Ironic enough, after we were in Schweinfurt we moved to Vilseck which is still a pretty nice and big community although a hell of a drive away, atleast last I checked (circa 2003).

Conn and Ledward are still seperated, and Askren Manor is still seperated from both of them. This makes things a bit inconvenient, considering that you constantly have to go through checkpoints as you commute between the areas. (I do have some fun speaking with the guards who are German, though.)

I'm on Conn, but I'm on post as little as possible, especially since my linguistic abilities allow me to travel pretty freely. I'm also in pretty heavy demand as a "battle buddy".

I don't think you were in 1st AD. This used to be 3rd ID country before 1st ID took over. Before that it was 8th ID country. IIRC you should have been here during the x-itional periods between 8th and 3rd ID.

I'll keep that in mind, but since I'm limited to biking and public trans I don't know if I'll make the trip. I do regularly do into the bakery in Niederwerrn to hit the bakery. God, I missed German bread these last 21 years...

Well, I'm going to continue my beer drinking now. (Yeah, I fell off the wagon about two weeks after I got here...)

Cheers,

Battle buddy? Is that some army or homo code?

And what's with the quotes?

Well, a "battle buddy" is the guy you're not supposed to leave. You're supposed to be practically inseperable, whether you're out on the town or jumping from foxhole. Some units assign them, others just have you grab someone at random, just so that you're not going off somewhere by yourself.

Why is it in quotes? Well, I have an academic background, and often I fall back on habits. When writing academically you enclose terms not in common use in quotes.

Now you know, and knowing...well, you get the idea.

Cheers,

Well thanks. You learn something new every day.

This is a tried and tested method of ensuring survival and loyalty, dating back to the Sacred Band of Thebes!

Kashluk · Post by **Kashluk** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 11:10 am

Yup. I've heard that also the Spartans used this method, succesfully even.

Urizen · Post by **Urizen** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 11:41 am

Yup, a little intercourse goes a long way!

They explained all of this in the shitflick titled Troy

Urizen · Post by **Urizen** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 2:38 pm

bet they didn't tell the whole story. if the movie Troy were in the least bit realistic, Brad Pitt would have been some older soldier's manbitch, walking around like charlie chaplin after last night's gangbang.

Oy, I meant Alexander, in which Farrell does have a manbitch.

We had that same thing back in Summer Camp, except it was called something like "Bathroom Buddy", where you couldn't go piss in the woods without another camper to go with you and hold your dick.
