My New Pet Peave

[TheRic]

One of my most memorable items I've saved is a pair of underwear from my Army days. I was wearing these the first time I was shot at. ....

Still trying to get the stain out??!!

I was never OA. I don't think I stayed in very long. About two years. I was an Army Brat and my BS was done in Germany. I joined to get a chance to go camping really. Sports and bicycle stunt jumping took up the bulk of my time. I did earn several badges though. They were fun times.
I never listed it on my resume. The one time I did mention it was in Boot Camp. Drill Sarge asked me and one other guy if we had any leadership experience. I blurted out I had been in the scouts and poof! I was made squad leader.
That was the beginning of my training to keep your mouth shut and never volunteer for anything in the Military.
