Wait... Is there another belief about charms?
It isn't so much another belief, but a matter of the variation in the ritual that goes with the belief.  My younger brother said that in his battallion he had to burn them when he found them and that was enough.  We had to sacrifice something good, poundcake for example, with the charms.  If not, it would rain or snow or rain and snow.  I've run into a guy from 1st Armored who said as long as they were thrown away with the rest of the garbage and not consumed, they would not unleash bad weather.

When we got them it was supposed to be burned as well... But I kept my last pack from Afghanistan.

We would sometimes be jerks and would mess with new privates and tell them to eat the charms, to just eat them like skittles, just open them up and chew them up. It was really cool the first time we did it to one too, he ate them just like we told him to and our PSG saw it and yelled at him that if it rained it would be his fault and he would smoke him until it stopped raining because it was the only way to get it to stop... It did rain, and hard for about two hours, and he smoked him in the rain the whole time. Needles to say he barfed those charms back up and was made to bury them.

We did similar things at Drum, but FNG's would end up getting smoked until it stopped snowing.  If you have never been to Drum during a snowstorm, we had almost 4 1/2 feet fall in my company area in 24 hours in the winter of 2006-2007.  We didn't have to do much more than hand the FNG a shovel and tell him to go to work >:D

I think we've hijacked this thread long enough.

I claim bragging rights for two of my cadets.  This weekend the DEWG had a SAREVAL which was rated as "SUCCESFUL".  Two of my cadets were working as MSA's in the Planning Section.  The section received an "EXCELLENT".  During the debriefing, my two cadets were singled-out by the CAP-USAF Detachment CC as "OUTSTANDING" and received challange coins.  Way to go Jake and Andrea!!

Thanks.

And while a good and noble idea, it kinda cracks me up that it's like "CAP Cares...now send more money to us!"

We have a member who went from 101 card to GTL in under 1.5 months. GTM3 locally and then off to NESA.

GML?
Trying deductive reasoning on the typo, but .. ;-) I'm suspecting GTL, but that M is a long way from the T.
