I don't know much about bomb stocks, but I remember when we were first blasting Afghanistan back in October, 2001 some Air Force spokesman or another was talking to the press and said that because we were just blasting them with old Vietnam-era poo poo it was pound-for-pound cheaper than dropping peanut butter. I remember that distinctly because I thought it was such a weird way of putting it.

Bomb stocks sound like a worthwhile investment. How can my human being brokerage account stop hemorrhaging money on human being Tech, LLC and start cashing in on the deaths of mudmen the world over The other day I had a dream where I came home to the news that the Paki's nuked Dehli and it made me begin weeping with joy. May our dreams come true and Iran solve the ISIS situation with nukes. The one true God is the one whose followers start the nuclear WW3 first

My dad got 4F'd out of the draft. He was born in '39. I've spent the  to try get him to post here since he's an OG nerd, working on computers back when they had vacuum tubes, but I don't think he cares. Snowdens Secret posted:My grandfather got drafted I'm not positive whether it was for Algeria or Indochina but he deliberately pissed the bed every night in boot camp until they sent him home. He had a wife and baby to support and wasn't exactly patriotic to begin with. Pretty much everyone who got drafted with him down to the last man was killed in action. Your dad was French?

My dad was SeaBee, but seeing as he was busy keeping my mom pregnant (4 kids from '61-'68, divorce nine months after the last birth  ) I kinda doubt he did poo poo in SE Asia.I came out a month before Tet, so

We had SHITLOADS of Comp-B-4 artillery rounds and the like in the bunkers. We're talking tens or hundreds of thousands of them, depending on size and purpose. All of them were in beautiful shape, and any nicks on the paint we inspected them and then fixed the paint, inspected them yearly, all of that. Some of that poo poo was manufactured in the 1950's. Every 10 years we do a 'deep lot inspection' and check like 1 out of 5, then relabel them. The older stuff got sent back to the old Army Depots stateside, where they got inspected again and put in other lines of bunkers, while we loaded the newer stuff in. It'd surprise me if we'd used all that poo poo yet. I mean, how much artillery have you been ruining mud-men's days with?

My dad did 10 years as an air traffic controller on a carrier(s) in the late 70s and early 80s. I forget which one. He had some cool cruise books with some crazy poo poo in them. Ended up knocking up my mom in the Philippines and having a beach wedding. Ended up doing the same job in the civilian world and retired a few years ago at 56(mandatory retirement age). Spends his time supporting and drinking at the VFW and golfing across the country with his other golfing and vet buddies.

My dad wasn't black.. so thank god for that I guess? I can't see being a black schizophrenic Jew working.. Oh wait, is Lenny Kravitz still doing booze cruises? My dad does own though, he is as enlisted as gently caress today despite having eventually commisioned and becoming an extremely wealthy successful man. He's a shadow of my Gramps, who got kicked outta the navy for bootlegging and fighting - went onto be a preacher and a sherrif, and was a straight prairie friend of the family and reservation born. He was killed when in the course of being far too tough for death to kill that day he woke up from his medically induced coma, yanked all his poo poo out while they tried to restrain him and he clocked someone and then he died. Screaming, and angry. I'm hoping I go out muttering something about the muds, maybe while in restraints after the VA decided to go ahead and recruit the loving haqqani network and at least the heaviest women of loving Boko Haram to take care of the old vets in the vet homes. Jesus Christ Veterans Home might be the scariest use of English since negro's put their poetry and their sclerotic jazz and rhythm and blues together in an acetate pressing and spun those dubs at club. loving poo poo it's 2014, and were at war in Iraq again. Holy loving poo poo, I can't stay high enough to be calm on this- but I've managed to not watch any news aside from the nightly news. Has anyone war sperg'd this op yet or are we hoping this is all part of an elaborate hosed up hoax involving Robin Williams and Kim Jong-Un(available for meetings since he's got whatever biowarfare agent in his blood and holy loving poo poo put down your pipes and pups fuckers, he ain't been seen in 6 loving weeks? Hahaha oh poo poo. There's not enough weed and Klonopin in this world to keep me from having a panic attack at the thought of how IRL The west wing is really turning into the west wing in its later years loving reality is starting to jump the Sharks just as I get out and start tripping balls. Bravo. Castle Bravo hopefully.

If Kaliber isn't the funniest loving thing on earth, the idea of dressing him up in black face and calling him choc-o-dile sure the gently caress is. Layers upon layers.

Ever Since Harold and Kumar came out I feel like you lil yeller fellers got a little too comfortable at the dinner table. I'm kidding though, you orientals are just like my dog, you'd probably eat the gently caress out of a cat. And I mean that's cool- just not around us actual people. Is that ok with you, chopsticks?

Is anyone else not loving lol'ing their rear end off at Kaliber getting MEB'd for 73 months Give me the Berghdahl deal over what Chucks got comin' when he's purring the reserve and suddenly the only thing between him and the grim specter of death is a parachute sewn by really motivated blind people, packed into carriers built, bought, and then packed by the lowest bidders, dumbest officers, and most retarded of soldiers respectively. gently caress that bullshit like I gently caress your wives while you're defending my freedom and paycheck. You are too brave for your own good, Egg Roll.

The parachutes actually aren't the worst part of jumping. They're built so you can break several strands of 550, or have a big rear end hole in the canopy and still land decent(for a static line jump, anyways) and if your canopy's sketchy or cigarette rolls, you have your reserve, and better pray you pull it quick. The most dangerous part of jumping is the other retards you jump with. They're all holding a solid line, and if the guy in front of you just drops his line when he jumps or the jumpmaster doesn't pull it in and that thing wraps around your arm, your bicep's gonna get to meet your forearm when 80 knot winds pull you out of the plane. Or the shoelace holding your pack tray together doesn't snap like it's supposed to, and you get slapped against the side of the bird until you get dragged in or cut loose and have to rely on your reserve. Then when you're in the air, you can still tangle with dudes in the air. I had that happen once, but we both had a riser twist and couldn't steer yet. A dude named Samodell collided with two other dudes once, and all three canopies deflated a few hundred feet off the ground, killing Samodell and seriously injuring the other two. Then who knows what the gently caress you'll land on, just land like you were taught and you probably won't break anything. I think the only jump I liked was a water jump. We did a chinook ramp blast over American Lake, got to wear pts and no helmet for the jump, then got a boat ride to the shore for beer and bbq. Chinook jumps in general were pretty cool, but anything out a plane I spend the whole time in the air thinking about failures that would get me maimed or killed, mostly the static line around the arm thing.

Too late for Dad Talk? My old man was in WWII and spent his time island hopping in the Pacific as a tank guy. He never talked much about it until late in life - I was his only kid who did any military service and he told me a few stories about blowing poo poo up and rolling fireballs into caves and whatnot. When I asked him why the Vietnam vets had so much trouble after their war, he told me that when he and his buddies got back they were heroes who saved the world, the economy was booming, and all he did was work long hours and drink so he never had time to reflect on what he did during the war. Also, he was getting ready to invade Japan when we dropped the bombs and the war ended. His LT told him the tank crews were going to be in the first wave with an expected fatality rate around 90%, so I guess I'm only here because of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
