T.I.N.S., I was there….
I see you’re all sitting around, trying to figure out how to get through the weekend without a lot of stolen valor stuff to pound on and with a dirth of news about fraudulent claims or major triumphs. As I understand it, the SJC is either voting on Kavanaugh’s confirmation or will vote on it, but I believe there is now sufficient support for him to be confirmed.
So I thought that maybe, while you’re awaiting the news on that item and trying to pass the hours while you’re stuck indoors watching college fussballspielen, you might take advantage of an open thread where you can drop in your own adventures without let or hindrance. They do not have to be military-related, which means that you can relay those moments when the firing pin in your neighbor’s rifle was stuck and he couldn’t get the thing to fire, so he looked down the barrel… and I’m sure you know what happened after that.
Rules? We don’t need no stinkin’ rules!
Fire away then.
Category: Open thread, YGBSM!!
There I was, at 20,000’…
*grin*
I’ll be back- working on a Murkowski post now.
Yeah. We here at Casa OWB are just about done with it all. Call it court fatigue. Well, really more fatigue with the harping moonbats. CSPAN is on in the background just to make absolutely sure not to miss the vote. But, that means unending dirty talk from dims interspersed with potty mouthed protestors outside. You’d think that all of them have been waiting anxiously to tell their tales of sex, abuse, verbal filth, and point partisan fingers.
Now this ain’t no shit…
There I was, on the first leg of a UNITAS Det, where we exercise with our South American friend’s Navys. Usually a coveted detachment, especially the last leg which is held in Rio, for reasons that are obvious. Coveted because the per diem was generous and the accommodations were usually 4 star hotels and high end restaurants. Usually, that is, unless one is on the first Unitas leg, as I was. My P-3 crew and I were billeted in the famous Bundy barracks in Puerto Rico (open bay, no screens, floor fan to move the air), and had a dining choice of the Navy chow hall or the Exchange’s greasy spoon. To add insult to injury, on our in-chop brief, they issued us ration cards for booze and tobacco. Something like two fifths of hard liquor and 10 cigars a week. Completely unsat, as I had planned to stock up on the unbelievably low priced Bacardi rum and stogies for the trip home. What to do….
Hmmm, seems the “ration card” was merely an 8 1/2x11sheet of paper, with check off blocks at the appropriate items. I looked at the ration card.
I then looked at the Xerox machine in the corner.
20 copies later, and I was eventually able to pretty much fill a cruise box with cases of rum and boxes of Nicaraguan stogies.
I guess the first leg of Unitas wasn’t so bad after all!
Then there was the emerald I scored in Panama, but that’s another story.
Macho Grande. I can’t talk about it.
Will never get over Macho Grande.
Those wounds run pretty deep…
Sorry Striker
I’m off in the general direction of UGC6093, chasing reptilian aliens that have a 3rd eye in their foreheads. I also have chocolate mousse cake in the fridge, in case I need comfort food.
I bet the ducks in the above pic have milk and Quackers for breakfast.
Giggles!
‘Chief Corpsman Wisdom’
A sailor fell asleep at the beach. He woke up several hours later and suffered a severe sunburn to his legs and was taken to the closest medical facility, which happened to be the Naval Clinic on base…
His skin had turned red and was very painful and had started to blister. Anything that touched his legs caused agony. The lead on the medical staff at the naval clinic that night was a Chief Corpsman. The chief checked him out and then prescribed continued intravenous feedinhgs of water, electrolytes, a mild sedative, and Viagra!!!
Rather astounded, the 3rd Class Corpsman who was with the Chief inquired,
“What good will Viagra do him in that condition?”
The Chief replied,
“It’ll keep the sheet off his legs.”
LOL, nice!
Geezo Pete, Chief, could you post a spew alert on something like that????
On the SV front one can always bust on “DaNang Dick” again…
Just because Hanoi Jane has more time there……
In case anyone was not paying attention, here’s the vote count by individual response.

I’m sure that there is sadness in the House of Lefterd Congress Critters tonight.
Maybe we should all be sad as all the dumbocrats will all be out drowning their sorrows for the next few days and of course they will figure out some way to soak the rest of us with the tab. Wonder if we will hear any DUI’s or accidents from the debacle they suffer, course if there are any death from any dui wrecks it will say so and naturally the other driver will be at fault and the details won’t divulge the fact that the dumbocrat crossed 3 lanes of traffic to run into said drunk, they’ll just say how great the dumbocrat was. SNAFU
Open thread you say?
I’ll take the opportunity to inform yous guys I NO-GOed at murdering a Melegris Gallopavo.
I saw a cute lil hen and just couldn’t…
Some things are just too beautiful to harvest, still get tear eyed inflicting pain on all those trout.
I have a late work call on Monday!
Watch out Tom, I’mma comin’!
The Snatch Adventure I was stationed at Ft. Lewis. There was a PFC that seemed to be cool and was part of our team, turned out he was a class A douche. One weekend we went to a concert in Seattle: The douche, me and Doc D. We took my truck. I loaned the PFC $100, turns out Doc D loaned him the same amount previously. Both of us were Spec. 4’s. Regardless, the concert was a blast. The PFC and I both met girls at the concert that went to Seattle University and we stayed in the female dorm overnight (yes we did), then back to Ft. Lewis the next day. PFC kept dating her, or so we found out. The following weekend the PFC talked a NCO (SSG) into renting a car for him for the weekend. Unbeknownst to the NCO the PFC keep it for 3 weeks hiding it in multiple places on the base. NCO found out when agency called him, and they still charged his Credit Card $700. PFC went AWOL when all was found out. 1SG Was PISSED. One night, Doc D and I were sitting around drinking beer. I said “hey Doc, I bet he is in Seattle with that girl from the concert, lets go check”. He said “yes, grab some 100 mph tape as well”. We left to Seattle and got there around 7:00 pm. We got to the dorm, 2 girls let us on the elevator when we said we were going to visit the other 2 girls. we got to the 6th floor and the dorm room. We knocked on the door. No answer, but we heard shuffling coming from the room. We knocked again, this time announcing who we were, why we were there, and that we knew PFC Douche was in there. She opened the door. After we talked for 30 secs, we found him hiding under the bed. We grabbed him, drug him out to the elevator, down to my truck (it had a camper shell on it). We put the PFC in the back, and… Read more »
I hate the new army pt test.
Listen, seriously, someone please explain this to me. I’m serious.
One of the scummy dummycrats was asked by an MSNBC or CNN vacuum head something along the following: What will happen if Trump refused to be arrested by the police?
Now, exactly what has Trump done that he would warrant being arrested? Exactly what crime is he accused of? What would be the charge for impeachment?
Seriously, WTF is going on? Wouldn’t an illegal attempt to arrest Trump? Wouldn’t this be a coup?
Please, I need clarification about this.
