Platinum. Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Mmm nice. Private Plat has quite the ring to it, it sounds like the guy in a film that starts off as the worst in the platoon with low self esteem, but eventually proves to be courageous and loyal when push comes to shove. Are you a military man like Bartles too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin2006rhs Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Yeah...I joined and somewhat convinced him to join. I went into the army, finished training, got blown up, and came home. Here be me: I make a better Army Soldier than Bart does an Airman... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy. Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I'm sorry if you've written this up before, but you got blown up? That sounds intense. What happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartleby Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I make a better Army Soldier than Bart does an Airman... If you'd be willing to put that to the test, I'd pit the AC-130 against your Abrams tank any day of the week. On a similar note, thought of the day: Best thing ever, Chuck Norris in an F-22. With an Abrams tank duct taped to the top, somehow. Someone bust out Photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin2006rhs Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Lets test it this way: I can and have driven, fired, dis-assembled, and fixed a tank. Have you flown or fired the planes you worked on? Jimmy - After getting out of AIT(job training) i was put on light duty because of a some f*cked up veins in my leg. I got to go out and help train soldiers, American and non, work on tanks and learn some of our tactile maneuvers. One day, we were taking some troops out on a 25k march and along the way of that march, we would have stopped at a few training courses (Grenade, MK. 19, M16, and .50cal ranges.) So we packed the guys up wiht full battle rattle and ammo. One of the guys decided he wanted to act like rambo and hang the spoons of the grenades on his chest through the nylon straps of his vest but failed to realize the problems in doing so, mainly that the pin is exposed and can easily be caught and pulled letting the grenade fall and leaving the spoon on his chest. Well, when he reached up to grab his med pack on his shoulder, he caught the pin wiht his watchband, thereby freeing the grenade. I ran up, kicked the grenade away, it exploded taking out part of a barracks wall, and the wall fell on us. Thats how my leg got f*cked up. I didn't get exploded, i just got injured by the damage caused by the explosion. But "I got blown up" has a better ring that "I got crushed by a wall that fell because of the explosion of a grenade I kicked" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartleby Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Lets test it this way: I can and have driven, fired, dis-assembled, and fixed a tank. Have you flown or fired the planes you worked on? Not a valid way to measure quality, as I lack a college degree necessary to fly/fire said plane. It doesn't make me worse if I decide to not steal government property and blow up a house or two. Awesome story, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin2006rhs Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 So its not valid because it means I would win the battle. /win Besides, if you wanted to level the playing field, we could fill your plane up with trained crew members and leave the plane on the ground. I would be out of rotation range of your gun shooting an explosive round into your plane. But then you would be all "but wait, thats not fair, we didn't even take off yet!!!"

jimmy. Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 (edited) "Blown up" or not, that still is an incredibly bad ass story. Anything that involves kicking a live grenade away in the nick of time and working on tanks gets my respect. What became of Gomer Pyle? I would hope he got discharged.

Bartleby Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 If I did some of the things you do on what I work on, I'd probably be raped. In the face. With a sledgehammer. On a similar note, I think the reason the American public's opinion of the military is dwindling is because of members of different branches arguing over the internet. This is probably true.

And besides, whats not to like about a guy bragging that he can drie a tank 70mph because he takes the turret off...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin2006rhs Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 (edited) If we had a military story thread it would die in about a day. There are only so many military guys here and I only have so many stories to keep it alive. BTW...Bart, I was looking at the map and I saw something that made me laugh my ass off. Fort Noobspotter. It sounds like where the GTAIV Mods hangout while they are not walking around with their ban sticks and locking topics. BTWx2: Bart, get me a temp member pass in to the connection's private forum. I need someplace to invade and converse. Edited February 10, 2008 by kevin2006rhs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
