A Just for fun post- After work today my roomate and I watched Office Space. While watching I realized that despite it being a civilian life portrayed in the film, what makes it most funny is that it is so comparable to daily life in the Army.
What other movies do you frequently make references and comparisons to in the military?

CPT (Join to see), it's too bad the "Carl" memes weren't a thing the last time I crossed the Date Line. I was walking around the ship saying to random people "Do you ever feel like you're reliving the same day, over and over again?" If "Carl" had been a thing I'm sure I would have gotten a few replies of "Shut the f**k up Carl..." as it was I did get a few "STFU IT1!"

Kind of a cross between "In The Army Now", "A Few Good Men", "Midnight Run" and "Office Space" there are elements of each that I can apply to various points in my less than stellarly illustrious, shenaniganical military career.

Heh; "In the Army Now" was filmed at my basic training battery in Ft. Sill, OK about a year before I got there - a couple of my DS's were in the background

Come on Dan, you haven't even been assigned to Joint Forces Headquarters yet. Way to early to feel that way.

No one movie encapsulates the entire experience. The first one that comes to mind is "Catch-22", with a little bit of "Sgt Bilko". Bits and pieces of "Full Metal Jacket", "An Officer and a Gentleman", "The Perfect Storm", and "The Guardian".
