They are going to be good next year. Sad about Skip. And no, you have no need to fear the turtle. I don't think anyone in the ACC does for a while. I'm a Duke grad. We should be pretty good next year too. Stay safe.remotemanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03539143926380713370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478838097254770383.post-39423076595161589152008-05-16T15:21:00.000-07:002008-05-16T15:21:00.000-07:00Funny story.

I love your sense of humor, sarcastic wit and true grit. I have only found one flaw in your character...the fact that you come from the wrong neck of the ACC woods! FEAR THE TURTLE baby! Yes, that's right, Terp fan and U of MD alums in my neck of the woods. But, since I have a soft spot in my heart for all things soldier, I will forgive your Demon Deaconness. <BR/>My daughter is a PUKE fan of all things! Now back to your post....very funny and I loved your version of "red clarity." Skull-dragging sounds like fun! Still trying to figure out who's who in your cast of Gravediggers. I have a cheat sheet and I am studying it. Please explain the whYkids? I think two of them are living in my house!!! God(s) bless your wise-cracking, skull-draggin' butts, take care Lt.

The Sawha and the IPs should be glad they didn't have to deal with those behemoths. <BR/><BR/>As for movie quotes in military training, there was a guy in a squadron across the dorm from mine at FT that muttered in a pitch perfect Napoleon Dynamite voice to his squadron commander (another cadet) "Shut up, Bergstrom, gosh!"<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately for him, one of our trainers overheard it, so in true Air Farce fashion, we got a "stern talking to." "Dropping," of course, being considered "Physical Discipline" was outlawed a few years ago.<BR/><BR/>Great post, made me laugh out loud...as most of yours do.Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10122811314990661743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478838097254770383.post-44253596741019216592008-05-14T18:50:00.000-07:002008-05-14T18:50:00.000-07:00Wow, this post had a lot of, um, surprises, I thought.Macynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478838097254770383.post-25782063783101557972008-05-14T17:57:00.000-07:002008-05-14T17:57:00.000-07:00My team spoke almost exclusively in <I>Anchorman</I> and <I>Napoleon Dynamite</I> quotes. I didn't watch these movies until a particularly slow point 2/3 the way through the deployment. The remaining 1/3 didn't necessarily make any more sense, conversationally, but at least I got the joke.<BR/><BR/>One of my classmates in AIT got the entire class dropped for mumbling (under his breath, of course), "I wish you weren't a liar" shortly after the instructor had made some sort of grandiose statement.<BR/><BR/>SigSighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13075928393817224607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478838097254770383.post-52350545837879768222008-05-14T17:30:00.000-07:002008-05-14T17:30:00.000-07:00LT G: Correction, you are a young Dick Winters and you'll have the same peaceful life as he has had since his WWII years. BTW: There's some talk Maj. Winters is being considered now for the MoH and hope it goes through quickly as he's over 90-years old now.<BR/><BR/>Also, BTW, it seems the issue now in Iraq isn't just nation building but also guiding Iraqis into a normal life w/o a dictator sh'ting over them. You and your GDs are doing a great job. Your reward should be several cases of cold Guinness whenever you wish.<BR/><BR/>Beware the Ghost Pandas, those ugly mean wusses.
