O-n-e.

And a minus at that.

It's the retired ones that are predominantly the rightwingnuts. So many of 'em base their impressions and pass judgements on rightwing politics first and foremost. Whatever serves their cause.

Sometimes they can pull it off, other times they can't.

As Einstein pointed out, one is all it takes. I'm going to let this drop. Good luck.

Einstein eh.

I post to a minus-one and the name Einstein comes back.

We all know E=MC squared. Einstein had another I believe along the line of Minus One = FU squared.

You are unfamiliar with Einstein's famous reply to the "Hundred Against Einstein" publication?

I understand of course.

So I addressed other posters in their contemptible denial of me and in respect of the period of assignment at a duty station in my Post #247. I state how The Old Guard of the Army is exceptional in the period of time at a duty station (permanent or temporary; special detailed etc).

(Same is true of all branches concerning ceremonial duty assignment to the Military District of Washington. The MDW ceremonial duty in each branch is voluntary...because not everyone is cut out for the chicken**** involved while some others of us eat it up. :mrgreen: )

Your posture of inquiring rather than being contrarily and stridently assertive deserves a respectful reply. If you have any follow up, lemme know. Your inquiry is a valid one, for sure. My reply discusses the nature of it at MDW.

Contempt of nco's I presently interact with and in the present only -- exclusively the retired gorilla nco rightwingnuts who presume to know an aspect of the military experience and personnel they are wholly ignorant of.

Those who with prejudice base their sorry judgements solely on rightwingnut politics.

NCO's I served with are men I respected and whose wise counsel was always welcome. Retired nco rightwingnuts who have become presumptuous and overbearing keyboard warriors are of no value or merit in anything. Not to be trusted with a quart of milk never mind the life of a grunt.

As to Ft. Myer, it should not be strange that several decades later an additional 'e' can slip in somewhere and slip by.

It matters not because irreparable harm has been committed over there, the statement of the fact being the only reason this post is being written.

Two words.

No clue over there of the humongous number of single women on the loose in northern Virginia and across the river in DC throwing themselves at the feet of the dazzling Old Guard lean mean men of their splendid marching machine.

:D

Great. Only someone who's been there can appreciate it.

My time wuz four years, from 1966 so he was a wee lad when I wuz parading around same as he did later in his time.

If you see him again he'd recognize the secret code words among the Old Guard grunts that identifies those of us who wore the tab "Honor Guard".

So if you see him pass 'em on from me and watch him grin, that "The Old Guard Sucks!" (The 'sucks' gets a rising tone of an increased volume and pitch.)

Going into the Old Guard is voluntary. Don't have to go if you don't want to cause of all the chickensh!t. The Army invites you to go.

Hey, the Army orders you off to war and that's it. You gotta go. And there wuz the Army offering me my choice to go to the Old Guard or not to go.

So I thought to myself, what could go wrong...

:slapme:

:cheers:
