I have 3 tats, 2 are spiritual and one is of an eagle with a banner underneath it that says "Freedom". I plan on getting more, however I will be designing my own from here on out.
I am well. Hope you are. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the Army beats working for old man Minch by a mile. Tell them To join up quick before maybe all of the places are filled. I was restless at first because you got to stay in bed till nearly 6 a.m., but am getting so I like to sleep late.
Tell Walt and Elmer all you do before breakfast is smooth your cot and shine some things. No hogs to slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay. Practically nothing. Men got to shave but it is not so bad, there's warm water.
Breakfast is strong on trimmings like fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon, etc., but kind of weak on chops, potatoes, ham, steak, fried eggplant, pie and other regular food. But tell Walt and Elmer you can always sit between two city boys that live on coffee. Their food plus yours holds you till noon, when you get fed again. It's no wonder these city boys can't walk much.
We go on "route" marches, which the Drill Sergeant says are long walks to harden us. If he thinks so, it is not my place to tell him different. A "route march" is about as far as to our mailbox at home. Then the city guys get sore feet and we all ride back in trucks. The country is nice, but awful flat. The Sergeant is like a schoolteacher. He nags some.
The Captain is like the school board. Majors and Colonels just ride around and frown. They don't bother you none.
This next will kill Walt and Elmer with laughing. I keep getting medals for shooting. I don't know why. The bulls-eye is near as big as a chipmunk head and don't move. And it ain't shooting at you, like the Higgett boys at home. All you got to do is lie there all comfortable and hit it. You don't even load your own cartridges.
They come in boxes.
Then we have what they call hand-to-hand combat training. You get to wrestle with them city boys. I have to be real careful though, they break real easy. It ain't like fighting with that ole bull at home. I'm about the best they got in this except for that Tug Jordan from over in Silver Lake. He joined up the same time as me. But I'm only 5'6" and 130 pounds and he's 6'8" and weighs near 300 pounds dry.
Be sure to tell Walt and Elmer to hurry and join before other fellers get onto this setup and come stampeding in.
Its really a shame that many people will judge a book by its cover. I wish more people could see the real person that most of us are on the inside, then what we are wearing. Yes, I said I might have a "warped" sense of humor most of the time, however I only present that when it is appropriate or when a good laugh is needed. I think many people would be shocked to see just how really different we truly are, then by what we are wearing.
When Osama Bin Laden was killed by the U.S. Military, he was met at the Pearly Gates by George Washington, who slapped him across the face and yelled, "How dare you try to destroy the nation I helped conceive!"
Patrick Henry approached, punched him in the nose and shouted, "You wanted to end our liberties but you failed."
James Madison followed, kicked him in the groin and said, "This is why I allowed our government to provide for the common defense!"
Thomas Jefferson was next, beat Osama with a long cane and snarled, "It was evil men like you who inspired me to write the Declaration of Independence."
The beatings and thrashings continued as George Mason, James Monroe and 66 other early Americans unleashed their anger on the terrorist leader.
As Osama lay bleeding and in pain, an Angel appeared. Bin Laden wept and said, "This is not what you promised me."
The Angel replied, "I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you in Heaven. What did you think I said?"
Sgt Homer, a handsome dude, walks into the NCO Club and sits down next to this blonde at the bar and stares up at the TV. The 10:00 PM news was on.
The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building preparing to jump.
The blonde looks at Sgt Homer and says, "Do you think he will jump?"
Sgt Homer says, "You know, I bet he'll jump."
The blonde replied. "Well, I bet he won't."
Sgt Homer placed a $20 dollar bill on the bar and said, "You're on!"
Just as the blonde placed her money on the bar, the guy did a swan dive off of the building and fell to his death. The blonde was very upset and hands her $20 dollars to Sgt Homer and said, "All is fair. Here is your money."
Sgt Homer replies. "I can't take your money. I saw this earlier on the five o'clock news and I knew he would jump."
The blonde replies, "I did too, but I didn't think he'd do it again."
A retired veteran walked into a supermarket with his zipper down. A lady cashier walked up to him and said, "Your barracks door is open. I mean your fly is open." He smiled, zipped up and finished his shopping.
At the checkout, he intentionally got in the line where the lady was that told him about his "barracks door." He was planning to have a little fun with her so-when he reached the counter, he said, "When you saw my barracks door open, did you see an impressive soldier standing in there at attention?"
The lady, smarter than the man, thought for a moment and said, "Oh no, I didn't. All I saw was a little guy sitting on a couple of tattered duffel bags."
Greetings back to you Nuliiiiii. I have relatives over in Dublin. Havent been there in about 40 years though. Would love to go back and see it sometime.
I have been on this site for only a couple of months now, and have started getting really interested in the threads. I would like to make some new friends, join in the discussions, and have a few laughs.
Yes, I have three tattoos, two are spiritual, and one represents total freedom. One of the best decision I ever made. I also plan on getting more in the near future. However I am planning on designing the rest of my tattoos myself.
Little Johnny was home with his mother one afternoon, and they were discussing free will. She then posed a question to Little Johnny, "Would you like to watch tv or do your homework??". Little Johnny told his mom that he wanted to watch tv. She then smacked him and yelled at him. After a few minutes she again asked him if he wanted to watch tv or do his homework, and again he said that he wanted to watch tv. She again smacked him and yelled at him some more. For the third time she asked Johnny if he wanted to watch tv or do his homework, and he had a really scared look on his face, and said that he wanted to do his homework. His mother then smiled and said to him, "isnt free will wonderful??"
