So you can tell your bosss when you will report for work?Originally Posted by Psychoblues
How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

GO back up and read the thread. His accumulated deployed time is nothing. He's trying to count each and ever workup or TDY.
By his standards, I could multiply my total number of deployments by four.

Since we really don't know what the hell he did, we just don't know do we?He probably had a really tough job in the military like a cook or something too.Probably got a Purple Heart for dish pan hands!
Did I read that you said you were never in the military? I notice you are quick to insult without real knowledge. Your usually sharper than that, I'm suprised!
Maybe the guy was gung-ho at one time and has changed his mind, you know, like Hillary or John Kerry.
Oh, by the way. One of the hardest damn jobs in the military is a cook, just so you know. When I was on the Ranger in 1976 we had a cook who could cook every special order egg for the breakfast line. He was a hoot to watch. The dude cooked 2,000 eggs in a couple of hours. He could fill the entire 6 ft grill with omelettes, over mediums, easy's and other specials and get every single one perfect, every morning, every time. On top of that he memorized what each crewman ate each morning, you need say nothing. Amazing. Ask some of these military cats on here who is their favorite or was their favorite person in the military and I would think the cook would rate out well.

Were you a reservist or enlisted full time?
Is there a difference, when it comes to time spent, in a war zone for them verses a full timer, enlisted man? Or do they have to spend the same amount of time overseas in a war zone as someone who was enlisted, full time, not in the Reserves?
I honestly do not know, and admittantly don't truely understand how it all works?

There maybe something to say for the Navy cooks. Of course the guys we appreciated the most were the medics and the chopper pilots. The cooks were not so appreciated in the army. Although their status improved somewhat when we were attached to the Marines for a while. The Navy provided the chow which was incredibly good. Much better than what we usually got when we came out of the field. But for the most part we lived on c-rats.
I believe most bases and posts now use civilian contractors, so military cooks are not as common any more except in the Navy aboard ship.
In my unit the cook was just a guy who volunteered for the job to get out of the field.
When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.
You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

Deployed time is deployed time. One day for one day. War zone or not. Reservist or regular.
If you call me a reservist, we WILL have angry words. I an a 20 year, retired active duty Marine

So,,,,,,,,,you get pissed about being called a reservist?
As you already know I have done both from the Viet Nam war (purely active duty) to the Grenada, Panama and Persion Gulf I thing, all National Guard.Deployed time is deployed time. One day for one day. War zone or not. Reservist or regular.

The piss ant self appointed 6 star general in the White House did time in the Texas ANG, could not complete his assignments and opted out early despite contrary need of his country and respect of his peers.
The Reservists and Guardspeople of today deserve far more than that one ever earned.
You got angry words for Reservists and Guardsmen of today? Spit them out, cowgirl!!!!!!!!!!!! But I do understand completely your disdain for the others!!!!!!!!

I have never claimed that I had done everything but that is not important here.
I have certainly done, am doing and am determined to do far more for my country and countrymen than you could possibly imagine. Keep on posting your nonsense, nm. I'm not the only one that has noticed your idiocies.

nice repost Radbrad, specially since it really doesn't have anything to do about this guy complaining that he is getting shipped out again.
i think that there are more military and war on terror threads that you can put that list in just so you know

Either these cats just can't read or they choose to ignore the facts. Either way, I don't think they understand at all!!!!!!!!
I never met a warrior that was a chickenshit. I've met plenty of warhawks that were. Wonder how that circumstance holds up in the chickenshit department?
