I actually didn't know you'd been in Jason, what was your MOS? Mine was the shittiest one there was (no, I wasn't a cook or MP, it was worse. Yes, worse.)

Worse than a Cook, Rugger Ducky? I went in as a 39G and the MOS was changed to 74G about halfway through. I hated it. I took my dad's advice and "got into computers." I should have done something in intelligence or PR.

No it doesn't, Mike Bates. :P

77F10H7 (Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants Supply Specialist with truck driver ASI), stationed in Avn units the whole time. Spent 5 years pumping gas and ammo into running helicopters. Yes, running helicopters. So blowing dust, smoke, sparks, everything around, and trying not to breathe the crap and blow up. ;)

I would say the NG counts nowadays, since you're just as likely to get called to AD and shipped to Afghanistan.

If they served in a forward position it counts, if not, it doesn't.

Tried to reclass as a 98B (counter intel), and the day before my DLAB and reclass packet made it to DA, I came down on orders for a 4 yr Germany tour. As a mid-careerist. Ironically it was about a week after DADT came down, so I decided to do the honorable thing and say "Fuck you too" back to the US Army. ;)

Alan Pruitt I live in San Jose now after a very long circle back around the country. When I left the service it was when Ft Ord closed down--that was one weird year. The "Planet Ord" looks SOOO different now.

Tell me about it - I think I was the last group to do the land nav course at Ft Ord - when I started DLI. I moved to Pleasanton for 12 years after DLI.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
