[longtom4570]

I've run into three posers one was a Coast guard SEEL,another was shot in the back with an RPG (prolly had balistic plates taped to his back)in Viet Nam and another was in the Rangers in Nam, talked about all of the cross border stuff and such sheesh

Great thread!

I will second (or third?) that desire for that particular Vulcan. Can I have a borg too?


Of course this 20yr old has been to 'Nam and Desert Storm! I have such |337 $k!||z that they demanded that I use my speed-limited DeLorean (88mph) to travel back in time and help.

I want to know how they knew that it did that. I have been meaning to get that fixed...

Ahh, the internet. Heck, for all you guys know, I could be a black-market arms dealer that lives an action packed life of excitement and danger!

Sadly between the internet, ebay, paypal, gun broker, and auction arms YOU REALLY COULD BE BOTH.

And not one person here would have a clue.

Slacker.

LOL I'm just a bad shot.

Despite the fact I was very fit when I went to boot, I wasn't very limber (still ain't), which made shooting pretty uncomfortable. I always did best at the off-hand string, but that just isn't enough to carry the day on the KD range.

I worked with a guy who was always relaying his "Vietnam Stories", and I doubt he was even there! The best was how, in addition to whatever toilet-cleaning-like duties he had, at night he'd go "grab a bomber" and go bomb the VC and NVA! Then return home, land the plane and go back to toilet cleaning, I guess.

This is a guy who would impress upon his family the grave danger of his everyday job and warn them he might not come home. We worked for a big utilty in the natural gas regulation department! The only reason he might not go home was because he was an idiot!

Hmmm...found something related to our disciplines on that site. This guy is a firearms instructor in California, anyone taken a class from him??? His website (with lots of annoying music from airwolf, a-team, etc) is here:

His listing on the authentiseal page is here:

Yeah, I served in the Clone Wars. Gave Yoda some lightsaber tips. I had that Vader guy in my sights one day on Beta Carotene V, in the Omega 3 cluster, but those REMFs in the Alliance wouldn't give me authorization to take the shot. Something about an unjustifiable use of Force. I can't really talk about it. Besides, it happened a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.



Jedi...levitate!

Way back I worked as a cleaner for the Agency. When there absolutely couldn't be any evidence left behind...they called me. Sometimes it got ugly, really ugly. But it was my duty...my calling. Not just anybody could do what I did. It took a certain callousness, especially the wet work.

I remember once when a hungover Iraqi defector threw up in the seventh floor debriefing room. Who knew a human body could hold that much puke? They called me in. I put on the latex gloves and got to work. Several mop buckets and lots of Simple Green later you could never tell the Great Baclava Yawn had ever taken place. I got that room clean. So clean that the Congressional group that came by the next day never suspected they were sitting in Ground Zero...

I was "recruited" to serve in "Nam. Yeah I was underage but the big dogs heard about some of my "skills" and brought me on board. Did a couple of tours there. Saw some shi....err stuff, nobody knows about and will never see the light of day. Had to do some of it too.

I swear, this is essentially the story a friend's friend was telling him and later related to me. The only photo I saw of him in the military was a group photo of his unit of new recruits relaxing at boot camp. Couldn't show me any others. Top secret, ya know.
