New Hire

1. Welcome to the TAH Tavern, David!

2. And the cool part is that the pay is commensurate with my talents. As I told Ed, I’m a little worried about TAH that they would have me…in the Danger Zone (heh, heh, heh).

   1. — GROAN —

      Oh well; welcome aboard anyway.

   2. You made a Top Gun joke and he still made you a contributor? I can only imagine the ‘vetting process’ involved you buying him many beers, then.

      Welcome aboard, David!

   3. First day. Really? Did I mention the Probationary Period?

      1. Might want to consider putting David on the TAH Mail Buoy midwatch tonight.

         1. The Sea Bat is in the box on the Quarter Deck for viewing after his watch.

            1. “The Sea Bat”..

               😂🤣😅😂🤣😅

               A USS Blue Ridge Sailor on one of those Pacific Exercises/Deployments told some of us Army Ground Pounders about those durn Sea Bats.

               The things one learns on those Joint Exercises.

               The other was an Army, having the honors of being selected to have access to an Air Force Doofer Book…and given a Handle..

               😉😎

         2. While he’s at it he may as well bring back 100 yards of flight line, 20 gallons of prop wash, and a bosun’s punch.

            1. I was already sent to get the 1 Dee Ten Tee

            2. Add to that list one a bubble for the spirit level.

            3. How about a can of relative bearing grease, key to the main engine, a bucket of steam, a spool of pipe thread, a left handed monkey wrench, 20 feet of chow line, and a fresh air chit.

      2. He gets to fix the next buffer issues, right?

   4. David is gonna do well with KoB, the ninja family and others…😆😅🤣😂😆😅🤣😂

      BRAVO. BRILLANT…👏👏👏👏

      Poor Mick. Poor AW1Ed…

      NOT!!!

      1. I donno, ninja. Since editors and admin are exempt from competing for FIRST (ht 2 R-D) on the Vaunted TAH EARNED NEVER AWARDED FIRST, Friday Weekend Open Thread, he may be exempt from being listed on the DA Form 6 as having the duty to be “That Guy”. David may have already arranged for one of his fellow Texians to take over those duties for him. Or he may want to keep those comments (gabn) on ice, man, so his goose doesn’t get cooked and our Beloved AW1Ed loses that lovin’ feelin’ for him.

         Welcome Home, David. Just as your prior Army Service was, this job will reqire long hours, little respect or spoken appreciation, and comes with a corresponding cut in pay. We look forward to abusing you.

   5. Howdy, pardner!

3. Welcome to TAH, where we put the “fun” in “dysfunctional”. One small question… were you a cunning linguist?

   1. Even married a linguist…met in school and over 40 years later, I’m almost off probation.

      1. Don’t you mean Double Secret Probation?

      2. What language was your specialty in the linguist world?

         1. Czech.

            1. Roger that.

               I therefore recommend that David’s TAH Squadron callsign be either ‘Festrunk’ or ‘Yortuk’.

               (For the younger hands here on Team TAH who don’t “get” those references, please see Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd as the “wild and crazy” Festrunk brothers from Czechoslovakia on SNL in the late ’70s.)

               As in a fleet squadron, I will defer to your command decision as to which it should be: ‘Yortuk’ or ‘Festrunk’.

               I personally favor ‘Yortuk’.

               Please advise.

               1. I was leaning towards Snoop Doggie, but since he’s nautically challenged I don’t think we can “Award” him his callsign and make it stick. Sad.

4. Welcome aboard, David! As suggested in another post, you may need a nickname like a fighter pilot to distinguish from Dave. One can be ‘Rooster’ and the other can be ‘Cogburn.’

5. Welcome, the spice must flow.

   1. We can call him Beast Rabban

6. Welcome aboard David.
   ‘Preciate you joining the team riding herd on we miscreantes and deplorables.

   1. Don’t forget us dickweeds!

      1. and weedettes

7. There is no cake. The cake is a lie.

8. Welcome Aboard, David!!!

   So, please tell us…

   Which Dude are YOU in that Black and White Photo that AW1Ed shared with us from one of his Photo Albulms?

   😉😎

9. Welcome David. Look forward to your work here.

10. “Cold War Army linguist”
    Excellent. Now we have someone to translate Bidens remarks.

    1. I don’t know about that. It seems to me that GIGO applies to translation as well as to computer programs.

       (GIGO = garbage in, garbage out)

    2. Or Kamala’s Word Salad..

       😉😎

       1. with cream of sum yung guy dressing

11. Welcome David, to this merry band of dickweeds and weedettes.

13. Found the REAL picture of the TAH/VG Editorial Staff.

    You Be The Judge On Who Is Who…😉😎

    Welcome Dave!

15. Anyone recall that one guy in the Platoon, that never seemed to have a broom, shovel, or never ran the buffer during various barracks parties?

    Well, welcome Dave!  :wpds_lol: 

16. Nice to have another “immigrant” on the blog. I was at DLI the first time from Nov 80 to Nov 81. Ruling.

    Welcome.

    1. DLI was good duty.

    2. We were there semi-concurrently, my second time there was April 81-Feb ’82.
       Re TXNorsky- nope, spent my time mostly west of Munchen. Lots of married lingie couples.

17. Welcome to the Funny Farm!

18. Congratulations on the upgrade David.

19. Welcome to TAH David!

    I served with a soldier in Garlstadt Germany who was a linguist and married to a linguist. You aren’t by chance him are you?

20. Welcome Dave!

21. Welcome aboard Dave and will have 6 side boys pipe you aboard.

22. Congrats, David… and don’t let them stiff you about the keys to the executive washroom at TAH World-wide HQ!

23. Signing bonus?

24. Welcome, David.

25. Welcome aboard!

26. David, David, David….
    I generally don’t point out individuals proclivities and I don’t generally kink shame but it’s obvious you’re into self abuse.
    I wish you nothing but the best and a hearty “Hi Ho!” and Congratulations on your new position. I certainly hope somewhere, somebody will gift you a brand-new, clean, free, in the sleeve, fan belt to bite on for you, going forward.
    And with that I just leave you this with all the love that it is intended because nobody else here will do it… smoochy smooch smooch 😘
    TOODLES!! 🖕❤️🍪
