Didn't take long for this thread to come off the rails...

Take down the door and walls, eh? Someone please carve "Manchester" into the wall immediately.

"It is all we have"........it's a shitter at the Deid, I pity you if that's all you have..

2 for anything by Wouk. These mentioned but also The Caine Mutiny. Both the book and movie are outstanding. Best fiction book ever is "Once an Eagle." Although based on the Army, the concepts you see b1tched about so much here as new afflictions are vividly illustrated in the book. This book follows a regular guy from his enlistment in the 1917 Pancho Villa expedition, through WWI, the Great Depression, WWII, and into early Vietnam. Just great writing and anyone with a familiarity with the military will recognized the characters and problems. A huge part of what made me want to join, then cope, then eventually leave, the service. Best book ever.

The last Crow War Chief, saw this featured in Ken Burns "The War". https://www.mtpioneer.com/2013-June-The-Last-Crow-War-Chief.html

Stick, I'm congratulating you for having the courage to punch despite being on the "path." You made your mind up, followed your convictions, and it worked out. You will be missed brodimir putin, take her easy.

The only way to reduce assaults is to find perpetrators, prosecute, and discharge them. No amount of education will change these people. Who the F goes to bat for them?

The ground force commander doesn't understand anything aviation that the BAE cell doesn't feed him through AGI power point and the occasional steaming shit laid in a briefing by what is typically a CW5 with nothing to lose and enough experience nobody questions it. Seriously I'm saying that as an Army Aviator. Nobody is going to care what is dropping bombs. We care that bombs are being dropped. Just like it was never a question of whether they had 58s or 64s assigned as their time blocked teams despite the shortcomings in sensors, ordnance, and station time with the 58. Nobody is gonna stop the show because the CAS came back as F-16 assigned even though your Assistant S3 specifically put in 30mm forward firing on the CAS request to game the system and get Hawgs. The mission will go on. We did CAS (real no shit non OEF CAS) Before the Hawg, during the Hawg with other airplanes, and will someday do it after the Hawg has been put out to pasture. Honestly you guys should be jumping at getting into a new airplane like the F-35 before all the "other guys." Build that culture from the ground up day 1 with your experience so that CAS doesn't become problem number 53 to solve later ... Someday... On short notice because we put it off so long learning X, Y, & Z.

You can get away with any version of flip flops in the chow hall, including the $0.99 bx shower shoes. Beats by Dre are also strongly encouraged.

biggest UPT mistake? Not dumping my girlfriend (ex wife now) before going...Now all the graduation pictures are ruined for me. She wasn't even hot, god damn it.

Really? Conversation heard everywhere: "Where did you commission? The Academy. What squad were you in?" Instant bro club in a lot of places. And hot chick sleeping up the ladder? Seen it more than once. Just a lengthier process...and the liberal use of the word hot.
