Too many family members and buddies dealing with that now.

You are welcome.

Not a good situation.

@Whithers I was an Operation Specialist - fancy name for a Radar Man. I qualified for Nuke training, which was coming in on a waiver because of excessive traffic tickets - lead foot as a kid.

Arthritis or Afghanistan?

I had testicle spurs

Wow Talon. Freaking genius

So they wouldn't take me

Well, I was a Combat Electronics Warfare Signals Intelligence Analyst, ROFL.

Claim medical leave abroad. It works!

@inwa, you just advanced to level 1!

How do you figure?

Ummm...Testicle spur is another name for erection

Hahaha

I knew there had to be a name for it.

Whither, wow you saw the last draft. We should bring it back as a placebo to scare our people to be humble

Of course I faked it, so it was really "Erection fraud".

Sorry I am catching up

My kid think there's something wrong with me... I just about spit beer out my nose. Thanks, @True

They changed all the designations but back then I was a 98C. I don't know what it is now. Sad part of it for me is my unit has been decomissioned.

Interesting... The ship I was on has also been decommissioned.

They reorganized my unit after 9/11

Testicle spurs. 😄 San Antonio Testicle Spurs

Thanks @Benny2Toes I spit wine all over my desk. I needed that kind of laugh

@True, you just advanced to level 2!

We were the 125th MI Bn Eyes of Lightning!

I would have been a rear observer

@Buzzweiser, you just advanced to level 3!

Not unless she gave you permission.

Hi, I’m your Boogieman that’s what I am.

I would have beem courtmarshalled so fast

Pre, During, and Post.... In writing.

😆

Thank God my dad had military values because even though I must have had the longest adolescences of all time, I STILL think of his expectations everyday

It helps. I gotta go to bed. C y'all again sometime, ya hear?

Night

I'm going to go take care of this testicle spur.

Really acts up right before bed.

😄

My grandmother told us that we were descended of Increase Mather (father of Cotton Mather - from the Salem Witchcraft Trials infamy - though she always made a point of saying that we were not descended from Cotton). We have an extensive genealogy and it shows that my ancestors have fought (and some died) in every conflict since before the Revolutionary War. I was brought up with it. My parents served, my uncle in Vietnam, my grandfather and his brothers in WWII, my great grandfather and his brother in WWI... you get the idea.

@Whithers It's been a pleasure...
