Last deployment we had a CPT who had been pulled out of IRR (two weeks before he was supposed to start a new $$$$$$ job at the Pentagon) to be our S2. Needless to say he was not a happy camper the entire deployment. Shortly before we redeployed he set up a delayed delivery email to be sent to the personal email addresses of many of our Senior staff. The email was simply a video of Lily Allen's F*** You. The chorus of which is:<br /><br />F*** you<br /> F*** you very, very much<br /> Cause we hate what you do<br /> And we hate your whole crew<br /> So please don't stay in touchResponse by LTC Private RallyPoint Member made May 25 at 2016 1:05 PM2016-05-25T13:05:10-04:002016-05-25T13:05:10-04:00Cpl Russel Chiacchia4799152<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Drowning Pool-Let the bodies hit the floorResponse by Cpl Russel Chiacchia made Jul 10 at 2019 7:54 PM2019-07-10T19:54:15-04:002019-07-10T19:54:15-04:00SPC Quinton Dixon4799182<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Chance the Rapper- Coco butter kissesResponse by SPC Quinton Dixon made Jul 10 at 2019 8:02 PM2019-07-10T20:02:01-04:002019-07-10T20:02:01-04:00PO3 Bob Erbeck4799220<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My favorite song while in Vietnam was . . . “We Gotta Get Out Of <br />This Place” by The Animals.Response by PO3 Bob Erbeck made Jul 10 at 2019 8:14 PM2019-07-10T20:14:14-04:002019-07-10T20:14:14-04:00SSgt Mike Kendall4799244<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>House of the rising sun.Response by SSgt Mike Kendall made Jul 10 at 2019 8:22 PM2019-07-10T20:22:13-04:002019-07-10T20:22:13-04:00PVT April Lasnetske4799265<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Highway to hell and what wild women doResponse by PVT April Lasnetske made Jul 10 at 2019 8:28 PM2019-07-10T20:28:20-04:002019-07-10T20:28:20-04:00SCPO Enrique Acosta Gonzalez4799266<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Danger Zone (Top Gun).Response by SCPO Enrique Acosta Gonzalez made Jul 10 at 2019 8:28 PM2019-07-10T20:28:37-04:002019-07-10T20:28:37-04:00Capt Pstrick Ellis4799286<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>In Vietnam, Eic Burton & the Animals; “We Gotta Get Out of This Place”.Response by Capt Pstrick Ellis made Jul 10 at 2019 8:35 PM2019-07-10T20:35:35-04:002019-07-10T20:35:35-04:00PO3 Charles Streich4799295<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>We Got To Get Out Of This Place!!!!!!!!!!!!Response by PO3 Charles Streich made Jul 10 at 2019 8:38 PM2019-07-10T20:38:30-04:002019-07-10T20:38:30-04:00PO1 James Lostetter4799314<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>One More DayResponse by PO1 James Lostetter made Jul 10 at 2019 8:43 PM2019-07-10T20:43:04-04:002019-07-10T20:43:04-04:00MSG Thomas Haworth4799321<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/l482T0yNkeo">https://youtu.be/l482T0yNkeo</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-youtube">
