When did I call you liberal or republican... I didn't... good job, learn how to read.

If you knew who I was, you would know my post count and senority here > yours

They had to worry about that before too... Terrorism has been around for a long time, even in Iraq... and again, they don't have to worry about this coming FROM THEIR OWN GOV

Obviously you don't know your history or you would not try to say two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WARS WITH NOTHING IN COMMON have ANYTHING in common... The simple fact is, that they DO NOT.

There you go again... This really shows your intelligence and maturity level... Can't make an argument so you talk smack... again... The liberal thing to do... Nice job, you suck at life...

Chris... get this clown a Brass Monkey...

 

typo...was supposed to be 2006, just hit the wrong key and didnt notice till someone pointed it out.

Basic Training - Ft. Jackson, SC
Advanced Individual Training - FT. Eustis, VA
Duty Station - Ft. Hood, Texas

Pics Below are some pics I took when I was in Advanced Individual Training. 1/222 Aviation Regiment, Ft. Eustis, VA.

My wall locker, my bunk, my boots.

The guy in the pic was my Senior Drill Sgt (SFC) Carlos Diaz. (mean SOB to boot)

I also have a ton more pics if you need, will have to scan them in because they're not digital, but it's not a problem.

 

looks like you were telling the truth, sorry about calling bs.

 

Dems sum shiny boots you got there....

 

Im thinkin he covered them in Stay-Flo.

 

what reason would I have to lie? i dont say stuff like that unless it's true.


nope...all that is, is boot polish, rubbing alcohol, and cold water. use all that in conjunction with a heat gun and bling bling....keep Drill Sgt. very happy!

 

When i was in the USAF we would just us sta-flo on them to get em shiney. It is hard to keep much of a shine on linesman boots when yer in and out of ceilings, manholes, and work zones all day.

that sta-flo is the **** too. If you soak a uniform in it, iron the wrinkles while wet with a towel in between, and let it dry the rest of the way on its own the uniform will be so starched it will actually stand up by itself.

lol...

 

we had some guys using stuff called future...it was just a generic linoleum wax we could pick up at the PX, but man if you left it on your boots longer than 2 weeks it would turn you boots a dark blue color, then the drill sgts would make the guys using it go buy new boots, because they weren't within regulations.

but if you did it right with Future, man those things would damn near look like glass.

 

Well no worries with that anymore as the Army has transitioned to tan boots for the ACU.

As have the Marines, and the Airforce have some ugly *** green ones.


But no more boot shining for most of them.

 

Wow. Glad to see the flames are dying down.

And as for the boots, yeah, not having to polish them is nice. And no need to press the ACU either, atleast not yet.
I like the new boots, but don't care much for the new ACU. They fade almost instantly and the damn velcro patches warp and look like crap pretty quick too. Actually, I have 3 sets in the wash right now, and I'm trying to figure out how to straighten out these patches so the don't look like crap in the morning. I hate that.

Looks like someone had a pretty cozy AIT. Mine was 4 months in a bay with 100 guys stacked on top of each other (4 bays for the company). It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be though. 68W FTW!

 

those days are slowly coming to an end with the new ABU coming online. the greenish boots suck.

i never used sta-flo on the boots but i did use mopp n' glow. then i discovered leather luster.

 

Haha, everything about the new airforce uniform sucks, and everyone thought the ACU was bad.

ABU has an even worse camo scheme using the ACU colors, and the material is way too thick&heavy according to those who have fielded it in a-stan and iraq. Just another uniform designed by the guys who sit behinds their desks to add to the US military fashion show.

The Navy's is going to be sad too, I think it's shades of blue and gray..the Marines are the only ones who actually improved off of the old BDU design, too bad they won't let anyone else use it

10-32, 68W..is that healthcare?

 

i think it's actually aviation mos if im not mistaken.

also when i was getting out i heard some scuttlebutt about going to urban fatigues...black and grey. any idea what that was all about?

 

cozy my butt...we had cockroaches running the floors, rats in the walls. we did have smaller rooms 6 to a room, 3 bunks, but it wasn't exactly cozy. heat didn't work in the winter, and air didnt work in the summer...it royally sucked.

the Virginia heat is not exactly a pleasant thing....and the humidity was way worse. But VA Beach was still fun!

 

TTT

This should really be a sticky...

 

Oh, I was just kiddin' ya anyway. You know that's how we do things. Anyway, I actually enjoyed my AIT. I'm in my ASI training for M6 right now and it's really cool, but Whiskey was way more fun!



And guys, 68W = COMBAT MEDIC (AKA Healthcare Specialist), but as I recall, the signs at Ft. Sam said "Home of the Combat Medic". I didn't see **** about "healthcare specialist" anywhere.

 

Probably would be more sticky-able if it weren't for all the bickering that took place. Not really a good representation of the Armed Forces, IMO.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I love your sig, and thanks again.

 

Hehe, are you color-blind by chance?

 

Thanks... Donnie, "Slither", made it for me...
