PSA: Remove your firearms from your vehicle.

[Gman]

I'm not a sticker guy in the first place but that's one reason I don't like the idea of putting firearm related stickers on a car.

That sounds very familiar.

[CS1983]

Yeah, you guys need the extra pieces of flair. Blank sleeves would probably mean heart attack.



Well now you have to explain it!

Yeah but your LCpls have the crossed rifles in lieu of the rocker.

You’re right and I just realized I was wrong about Army E-1s.

My memory is bad! Maybe it’s all the crayons?

[CS1983]

Why do the crosses rifles start at LCpl? Is it because that’s the rank a person should be at after completing all training?

I do have stickers, but never, ever, ever firearm or political, that’s for sure.

Stay away from the E-4 Mafia.

In 3 months two of my vehicles were broken into. One was slim jimmed, and they broke the rear 1/4 glass window in my excursion (a SOB to get a replacement). They didn't get anything out of the first vehicle, and the excursion they got a sleeping bag. Got them on video, and even think it was a solicitor that came to the door (I have ring doorbell and got a good video of him). Cops did nothing. They didn't even want the video.

I am beginning to think that if it does not have anything to do with guns or sex crimes, and if the folks that the cops are potentially hemming up have nothing to loose they don't even bother.

I now like to camp out in my vehicles from time to time...

I slapped the paw of a little sh*t @ 4am not too long ago. He was driving up the wrong side of the street, lights off, trying car doors out his driver window. I was loading the truck & saw him coming, hopped in the bed & waited. I smacked his hand so hard it hurt mine. OMGosh his face was just 3 big circles, two white & one giant black hole for a mouth. He was so startled I'm certain he continued to piss until at least the end of the block, maybe even the next. Grinned all week yes I did.

Great story!
I have mind trips sometimes thinking about a water balloon through an open window or such.
When I was a teenager in high school walking home, a 50's convertible Corvette swerved near me and the passenger hosed me down with a fire extinguisher filled with water.
Yep, those memories don't fade away like the drinkin' parties at Yale.

NO!!!

I mean.. maybe.

Most SOI (infantry) grads are E-1, E-2 and went to the Fleet that way fully trained. 03s were usually Cpl/LCpl in their first contract. A Sgt E-5 was a hard charger but possible. The other technical MOSs were different and promoted more quickly. I was always jelly and grunts are perpetually butthurt over this.

We don't get a rocker until SSgt.
