I was visiting one of my (palliative - i.e. about to die) patients today, and i asked if she had a moment (to chat about her pain control, etc.).  She said "sure . . .

Larry King doesn’t need to be on ALL the time"

“I don’t like that guy.  If he was drowning and needed my help, I’d throw him a cinder-block.”  :evil:

“i wouldn’t pee on him if he was on fire”

Ha!  That’s the spirit!  :lol:

Not to bust your bubble, just correcting terminology.  You had a Nomination to USAFA, which means you had the listing from a politician.  In order to get an appointment, you have to fill out the application, go through a lot of screening, especially medical.  Then if you pass the screening AND if you get a nomination, you move on to final review for an appointment.

yea, used the wrong term. sorry. i had a nomination to USAFA, and i had passed DODMERB, I hadnt yet taken my physical test as part of my application, but i met all the minimum requirements.

What happened to putting down your favorite quotes?

Here’s another one from yet another Navy buddy of mine:

“You know that show Pimp My Ride?  Well you need to be on the show Pimp My Life.”

my old Sargent used to say a lot of weird things. after i good day of terrorist hunting he would start yelling “woooo hot damn i haven’t had this much fun since i pulled down your mamma’s pants ripped off her grandma undies and turned her butt into a hat!” he was a weird guy, he also always like to tell me that i was the wolf in the sheep’s skin (i look like a total loser pussy, but i was among the best hand to hand and marksmen in my unit)

The Infantryman’s Creed (United States Army, of course)

I am the Infantry.
I am my country’s strength in war,
her deterrent in peace.
I am the heart of the fight-
wherever, whenever.
I carry America’s faith and honor
against her enemies.
I am the Queen of Battle.

I put the whole first stanza in only so you knew I wasn’t making this up!  Also, and maybe this should be in the joke thread, but that’s inconvenient right now:

What is the root word of infantry again?  That’s right!  INFANT!!!  Sorry, I like picking on gropos (ground pounders.)  It’s payback for being picked on as a zoomie!

I’ve also heard of Marines being referred to as “Crunchies”  :mrgreen:

you can have all the air force and navy you want, you cant capture a grass hut without at least one ground pounder.

If your target is overseas??? I haven’t heard of our boys walking on water…

“Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the world”
Kaiser Wilhelm- one of my personal heros

Actually their both my heros but the quote came from his "GRAND"son. Yes even though he really didnt get germany in its “day under the sun” and  fired Bismarck… I love his aloofness and imperious attitude.The simple things in life never swayed him … except yachting!  His granddaddy was really the one who set up the empire along with Bismarck and is probably a much better leader but i just like his sons attitude of life.

@Imperious:

Today is the day when General Tony McAuliffe announced to the German commander: Nuts! during the battle of the bulge as his reply to surrender terms for Bastogne.

I wonder what the german commander said when he got that reply?!

If I recall correctly, it didn’t quite translate.  The meaning was lost.
