I was an e-type for a long time.  IMO I've earned the right to hang out with both enlisted and ozzyfers.

We are all airborne here...(some nasty legs here too)...rank is secondary.  Fact still remains I earned my blue cord twice.

Yeah...  damn nasty legs hanging around here... hey!

Yeah and you can't even be Airborne by injection...not without violating several regs and the law of nature! But hey we were all earthlings at some point...just that some of us couldn't stand to be Legos.

Jay...again congrats brother now all you gotta do is pass EIB testing!

Stand in the door!

Re: EIB: What's a guardsman to do to get this? Hang with an active unit when they go through it? I'm close enough to Ft. Campbell.

Is this something I could push through the company or battalion to spend a weekend doing?

Congrats on your new favorite color.

I wore mine for a short time, then ended up with the Redlegs.

Red has been my favorite color ever since.

All the way, sir!!!

Oh, I feel bad.  Congratulations to you, young stud.  ('62, '68, '83)  Damned ruck got bigger & heavier each time.  So did responsibility.  Wear that Infantry Blue with pride.

Big Time Congrats!

I still remember getting my cord in 97 very clearly but became a 21B this year.

Was really hard to take it off my A's for the dining out last weekend.

my uniform looks kinda naked.

Corded in early 03, so I'll just take a Miller lite.
