Duck and Cover

I'm a Staff Sergeant in the Mechanized Infantry and am currently in charge of a Bradley Section of two vehicles. Pros: - Decent pay, especially since I'm married now. - Passable benefits - Opportunities for travel - Experiencing things most only dream of. - Qualifications that have very lucrative po...

I'd imagine a broken toe would be pretty handy in getting time out from the military deployment though. Nope, it sure ain't. I'll have to break something a bit more substantial if I want to do that. Like my femure... 'grats/condolences on getting married, mate. :lol: Thanks, I'm not sure which it i...

If it's any consolation, Stainless, I broke my little toe last week. Stubbed it on a door, heard it crack and hopped around the room on one foot while naked. My main concern was that I'd be gimping into the Reno court house to get hitched. No such problem, though, I've been running around here while...

If that's the case then you and jazz have at least two things in common.

However, it isn't the case, so you're alone in being boring and useless.

Dave Brubeck ain't dead yet.

I agree. :cigarette:

Funny, you don't act like it.

If you'd left "rapper" out of the above statement you'd have been right on the money, though.

Gone missing: DAC's token senior citizen Here was me thinking that I was DaC's token senior citizen... Speaking of the -- *ahem* -- older crowd...has 4too posted lately? Or is he confining himself to NMA? I always got a kick out of his posts. He's also responsible for the S&M vibe in that horri...

I used to smoke fairly frequently, especially hookah and found that hookah bars were a great place to chill with groups of people. I went to a hookah bar once to see a friend of mine who has taken up belly dancing. The funny thing about the whole experience was that you could sit in a smoke-filled ...

One of the things I think people in favor of smoking bans overlook is the (rather obvious) question of, "Where does it stop?" Is smoking "neccesary"? No more than playing video games is. Of course, most people will say that playing video games isn't harming anyone. However, you'r...

Personally, I've been smoking for almost 22 years at a pretty much constant rate of 1-1/2 packs a day. The sad thing is that I can out-run and out-bike most people I know, especially those in my age group. I'm getting pretty sick and tired of all of the smoking bans, and I think it's pretty ironic t...

Personally I like torching BMWs.

The same can be said of Mercedes.

There really is nothing like the smell of Thermite in the morning.

The only really cool thing about being in a combat zone is this: being encouraged to do things that you'd get thrown in jail for at home.

I just envisioned Blargh looking like the Shriners on the cover of Frankenchrist by the Dead Kennedys...

I guess Stainless is either fucked or will be spared Oblivion w/Guns.

It all depends on how you look at it.

First of all, no use throwing statistics at me. Those figures vary in every combat situation and are at most a best guess. Since CC games are mostly situated in WWII Europe, the ratios could be different during that time period. Those statistics are from WWII. The indirect fire stat is specific to ...

Again, y'all should play Close Combat as all those factors are accounted for...[T]he game offers the best illusion of war up to date. I'm highly sceptical, to say the least. Since this is an accurate portrayal of war then only about 15% of US troops involved in the scenario actually fire thier weap...

The voice acting in the game is good too, idle squads actually talk amongst themselves and some of their click-responses are funny too (ie, a paratrooper squad will say "I'm a little fucking busy!" as they're taking fire). Funny you should bring that up. A friend of mine emailed me this m...

Aneurysm, are you referring to Rex Exitium?

It took me a minute or two to get beyond "asian" and "small penis", but the name finally came to me.

:heh: That stage, eh? I think it's funny that a card carrying member of American Athiests who has supported Nader in the last two elections and will continue to do so in this upcoming one is wearing the digital monkey suit... I like to tell people that, "I'm so fuckin' punk I joined the Army.&q...

What about Viktor? Looks like his last post was over three years ago. Anyone heard anything from/about him?
