Terminal Lance

[Red October1984]

Just a humor topic for those who love Military Humor like me.

Found this site on FB...it's hilarious.

Just start flipping through a few.

Terminal Lance


#17...been there...done that

My favourite on FB is Dirk Steel - Speshul Forces. Very funny once you learn how to read his form of writing - see the spelling of Speshul, well it's all like that and associated things like Telly Ban (Taliban), Venuz whalers, and was at Carlos Santana in the Falklands.

It really is brilliant.

This one with the challenge coins is pretty funny they had those in the Air Force as well course only the desk jockeys care about them it goes off about like that when someone does start sporting one.

In the Marines a POG is anyone with a non combatant job.The Air Force equivalent would be a desk jockey(I'm sure that do something important at that desk) in comparison to a mechanic or a cop or a CE someone who works on their feet all day.

That just sounds like something a POG/Desk Jockey would do.

#88 is pretty good too.

As a civilian and not a veteran you are the ultimate POG though keep that in mind.

You really do not want to hear what active military has to say about people in JROTC or CAP or similar programs so I'll spare you but it is much harsher than what a POG gets in those programs you still can walk away and you have no binding contract or law mom and dad can help you and you can go home or sit it out on rough day you always have that fall back even if you do not use it.Military on the other hand and vets we did not have that fall back dropping out and quitting was not an option without sever consequences.And some POGs work their asses off for example intel guys often work 16 or 17 hours a day.

I know you have an interest in the military and you are in a military style program but until you are there your self and the experience is real and not vicarious you will never fully understand.You will understand what I mean one day if you do join up you'll have the "this is real" moment.And even when you are in when your an FNG you still will not have earned full respect yet from your peers and people flake out a lot in their first year and do not make it and that get "failure to adapt to military lifestyle" on their DD214.

It is a good thing to have confidence do not get me wrong but you can have confidence that you can grab a bull by the horns and then you can have actually grabbed the bull's horns.

I used to have the hardest time with the squids on our base. There are only two mistakes you can make that will end your life.

1. Not Saluting a CWO.
2. Saluting a CPO.

I never could keep the different uniforms and insignia straight. That's why the AF only had one uniform.

Way too complicated for a dumb zoomie like me. Especially at night.

And you could tell that the CPOs were just waiting. Buttheads.

On my old unit we called them Shineys, because their trousers were worn to a shine from all that sitting down.

Very funny cartoons. There is something about military humour.
