Major Lord

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

Thanks....now I gotta clean the puke off of my keyboard >:(
If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.
To err is human, to blame someone else shows good management skills.

Did ORM require the "dress" made with reflective belts?

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."

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

Major Carrales

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".
