Sir,
     I never said I was a Board Certified Opthamologist. But it did not blind him and he was taken up the chain of command and they punished him accordingly. Everyone is taking this out of proportion it was a thread about stories and I told one.

You stated that as a fact that Tabascos sauce WILL NOT blind you. I tell you that it can as I've seen it back on bragg. Just because it didn't blind him in one incident; that doesn't mean that it can't.

There are stories that are fun or cool to tell. This is not one of them. It could be the inspiration for someone that may end up permanently blinding them.

Just because some real military personnel do it, that does not mean it is ok for any use, and ABSOLUTELY NOT ok for somebody to put it in another's eyes.

At KSWG Encampments, guidon stealing has been outlawed. The only way a guidon can get "snatched" is if it is left by the flight and they don't realize it, a command staff member or senior may grab it up and take it back to Wing HQ (our encampments are at Wing HQ), to sit in the encampment commander's office. It is up to the encampment commander how the flight will get their guidon back. Over the past couple couple years, they have required a letter written by the flight asking for it back and a little bit of groveling. We have also done away with singing to get misplaced items back.
Sir, I went to the KSWG Winter Encampment as a basic last year, and there was a case of guidon stealing by the staff, led by a C/2Lt (who also happened to be the Commandant's son).

My encampment was pretty standard. Best story I have was freaking out on the way there, about buying a new, more subdued watch, on account of the fact that I was worried I wouldn't be allowed to keep my neon green G Shock. Ended up with a 10 dollar watch. Saw plenty of people with G Shocks. A good time was had by all.

Aw, they actually let you use watches? Not knowing what the heck your staff is going to do next is half the fun!  ;D ;)

Anyway, a story about guidons... Last year, I attended OHWG ATS (Advanced Training Squadron). About halfway through encampment, Squadron 3 (Basic squadron) actually lost their guidon. And I mean lost, as in nobody knew where it was. So, our ATS Commander decided to make them a new one...out of duct tape and ballpoint pens.  ;D We made the actual pennant entirely out of duct tape, and the staff was comprised of twisted duct tape, empty ballpoint pens, tent stakes, and anything else we could find. Then our more artistic cadets wrote out the letter/number designations, along with some *cough* motivational graphics *cough*. We then proceeded to present the guidon to the Squadron 3 Commander, who was a tad flustered, to say the least. However, they treated that guidon like their own for the rest of the week, though it did sag a bit when performing Present Arms...  ;) ;D ;D ;D

Yeah, they didn't let us basics have watches at last summer's MAWG Encampment.

"not knowing if you could keep it"?

Was it on the list? If not, it goes in a bag, or something, and you get it back when you leave. Unless it's food, they usually eat that. ;)

On the topic of the Tobasco sauce, I'm good friends with the Alpha Flight sergeant from the AL/MS 2011 encampment, and the Encampment Commandant, and I'm pretty sure the Tobasco was put on the cadet's mouth, not his eyes. Knowing the commandant, if the cadet had put the sauce in the victim's eyes, he would have been dismissed.

Having a watch is no fun. When I was at my basic encampment the closest I got to knowing the time was the clock in the cafeteria. Anybody else here going to be a flight sergeant at their next encampment?

Excellent, so instead of blinding him, he might have aspirated it, or vomited all over himself and his rack - so much better.

Echo eels? Echo Earthworms? I think Echo Eardrops would go over well...But the elephant on a giudon might go over well. But I like Echo Electricity.  8)
