the division run wasnt bad at all..... Untill some joker thought it would be fun to sprint once we got on Ardennes on the way back to the barracks...

Today sucked. Practice for Div revew... They told us no water in the canteens on the LBE, and we sit out in the sun for hours.... I saw a guy almost gut his buddies when he passed out with his bayonet fixed..... It was kinda funny when the CG said something about how good of a job 2d Brigade did in Iraq, and now the marines messed it up, Im not sure exactly what he said, I was half asleep on my feet. Then we got to run back to longstreet from pike field with fixed bayonets, I almost got stabbed in the face multiple times..... Im going to sleep. :p

pain is temporary, glory is forever and chicks dig scars, SO MOVE OUT AND DRAW FIRE!!!

I always HATED Division Review. The whole bayonet thing is a common problem. We got it down to a science tho... We used to whisper something like "Shakey Knees near me!" when a trooper was about to go down, then everyone would prepare for the ginsu slicing bayonet as the trooper plummeted towards the ground.

No water in the canteens??? THAT IS MESSED UP!!! Heat Stroke!

LOL!

Oh I have one good memory of Div Review, when I was there, they had General Gavin paraded around on the field, He was old even then but he still looked strong for his age! HOOAH!

Today was even worse. I though they were never going to stop talking..... This week is all about you.... (then why are we standing out here and you're in the shade), or "Im going to keep this as short as possible..." BULL SH*T. talk, talk, talk......

All those things are the norm for Division review.In 96 or 97 they had a speaker(right before I got there) that went on for like 45-hour,from what everyone told me,I gotta search for his name,I know it was a funny one.I'm like Stick,I been to 4 of them and never "seen" one!

people were planning a bayonet charge on the reviewing stand.....

Im sorry cause I know a bunch of you like the All American Chorus, but I cant stant it, at least not at a function that the infantry is at...... And nor can anyone in my battalion... They were doing their "act" while we marched on the field and everyone was saying they make us look like a bunch of faggots in front of the british paratroopers.... and other stuff like that.....

 

in a really femi voice *this has been the all american chorus, all the way, airborne, hoohah*

^^^LMAO.......when I first got to Bragg,and they rolled in,in that welcoming/reception thing you take your wives to..my wife thought it was gay as hell,and I was giggling myself.But now it brings back memories of Ardennes and what not,so I kinda dig it.
