Hello, my name is ben, and I have a problem..........I'm a cook. (no, not for the army, I'm a linguist, silly........or a silly linguist.......) I got started eight years back, after my wife and I got hitched, and were slowly losing weight on a regular diet of mac and cheese, and the occasional burnt pork steaks. After a little while of this, my sister got me Cooking for Dummies as a gag. Muhahaha!!!! I shall take this seriously, thunk I, and the joke was on her! Eight years later, I'm p...

This is a post that many won't understand, it is different, but it is something near and dear to my heart. This is possibly one of the single most important parts of army life outside of pointing guns at people and that whole minor protecting the freedom of the nation thing. It's about my boots. Boots are contraversial in the army. Basic issue? Jump boots? Tanker boots? Corframs? Desert? Cold weather, intermediate cold weather? Deserts? Jungle boots? If jungle boots, green or black? I say ...

I've finally had enough. I'm breaking one of my cardinal rules for the army, and for the second time in over 5 years, I'm going to sick call tommorow. I toughed it out for 3 days now, but I'm thinking maybe plantar fascitis, maybe stress fracture. I'm thinking about fetching a hacksaw every time I wear my combat boots for more than a couple of hours. This unit is pretty good about getting sick or injured, so I don't have to face the usual stigma against getting sick in the army. Most place...

Here's one for all of you junkies, Who like old movies with big names and monkeys, Car chases and fights, And Dom Deloise in tights, Plus bimbos who're picked up as flunkies. Ole Clint did not fight in this flick, And Sally Fields did not play the chick, Farrah Fawcett was cool, Jamie Farr played the fool, And Roger Moore as always was slick. But I was most surprised by the man, A racer that came from "Japan", His car was well scorned, (Though he could watch porn) My God!!!...

Ah hah!!!! yes I have a minivan.....(hangs head in shame.) I bartered it for a beat up piano I had so I could have something to drive while I do the body work on my mustang. So it has 200,000 miles on it (the van, not the mustang), there's nothing functionally wrong with it except it eventually needs another engine (not as bad as it sounds, I can pick up something decent here at the junkyard for about $300.) Aesthetically speaking, it could use work.....like replacing the dinged up hood,...

Went to work and we all did PT, Did pushups til we all got nosebleeds, And the thing that will suck, (cause we're shit out of luck) is we'll soon have to get up at three. I know that I am just depressed, 'cause its six days to original ETS, and I love the stop loss, can't talk back to the boss, or I could find myself under arrest. (well pushups or an article 15 anyway) Yes, 15 more years and I could retire, Climb to E-8 or maybe even higher, I think I could be, a decent 2nd...
