Wait, you are already a Staff Sergeant? I thought you completed basic no more than a few years ago?

Not trying to recruit, but i can point you in the right direction if you would like to join.

And,

Ive only had one soldier tell me that he was homosexual. I kinda new already, it was pretty obvious, he was a good soldier, but he wanted out so i took him to our first sergeant and commander. Decent guy, just its very very difficult to be a homosexual in the armed forces.

Arabs smell awful, it really depends on where you are as far as the smell goes. Lots of open sewers and that sort of thing, but markets tend to smell good.

Depending on where you were, I wonder if I ever saw you.

I never directly delt with the Intel guys, which is to say I never spoke with them face to face.

Two words.

Incentive locker.

I gave out Johnny Walker Red very regularly. That and socker balls. But if you have a humvee thats down, or need a team to provide security or do a block party so you can talk to someone, the insentives locker is a great thing.

The intel marines i hung out with were a GREAT bunch of guys. The gave me a lot of **edited** because i was army, the whole rivalry thing, all in good fun though.

There was one week, we had just gotten showers on the FOB i was at, and we had been getting mortared pretty regularly, well, one of the mortars completely took out our brand new showers, that really ticked off the commander, marines went out and took out like 200 of the suckers.

So, they killed our shower trailer, we killed 200 of them.
