really...that's funny because signal doesn't have $&%& to do with what my cop gets out here....and toilet paper? we don't have that on the regular...i'm just sayin it's not really a deployment when you "get off work" and walk down to subway,mcdonalds,kfc...etc.....but i mean not everyone can be infantry...kudos to you bro....you're still part of the teamOriginally Posted by Mac4167

yea man, it doesn't matter if you in the %%@% or not, being apart from your family for a extended period of time is tough no matter where you are or what your doing. And just because your not stationed at a outpost doesn't mean your not contributing. Because if it wasn't for that guy sitting in Kuwait, either sorting mail or packing convoy's, you wouldn't have %%@% to eat or any toilet paper to wipe your *$# with.

oh ok my bad, but i know what your saying, i was deployed twice with the army (116th MP BGD and 1/12 Cav) and i swear if i had a dollar for every time a Army guy came up to me telling me how bad he wished he'd join the AF instead i'd be freaking rich. It's funny because whenever there is a non-AF group of soldiers sitting around in the chow-hall, there all clowning the AF and talking all this @+%+ but when you talk to one apart from everyone else, there complaining and telling me how bad the Army is and how he'd wish he joined the AF. its all good though, its just a pride thing. oh and im not hating, my father is a SGM in the Army right now, i just appreciate him taking me around Ft. Benning and other army bases and pretty much showing me what i would be getting myself in to and for that im thankful for the AF
