Home Sweet Home

[Texas Cop]

Got in yesterday morning, and I'm on leave until 03 Jan Get some good quality time in with the Mrs...(it will be the last chance for a while)....15 weeks, 6 broken bones (2 toes, 2 fingers, 1 rib, and a fractured hip) later, I am *almost* a Scout! 23 days left of training when I return to Ft. Knox, then I'm off to Air Assault to jump outta helicopters for 2 weeks My orders from there are to Camp Casey Korea, and from there to the sandbox with parts of the 2ID (frickin Army couldn't put me in a Cav unit, nooooo...they have to stick me with the infantry pukes )...

Any of you Texas crew up for a little holiday get together??

Andrew

[caudio51]

Great to hear from you! I was wondering how you were doing. Looks like getting beat up! Best of luck with everything and it certainly sounds like you are keeping yourself busy!

Make sure to smoke some good ones while you're back home!

 

[JDP]

If I lived in Texas I'd buy you a beer and a big cigar. Thanks for your service!
:usaflag: :rifleaim:

[jcgoldner]

welcome back Andrew, enjoy the vacation!

 

[GuyMcBeerdrinker]

dang, I'd like to hear the stories of how you broke that many bones.

 

[tedski]

Welcome back Andrew ... at least temporarily!
Hope you have a good Christmas + New Years with the Mrs. :santa2:

....15 weeks, 6 broken bones (2 toes, 2 fingers, 1 rib, and a fractured hip) later, I am *almost* a Scout!

Damn! I knew the Marines kicked butt ... but I didn't think they kicked their own as well.

 

[Wasch_24]

He's in the Army Ted.

Ericf just left for the Marines.

Just another consequence of old age I guess. :hysterica

 

[tedski]

Smart young whipper-snapper. Come over here so I can smack you with my walker ...:ninja:

So in retrospect, the above should read ...

....15 weeks, 6 broken bones (2 toes, 2 fingers, 1 rib, and a fractured hip) later, I am *almost* a Scout!

Damn! But I guess you should consider yourself lucky you didn't sign up for the Marines!

 

[Black Dog]

Good to have you back Andrew!

 

[Jwrussell]

Welcome back TC! I too would be curious to hear the stories on those broken bones! Holy cow!

 

[tripp]

Yeah..we need the broken bone stories.

Gald you have made it this far.

good luck.

One of the broken toes is courtesy of a barrel swap gone bad on an .50 cal:stickbeat , not sure where the other one came from...Both broken fingers and my broken rib are courtesy of hand to hand combatives classes, and the fractured hip, your guess is as good as mine, I woke up one day and couldn't walk:eyepoke: ...

As to the Marines, well, I hope the tankers and mechanics we encounter at Knox are no indication of their infantry and recon elements, or Chesty Puller is sure to be rolling in is grave :rofl:

ANybody got any smoke suggestions?

Andrew
