Mall ninja? Can you be a mall ninja in the millitary?

I'm guessing this was directed at me. Slim Jim, please tell me why you think I'm a mall ninja; and then learn how to spell "military".

 

[JNieporte]

Oh, and nobody has the correct answer yet. Sorry.

 

[PG5768]

Were you in the Army operating a floor buffer? Do they still use those?

 

[JNieporte]

I've never ran a floor buffer in my entire life. I don't know anybody who joins the military to become a custodian.

 

[PG5768]

Those were part of the "other duties as required" for many of us from basic thru permanent assignment, especially in the Infantry, a few decades ago. (BTW, just EMs, Officers didn't get the opportunity).

I don't know anyone who joins to do KP, either, but...

Speaking of floor buffers, the MPs used to use dogs and come through the barracks looking for pot, see? So this guy I knew took an 1/8th oz. of finely powderized weed and mixed it with the floor wax when it was applied. Drove the dogs nuts.

Ah, the good old days!

I forgot about KP and cleaning out dumpsters with a scrub brush, oh what fun we had.

This actually made me laugh, which I don't do too often. I'll send you something cool just for that story. E-mail me your address.

Everybody else, the contest is still going...

Happy to give you the lead in riffraff. Great story, it made me smile, too, and you get a bonus prize, congrats!

 

[JNieporte]

PG5768; I take it you were in the Infantry. 11 Bravo?

 

[PG5768]

PG5768; I take it you were in the Infantry. 11 Bravo?

11C was my primary MOS (FDC back in the era of slide rules) and 71B my secondary (because I knew how to type). I'd ask you yours, but with any luck some one will guess it.

 

[hunter s thompson]

Im going to say Army and signal corps or is signal corps to general?

 

[JNieporte]

No, Signal Corps isn't too general; it's just not the right answer. The closest so far has been SladeGT40.

 

[_habit_]

I'm gonna guess Navy, Extraction?

 

[PG5768]

If I'm allowed another guess I'll try Army Pathfinder.
