That is absolutely absurd!

Phil - it is OVER QUALIFIED, not disqualified.

Thanks for the course correction Master Chief. It still sucks to be told you can't do something. Can't isn't a word that fits well into my vernacular. It's enough to drive one to drink!

Careful, apparently that is no longer allowed.....

Damn good thing I retired years ago, after drinking and whoring my way all over the Far East.....

Starting to think I would have been a better fit for the Guard in the 50's & 60's when it wasnt quite so PC.

Phil, if your situation was the case 40 years ago there wouldn't have been any Warrants

Hans,

Think they would have de-Warranted that one we knew that gave his wife a dose after returning from Nam?

BAck on topic....kind of...

You might have been in the OLD Guard if you ever went drinking with your C.O. and X.O.

Hey Stan, completley off-topic, but there's a message over on the Bulletin board section for you in case you hadn't seen! -RX

Thanks Jeff. Another AZ Coastie. He was a BM so has problems using his computer apparently.

You tell your spouse to pick up some "soogie powder" so you can field day the bathroom.

The year before I made CWO (fourth try) I received a signed letter from the President of the Board, stating I "lacked the qualities desired of a CWO." Since I was working in G-Pdp-1 (the Deputy, Office of Personnel and Training Budget Staff) someone from PO gave me the "skinny" - maybe those Page Sevens for drinking (this was before there were Alcohol Incidents) had something to do with it.

So - a letter to the next year's board, a glowing recommendation from the boss, (and putting on the Anchors) and I made CWO off the next list, June 1, 1991. In November, 1991 I went to the Naval Alcohol Rehab Center at NAS Miramar...haven't had a drink since!

While on the phone- you use "stand by" instead of "hold on"

you get nervous when someone says repeat vice say again your last

You adjust to a civilian job by reminding yourself that it is better than being on a “white one”.

Have to explain “stand fast” to your non-military co-workers.

Refer to your lawn mower as CG “cutter grass.”

Tell your kids mess cook horror stories when they complain about their food.

vftb-

How did you post, where did you find, that emoticon?

I still use “Good copy on all; over” when on the phone.
