      2. Naaww -Dog…maybe by the 10 count I give before I hit the postie thingie. Guess I gotta quit doing that. Where is everybody? Of late we have been having a 6 maybe 9 way tie. I like it! I guess all the wimmins is a’still a’pine in’ away over that Sam Elliott Dude and takin’ cold showers. Hatchet mad ’cause he can’t have Dana, and SFC D stayin’ after school with Sarah P. Jeff takin’ a nap and dodgin’ ninja, CW tryin’ to put the paper to bed ‘afore the deadline, and NDHoosier forgot it was Friday.

        May the Rats come with Kong for you.

    2. Congrats to the Queen of Battle!!!

      Just remember, the King of Battle, the Cable Dogs, the Tankers, the Engineers and our own CW and Chipster are right behind you in competition.

      One of these, I hope the BEST Supply Daddy in the US Army, our Claw, take First Place for the US Army QMC.

      Scooby would be proud.

      Congrats again, Roh-Dog!

      2. Ninja, just for the record, from way back when on 02 Jan 2015 when API®™ logged in, and then on 24 Apr 2015 when AW1Ed logged in and from then on attempts to log a “First” on the WOT really became a cut-throat competition, I scored a First on 08 May 2015, then til 09 Dec 2016 when I kinda gave up on being a competitor and strictly started doing log-ins of Firsts into the Coveted Book, I scored a total of 21 Firsts.

        So, Yeah, in times of old, I took pride in being First for the Quartermaster Corps./smile

        1. Thank You for sharing this Claw…

          I still can’t get over the snow you got…in October…Poor Scooby!

          All of us in the Army know the Power of being the Supply Daddy…and the hard work involved.

          I can now admit that as a G4, I had to “turn away” and not ask questions from my Warrants and NCOs when our unit needed items (especially Class IX).

          Thank Goodness for my Senior NCOs who “trained” me to not ask questions. Now that I think about it, we ALWAYS had Coffee on hand…perhaps an exchange with our Messhall Daddies?

          Lessons for 2LTs/Platoon Leaders who never were Prior Service: Always Listen To Your NCOs. ALWAYS…That is, if you want to succeed and survive on the Battlefield.

          😎😉

          1. Hey Now, Class IX (Repair Parts) was my bread & butter for 10 years, (72-82) then when I got my first S-4 NCO slot in Germany with the Audie Murphy Battalion it was Beans, Bullets, Buffers and Bed Linen until I retired at the end of 91.

            Geez, has it been almost 30 years since I last wore the uniform?

            Guess So./s

      1. Yeah, that was totally not an ATF sting.

        Most of the Glock switches really were sold as Air Soft gun parts about ten years ago. There are thousands of them out there.

    2. Don’t read these either. Might taint your views.

      The reason the jail can’t produce any medical records about Worrell’s Cancer treatment is because there aren’t any.

      https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/national/capitol-riots/threats-against-witnesses-keep-proud-boy-christopher-worrell-in-jail-on-capitol-riot-charges/65-8dc7fd58-460c-4c9d-9a69-3407df836299

      Lamberth, however, spent extended space in his opinion saying whatever medical deficiencies Worrell was experiencing in jail were his own fault. According to Lamberth, Worrell rejected offers by jail staff to have his girlfriend bring remaining medication to the jail. Lamberth also said Worrell’s doctor – a urologist who practices alternative medicine for cancer patients – could not provide medical records or dosage information for the medicated cream Worrell said he needed.

      According to Lamberth’s opinion, the doctor said he was unable to do so because he “has no medical staff, keeps no medical records, and that he provides a ‘concierge’ holistic or nontraditional medical service.”

      My bullshit meter is getting a steady beeping.

      1. Doesn’t taint my view at all. I’m not defending the actions of anybody that was involved in the 06 JAN dumbassery. Everyone involved and incarcerated should be treated equally under the law. Even Worrell. Phonies have civil rights too.

  10. One last time…I am NOT going to let this go.

    Jeff, our Navy Punster…Why is it you still have not provided your source of information about your derogatory comment about Bob Hope and the USO during WWII?

    Again, we like you. We enjoy your stories. Your puns.

    We hope you recover well from your surgery.

    Yet, you seem to avoid my question (another asked you the same).

    Why, Jeff?

    Did you make a mistake?

    We don’t understand.

    1. This is what you wrote Jeff:

      “Denzel a better choice than making that A-hole bob hope an honorary US Mil Vet. Reason is that on a USO tour in the South Pacific during WW2, he was asked to do a show onboard an anchored out hospital ship and the dirt bag says that it wasn’t in his contract so he wasn’t going to do the show, but the rest of the USO tour showed up and did the show for nothing.”

  11. The old Commish is a little late to the party this week … work, don’tcha know.

    Congrats to Roh-Dog! Enjoy another week of FIRSTness!

    In the meantime, enjoy some trivia, too …

    DID YOU KNOW…?
    Was an astronaut reprimanded due to food taken on a space mission?
    By Commissioner Wretched
    didyouknowcolumn@gmail.com

    In the weeks building up to Halloween, I wanted to see what kind of costumes were available for a person of my mind set to wear to any parties to which I may be invited. (I’m dropping a hint here, ever so subtly.)

    Let’s see … taking a look at some of the “ready-made” costumes one can find on line, I discovered a Cap’n Crunch outfit. Like the cereal box, it is not accurate – the costume has only three stripes on the sleeve. That’s a commander, not a captain. Yes, it matters.

    I could get a crash test dummy costume, but the drive to the party might be a little awkward, don’t you think? Especially if I’m in an accident.

    Or I could just get a pickle costume. But that would really put me in a pickle.

    Maybe next week will turn up more choices … in the meantime, here’s the trivia!

    Did you know …

    … giant pandas have a very good sense of smell? Even at night, pandas can find the best stalks of bamboo simply by scent. (You learn something new every day. I had no idea bamboo had a scent.)

    … a popular condiment is made from fish? Worcestershire sauce is made from anchovies, and the tiny fish are soaked in vinegar until they completely dissolve. (I always thought there was something fishy about a sauce no one can pronounce.)

    … the town of Blue Earth, Minnesota, has a very strange law about telephones? In that little town, which is home to a “life-sized” statue of the Jolly Green Giant™, children under the age of twelve may not talk on the telephone unless they are monitored by a parent. (I can’t get past the Jolly Green Giant statue, myself.)

    … Popeye the Sailor has four nephews? The spinach-gulping mariner, created in 1929 by cartoonist E.C. Segar (1894-1938), has nephews named Pipeye, Peepeye, Pupeye, and Poopeye. Nowhere, however, is it mentioned that Popeye has a twin – which, since the nephews are basically child versions of Popeye, would be the only way he could have them. (Of course not. Who wants to admit being related to Popeye?)

    … an early space mission almost caused an astronaut some real trouble? During the flight of Gemini 3 on March 23, 1965, the first American two-man space mission, rookie astronaut John Young (1930-2018) caused a problem when he offered his co-pilot, Virgil “Gus” Grissom (1926-1967), a snack during the flight. Mission planners had sent up specially prepared “space meals” to be eaten during the three-orbit flight, but Young pulled out a corned beef sandwich he’d gotten from a delicatessen and offered Grissom a bite. In addition to being unauthorized, the floating crumbs from the sandwich posed a danger and could have fouled up the instruments in the spacecraft. Young was rebuked by his bosses after the mission, but no harm came to his career – he would be the first American to fly in space six times (two Gemini missions, two Apollo, and two Space Shuttle missions). (That sandwich certainly had The Right Stuff!)

    … you cannot travel to the Statue of Liberty without leaving the state of New York? Liberty Island, on which the statue sits, is in New York Harbor on land belonging to New York, but the surrounding waters (and airspace) belong to New Jersey.

    … the common housefly is seldom found in Alaska? The climate is too cold, and the housefly can’t survive. Those that do show up are brought in by boat or airplane, and don’t live long enough to reproduce. (That’s the buzz, anyway.)

    … the highest denomination bank note ever printed was made in Hungary? In 1946, as hyper-inflation all but destroyed the Hungarian economy, the government printed a bank note for 100 quintillion pengös. To give you an idea of how big a number that is, this is it: 100,000,000,000,000,000,000. The exchange value of the note was twenty U.S. cents.

    … it is important for men in Fiji to get married? Fijians believe that one of their gods, Nangganangga, will watch over married couples and will not allow a bachelor to enter their paradise. The god will turn the person to ash if he dies before getting married. (Never mind that, how in the world do you pronounce that name???)

    … the average American coffee-drinking adult consumes about 26.7 gallons of the brew each year? (By this measure, I am definitely above average.)

    … it is theoretically possible to win a Powerball™ lottery each week? You would have to buy about $350 million worth of tickets (at $2 per ticket) to generate the 175 million possible number combinations, one of which would be a winner. (With my luck, the prize that week would be $5 million.)

    … the shortest scholarly paper consists of exactly one sentence? Published in 2003 in “The Annals of Improbable Research” and co-authored by hundreds of “scientists,” the tongue-in-cheek study “The Effects of Peanut Butter on the Rotation of the Earth” says simply, “So far as we can determine, peanut butter has no effect on the rotation of the Earth.” (That’s all they wrote.)

    … Buffalo wings are not named after buffaloes? The delicacies were created in the city of Buffalo, New York, in 1964. (Besides, buffaloes don’t have wings. They don’t, do they? Hello? Is this thing on?)

    … the “polar bear capital of the world” is a Canadian seaport? The city of Churchill, on Hudson Bay in Manitoba, is considered one of the world’s best places to view polar bears. Curious tourists come to the city annually to see the ursine animals. (The bears call the port of Churchill the “buffet.”)

    Now … you know!

      1. Ed…

        Am SO GLAD you posted that picture.

        I got into a HUGE Arguement with my Father In Law (85 years old) when he cut down all of our ADULT children to their faces for having Tatoos.

        I asked him: “And what does Popeye have on his arms? How about the Egyptians? Or Sailors during WWII? Or your Wife, my Mother In Law, who has been wearing makeup everyday for 70 years? WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? HOW DARE YOU TALK TO OUR GROWN CHILDREN THAT WAY!!!”

        (Yes, I was TICKED OFF
        ).

        He shut up FAST. Never heard a about it again.

        NEVER mess with an Infantry School OCS Graduate…I learned alot from that course.

        The ninja family was tempted to get tatoos on our arms to proove a point, but realize that was immaturity on our part.

        Our children are ADULTS. If they want to tatoo their entire bodies, then that is THEIR decision, not ours.

        Never Tick Off A ninja. Ask Slow Joe. 😎😉

        1. Good response, ninja.

          Learned from Favorite First D-i-L yesterday that during their first year of marriage, when they both staffed at a Boy Scout camp, Eldest Son had to give an older fellow the cold stare and quietly say “Apologize to my wife.”

          The guy was smart enough to apologize, and never say something stupid in her presence ever again.

    2. Thank You, CW!

      BTW, on what you wrote:

      “the common housefly is seldom found in Alaska? The climate is too cold, and the housefly can’t survive. Those that do show up are brought in by boat or airplane, and don’t live long enough to reproduce. (That’s the buzz, anyway.)”

      As an Army Brat, I lived at Fort Wainwright. As an Army Soldier, I made numerous TDY trips to Wainwright working with the 6th ID as well as Fort Greely and Richardson.

      Anyone who has ever done a tour in Alaska knows the “State Bird” of Alaska.

      I swear those mosquitoes were drilling for blood on our heads, arms and legs when we did our PT runs.

      They were BRUTAL.

      1. I didn’t think the mosquitoes in AK were anything compared to the ones growing up in MN. I’d heard all the horror stories. When we got up there (at least out into the backcountry), the mosquitoes were slow and easy pickings.

        1. Mason..

          Now I know something new.

          Had an Aunt/Uncle and two Cousins that moved to MN (St Paul) and they never said anything about mosquitoes.

          I HATE mosquitoes, especially that buzzing sound…I always dreaded going to the Field for FTXs…alot of some who did not smoke DID smoke to drive the mosquitoes away…the DEET or whatever the Army gave us did not work, which made me wonder why we were constantly “fed” Malaria pills.

          I definitely remember those mosquitoes in Alaska…😎😉

          Thank You for sharing!

          1. If interested, I have all the NSNs for Insect Repellents, stick, spray and lotion, including the all new (since 2002) camouflage face paints (that come in a mirrored compact) that contain 30% DEET.

        2. I’ve canoed the Boundary Waters and Quetico Provincial Park, and we learned quickly to be done with KP and in the tents by twilight.

          Not enough DEET in the world…

          1. I suppose skeeters are to be expected when it’s the “Land of 10,000 Lakes”. Which I once read the state actually has more than 100,000 bodies of water. It’s funny when the state has a “drought” that’s still wetter than your typical wet season out west.

    3. If someone’s dumb/brave enough to strap themselves to a giant bomb for a 3-day tour of the heavens, a corned beef should be permitted.
      Thanks for the trivias!

    4. Well, with Cap’n Crunch, he’s only captaining a light cruiser so he can be a CMDR. He’ll make CAPT when he gets a full CG cruiser.

      1. I know, I don’t shoot but 100 rounds or 200 of mixed 5.56 & .223 from the Bren 2 or AR at a visit then I usually switch to a different firearm, the prices are at least down to 50 cents than $1 some time ago.
        So there’s that. But yeah, I’ll have to see how it goes. At least I’m not shooting drums. 😜
        I’m blaming my new found weapons fascination on Joe Biden for creating a hostile National Security environment. 😉

        1. Keep getting all spendy with your disposable income there Chippy. While I’m wining and dining the Adorable Deplorable at 5 Star Dining Facilities, Courting, Wooing, and Charming with my ways, you’ll be scratching around for a BOGO Coupon from Dairy Queen. Better try to save at least enough for an All Star Plate at The Waffle House.

          1. Damn, that’s low. I mean, just wait until next year when my 59 and 1/2 paperwork goes in.
            You guys will be paying for my steal and lobster I *USED* to get for free at the chow hall once a year.
            I mean, at least *I’m* not wasting a bunch of $$$ on Sildenafil Citrate like you *mature* guys and shit.
            All nose-up-in-the-air like the best/ Star-Bellied-Sneetches on the Beaches.
            Fuckheads.
            I’ll just be the guy running the On/Off Star machines.
            What do you think I am? Psul? I can afford a mailbox door, and I won’t have to take a part time job at the Pilot Flying J behind the wino restaurant grease trap dumpster like Phildo and his All Points Logistics Team.
            As far as you and your potty mouth…Ugh…

    2. President Elect Toxic Deplorable Racist SAH Neanderthal B Woodman Domestic Violent Extremist SuperStraight says:

      I’d like to see a 30 round double stack magazine at the same length as the standard 20 round magazine. I always had trouble in the prone position with the 30 round magazine, the rifle always rocked on the bottom of the magazine.

  13. If Hack Stone was in the Midwest, his time stamp would put him in the top twenty. Alas, it was not meant to be. Congratulations to all of you Adorable Deplorables whole were not tied up in Friday afternoon work obligations, but as Elaine Ricci would say, “That outdated and overpriced Red Hat Software ain’t gonna sell itself”.

    And a belated Happy Indigenous Peoples Day to Phil Monkress of All Points Logistics. Phil has no reservations about working the balls of Native Americans.

    1. OAM:

      We want to thank you again for your articles that AW1Ed shared with us…for your insight…your courage…for being an inspiration to others.

      For being YOU.

      We have always shared with others that losing a child is worse than losing parents or siblings. Your Son was a HERO. We know you are still very proud of him.

      We thank our Lord everyday that the ninja family are and still blessed with interacting with Gold Star Families. We have learned alot and have encouraged others to become familiar with Gold Star Families.

      Thank You So Much for enriching our lives by being a contibutor on TAH. YOU are indeed a Blessing to our family as well as others.

      1. HEY!!!
        In before KoB and STOP SUCKING UP TO OAM!!!
        Get in line. 😀
        Love you too OAM and you know I’d run around all wigglebutt if I were around you like an overexcited dachshund.
        Much love to you all, have a great weekend.

        1. Chip, you never fail to make me laugh. Thank you dear man.

          If you were a dachshund Id scratch behind your ears… as I watched me feet to keep them from being peed on.

          And before he shows up and accuses me of playing favorites, I’d watch me feet around KoB too.

          1. OAM, that Space Monkey..er..er..Jockey couldn’t even light the match to fire up the Torch that some of us tote for you…and those like you. And don’t worry about your feets, I gots that. I recall you saying something about “…lemon kissed sole…” I stay puckered up. 😉

      2. Ninja, my thanks to you and yours, your words mean more than you can know. Your remembrance and honor and support means everything, I’m sure, to all the Gold Star fortunate to know you
        Be well

      1. For some reason, I have the urge to read that as “SCROTUS” in my head, every time.
        😀 😀

  16. … it is theoretically possible to win a Powerball™ lottery each week? You would have to buy about $350 million worth of tickets (at $2 per ticket) to generate the 175 million possible number combinations, one of which would be a winner.

    It is theoretically possible, but the reality is:

    1- You have to buy each ticket one by one, by filling out the play slips. That would take an army of assistants to feverishly work 24/7 to get the slips filled out and filed on time for a drawing.
    You can’t just walk in with a really big check and declare you are buying “one of each possible combination.”

    2 – The winner doesn’t get a lump sum, the winner gets an annuity that will pay out the face amount over time. To cash in the winner for a lump sum, be prepared forfeit about 50% between the discount and immediately paying 37% federal income tax. To collect the full amount from Powerball, wait 30 years.

    3 – By the time you have paid hundreds of millions of dollars into the Powerball, a good chunk of your “winnings” are really just your own money coming back to you.

    4 – And finally, every big lottery splits the winnings among all with the winning number. You might end up with 1/3 of the pot if some lucky lady in Detroit played her grandson’s birthday, while a drunken GI at Fort Bragg played the tail number of his last jump aircraft, and both — playing one $2 bet each — also lucked into the winning combination.

    1. 45 ACP. Because sometimes, short fat and slow is exactly what you need. And shooting twice is wasteful.

      1. Sapper3307,
        Yep.
        It’s gettin’ ugly in Harrisburg.
        Some State Senators and Assemblymen,
        who have been using debunked numbers and conspiracy theories
        to push for state audits and recounts,
        have been stripped of their committee memberships,
        and some have now been locked out of committee and caucus meetings,
        their access key cards disabled.

        Note – Both the PA Assembly and Senate
        are controlled by the Republican majority.

        1. …. but deal with a hated Dem Governor
          and Attorney General (who just announced his candidacy for Governor).
          Ugh.

    2. “Republicans”

      They keep using that word, and I do not think it means what they think it means.

  19. Q for all you Delta Wiskeys and Wiskeyettes who will confess to being “a certain age”

    Do you, too, get positively flooded with propaganda from various sources begging and pleading with you to get Medicare coverage from their offices? Or is that just something concerning how my state does business?

    It must be quite financially lucrative to be a Medicare Provider, judging from the number of people jostling each other for our business.

    YMMV, but I smell something rotten in Denmark.

    1. Yes, I (We) do. All the time, both telephonically and by mail.

      Tis the open season right now for switching/signing on for Medicare coverages, with the start of the new Fiscal Year.

    2. Graybeard, I receive USPS Mail at 3 different addresses. I get at least 4 solicitations a week, in each mailbox, from different companies. I used to send them back in their prepaid envelope requesting to be removed from their mailing list. All that did was increase the number I got. Then I started shredding them and sending the shreds back in the envelope. That didn’t work either. Now I just shred them without opening them. IIRC, one of our more weedier deplorables made mention they attached the postage paid envelope to a brick and dropped it in the outbound mail once. heh heh

      1. Shredding it and mixing it with toilet paper and Elmer’s glue in the envelope, then letting it dry before mailing it, that or gluing the front of the postage Paid envelope to a scrap piece of wood and mailing it!

    3. It started before anyone in the household got old enough for Medicare and has not slowed down at all since. A serious waste.

    4. Yep. It’s been a year and a half since my mother died here on hospice and if anything, the pace has increased. Now with the sibling, I’m getting offers for three people. I literally sort mail over the shredder box…or the fire pit.

      As for it being lucrative for providers, that is also a yes for many reasons. It used to take much longer to get paid by the government than private insurance, but that has changed. Also, it used to be that with copays, you’d get some money from the patient, but the wait times on private insurance reimbursement make that less worth it.

      Seems the thinking is, if you have enough government reimbursement patients, it’s a more steady and reliable income stream, even if it is a little lower. Course, it also depends on the service/type of care provided.

      As GB said, YMMV, but that’s the view from where I sit.

      1. OAM,
        I think it took 3-4 years to finally quit getting regular mail for my father after he passed, yet 12 years later I would not be surprised to get something in the mail or by phone.

        When I moved all the mail from his address to mine, I somehow ended up with my brother’s and nephew’s mail for a long time. Last month I got another letter for my brother – from a Jehovah’s Witness!

    6. I am constantly being harrased to switch to a Medicare “advantage’ plan.
      No thank you. I have original Medicare with a plan F supplemental.
      They hate plan F and want to get everyone off it because it is not
      sustainable. All of Medicare is not sustainable but plan F is a real
      costly one for them and by law they cannot do away with it.
      Never give up your “original Medicare” for “Medicaid” either. Once you
      do you will not be able to switch back and if a family member helps you
      paying bills the Medicaid people will be in your underwear.
      For about $2500 a year (plan F) I get excellent health care and never
      see a bill, copay or any other expense.

      I also get enough junk mail from Martins Point to heat my house.
      Martins Point is the big military insurer around here. I think they
      also own a paper mill…..

      1. I remember an old episode of Ripley’s Believe it or Not that highlighted a guy who fully heated his house all year with junk mail. As I recall he had three PO boxes.

    8. Yes, the wife and I are averaging one flier, pamphlet or letter a day, begging us to just give XXX a call and we’ll get $148/month back from Social Security, and coverage for everything, if only we’ll just sign up for their coverage.

  20. Hey, anybody else notice we haven’t from The Other Whitey in a good while now? Might want to get Admin to do a welfare check on the Boy. I know he’s got the day job, young’uns to ride herd on, AND that hot trophy wife to keep him distracted but still…

    I needs to see the latest progress on his projects…’specially the one with the Nose Art.

    HELLO, TOW, COME IN! You by the 2 way? (((OVER)))

    1. Pretty sure he’s probably elbow deep in the wildfires they got going out that way. That’s usually why he drops in activity suddenly. I can send an Email to tell him you’re concerned. 🙂

      1. 10-4 on the elbow deep. I’ve been keeping an eye out on that situation while pillaging thru the news feeds. Last comment I remember from him was he was gonna be “in the rear with the gear” but that could have changed. If you don’t mind, send him a ping, let him know we thinking about him. Much respect for that Gentleman, have I. Thanks!

      2. Let him know KoB isn’t alone in his concern.

        Although we understand having to tend to important things first, and have all respect for that man.

    1. I saw this and I’m gonna throw the bullshit flag.
      Methinks somebody is looking for a payday.
      Apparently this happened at three, four, 5 o’clock in the morning.
      GTFOOH

      1. ChipNASA,
        Unless she got commissioned on 45 college credits,
        there’s not many who serve enlisted time and reach SSG E-6,
        while simultaneously attending college,
        and completing requirements to attend and graduate OCS,
        by age 23.

        Possible… but rare.
        Call up the FOIA on this one??

        1. E5 as cadet when signed paperwork, but took so long completing ROTC etc. she got promoted as a reservist before then.

      2. ChipNASA,
        I found the Book of the Fake on Deja VooDoo.
        Grad April ’21 from Grambling.
        NO evidence of active duty military service.

        But I found THIS.
        Current webpage — Cadet S5. 3 dots rank.
        Do cadets get ranked, paid, and ID’d as SSG E-6?
        https://www.gram.edu/military/cadets/

        1. Not back in my day. Think I was a reserve PFC until I was commissioned. And since I received an RA commission, I only had four days to get across the country to report in at Ft. Benning. But that was back in the olden days when no one would put up with horseshit like this from a butter bar, black or female.

    2. Hack Stone,
      2LT?
      Her MIL ID says E-6 SSG.
      At age 23.

      I’ll ask the obvious…
      IF she is now an O-1,
      why is she using invalid enlisted ID,
      and where is her O-1 2LT ID?

      This might be a caper for VG to solve.

      1. She is/was a college ROTC Cadet Captain, NOT active military, an S5, is a S5-Volunteer/Community Outreach position in the battalion.
        That’s the 3 dots.
        So take that for what it’s worth.
        After graduating, maybe she’s transitioning to her contractual assignment and obligation but if she graduated in June, I doubt she’s done shit yet.
        I’d even argue she’s not even completed any in processing with her new unit assignment yet,in 90 days, please bitch, your bus seat is barely cold yet.
        Again, GTFOOHWTS. Go ahead, prove me wrong and I admit it and own that shit. (My opinion)
        Fucking Twatt bag is acting like she singlehandedly sailed around Cape Horn solo.
        I’m calling tactical nuclear ☢️ bullshit 🤔🥱💩🖕

        1. ChipNASA,
          A little full of herself, right out of the gate.
          The more I dig, the more that E-6 SSG ID doesn’t add up.

          The internet never forgets this crap, especially a lawsuit.

          1. I’ve seen E6’s that young before although it is certainly unusual. However; not one that was in college for 4 of those years.

            Theoretically, if she joined at 17, went into an MOS that promoted quickly to NCO ranks, went Active Duty version of Green to Gold, caught a lucky break on SSG promotions it would be possible. It is quite a stretch and the stars would have to line up just right.

            However neither a SSG or a 2LT is “high ranking”. A 2LT is little more than a child and a lots of time in grade SSG at best might possibly be a platoon daddy.

    3. Since folk don’t serve or know anyone who does any more– they don’t know from nuttin’ now.

    4. OK, well, (not in her defense), I made E-5/PH2 in 3 years on my first enlistment, but I had to agree to extend my term to get my PH2 crow.

      I simply didn’t have enough time in rate as E-4/PH3, that’s all.

      Don’t know how the Army works it, but that’s what happened with me.

    1. I had a brilliant SPC get caught with a trunk load of weed in uniform. Got 7 years in Leavenworth.

      1. We had a couple of Rocket Surgeons in my las AD Unit that got caught doing a string of B&E’s on Pawn Shops downrange from Benning as well as stealing and selling Government Property. Thanks to my ETS at the time I never heard the end of it other than they were trying to decide if Uncle Sugar or the State of Georgia was going to get Primary Jurisdiction i.e. who was going to try, convict and jail first!

    1. Once you get on The Joe Biden Expressway, you have no idea where you’ve been, no idea where you are, and no idea where you’re going.

      1. Hack Stone,
        In the mid 90s, I made 2 trips to Camp Robinson,
        North Little Rock, Arkansas.
        My 2 long term memories of those trips,
        not Camp Robinson,
        but the large sign on the I-40 bridge over the Mississippi River
        [Welcome to Arkansas, Home State of President Bill Clinton]
        and then seeing the same bumper sticker around Little Rock
        over and over and over again
        [I DIDN’T VOTE FOR HIM].

        Scranton, PA is in for more of the same.

        Also in 2021, Lancaster (PA) School District
        just stripped the name of President Buchanan
        from James Buchanan Elementary School.

        1. During my many trips across !-30 as a Trucker I always passed the highway signs saying “Hope Arkansas, Birthplace of President Bill Clinton” and those were THE most vandalized signs I have ever seen, always plenty of dents from thrown empty longneck bottles as well as a few hits from what looked like 00 Buckshot!

    1. ChipNASA,
      Coincidence??
      Hillary Clinton in 2016.

      [Clinton, who was diagnosed with pneumonia,
      is on a 10 day supply of Levaquin.

      Levaquin is the brand name for levofloxacin,
      which is part of a class of drugs called fluoroquinolones,
      intended to treat major infections like pneumonia, anthrax exposure, plague and
      urinary tract infections.]

          1. One night while Hillary and Janet Reno were in bed together, Reno rolled over to Hillary and said Let me be frank with you..” to which Hillary snapped back and said “HELL NO, it’s MY turn to be Frank tonight!!!”

  25. I just did a scope switch on my AR-15. To zero, as usual, I went really close to the target “to see if I could put one on the board”. 20 or so yards away, I need to pull the barrel up 6 inches, and I have already brought the scope’s adjuster to its stop. I have loosened and re-tightened the mounts at the picatinny. and still just cannot bring the round to the bull.
    I would have liked to find the target with the scope adjuster at mid point in its travel.
    Any suggestions? (Photo at link)
