Military TESTies

[Krystal LeChuck]

Well said! And so was born the Molotov Cocktail.

The name "Molotov cocktail" was coined by the Finns during the Winter War.[1] The name is an insulting reference to Soviet foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov, who was responsible for the setting of "spheres of interest" in Eastern Europe under the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact in August 1939. The pact with the Nazis bearing Molotov's name was widely mocked by the Finns, as was much of the propaganda Molotov produced to accompany the pact, including his declaration on Soviet state radio that bombing missions over Finland were actually airborne humanitarian food deliveries for their starving neighbours. The Finns sarcastically dubbed the Soviet cluster bombs "Molotov bread baskets" in reference to Molotov's propaganda broadcasts.[2] When the hand-held bottle firebomb was developed to attack Soviet tanks, the Finns called it the "Molotov cocktail", as "a drink to go with the food".[3] Molotov himself despised the name, particularly as the term became ubiquitous.[4]

You at McCoy? I was in a unit that fell under the 88TH fro a while. I was never stationed at Carson but lived in the springs for about 12 years. When in Germany I was in Kitzigen and Ansbach under 1ID before they moved back stateside. The good old days....

 

[BUTUZ]

I've always wanted to be in the military but always been too much of a pussy.

I think I could fly a helicopter. I could also fix all those computer things.

Shame if all that was in the interview was ^^^^^^^^^^^ I think I'd get in! Too old now, and wear glasses. No go.

[FZD]

I'm in (the reserve now to be precise) Finnish Defence Forces, Häme Cavalry Battalion, HQ Troop. (I even saw a horse once)
NCO, my squad will man the soup cannon, capable of mass-shitstruction.
Them Russians come over the border, they won't know what hit them. Me neither, because I wouldn't be the one hitting them. I'd be in the last line of defense at whatever objective we are covering, with a lot of guys in front of me who'd be rightfully pissed if our gourmet van got blown.

As a former 34F.... you all suck at comsec.

The Pyro and NAS Agana Guam are razor blades / closed, the other 2 ships will sink the first time this nation attacks a country capable of modern warfare. As far as intel collecting, I've personally been out for over a decade, the only thing to gather from me are my stale farts.

[Dyrtnapz]

Nobody wants 50+ yr old kidneys, especially after they have filtered 78956761297 gallons of booze. Besides, I hear people are into Chinese when it comes to parts.

You don't give enough classes to us on how not to suck :p Make it into a powerpoint, email it to me, and ill forget about it. Then right before we deploy ill dig it up and turn a 4 day class into a 1 hour class since we are short on time.

My god I hated powerpoint..

 

[Duckforceone]

My god I hated powerpoint..

when i first became an officer and an instructor, i thought powerpoint was the most amazing thing. I had never really used powerpoint up until then, and were doing more low tech lessons, but becoming changed my mind. Like you could have everything on your slides so you didn't forget anything. And all the other officers and instructors used them extensively.
So i started studying powerpoint, got myself one of those fine powerpoint remotes, and trying to figure out how to powerpoint.
Then after using that for a short while thankfully, i started reading more in depth about powerpoint.

That is when i fell over the holy grail of powerpoint.
KISS.

So now i rarely use powerpoint anymore.

(i also fell over a great ted talk explaining how little to use powerpoint)
