NICE!!!

Wow really......I knew there was a reason I signed up for this class. This I have to say is by far the best work I have read in this class. Maybe the morbid theme goes along with the weather currently or it can be that sometimes the dark side can effect you in a way that laughter and fun can't but nevertheless this was great! My favorite story was of the man that died who had no idea of the crime he committed. I am looking forward to discuss that in class!!!

C-ya guys in 10 mins ;)

Going Hunting

Two guys go hunting. Jerry has never gone hunting while Joe has hunted all his life. When they get to the northern Wisconsin woods, Joe tells Jerry to sit by a tree and not make a sound while Joe checks out a deer stand. After he gets about a quarter of a mile away, Joe hears a blood-curdling scream. He rushes back to Jerry and yells,
"I thought I told you to be quiet!" Jerry says
"Hey, I tried. I really did. When those snakes crawled over me, I didn't make a sound. When that bear was breathing down my neck, I didn't make a peep. But when those two chipmunks crawled up my pants leg and said:
'Should we take them with us or eat them here?'

I couldn't keep quiet any more!"



ROFL!!! Guys when I read this I was pissing my pants here enojy!

Personal Experience! Continued...

Where did I leave it off...ah...The People (military personnel).

Let me tell you something I never seen that many drug addicts, alcoholics, thieves, lowlifes, gang bangers, etc, until I joined the Army. When they say that the military is a second chance they truly mean it. We had guys that were going through drug and alcohol withdrawals in basic training. Imagine what would you have felt if it just so happened that THAT GUY after basic would come in your unit/platoon/squad? He could even be your battle buddy! Yes I know it sounds like helll but to the Army's defense most of them turn their life around while the rest fall through the crack of the ingenious military machine!

Black Watch the play.

I have to admit it was brilliant! Gregory, dude, you have capture the soul of the soldier! In a nutshell this play. It was the begining that captured my attention right away. I found myself saying "fucking A mate I wanted to go in the army".

So the story continues and it felt like I was in the scene. Now when it came down to the curses and them treating women like object I have something to say which I know, will not go down well with most of you. (yes I heard all the comments in class about how they feel used...and channeling the anger... blah blah blah) The fact of the matter is you are talking about 20 cock-swinging-commandos living in the same place eating together shitting in the same fucking toilet. Now how fucking polite can they be? Think of 20 thugs of the worst movies that you have seen, give them weapons, training and a uniform and voila! you have the ARMY! (but I haven't gotten to that yet). Anyway

The play was great I wish I was able to attend!

Personal Experience!

Since I have been in the Army and was part of the OIF (Operation Iraqi Freedoom) from Jan 2003 to Jan 2004. I think I have earned the right to comment/bitch/pass judgment or say whatever I fucking feel like about the war in Iraq, people fighting/people leading the war, ohh almost forgot even the American public.
First and foremost:

The WAR!!!

Seriously this was the most bullshit war anyone could have ever thought of. Our rotten government induced by the personal profit acted in an act of violence against a country that didn't give a crap if America was on the map or not. I will not say George Bush (because he is too big of a moron to actually devise a plan so grandious), but the people who control our goverment and remain behind the scenes duped "the American people" (wait I haven't gotten to that yet) in a war which was futile for the masses but profitable for the elite. But enough with conspiracy theories and let's talk about the actual "WAR".

Fucking A!

I was in the front line and believe me I saw just enough combat to keep me awake. The Iraqis were lacking in training equipment and will to fight. It was a walk in the fucking park. Shooting ducks in a row took more concentration than fighting this crappy war. I look back at it and even though I am considered a veteran I would have rather had a bachelors degree instead. :)

Here guys when even your president doesn't give a fuck!!!

The Black Watch!

Now truly I had no idea who the Black Watch were but after reading about them I can fully say: "Fucking kick ass man!". These guys look like they can kick ass and take names. Even though they are wearing kilts (which to my opinion are no different from gowns that went out of style years ago) still being able to fight around the globe will grant the unit a sizable amount of expertize in combat SOP and insight on troop maneuverability. To make a long story short a combat unit that has seen combat is better then a combat unit that has played war games.


Still the red thingie adds to the gayness but who is looking eh! :)

Husband and wife playing golf!

Husband and wife were playing golf in a high society golf course. It was the wife's turn to swing when the husband goes:

Husband: Wife careful not to hit the country club building window with the golf ball because it will cost us a fortune

Wife: OK!

(Swing ............crash!!!)

And of course the wife hits one of the stained glass windows.
So they both head for the country club building door to apologize and pay for the damage. They knock on the door and no answer. They knock for a second time and the old heavy door slowly creaks open just enough to bring in view an old man in a rocking chair, an antique vase broken on a stand and their golf ball right next to it.
They both enter and apologizing in the same time the husband offers to pay for the damage.

Old Man: Well that is not necessary. Do you see that broken vase?

The husband nods.

Old Man: Well I am the genie that came out of it. I have been imprisoned for 2000 years and you finally set me free. Now I will grant you 3 wishes even though I am free.

Husband and wife very happy that this actually happened to them ask for the usual money, house and happiness! And the genie grants all 3 of them.
He says: There is an island in Fiji that is all yours with a beautiful house and a room in the house that the money never ends.

Husband and wife thank him a million and ask the genie if there was something they could do for him. The genie politely declines but they insist.

Genie: Well I have been trapped for 2000 years in that vase with no one to comfort me if you would permit can I have a night with your wife, after that I will vanish and you will never see or hear from me again!

After some contemplation they both agree to and the wife goes to bed with genie. At aboout half past two after a long session of wild intercourse the genie lays on his back almost breathless and ask the wife.

Genie: How old are you and your husband?

Wife: 28 and 30. Why?

Old man: And you still believe in genies?

A blow to the face!

So to wrap everything up as far as Jarhead goes:

A little boy with daddy issues who wanted to be cool goes to join the marines :

Goes in and is disappointed because the marines couldn't get rid of his issues:



Gets out and becomes a drunk, anti-social, and peace lovin:



Cry me a river Anthony!
If you were looking for a way out of your mental issues than the military is definitely not for you.
My advice would be make sure you have VA (Veteran Affairs) benefits and find a shrink cuz dude: you are fried.

Since we are in the war topic!!!

Here are top ten Chuck Noris facts. He has been the poster child for almost every shitty war movie that he was in besides a few that I actually enjoyed





THE TOP TEN CHUCK NORRIS FACTS:

01	Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.
02	Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice.
03	Chuck Norris does not hunt because the word hunting infers the probability of failure. Chuck Norris goes killing.
04	If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can't see Chuck Norris you may be only seconds away from death.
05	Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.
06	When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
07	Chuck Norris built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK assassination. As Oswald shot, Chuck Norris met all three bullets with his beard, deflecting them. JFK's head exploded out of sheer amazement.
08	Chuck Norris has already been to Mars; that's why there are no signs of life there.
09	They once made a Chuck Norris toilet paper, but it wouldn't take shit from anybody.
10	A blind man once stepped on Chuck Norris' shoe. Chuck replied, "Don't you know who I am? I'm Chuck Norris!" The mere mention of his name cured this man blindness. Sadly the first, last, and only thing this man ever saw, was a fatal roundhouse delivered by Chuck Norris.

I hope you enjoyed them add more if you feel like!

I don't know but I been told!

One thing that this book doesn't mention is the cadences. A cadence is a "song" that the leader of the platoon screams out and the others repeat. This is used in marching, running in formation or in some other D & C event (Drills and Ceremonies). Here are some examples of cadences:

Ain't no use in looking down
Here we go again
Drip drop Drippity drip drop

They actually give you a moral boost and a release of anger when your running for 10k in the freezing cold in Germany ;)

Whoa!

The fact of the matter is that the military sucks and there is no doubt about it. It is not important which branch you are in. But the Core sux the most. What I like most about the first part of the book is the basic training stories. This is not a coincidence or how the author wrote it. I like that in most war movies as well, such as in Full Metal Jacket and others which is not worth mentioning. The reason why I like the "basic training" is the importance that it holds for making future soldiers as well as the comedy and the foul language which is shaped in a form to belittle anyone and everyone.
