Thread: Need a strop

Some good old units there. You've bounced around a bit! The only places I saw in the Army was Ft. Benning and Ft. Bragg, neither of which I'm in a big hurry to visit again any time soon. Once I bounced to the Navy, I got around quite a bit...Took the Fifteen Year retirement and ran!

EDIT: Tried to put up unit crests, but no size continuity looked like dookie.

Entropy, you sound like me, went from the Army to the Navy. Got a medical after a helo crash back in 87'. Sarg, My dad was in the Big Red 1.

I'm not gonna lie to you, the army has changed a lot and still changing, I don't think I'll like the peace time army. ... it's all about feelings now and sensual assault/harassment prevention, no tattoos... it's getting softer and softer by the minute. I doubt doing 20. See I'm sleeved up both arms so now I can't apply to be officer (which I'm not trying) or warrant officer (which I was planning to do). The army care about how u look not what / who u are or what u can do or bring to the table.

A bureaucracy is a bureaucracy no matter what its selling or providing. Sleeves in any sector, public or private, are going to be an issue. Just the way it is, and always has been. Fit-in or fall-out.
