That reminded me of the yacht in the cow pond in Secondhand Lions.

That will piss off the HOA that dont allow boat parked in driveway :) 

 

 

Don't think Hub and Garth care much what the HOA don't allow . . . .

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.

That Nicholson from The Last Detail? The face looks right. Can't see enough of his arm - he was a signalman first.

Hmm, while I wasn't in at the time, my MP National Guard unit did a tour in Iraq during Desert Storm guarding EPW's; a tour in Iraq during OIF training the Iraqi police.  There were 10 Purple Hearts given out for that deployment and they also deployed to Afghanistan.  And guess who won the 2023 International Sniper Competition, held April 10-13 at Fort Benning, Georgia?  https://taskandpurpose.com/news/international-sniper-competition-2023-army-national-guard/   The National Guard of the 70's and 80's is gone.  Most National Guard units could be expected to deploy overseas to either Afghanistan or Iraq when we still had a major presence in both countries.

This is the sign you are greeted with at the Australian Jungle Wing, Tully NQ. It used to sit at the top of Heartbreak Ridge after you dragged your arse to the top with full marching order for 3 days. Now it sits at the entrance to the mess.

LAAW?

 

I thought that was a Light Anti-tank Weapon - LAW.

 

What's the other A for?

Light Anti-tank Assault Weapon.

Nonsense. That could not be an assault weapon.

 

It is not a semi-automatic with a detachable magazine and a pistol grip.

Thank You Sir. It's been almost 40 years, but I knew that it was, at least originally, LAAW.

It's supposed to be humor.  Guess I'm tired of the perception that the National Guard doesn't do anything or is incapable of doing their jobs.

It is humor. Every branch of the Military is fair game in the types of threads including the Nat’l Guard. :D
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. :lol:
This thread is military humor by military folks... Or anyone else that has a funny military meme. No serious insult is meant.
