Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 6 minutes ago, Pat Riot said: When I was stationed in Okinawa with the 3rd Marine Division, there was a commercial on the Forced Entertainment Network, (This was 1978. If you were there around then, you know what I mean), that showed an Army unit during some training exercise. They were bailing out of 6bys, charging through the woods, full Field Gear, screaming and yelling, to line up at a PX Food truck. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every branch of the Military is fair game in the types of threads including the Nat’l Guard. I am pretty sure that up until my posts the National Guard wasn’t mentioned. Y’all got to skate. If I got mad every time someone made jokes about the Navy I would probably be perpetually pizzed off. This thread is military humor by military folks... Or anyone else that has a funny military meme.
