Ha! That’s the spirit! :lol:
Not to bust your bubble, just correcting terminology. You had a Nomination to USAFA, which means you had the listing from a politician. In order to get an appointment, you have to fill out the application, go through a lot of screening, especially medical. Then if you pass the screening AND if you get a nomination, you move on to final review for an appointment.
yea, used the wrong term. sorry. i had a nomination to USAFA, and i had passed DODMERB, I hadnt yet taken my physical test as part of my application, but i met all the minimum requirements.
What happened to putting down your favorite quotes?
Here’s another one from yet another Navy buddy of mine:
“You know that show Pimp My Ride? Well you need to be on the show Pimp My Life.”
my old Sargent used to say a lot of weird things. after i good day of terrorist hunting he would start yelling “woooo hot damn i haven’t had this much fun since i pulled down your mamma’s pants ripped off her grandma undies and turned her butt into a hat!” he was a weird guy, he also always like to tell me that i was the wolf in the sheep’s skin (i look like a total loser pussy, but i was among the best hand to hand and marksmen in my unit)
The Infantryman’s Creed (United States Army, of course)
I am the Infantry.
I am my country’s strength in war,
her deterrent in peace.
I am the heart of the fight-
wherever, whenever.
I carry America’s faith and honor
against her enemies.
I am the Queen of Battle.
I put the whole first stanza in only so you knew I wasn’t making this up! Also, and maybe this should be in the joke thread, but that’s inconvenient right now:
What is the root word of infantry again? That’s right! INFANT!!! Sorry, I like picking on gropos (ground pounders.) It’s payback for being picked on as a zoomie!
I’ve also heard of Marines being referred to as “Crunchies” :mrgreen:
you can have all the air force and navy you want, you cant capture a grass hut without at least one ground pounder.
If your target is overseas??? I haven’t heard of our boys walking on water…
it doesnt matter where your fighting, you cant capture squat without the marines. :mrgreen:

“Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the worldâ€
Kaiser Wilhelm- one of my personal heros
which one ?
Actually their both my heros but the quote came from his "GRAND"son. Yes even though he really didnt get germany in its “day under the sun” and fired Bismarck… I love his aloofness and imperious attitude.The simple things in life never swayed him … except yachting! His granddaddy was really the one who set up the empire along with Bismarck and is probably a much better leader but i just like his sons attitude of life.
@Imperious:
Today is the day when General Tony McAuliffe announced to the German commander: Nuts! during the battle of the bulge as his reply to surrender terms for Bastogne.
I wonder what the german commander said when he got that reply?!
If I recall correctly, it didn’t quite translate. The meaning was lost.
“A man that eloquent has to be saved.”
Gen Patton on hearing McAuliff’s reply.
