Thanks....now I gotta clean the puke off of my keyboard >:(
Did ORM require the "dress" made with reflective belts?
Don't ask... don't tell!
Oh how I wish they didn't tell!!!!
Awwwww, c'mon, the Boys got moves..
The Navy and Air Force do a much better job at lipdub videos:

Hmmmm.....war is hel....hmmmm......what CAN you say?
I think that unit wins the "Too Much Free Time" award. If they are actually in A'stan, you can't even blame it on liquor!

Guys in my company made one just as twisted. No, I'm not in it.
We were doing stuff, albeit without this level of technical sophistication, back in the 1980s...
Besides, I really liked "Lazy Ramadi."
Wow... Was war das?

Ironically, some of the troops that engage and kill the enemy are often the ones who have a decent amount of free time. Most of the support people have "schedules", just like back at their home station. But when you're a grunt running missions, if you're not preparing for missions; on missions or refitting from a mission, you may have a good amount of down time.
When I was Infantry, we'd go on patrols outside the wire, come back and hit the gym, stuff our faces, play video games, sleep or read a book.
Meanhwile, the guys in the TOC worked 12 hour shifts with few days off.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, what is wrong with the Army??
Ahhhhhh nothing.......Being retired and whatnot...
What and how is CAP evaluating the troops time off?
At least they are "doing something" or got back from "doing something"
Say we got any good and useful You Tube shenanigans for the 2010 NB NEC Board meeting this weekend?
Oh wait....those folks are tooooooo stiff upper lipped and tooooooo proper to be "doing something" like my comrades blowing off steam
Any of those CAPers at the NB having fun at the hotels with real hot and cold running water and more liquor than the two beer a night minimum?
Oh wait another minute...the boys in theatre....they probably can not drink unless OK'd after "doing something."
Those at NB 2010...lucky you.... luxurious rooms and and not some GI quarters these young folks are used to in the 'Stan
If they are on their off hours and making the most of it...let them.
But, be advised, people on CAPTALK and CADETSTUFF have made more than a little noise about youtube videos and jpegs of CAP officers and cadets at and after CAP activities. I recall one where a CAP 2nd Lt was photographed at a HOOTERS (its just a restaurant, after all) and people were calling for action.
I also remember all the incredulous CAPTALKERs making a big deal about people stopping at gas stations on their way home as somehow "against the regs and standards."
We are an incredulous lot here.
Hooters? LOL.
Just what do you think is going on in there? ;-)
Thats just too funny, some people have too much time on their hands.
... could have been at an airport, boarding Hooters Air .. and they do encourage to fly in uniform. Gee.. I bet they didn't have these boutique airlines back when they wrote that. ;-)
(and yes, I know that Hooters Air isn't flying anymore)
Dude, they had Braniff Air with beautiful young girls with really, really short uniforms and smiles a mile wide and basically all of the little bottles of booze you could drink. Wow, I miss flying standby back in the days..

Dude, it's your fellow military retirees here on CAPTalk who are making most of the comments.
I think they've earned the "right".
Real soldiers blowing off steam. ;)( M-16 type rifle in the background)
I would have stopped at the mirror image dance. The costumes ??? :o :-\ (Don't ask Don't tell :-X)
All I can say is I am glad Youtube wasnt around to video some of the things I did over my 8 yrs in infantry!!! Im keeping my mouth :-X
Or cell phone cameras, pocket recorders, etc.
Polaroid .. ;-) Take pictures. Fast.
We rode the floor buffers around and around like a rodeo in the barracks. We chased armadillos at Fort Sill in the field. It is crazy what bored GI's will do. We about gave a guy on guard duty a heart attack when we appreared out of nowhere with chemlight liquid on our t-shirts and faces in the pitch black night. All good times ;D :D ;)
High speed "pursuits" all over post a 0300 chasing imaginary cars. Hell if we had to be awake why not the whole post??????
If even a third of the things my buddies and i did made it to youtube.... well I'm pretty sure i would be seeing the base commander pretty quick >:D
Speaking of high speed "pursuits" at 0300, ever try light bar tag? or cruiser hide and seek? ;D
Soldiers, sailors airmen and Marines...when the time allows will find the best BEST ways to blow off steam!!
I dont know about Airmen. I think they attend group study sessions on their MOS skills and drink Sprite when they get bored.
you mean AFSC's skills right? ;)
no they spend time on their UNIFORMS!
Even better than riding buffers is riding a GTC-85 starter pod.
It's the red and yellow thing at the bottom of the picture.

Why you don't ride a Huffer (http://rayplumlee.com/ships/view_story.php?artnr=90)
Let's not forget the nightshift buddha (TA-18) and NC-8 races on the taxiways. Another favorite was jacking up the CDO duty vehicle's back wheels and putting it on blocks just high enough to keep the wheels clear of the ground, but not high enough to be real evident; then page him to Base Ops for a VIP inbound...
This has something to do with CAP???? >:D

I may have to try that on my next deployment.
Just had to share this...

Army Blesses A War-Zone Lip-Synch
By Jay Price, Staff Writer
Fort Bragg soldiers whose goofy war-zone remake of a Lady Gaga video went viral over the weekend and soared to more than 3 million hits on YouTube have won a thumbs up from the brass.
"The brigade command team is happy to see that they also still have a good sense of humor and that morale is high," said Maj. Michelle Baldanza, a spokeswoman in Afghanistan for the division's 4th Brigade Combat Team via e-mail from Kandahar Air Field.
The soldiers have a challenging mission there, and they were just having a good time and "blowing off some steam in their downtime," Baldanza said.
They did that by cavorting - sometimes in makeshift costumes - to Lady Gaga's hit song "Telephone" inside what appears to be a garage at their southwestern Afghanistan base, livened up with little more than a couple of giant cardboard cutouts of telephones.
The ringleader was apparently Sgt. Aaron Melcher, who graduated from Gramercy Christian School in Newport in 2004, according to his Facebook page, and whose mother works for Duke University.
"Prepare yourself for a fantastical journey," Melcher wrote in an introduction to the video for YouTube. "Right now this is the temporary version, we have more scenes to cut, and edit, however with guys always on mission it is harder to film than you think."
On his Facebook page last week Melcher tracked the number of views the video was getting. Last Thursday, just after midnight, he wrote that the views had topped 8,000. Less than 10 hours later he checked in again: "Ok everybody ... this can be labeled INSANE now ... over 35000 hits ... and multiple news stations have the video."
Lady Gaga's version of the video features scenes in a women's prison and behavior that would clearly violate the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. The biggest offense in the tamer paratrooper remake, though, is a skimpy, vaguely bikini-like outfit crafted of straps that Melcher flaunts while imitating a Lady Gaga outfit made of nothing but crime-scene tape.
Gaga is slender. Sgt. Melcher is many things, including enthusiastic and energetic. He is not, however, slender.
