Default Drug This Oldie Up....

now the differences between the services:

An Army grunt stands in the rain with a 35 lb. pack on his back, 15 lb. weapon in hand, after having marched 12 miles, and says, "This is shit."

An Army Airborne Ranger stands in the rain with a 45 lb. pack on his back, weapon in hand, after having jumped from an airplane and marched 18 miles, and says with a smile, "This is good shit!"

A Navy Seal lies in the mud, 55 lb pack on his back, weapon in hand, after swimming 10 miles to shore, crawling through a swamp and marching 25 miles at night past the enemy positions, says with a grin, "This really is great shit."

A Marine, up to his nose in the stinking, bug-infested mud of a swamp with a 65 lb pack on his back and a weapon in both hands after jumping from an aircraft at high altitude, into the ocean, swimming 12 miles to the shore, killing several alligators to enter the swamp, then crawling 30 miles through the brush to assault an enemy camp, says, "I love this shit!"

An Air Force officer sits in an easy chair in his air conditioned, carpeted BOQ room, surfing the net, flips on the TV to static and says, "The cable's out? What kind of shit is this?"

Unfortantely with the AF folks I've meet...that is an acurate statement.

What about those of us who cross branches?
Army grunt, looking at the AF: I want some of that shit..


This being said, I couldn't agree more, for the most part!
I enjoyed my time in the Army, and if it hadn't been for a peacetime chain of command that was all but chasing us out, I'd likely still be in over there!

Yeah, as you can see, joining the Air Force is the correct choice.

I didn't want to be a grunt and deal with that shit. So I joined the Air Force.

I smell jealousy.
