[DaveM55]

I can relate to many of those.

[Tsgtbob]

Been there, Done that!!!
Got several tee shirts too...

[ExCopInPhilly]

HELL THE F*** YEAH. I have sent this to about 200 people so far!!!! Great post, and very very true.

[Xringshooter]

I resemble a few of those . Hell, probably more than a few. I know a few people I'll send it to.

[P.SUTER]

I just copied it and sent it to my guys that are still in the Middle East!

[Guy Fawkes]

Very true, especially about the alcohol abuse.

[Ten*K]

oh hell yeah. 22nd B-day in suck-ass Okinawa doing more than SEVEN Stop-lights (trio of shots of: sake w/green wasabe, gold tequila, and vodka w/grenadine). Way too many, and then sticking me in the front seat of a Jap Taxi (where the driver is on the RIGHT side) and every time I nodded off screaming "LOOK OUT MAN YOU"RE GONNA WRECK THE CAR!"

Then, projectile vomiting the moment moment I got out of the car and being carried up five flights of stairs and gingerly put to bed while they laughed their asses off. And then checking on me thru the night and cleaning up the barf... and getting the Corpsman to come infuse me with an IV the next day... while continuing to laugh at my expense.

Nowhere else would you get people who intentionally put you in harm's way, fuck with you the whole time, and then actually take care of you afterwards like Florence F'ing Nightingale while at the same time laughing their collective asses off.

If anyone has been to Korea, then you will remember the Thunder Runs. For those that don't, when you go to the Ville, there is always a strip that has bars and whorehouses up and down both sides. You run from post to the strip, and then in every bar or club, you have a shot and a beer, and you run from place to place in between. Then if you're not drunk when you finish, you repeat until you pass out. This was done to every new person and on birthdays. Don't forget the Kettle Houses on Hooker Hill in Itaewon.

You left one reason out, the FINAL Run...... When one was going back to the world.


Heard this whole list before, but this one left out one of my favorites

Civilian Friend: Will always drink your last beer and beg you to get more.
Military Friend: Walks in the Door with a six pack in each hand.

Civilian Friend: Will forget you in two weeks
Military Friend: Shows up after 2 years and picks up the conversation like they were never gone.
