yup. they do that. a couple of our deployments on the D.D. Eisenhower (CVN69, hoorah that magic number) had our airboss do the same thing.Fuck being a hero. Do you know what you get for being a hero? Nothing! You get shot at. You get a little pat on the back, blah blah blah, attaboy! You get divorced... Your wife can't remember your last name, your kids don't want to talk to you... You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy. I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it. -
Came across a listing of some of the more popular acronym's from World War II...with a chuckle!!!
SNAFU: Situation Normal, All F*cked Up!
SUSFU: Situation Unchanged, Stil F*cked Up!
SAFU: Self Adjusting F*uck Up!
TARFU: Things Are Really F*cked Up!
FUMTU: F*ucked Up More Than Usual!
JANFU: Joint Army-Navy F*uck Up!
JAAFU: Joint Anglo-American F*ck Up!
FUAFUP: F*cked Up and F*cked Up Proper!
FUBAR: F*cked Up Beyond All Recognition!The reason that the American Army does so well in wartime, is that war is chaos, and the American Army practices chaos on a daily basis.Comment

Nope. For the Army at least. This practice has largely been abandoned by the Army. If it is still in practice anywhere, it's rare at best. In fact, in 14 years, both on the conventional Army side and SOF side, I've never heard of the Army issuing any stimulants to anyone for operational purposes (to include having a PFC in one platoon during my 10th Mountain time who was a bona-fide, getting medically chaptered narcoleptic).Originally posted by pmulcahy11b View Post

Nor I. When I was in Iraq, my wife would send me a bunch of the green Monsters every week or so in care packages. I'd normally pass them out to my soldiers except for one or two. Those I would save for those, "0300, get your guys up and out of the wire in 20 minutes, we found an HVT"-raids that my commander liked to always spring on me. Then I'd drink one in about 45 seconds and be bouncing off of the inside of my Stryker for four hours, then comatose after the ensuing sugar crash....
Normally, I'm a 2 x Oxy Elite Pro pills (supplement, better than a pot of coffee) when I wake up, Coca-Cola on my way into work, PT to get the blood flowing, Coca-Cola after PT, and don't stop moving long enough after that to get tired.Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.Comment

Cubicle
Civilan Cubicle: Is a partially enclosed workspace, separated from neighboring workspaces by partitions that are usually 56 feet (1.51.8 m) tall. Its purpose is to isolate office workers from the sights and noises of an open workspace, the theory being that this allows workers more privacy, and personalization, and helps them to concentrate without distractions. Horizontal work surfaces are usually suspended from the vertical partitions of cubicles, as is shelving, overhead storage, and other amenities

The smell of coffee is a good pick-me-up, but it too tastes like ass. Coffee is like a woman with big tits and V-necked sweater, and a great ass and a short skirt -- but when you're ready to go, her skin's dirty and she has BO, you can taste her perfume and it's stale, and she has a "fish problem."Originally posted by Cpl.

In the field, one thing I carried for a quick energy rush (like before a deliberate attack or a raid) are dextrose cubes, can't remember the name, that my mother would pick me up at a German shop in New Braunfels and ship to be by the large boxfuls. I'd chew 3, 4, 5, or 6 of them, and they quickly give you an enormous sugar rush that usually lasted long enough for the entire operation; if not, I chewed more of them.Originally posted by Eddie View Post
Nowdays, they can't even make a dent in the sleepiness caused by Invega. Neither can energy drinks. I use Nuvigil (normally prescribed for narcoleptics). Two will keep me alert from about 7AM until about 2 PM, they take an hour to kick in, and when they wear off, it's sudden and accompanied by a wave of sleepiness and severe depression. Guys, never develop a psychosis for which you have to be treated by medication! And have your sleep robbed of quality by osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia -- a new diagnosis that explains a lot, but sucks! What a nasty lot of genes I inherited -- sometimes I think my parents were trying to make my life miserable BEFORE I was born!

You need to drink better coffee!The smell of coffee is a good pick-me-up, but it too tastes like ass.
Seriously, give up on the percolatot, use a french press or an espressso machine if you can find a used one. With a french press, let the water cool for about 30 seconds after boiling before you pour it on the coffee. It akes all the difference!I laugh in the face of danger. Then I hide until it goes away.Comment

Body Odour
A stench of stale sweat and cheap perfume that can be smelt at twenty paces and still burn the hairs out of your nose!If it moves, shoot it, if not push it, if it still doesn't move, use explosives.

Originally posted by Cpl.
