I PCS'ed. Not to be confused with Permanent Change of Station; it's Permanent Civilian Status.

They say that when a guy gets out of the service he is promoted to PFC.

PFC = Proud, (that X word Swamprat mentioned above), Civilian.

I thought PFC meant Paid Full Compensation.

PFC: Provided Full Cranium.

Q: Why doesn't the military just take these nut jobs and drop them into an enemy base?

A: The media needs horror stories.

When I left school we had conscription.. so off to training I went.
Coming from a 'normal' home evironment, I never 'met' so many nut jobs, thieves, etc... even rapists.

By the end of our basic training (3 months) about 20 were in prison already, approx 10% of the intake. It was a real eye-opener for me... where do these animals come from ??

We carried weapons, but never had live ammunition, even during the high stress times some years later.
