Today's smokes......

[Artyman1200]

Think before you leap soldier. You have to be in the Army to be a Ranger or Delta - the ACTUAL greatest fighting force in the world. Normandy and D-Day, 101st Airborne in France, General Patton in Italy, Air Cav in Vietnam, the special forces in Serbia (The special forces in Somalia an Iraq for the matter.) What do all these have in common? Well none are Marines but that's not the point. The sea-men claim to always be the first in. These are all examples of Army soldiers being the first into a conflict.

Don't believe all the Marine "we're so great" stuff. I've heard some stories about all those Navy guys on a ship for months at a time.

But this is obviously not a competition between military branches. Right now I'm enjoying a Partagas Naturales whiles enjoying the "Battle of the Beltways" on a calm warm spring evening.

Yeah, don't believe all that "Marines being great stuff" You obviously don't know Marine Corps history. You're either a little army boy that resents the Marines, or you've heard "stories" from "sailors" that "prove" you know what you're talking about. Either way, why don't you just stick to telling us what you've smoked today. That is the purpose of this particular forum.

I am certainly open to that, ya see (ok, kind of a segway/story thing here), my grandpa always wanted to keep the line of generations in the military going - his grandpa was, his dad was, him and a couple of his brothers were, one of his sons was and as of yet (and I'm looking like the last one that'll probably go) none of his grandsons have enlisted. I've always thought about enlisting, just never really, really thought it through until now that he's passed away and I feel this is the best way to honor him, as he was the greatest man I've ever met. Also it's likely they'll put his house up for sale, and I just won't let that house leave the family - and I won't be able to put myself through college and buy a house at the same time. So I figured I'd enlist, serve my country, serve my family, buy that house and put myself through college all in one full swoop. And I'd like to think I'd be a good soldier.

MTM, You mean "segue". "Segway" is the brand name of the personal transport device used in malls and some LE. That's why the spell check function underlined "segway" and indicated it as a misspelled word.

Also, the term in the second highlight is "one fell swoop". Look it up; it's interesting and deserves a more thorough explanation than I'm willing to write.

Good for you for wanting to do right by your family and your country. It would be cool if you keep future comments regarding your decision on which branch of the military to join confined to another thread, or better, given the feathers already ruffled, confined to PMs.

Thanks and best of luck.

Artyman, I'm only using your post as an example - not picking on anybody in particular. It would be very cool if you military guys (and ex-military) would knock off the dick measuring contest. Especially since, as Artyman came close to stating in his post (bullshit editorializing notwithstanding), this is a thread about what we've smoked today.

jeez what a bunch of fucking knuckleheads.

Thanks everybody.
