Sorry, that was under "Common Misconceptions about Arabs!

quote:

US soldiers should limit physical contact to a handshake.

Edit: This may be useful

quote:

�I wish evil upon you� - Biting the right forefinger,
which has been placed sideways in the mouth, may
be a threat or an expression of regret. In Western
culture the "A-OK" sign is a positive gesture.
However in the Arab world, if the gesture is shaken
at another person it symbolizes the sign of the evil
eye. An Arab may use the sign in conjunction with
verbal curses.
�I wish you harm� -Hitting the right fist into the open
palm of the left hand indicates obscenity or
contempt.
�You�re lying� - Placing a half closed hand in front of
the stomach, and then turning it slightly connotes
that the person to whom the gesture is made is a liar.
�I insult you� - Placing the tips of the left fingers and
thumb together so that the hand faces right, then
placing the tip of the right forefinger directly on the
left fingertips indicates an obscenity or insult directed
at one�s birth or parentage.
�You are unimportant� - Showing soles while sitting is
considered rude. and symbolic of �you being
beneath my feet�. Sit instead with soles toward or on
ground to be polite. Also maintain eye contact; lack
of eye contact strongly conveys �you are
unimportant� as well.
Warning! Gestures indicating obscenities or insults
should not be used by non-Arabs. Arab gestures of this
type have varying degrees of intensity. Depending upon
the circumstances and country, incorrect usage could lead
to serious offenses and cause diplomatic incidents.

I wish I could take that picture and your quote and hold onto it forever. I'd hug it before I went to bed, and when I was having a bad day I'd pull it out and remember that life is just one huge joke. Then things would get better.

Raise your hands if you have gotten at least ten messages from your command about ebola.
Okay keep them up if you think you will ever see someone with ebola as a Soldier.
Nobody? Okay good. Lets stop those emails then.

Clearing papers in hand, final out 22 October, sign out on terminal on the 28th. Gross pension $4041/month plus whatever bone the VA throws me, which should be a loving Mastodon femur given all the poo poo in my med records. I may or may not have dodged any sort of retirement ceremony, but I sure ain't gonna bring it up.

Thanks, it's been a hoot.

Awesome man! Congrats!

In completely opposite news, I was selected for AGR. Which I am happy about because I am sick of looking for mobilizations every year.

I had to take a first assignment that is probably going to suck (USACAPOC) but after that it's smooth sailing!
