Never snorted sugar, but I once smoked a salmon.and here i was as a regular civi just crushing sugar and snorting it for fun
Sounds good, but I think the beer would over power the rum and brandy/
Very popular drink in the Phillipines. Lots of US military bases in that area these days. If you're stationed that close to the South China Sea... Gonna need plenty of Mojo. Jus' Sayin'Sounds good, but I think the beer would over power the rum and brandy/
Aaahhhh the memories.
Knew a lot of guys that were stationed at Clark AFB in the 80's. I was sent to Europe for two years. But there is drink in Puerto Rico called Gasolina. It comes in a pouch like Capri Sun drinks for kids. It's a rum drink but it really does taste close to gasoline but two pouches and you are pretty buzzed.Very popular drink in the Phillipines.

More of a boilermaker kind of guy myself...
I was never a big drinker, actually. A couple beers suits me fine. I was the sarge who made sure nobody got left behind. Heh Learning what was in the drinks my troops were gettin' wasted on sorta became a hobby.More of a boilermaker kind of guy myself...
You probably need a beer yourself now.Took a while to wade through the sea of testosterone but I made it!
Ok now that made me laugh. True but made me laugh. That is why I love LRH, the story itself is great, but everyone can relate to it. Rather you're a biker (tried it in the 70's and flew over the handle bars of my friends motorcycle decide it was not for me), or a veteran it pulls us into the story. I can't wait for the next update.Took a while to wade through the sea of testosterone but I made it!

Your military experience was very different from mine and every vet I've ever known... maybe it's a you issue?Sorry, but I'm gonna double post.
Quite a few ex-military become bikers especially the 1% because in their military life, they lived with structure, the outlaw biking community incorporated that because it was created by WW2 Vets coming home and not having employment or being so broken that they could not get employment or just not wanting to fit back into society. Yet the closeness of brotherhood shared between their compatriots filled the void and allowed them to "Live".
Leap forward many years, I am ex-military (tank crew commander), we are taught to be "Elite" (the best of the best) I am trained on every weapon in my country's arsenal + h2h combat. (Where am I going with this?)
When I was serving there was no professional courtesy {dude meets guy in bar, hey what do you do? I wash windows, "no shit I do that too, hey let me buy you a beer and swap stories!"} In the military we ask what are you? I'm a Zipperhead, grunt/airborne/special forces/medic... que the fight...
I once went to a wedding for a girl I knew since kindergarten, we were close friends in school and growing up & she married an Infantryman and he asked her who I was after I hugged her at the reception she told him that we were close friends until I joined the military as a"tank jockey", I then had 5 tables of assholes in jeans & lumberjack shirts attack me in a 3 piece suit (I guess the groom didn't like me) The wedding turned into a brawl (the brides 2 brothers & nasty dad fought on my side) but the wedding ended up being a dumpster fire and the bride's mom (who was also my friend just getting wrecked)
Their are mess halls to this day with yellow duct tape down the middle with armed MP's on site to see that we play nice...
Same goes for biker lifestyle, you can only depend on your brothers (like the guys I served with) But in my wall of text you should understand that Rogues & anybody else can never co-exist, ever!
Depends on when you were in and where you were. I was in the UK 80-82 but TDY to Germany every 6 weeks for 2 weeks with the A-10 squadron I was attached to. Been to many a bar outside of Army bases there that when door kickers and tankers mixed in the same bar the shit hit the fan.Your military experience was very different from mine and every vet I've ever known... maybe it's a you issue?
Must've gotten buttoned up real quick cause my dad was mobile cav in late 80s early 90s in Germany and doesn't have any tales of that kinda shit going down.Depends on when you were in and where you were.

Some of that attitude was likely collateral Feng Shui from the Yanks and Brits thing. Some of it might have been the chip on the shoulder that fly boys tend to have because they catch so much shit about "not being real soldiers". Trust me. When grunts need to call in air support they are damned impressed with the result. Marines have the advantage of it often being another Marine when the air gets called. I was never around tanks at all so, I don't know much about the lore. But, it wouldn't take much imagination to visualize tankers thinking they are the baddest of the bad because they ride armored artillary and heavy machine gun platforms.

I'm not saying there aren't bouts of individual idiocy mind you, we had a navigator get into a punch up with the pilot, fortunately co-pilot took the stick while engineer bike them up, over Iraq on one of our birds, but that was two morons moroning not some kind of deep seated navigator vs pilot war.
Were you on KC-135's?. The dust up did not last long as each side hustled them outside the bar plus the German bar owners did not put up with much shit either.Must've gotten buttoned up real quick cause my dad was mobile cav in late 80s early 90s in Germany and doesn't have any tales of that kinda shit going down.

EC-130s. Thats the kinda shit that woulda had the entire squadron on some kinda weekend detail while I was in. We'd get weekend cleanup if one idiot got a dui, for not keeping our wingmen outta trouble.Were you on KC-135's?.

Nice, they used to have a EC-130 squadron at Keesler when I was there. 7th ACCS I believe they called it back then.EC-130s.

You serve in the same unit as I?I'm just a pervert who love Dima's girls![]()
