Rally Point, it's been a very long weekend with the events that have been going on over the last 10 days. With many of the discussions focusing on that, there isn't much room to decompress, so being I'm a Jeff Foxworthy fan, instead of "You know you're Redneck if...Let's do "You know you're a Veteran if..... I'm posting these memes of mine to get it going. But to add to them..You know you're a veteran if:

1. Your credit score is higher than your first paycheck as a private
2. You laugh when you hear troops talking about how broke they are, but have money for beer.
3. You smiled when told the forecast for rain, just to show up to PT formation and it's dry...UNTIL you start doing PT...
4. Your favorite brand of liquor was called "whatever someone else bought"...meaning it was free.
5. You remember laughing at troops who thought 29% APR was good...
6. Your version of giving directions to get somewhere near Ft. Bragg uses strip clubs, tattoo parlors, and used car dealerships as reference points...
7. You were told by your PSG that Top wanted to see you in his office. The current temp outside his office is a nice 72 degrees....the moment you go in, it's 172 degrees and rising, and when you crawl out, it's below zero being you just got done sweating half your body weight.
8. You're scared to walk on your own grass at home, so you hire someone to do it.
9. You are no longer active military, but still know where your PT belt is
10. You can look at all the meds you take in one hand, but the total count is more than you have fingers, toes, and limbs.
11. You're in PT formation and all the NCO's line up in the first rank to call cadence, and EVERY one of them can only know...C130 rolling down the strip.....

AND GO.......

you might be a veteran if you have ever told someone (or been told) to fix your headspace and timing and then come back.

You went 21 days without a shower, glad the MOPP gear you wore had a charcoal lining. Also you knew who the AF guys were by the fact that they didn't stink. You stayed in the field and the AF stayed in hotels.

You remember the scent ... odor ... whiff ... of well-used web gear waiting to be issued to the latest gaggle of naive draftees. You remember it because your Dad's duffel from WWII had exactly the same aroma.

At least I was alive, LOL... I knew I had been in the Navy a really long time when the Seamen reporting onboard my last ship were born after I joined the Navy. Meaning I was literally old enough to be their Father! :(

PO1 John Miller I told a young sailor one time that I worked on A-4s when I was in the Navy. He looked at me like I was one of the Wright Brothers.

You've ever described walking a significant distance by using the word "hump" or one of its conjugates.
e.g. "Man! I parked like 3 blocks away so I had to hump it back over here."

1. Keeping in step when walking with others, this includes walking with a limp because the guy next to you has a limp.
2. Getting ahead of a group or falling behind so you don't have to march in formation.
3. Keeping your hands out of your pocket.
4. Keeping your laces tucked in your boots.
5. 360 walk around before getting in your car.
6. you put your ball cap on 2 fingers off your nose.

This happened today.

You wife last week tells you they hired a new guy at the office.
Today you ask her how the FNG is doing and she has no clue what you are talking about.
