times I got significant pay raises was finding a new job. Use your network, and your new job now is finding your NEXT job. Best of luck, and I hope it works out for you.
I’m sure it will. No sense in being down about it, won’t change the situation. 😀
I do have a few lines on open positions that pay the same or better than I was making.
Going to be testing soon for Albuquerque PD, the Sheriff’s Department and Rio Rancho, so there are a number of irons in the fire.
Thanks for the well wishes, I intend to land on my feet and the severance will help with that.
Go for it!
Great..I have friends in Albuquerque… Ask Jonn for my email address. I have no clue who you are but I’ll take to friends.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Yeah, I talked to the recruiters and since my brother is on the department the first thing they said when they saw my last name was “You the LT’s brother?”
So yeah, I have some footsteps to follow in and live up to.
Work in law enforcement does not automatically negate your other skills:
http://www.fastcompany.com/1834589/chris-caufields-journey-nypd-detective-geico-gecko
Cool story, seems I’m going the other way.
One thing I have learned from my dad an brothers (all cops) is that there is no such thing as useless knowledge.
So true. I learned from my dad, a bunch from the department and still learn more at my age..Good luck..
Best of luck on the Albuquerque gig. Drop-dead gorgeous area with reasonable cost of living.
But if you get a job there, don’t trash your cold-weather gear. Though its in the US Southwest and in the desert, Albuquerque is at altitude
(nearly 7000′, if I recall correctly). Like Flagstaff, AZ, it gets fairly cold and snowy in the winter.Again, good luck.
(Edited to add: double-checked, and Albequerque is “only” a bit above 5300′. I was confusing it with Santa Fe and Los Alamos, which are at higher altitudes. Still gets fairly cold in the winter, though.)
Yep, I am well aware of that, I grew up here. Dad left NIS when I was six and move back home, which for him was Albuquerque.
We have lots of snow in the mountains right now but none in the valley, though it is still pretty cold out.
In the valley when we get snow it’s usually snow in the morning and melted by the afternoon.
Every time I read or hear “Albuquerque” I am reminded of the Jack Benny radio show, when the character of Rochester was first introduced.
Eddie Anderson, the actor, was playing a porter on a Pullman car when Mr. Benny would ask him when the train would get to Albuquerque. In that wonderful gravelly voice, Rochester would say, “There you go again, Boss, with this here Albee-kerkee. Now you know there ain’t no such place, Boss.”
Makes me laugh whenever I think about it.
On the original topic, best wishes to you, Instinct. I’m facing a similar possibility in my employment and I hope that, if things go south (as I pray they don’t) I’ll have the same great attitude you display.
All the best!
I would hope that you catch a break and find employment soon, I understand how you’re feeling. Use the time to better yourself, whether it is reading a good book or getting yourself in better shape for any physical fitness tests that the local PD/SD may require you to take.
Doing both. I have some new AutoCAD software that I am learning to use with my 3D mill and also doing two a day workouts – weights and run in the morning followed by T25 in the evening.
The AutoCAD is so I can make some custom grips that are just too difficult to make by hand. P225 grips for example – the backs on those are so wild there is no way to hand make that without driving yourself insane. So, I have tools!
I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you find something that you enjoy, are good at, and that pays well. Best of luck.
Thanks, I’m sure something will come up.
THE FAKERSBURG ADDRESS
Two score and some years ago my father brought forth on this continent, a new Giduck, conceived in stupidity, and dedicated to the proposition that all men could fake military service.
Now we are engaged in a great poser war, testing whether that Giduck, Monkress, Bernath or any poser so conceived and dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great website of that war with the Hondos, Infidels, troopers, and Taylors. We have come to dedicate a portion of that site, as a final resting place for those who here who never gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether shitty and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not defecate — we can not medicate — we can not hallow — this ground. The fake men, living and dead, who never struggled here, have never moderated it, far above their own poor and insecure power to add or detract from their yellow bellies. The world will little note, nor long remember what had been posted, said, and photographed here to get drinks, spacious decks, or government contracts, but it can never forget what’s been Googled here. It is for us the fakers, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who never fought here have thus far never nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here sufficated to the great task remaining before us — that from these dishonored fakers we take increased demotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of deception — that we here highly resolve that these fakes shall not have lied in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of “be dumb” — and that military service faked of the people, faked by the people, faked for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
sincerely
John “Faker 6” Giduck
I support the beer brigade. The phonies – not so much.
Nice work. Did you write it while on a train?
The only trains I’ve been in happened inside a truckstop men’s room.

Speaking of loose screws…
Have been curious about this for a while and decided to take advantage of WOT and ask:
When I go on TAH, whether it be by PC, Tablet or Smartphone, the first advertisement that I can’t help noticing is:
“MEN’S SPANDEX FUN WEAR…”
Does it have anything to do with this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2npO_Mg2DjI
😉
It auto loads based on your cache of previous web searches …
Just saying!
The ad I see is regularly is for discount ammo!
Sorry!
Mine has something or other to do with inflatables and dates by the half hour. Am I the only one?
I’d like to see discounts on ammo. Where are they? All I see is beer.
So THAT’S why I keep seeing ads for “Rent-a-Russian-Babe”!
Now you REALLY have me curious.
Been on TAH using not only a public library computer (when system was down in my home), but also when traveling out of state and using hotel’s computers.
And borrowing other folks Tablets and Smartphones.
And I never sign into anything except emails…and only on home PC.
And I see that same ad:
“MEN’S SPANDEX FUN WEAR…Sexy swim, sex wear for men and male chastity gear. Lingerie for men, male to female transformation. TWEET this!”
Never see a discount ammo ad. Nor the inflatables and dates by half hour (oh, dear God, the thought…the thought…not a good thought)
Thanks for the heads up.
With all of the mentions that spandex received since June 2013, when someone came here defending the honor of his boss in Merrit Island Florida, it was inevitable that a spandex retailer would want to advertise here.
BTW, we are coming up on the one year anniversary of my crackhead girlfriend getting whacked in North Philadelphia. Please leave your mailboxes open in tribute.
So that’s why I see popcorn, guns, assholes named Lars, DRG…etc?
I see cameras and I wonder why.
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Really!?
I haven’t searched for anything even remotely germane so that doesn’t compute. At all. More like crap software.
I want TAH WEAR…
I like this idea
Cleared my caches and now I am getting “ON LINE CONCEALED PERMITS Ads as well for Leather Holsters. That durn SPANDEX for Men simply won’t go away…Oh, well….
Does that dude always make drunken phone calls about nothing?
Sunday I’m going to the local VFW to watch the Super Bowl. My how time flies! Feb. 7th 1971 I arrived in Vietnam! Forty four years has gone by way to fast!
And your head will be on a swivel looking for fakers. :-). I know I do since TAH. Enjoy.
Same here. I think I’ve gotten fairly good at spotting the fakes. Some fakers don’t even try: 300 pounds with a SEAL cover; senior enlisted rate insignia and looking as if they crawled out of a dumpster. I sometimes try to start a conversation with those I believe to be a poser. From my experience, they come in two distinct flavors. They either are incredible vague about their ‘service’ being unable to recall when/where/etc. or run on at the mouth without being asked specific questions. I guess they believe if they impress me with volume, I’ll be satisfied. I really feel for some of these people, wondering what vacuum exists in their life that needs to be filled by a non-existent military career. I said some of the people; others are just jerks trying to impress. For those I have no sympathy.
I can actually smell them. Sometimes the hair on the back of my neck stands up.
But most of the time it is as simple as how they look and act!
Shit..your a damn PRO at spotting a Poser. I really wish I knew that they existed before I got screwed over… But, payback is a bitch. We now have enough to prove CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD BY DECEPTION, STOLEN VALOR and a dozen more crimes…
HOW do you get the stink out of your nose? My first decomposed body, the stink stayed in me for along time..spoiled meat I gag..
Steve, not to be a nit-picker or anything like that, but from 7 Feb 1971 to today would make the elapsed time 45, yes 45 years !!( Just to make you feel a little better)/Smile.
On this date 45 years ago, I had just picked up my “flyin ten” at Fort Campbell and had been marched to the Post Theater to eat popcorn and watch *Patton*.
PS: Both Killam and Gainey are still LSoS’s.
Claw: Hmmmm, 45 years..(doing math on a piece of paper, scribbling 1971-1956= 14 or 15, plus or minus)..SHOCKER! Gainey, the Vietnam Era Veteran and 3 NDSMs!!!! And the FIRST SEAC!!!! Wow, what an accomplishment. And probably goes around telling everyone “My Buddy, Killam, is a genuine Vietnam POW..let’s go help our fellow Brothers!” Hope they both read this and feel ashamed (in my dreams) of the DISHONOR they are showing you.
Let’s see: I was commissioned in June ’63 and retired from the Army in ’83.
Ironic because just today I was purging files in anticipation of down sizing and RV’ing full time. I came across my old Officer Efficiency Reports. Doing so I reflected on that I shoulda woulda made some career decisions because I could have been….
But had I put career first I would not have met my bride of 30 years (that passed way before her time in’13) and that led to my current bride that makes me so happy. I might have been a COL or a general. I’m more happy where I am now. No one I know gives a shit about what I “was”. They care about what I “am”.
SJ,
I have no clue who you are, but, because you served my adopted country via the Military service, I have love in my heart for you and everyone else on this site.
I was told long ago that you can’t like/love someone via letters and now via the internet without meeting them.
For the first time my dad was wrong ?
Ex…..me too, but I was a business major! So my math skills are a little lacking! Smile
Claw….Gainey and Killam will never post here! Gainey feels foolish. As for Killam, I can guarantee you he visits this site. He just does not have the BALLs to comment. He knows he would have his head handed to him! Sorry fuck that he is!
Forty five years ago my parents decided to move from Panama to Florida. I was five 😀
That’s 45 years, Air Cav. I was in college.
45 years ago I didn’t even have pubes.
Thanks for your service and if you flew out via Frisco I might of kissed on your right, left cheek and forehead with flowers in my long hair ?
Reb…….I did fly out via Frisco! Not a very happy flight!
SORRY! it would of been a great flight if I HAD KISSED YOU AND SAID STAY SAFE ?
45 years ago today I was still a diaper-shittin’ rug rat.
You were last night too! Party on!
Speaking of the Super Bowl, I’m rooting for the team with the lesser number of thugs–but it seems to be a tie, so I’m rooting for the line judge.
NFL- National Felon League. Yeah, it’s not fair to most of the overpaid jocks who perform for our entertainment; some do some serious good works off the field. I’ll be watching with adult malt beverages and a tray of:

Pro tip- spicy brown mustard is not an option, it’s a requirement.
Used have a near obsession with their bagel dogs. Same deal on the spicy brown mustard.
I LOVE THEM! Gotta be the Kosher. Gotta be with brown mustard. Gotta be NOT shared. I last had them New Year’s day and I think the count was 30 or 40.
Okay, I saw the HN ad. It was the box of 32. One sitting. Not shared.
Come to Texas sometime and I will drive you down to West for some real Czech Klobasnek!
Texas scares me. But they gots some good lookin’ women thar.
Frankfurters? Pffft. Go for bratwurst instead.
Keep the brown mustard, but get real brochen (or as close as you can find) to eat with them. And don’t forget the sauerkraut.
Just watch out for the schnitzengruben… they’ll wipe you out!

15 is my limit on schnitzengruben, baby!
Baby, please! I am not from Havana.
“It’s Tweu, It’s Tweu!”
As a former sports official, I always root for the referees.
They are the only people on the field that are expected to be perfect and then get better.
If you are looking for a team to root for you could root for the Panthers. Ron “Chico” Rivera, the head coach, is an Army brat. He’s a good guy.
After the hijacking of the TCU student below, I thought I’d throw out that a student at Darton State College in Georgia was escorted from a classroom because the gun he was carrying made the teacher nervous.
The student was a police officer.
In full uniform.
http://www.walb.com/story/31094713/police-officer-escorted-out-of-darton-college-classroom
Wow, that’s just amazingly ignorant and disrespectful.
Teacher’s a douche. Sounds like she needs to get stoned cold drunk and dance on a table, and someone do a video of it.
Nah, a douche serves a purpose.
The mindlessness of some of these so-called “academics” is simply astounding. . .
Maybe she go find a teaching job in say … Syria, Afgahnistan, Iraq or some other shi!t hole in North or Central Africa.
Just a suggestion …
The Teacher is an IDIOT EL GRANDE.
Read my 9:17 update on this API.
“We have apologized to the officer for our misunderstanding when he attended class on our campus, and we regret this happened.” Misunderstanding? Freakin’ morons.
Okay, I read a follow-up to that story. The student, a police officer, was wearing khaki pants, a polo with his dept’s crest on it, and a black jacket that covered the shirt. The instructor saw him and his firearm and notified the campus make-believe police. The responding crime fighter recognized the student as a police officer BUT thought it was school policy that there be no weapons in the school buildings. He asked the officer to put the firearm in the officer’s vehicle, which he did. The resultant reports refer to the officer as having been in “full uniform,” suggesting to reasonable readers that he was in an obvious and apparent police uniform of the kind seen on the street. In this instance, it now appears, the instructor was correct, the rent-a-cop was wrong, the real cop was a whiner, and the dean apologized publicly.
Damn, 2/17. I had my moral outrage worked into a fever pitch, and now you’ve gone and trashed it with a bunch of pesky facts. This is causing me emotional distress and borders on bullying, buddy.
Where’s my service dog?
You save me so much typing when you are around.
While I understand what you are saying, I am going to disagree with the characterization that the cop is a “whiner.”
The rent-a-cop knew the officer was a real police officer. Both Georgia State law and the Darton College code of conduct allows for officers to have a gun in their possession.
I have no idea where the idea that the officer was pulled from the classroom vs stopped in the hallway came from but it appears that both locations came from the school.
I could be wrong, but this appears to be a CYA from the school in order to appear to be reasonable when in fact their employees don’t know the law and the rules of the school.
If the cop was a whiner, he could have put up a “fight,” (verbally) but chose not to.
The school, the instructor, and the rent a cop were wrong no matter how this gets parsed.
Assuming you are correct about GA law and college policy, you are completely on-target. (I only use the caveat above because I haven’t personally verified those points; I have no reason to doubt you are correct.)
If GA law and the college’s published policy authorizes a police officer to carry under those conditions, the officer was 100% in the right – and the campus police and teacher were way out of line. I’m guessing that’s the case, but the officer in question simply felt it wasn’t worth creating a public scene at the time and chose to handle the matter quietly and behind-the-scenes afterwards. Hence the later apology from the university.
Yeah, I called the REAL cop a whiner w/o justification. Mea culpa. I assumed that he went public with the stink but it could have been someone he told, fellow cop, family member, or friend. So, I take it back. Forget I ever wrote it.
Your 100% correct…
Am I the only one on here who doesn’t give a damn about the Stupid Bowl?
Football ain’t nothing but one big game of fall down and get up again, sez me.
I’ll be spending my time with Wagner’s music and some Goethe from my library. Much better than watching a bunch of millionaires play in the mud.
Yep, pretty much! We all have choices, you do what you. Want to do! I’ll do the same!
That’s America for ya; you do your thing and I do mine. It’s all good. ;o)
I won’t quite say I don’t give a damn, but my GaS factor re: the game is fairly low. I probably won’t bother to watch it.
My prediction is a deja vu all over again repeat of SB XXII.
But don’t tell my Sister-In-Law I said that. She’s originally from Donkeyville and I want to live to see tomorrow.
You are not the only one.
I don’t know what I’ll be doing but it won’t be watching the sports event that will be on this weekend.
I’m going on another heli ride with PROUD and GROG. Bernastys email yesterday PISSED ME OFF. Today it’s a party at PROUDS, exchanging friends with each other. More friends to hide out with ?
Semper Idem, I will be doing a bit of baking, because it’s the time of year when I really want lemon cake. Don’t have a TV, don’t want one. I have a book to finish. The last SP I saw was the Chicago Bears. Haven’t watched one since.
I have a TV but it only gets Netflix for the kids. No commercials! Love it.
Baking: Going to make a pie. I have one last can of pumpkin and a bottle of rum so pumpkin pie it is.
Wait – rum-pumpkin pie?????
(Ears went up!) I may try that. Let us all know how it turns out. Do you use whipped cream with it?
BE CAREFUL about how you mention whipped cream, Dave might be prowling!!
John Giduck – the turd with a face!

If it’s going to end up as a choice between shrillary and Cruz, which is possible, who do you think will get the vote? I find it difficult to believe that the best the democraps can come up with is Bernie and shrillary.
Bernie and Thunderthighs offer the most in “free stuff” and that rates way high amongst Democrat, Liberal, Progressive, Socialist, Beggars, (can I get any more redundant?).
I saw a video of Bernie’s campaign bus hooked up to a tow truck going down the highway,, talk about a truthful statement!
I scored at the gun show today. I purchased a really old 198? P226 9mm. It was a Texas Rangers trade in and looks almost new. 100% West German made. Now I just have put it away for decade or so before my son gets it.
P.S the FBI NICS delayed me once again but it cleared the second time.
Dapper – if you live in TX, get your LTC and those pesky NICS checks are things of the past…
Nice!
But can we trust somebody just because of their pay grade?
Spell check fubar- my bad Sapper (not Dapper, not saying that you’re not).
Trust no one above E7 but a License To Carry is a nice thing in so many ways….
Sapper, when you put ‘really old’ and 1980-something in the same sentence, remember that some day, someone will say the same thing about you. If it were a 1946 Colt, or an 1846 flintlock muzzle-loader, I would understand.
but 1980-something? Pffft!
I also have 1944 Remington Rand 1911 U.S marked in the goody box. Its my precious.
They already call me old because parachutes were round when I was in the 82nd.
Heehee!
I am older because I jumped round parachutes, in the 101st, after going through Jump School at Ft. Campbell, wearing OG-107 fatigues, white t’shirts and block caps, aka “Castro Caps”. Youngun’
Did they teach parachute packen way back?
Did they have parachuting off of biplanes?
😀
Nope, sure didn’t. That was left to the riggers.
Have a P228 from the same era, but never considered 198? as “really old.” Gee, thanks, for making me feel beyond over the hill!
Figure being stamped “Made in W. Germany” does date it some.
“Figure being stamped “Made in W. Germany” does date it some.”
I have a sweet .22 single action, that looks like a Ruger Single Six knock off that was made in W.Germany. Surely does date it.
It looks like Sean Anderson, the Walrus-faced cocksmoker holed up in Oregon has managed to drag his old lady and the 2 other remaining dumbasses with him.
The Feds were willing to let the other three losers walk ( including his hiefer).Apparently he talked them into staying with his fat ass in a All for one, one for all type thing.
Well I guess they all have been flapping their cockholsters about shooting officers, or maybe the Feds are calling a spade a spade and accepting that their very presence is interupting the operations at the refuge.
All four of the losers now have warrants.

Geezer check: I just used the term “201 File” in an email to my son.
Any of you recognize that? I’m guessing Claw, 2/17 and 3/17 will. But then, maybe it is still in use and I’m out of touch….again.
Yup! DA Form 201 – Military Personnel Records Jacket. Just pulled one out of my filing cabinet where I keep my military documents. I’d be surprised if it’s still in use, now that personnel records have gone electronic.
Was still in use when I first came on active duty. Believe I have one holding my personal copy of my OMPF somewhere at the house.
Recognize “201 File”, sj. Anyone remember the term “LES”? Still use “Messhall.” Took a while to quit saying “POV” and even “Latrine”. 🙂
Huh? I need to be brought up to speed on those things, AnotherPat. Mess hall, latrine, and POV are no longer in use? Where does one eat, do what eventually follows, and what does one call a civilian vehicle nowadays?
All of those terms are still in use to some extent, I think. Some of the lingo may not be as universally used as it used to be. I’d hear people speak of their POV or their cover, and I might use the terms occasionally myself, but usually I’d just speak of my car or my hat.
“Messhall” is now ‘DFAC” – short for “Dining Facility”.
As far as I know, in the Army POVs and latrines are still POVs and latrines.
DFAC, as in DeFACate? Yipes.
They say, “What goes up must come down.” Well, what goes in . . . . (smile)

********PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT********* Yes, this is a repeat of a PSA I posted many moons ago. It’s Sunday morning and I’m too damn lazy to write up another one, so there! This is an unsolicited PSA. Neither Jonn, nor TSO, Hondo, or any other admin or poster have asked me to post this. Any statement or opinion to the contrary is wrong, ignorant, unfounded, and unsupported by the facts. Legal threats of any kind directed my way will be ignored since they will have no foundation in any law, statute, or ordinance in any State in the Union (maybe those threats would have some standing in the State of Confusion, which is where certain well-known litigous assholes reside. However, I do not reside there, so there!). Physical threats will also be ignored, as I’m perfectly capable of defending myself (and given the track records of those litigious assholes, there’s a good chance that they’ll finger someone else instead of me, which will ensure that my domestic tranquility will continue to be undisturbed). If the above disclaimer doesn’t make much sense, blame a certain well-known ex-photographer’s mate who masquerades as a US Navy Chief Petty Officer who happens to be an Oregon-based (I think) attorney of some (ill) repute, and a certain well-known former Marine whose claims about rank and awards were so out to lunch that an entire Federal appeals court was reduced to helpless laughter after reading his filings. I modeled the disclamer on language and logic they both have used in their numerous court filings, so blame them, not me! Now, the PSA: Support the blog by clicking on the “DONATE” button at the top right corner of the page and sending some $$ to keep this blog active and thriving. Also, hit the advertiser’s links and check out what they have to offer. You never know what you’ll find that interests you, and each click sends a few well-deserved shekels to Jonn. To Jonn: thank you for all you’ve done, and all you continue to do. To all the Stolen Valor fakes, wannabees, low-lifes, and other scumbags… Read more »
