    Lots of changes since I left the Army.

     

    First was the embarrassing "new" emblem, that stupid kindergarten white star on the black back background.  I never served one second under that POS thing.  I wanted a new veteran's cap and couldn't find one with the "coat-of-arms" style so I found a patch and had one made.

     

    Next is the dress uniforms, both blues and greens, that have nothing to recommend them, no personality at all.

     

    Finally, if this cartoon is an example, they turned the enlisted stripes upside down...... again.

    British, not US....

    And proud of it! Luckily I never had to prove my manhood by jumping out of a plane - that and all the weapon systems I served on couldn't be air dropped....

    Ah, now we have number 3.

    I’m curious, why would you open a thread if you’re tired of the same old crap? Or are you just hoping to entertain yourself by starting an argument?

    Nope.  I enjoy the branch bashing.  I just get tired of the endless "jokes" that Lieutenants are all idiots and officers in general are worthless.  And yes, I was a commissioned officer yet I am not continually saying things like how all the enlisted personnel I served with were a step from Leavenworth.

    I'm not offended by it, just really tired of the same old crap.  At least I 'm not Francis.....

    I bought one of those jackets that Adventure Bike riders wear. I was trying to find something cooler than my heavy leather jacket. 
    It was in the upper 90’s. I made it about a mile on a street with lights designed to stop me at every intersection. 
    I turned around and went back to the store. Luckily I was able to return it for full price (I didn’t remove the tags).

    I bought it because the guy showed me all the openings all over the jacket to help keep you cool. 
    All the openings did zero good because the jacket pressed against me negating the air flow that was supposed occur while riding. 

    Lots of disagreement over whether mesh gear works or not (depends on how hot it is for the evaporation to be effective)  but I wear mesh jacket and pants all summer and survive.  Better than nothing and lots better than a full leather jacket. Just have to keep hydrated..... Check out wickedstock.com.  Good quality gear at a decent price.

    Too hot in Texas for that extra add-on stuff.  I wear the armored jacket, pants, and gloves all the time.  And always remember the two basic rules for motorcycles:  1.  Don't fall down and 2.  Everyone else on the road is trying to kill you.

    I started to say that this girl is completely nuts, but then remembered that I have done a few very similar things and decided not to throw rocks from my glass house. 

    Still nuts and we hope she doesn't have a hard lesson from it....

    I made my own version of this. I had just parked my bike at work and walked out to talk to a guy. As I turned I saw how my bike was parked and I remembered the meme above and made my own.

     LOL Graf would do it for sure , was stationed there so ranges ect where there and down I ran the live shoot house for about a year . When we deployed they sent us to Honenfels just to make it different . We destroyed their OpFor  they sent us home 5 days early and made the rest of company stay there to train .

    Graf - one foot in mud, one foot in snow and dirt blowing in your face.  My favorite Graf story was talking with my German landlord about it.  He was in Rommel's command and trained at Graf in the 1930s.  Same stories we told, separated by 40 years.
