Anyway, what I AM spouting off is called good-old inter and intra-service rivalry...something they obviously don't train in that ultra-tough neo-technical world of "Aircraft Maintenance" or whatever the hell you do in your little secret part of the world...

Again (and I will type S-L-O-W-L-Y) paratrooper web site....you are a military member, so Hoo-AH to you...but you are NOT a trooper.  And how dare you say it does not take brains or brawn to jump out of an aircraft!  Ever wear a parachute harness while strapped to a few hundred pounds of shit, waddle across an airfield, climb aboard a "highly maintained" flying machine, endure a few hours of NAP of the earth flight just to hoist yourself up and hurl your body out JUST SO you can live in the friggin woods in the snow and rain and dust and dirt?  Yeah, we have it really easy...

If you want to discuss how mentally incompetent I am, I have a Masters Degree, 2 BA's and speak 7 languages. 

If you want to see how weak and puny I am, meet me on Deglopper field for a game of push-ball...I am the 6'6" 270 pound cop with a bloody nose and a smile...

whoops, never mind, Deglopper Field was plowed under....

If you truly want to enjoy this site, that means you get to take some shit every now and then from idiots like me.  Call it an occupational hazard...

And yes, regardless of what your feeble AF mind may believe, paratroopers are better than everyone else.  That includes military, civilians, terrorists, tree huggers, elves, the hordes of mordor, etc....Thanks for fixing my ride though...can a brother get some sharks teeth painted on it next time though?

Do you listen to yourself when you talk; or do you just fade in and out?

Dude, maybe you should read the name of this site:  It's "paratrooper.net" 

It's not "everbodyinthemilitaryisequal.net"

It's not "cantweallgetalong.net"

It's not  "letsalljoinhandsandsingkumbayah.net"

It's "paratrooper.net"

If we weren't a little pumped up about being Airborne, we wouldn't be here, get it?  If I went to a website designed by, and for, Air Force PJs, and started woofing the same kind of crap you are putting out, I'd expect a verbal beat-down, and I would deserve it. 

If I went onto a Marine Corps web site and started saying "just because you're a jarhead doesn't mean sh*t!" then I would expect the same kind of treatment you're getting now. 

I realize that there are people who think that they should be able to go onto any message board and say whatever they want and never get criticized for it, but that's not the way it works.  This board is a virtual "all ranks" club for paratroopers, past and present, and the friends and families of paratroopers.  If you show respect, you're welcome here.  If you can't, then you'll be invited to leave.  Feel free to populate another board, or to start www.airforceoperationsgeek.net, where you can talk about those arrogant, opinionated paratroopers to your hearts content, okay? 

Paratroopers are better than everyone else except for HH6's and Rangers.  But, I may be personally biased on that one!

By the way, ape grunts is not a language

Theres a difference between espree decorp and just trying to trample on someone to make your team feel like a team. You saying your better simply because you have different training is trampling on people who don't have your training. However since you seem to only listen to those who are "hardcore" ponder on this awhile...

I use to be in the Army... 6 years I spent. 5 of the 6 was spent in the 10th Mountain and the other year was spent at Camp Hovey Korea. I was a 13F which is a forward observer. When I went into the field I went with the Infantry. I carried the same equipment + the radio and whatever other job specific equipment I needed. I wanted to go to Airborne and Air Assualt school but my fucking unit never gave up enough slots to my battery. While I was in Korea I did the Manchu mile (25mile road march) so there should be no question as to my ability.

Furthermore want to know how many times I got deployed while in the Army? 0!! I was in a combat job skill and never got deployed once. I got out and soon after that joined the Air Force. I joined a non combat job skill and I was already deployed 2 months after joining.

I am not some spolied leg who doesn't know the meaning of hard work or busting your ass. I however don't brag about it or make it seem as though I am or was more important then someone who drives 5 tons, or pushes papers at finance. See I understand that everyone in the Military is there for a reason and that no one job is more important then the other. Your all big and bad when it comes to jumping out of aircraft and shooting weapons but once you get back to the rear whos going to handle your reintegration if there is no medical personnel to give you your redeployment physical? Whos going to take care of your teeth because you chipped one eating an MRE? Who's going to take care of your lost pay when there is no finance?

You need to stop and rethink your stance on whos a stud and whos a dud. The tip of the spear isn't the only part of the spear. Spare me the crap you spew about "you guys are just support" its a conceded, egotictical, and assinine comment and only serves to infuriate those its directed at.

Or is it just that you wanted to jerk our chains and see how quickly you could get yourself tossed?  That pretty much makes you a troll, then, right? 

I HAVE THE TIP OF YOUR SPEARPOINT

 "RIGHT HERE"  (Grabbing crotch)

You're dead to me...

Do you listen to yourself when you talk; or do you just fade in and out?

HH6, almost forgot...

You are correct.  You guys rock.  Just remember though, hoo-ah Ranger Hubby was a paratrooper first.  He does have you "jump qualified"...

Heck, I just heard him the other day,

"I couldn't get HH6 into the Ranger Bn, so I got the Ranger Bn, Into her..."

bwaaaa-haaaaaa-haaaaaaa!

Do you listen to yourself when you talk; or do you just fade in and out?

Okay... long and short of it, there isn't a single hooah on this website that doesn't understand and recognize the critical role every swinging johnson and dripping clam has in the greater scheme of our war effort. Is there chest pounding attitude? Of course... comes with the territory... during my couple exposures to combat I was quite happy to have men on the right & left of me who thought they were the baddest SOBs to ever walk the earth... that aggressive nature is what gives us the edge during the "speed and violence of action" part of assaulting and killing the enemy.

Now... before this becomes a misguided virtual dogpile... how's about everyone sit back and take a deep breath.

BF, you know something... your smarter than you look.
