Here's a couple of pics from a 5 mile combat run back in 2001. Gave the youngsters a surprise, and an education about "old dogs".;)

The surprise came in the last mile when I "kicked in the afterburner". Could have charged right through a brick wall on that last dash to the finish line, and never felt it. Two minutes after I finished the run you could have knocked me over with a feather.:rolleyes: ;)

With all due respect, sir, none of the pics marked 'Sarge' are REALLY recognizable...
 
Duck, them guano fumes is "fowling" up your wits, careful or you're liable to get dizzy and drop a khuk on your toe.

Aardvark, if I'd known my integrity was going to be questioned I'd of stopped and made sure they got my good side. As it was, the run was part of a competition, so I was focused on the task at hand, never even noticed they were taking pictures as we passed checkpoints. By the way, bad idea to call a senior NCO "sir", unless he's your daddy.

I'll second that. I never made that mistake myself, but I saw others do it. Not a pretty sight.
 
I used to have a standard reply when I was still in the Army, as a Sergeant, and some one called me "sir". I told them not to call me "sir", I WORK for a living.

We all know sarge works for a living, and not to question his honesty.

Good Job Sarge!
 
If there was any offense taken by my remarks, I withdraw them. I would be the last to question your integrity. I do understand about running, and how your 2nd (3rd, 4th) wind kicks in at the end.

Not having been in the military (rather regret that now. sort of), I wasn't aware of NCO protocol. Another apology for that.
 
Sarge, when I was in (drafted in '71), we went on one of these "little" runs. Thought I was going to die. The "old Sarge" that was running us wasn't even breathing hard. At the third mile he took out a cigarette and lit up; never breaking stride. Many a breakfast was lost by the boys at that point. :D Hooah is right!

There's a lot of truth in that statement. I've seen officers put in some long hours, but in many cases it looked to me like all that time added up to a lot of busywork. Now, for all of you officers reading this, I don't apply that as a universal statement. I have met some hard-working, intelligent officers. Of course, most of them were prior-enlisted... :D

Who's your daddy maggot? You call that a proper position of parade rest? Suck that gut in and pretend for a minute that you've got a chest to throw out. Here son, I'll help you out on that one, drop and start pushing down the planet. While you're doing pushups maybe enough blood'll squeak it's way into that itty bitty brain of yours for you to realize you're just a gourd headed punk that ain't fit to be a wheel chock for my humvee. On your feet jellyroll, and wipe them girly little tears out of your eyes, I'm your daddy, not your mama. Hee hee, Bwaaaa, now shuffle on back to your retirement community down there in Miami Duck, and be nice to them little old ladies, you still need a date for Saturday night, right?

ps: Aardvark, no grudge held here, you just inadvertently pushed two of my "buttons" simultaneously
