How long can you tread water?

I got lots of floaty things from Wally World... ;D..besides.  I served 4 years and never set foot on a boat.  My brother served 23 years and never saw sea service until the 1st Gulf War.  My other brother served on a submarine....

Not all squids are destined for the high seas....some of us were just secret squirrels types....

I agree with TAB, It's a long SWIM home  ;D
Still got the Air Force beat though.   ;D

I agree, the aircraft will generally fly all the way to the crash site!

I still have one of my lovely e-tools. From digging fox holes in the sand at Fort Dixx, New Jersey and filling sand bags for bunkers in Aviano, Italy, I absolutely loved it. For Air Base Ground Defense you had to dig the foxhole chest high. The secondary floor was for water when it rained. Poncho liners gave good cover during rainy weather. Sticks were placed at the corners for fields of fire. There were two airmen for each foxhole. Security Police was basicly the Air Force's infantry. Great time and would do it all again if I could. Of course we were also taught to dig in with our helmets. That absolutely sucked and was glad to see kevlar helmets when I got to Aviano and not the old steel pots that we had during training at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas and Ft. Dixx, New Jersey.

PS: Ft. Dixx (A shitty Army Base) taught me to appreciate that I was in the Air Force cause the food and barracks were better along with the smell of the women!!!  :o

The only thing in the army lower is a cadet. I flee from that reasoning. Real men dig their own. The higher your rank, the better you ought to be at it, and its your duty (a leadership function if you will) to show us poor grunts how to do it correctly, Sir! (somehow that never caught on) :-\ ;D

As a Sgt of Marines I considered it my duty to ensure my junior Marines were trained and fit to dig in during wartime.

Feel free to replace "dig in" with "clean heads", "swab decks" and "wash Humvees" as appropriate.  ;)

As a Private of Marines I considered it MY duty to avoid Sgt.s like you as much as possible.  ;D

Ah, a shirker and layabout. 

Or, as I called myself when the situation was reversed, a "Master of E&E".  ;D

""Master of E&E".  Grin"

Not nearly "masterful" enough. Although volunteering for Guard duty kept me out of a lot of worse stuff.  ;D

Old Army joke:

2nd LT " Staff Sgt, where my foxhole?"

Staff Sgt " Right there Lt, just move the dirt and rocks out of your way."

That's rightous and funny!
“As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people.  On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and a complete narcissistic moron.”  H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun,  July 26, 1920.
