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 You are no longer active military, but still know where your PT belt is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.......

Now that all the early risers should be tucked in tight, I post the "You might be a Navy Brat if" list.
You may be a Navy Brat if:
1. You were sent honorary citizenship papers from your family’s home state when you were born.
2. None of your siblings were born in the same state.
3. Telling people where you were from required an essay.
4. Your first cruise ship experience was a ship movement from Portsmouth to Norfolk.
5. Most all the homes you ever lived in were cinderblock duplexes.
6. You made friends in one state, would move away, and were reunited in another.
7. Neighborhoods were called housing.
8. Some school supplies you had such as pens and binders were labeled “Property of U.S. Government.”
9. Police were called Shore Patrol.
10. The street you lived on included people from all races and foreign places and nobody made a big deal about it.
11. Life isn’t fair was learned at a young age.
12. You had school records in your parent’s home state marking ship deployments.
13. Every mother in housing reported on you.
14. You had your own suitcase by 5 and knew how to pack it.
15. You feel sorry for people who grew up in one place.
16. Proper address of adults was ma’am and sir.
17. Eating in the mess hall was a special treat.
18. Never occurred to you to question being fenced in and having security gates.
19. You had pen pals in other states or foreign countries.
20. Your family bought furniture with weight allowances in mind.
21. Retelling your childhood exploits later in life horrified your parents because they could have lost housing privileges.
22. Hearing a bugle caused you to stop and stand at attention no matter where you were.
23. Getting sent to the principal’s office could cause your parent to see their captain.
24. Your room was inspected for cleanliness.
25. Field day cleaning came with moving.
26. When you graduated high school you could boast attending 12 or more schools along the way.
27. Your toy collection included something bought in several different countries.
28. Your mom was the strongest person you knew.
29. Holiday meals always included several single sailors who couldn’t travel.
30. You grew up knowing that zoomies, puddle pirates, grunts, squids and jar heads were people to be respected.

you've ever had to wear full battle-rattle, goggles, elbow and knee pads, and Kevlar to the DFAC because the mayor cell thinks there might be incoming IDF. Then the CSM makes you wear a PT belt over it so you will be a more visible target.....

You hear a helo flying over your house and you can tell if it it a Black Hawk, Chinook, or Apache.
If it is an Apache you pray that he will make a gun run on your neighbors down the street that can't seem to mow their yard.
