1) Without a doubt so true. I found this out in basic when I dozed off during a ruck march. And then when I was in the 11th ACR, I found myself able to fall asleep while riding in the back of an M113.
2) So many ways to say "F*ck You" with just one simple word..........or make everyone scramble away from PT formation when 1SG yells ZONK.
3) I have a 3 yr old daughter..........so this one doesn't really apply anymore.
4) I get so many strange looks from civilians.
5) Swearing? You should hear me when I log into DTS.
6) The rivalry just goes without having to be said.

Pretty much nailed me
1 - I can sleep anywhere anytime - even while driving
2 - 1000 yard stare - not a word but says so much
3 - I re-grouted my tub last night at 0100 well because it was 'dirty'
4 - On road trips I have way points - and I say refueling
5 - Fuck - best word ever invented
6 - Navy sucks! - Go Army!
Something my wife hates - I would add we are a bit more confrontational than most - "Get off my grass!"

So does RP ever post anything that is not off Task and Purpose? I feel like it is just regurgitating things we know.

SGT William Howell It's one of my favorite sites that covers military and veteran issues - sure you can go out and read the article on Task and Purpose, but you can't comment on it and share your thoughts, thus the Shared Link and capabilities to add content and responses!
