Too short, not enough swearing. But close, oh so close.

"no seatbelts this weekend top?"

Why would you put something like that on the Web on purpose? Did he lose a bet?

The PT belt is an inside joke for lack of a better term. Basically a reflective pt belt, according to most commanders, is a mitigation to everything from herpes to friendly fire or IED's. The pt belt giving a safety brief is comedic irony. In the army, leaders are tasked with developing a composite risk assessment matrix for everything we do. Even to go on leave requires direction on how to come back safe and unscathed from your venture into the scary real world. I guess it's just one of those things you had to be a part of to really "get"... Like "blue Falcons" and "good idea fairies" "E4 mafias" etc...

Lately (the last couple days) I've been running at 0100 every morning , WITHOUT a PT belt... still here.

I'm trackin'. For a minute I thought he was trying to be serious. The mustache was pretty sweet though.

The PT belt really does work!

Well doesn't it?? ;)

Seeing you knuckleheads wearing them in a combat zone...that was priceless!

Almost as priceless as the speed limit sign posted around Kandahar airfield at 12.5MPH

I also failed to perform D&C afterwards, there was no cadence being called, and I had visible tattoos... There was a great disturbance in the force.

Nate · « **Reply #12 on:** July 28, 2015, 12:40:27 PM »

that explains the disturbance that was felt......did you have mis matched uniform as well

It's possible. I even walked on the grass..

Atkinsmatt · « **Reply #14 on:** July 28, 2015, 03:22:33 PM »

Did you perform and document police call afterwards?

Nope, I ate a sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. It was tasty, no supporting documents.

I thought it kinda sounded like Nate in that video. I could picture him yelling at his underlings like that. haha

Nate · « **Reply #22 on:** July 30, 2015, 06:50:29 PM »

no stash for this guy ken. its either full beard or nothing at all. here is ol nate giving instruction to some civilians on the firing range in Afghanistan in 2007.

Nate · « **Reply #23 on:** July 30, 2015, 06:52:22 PM »

I have more colorful terms of endearment that may not be appropriate for this venue such as "a pile of spilt F*#k".

KensAuto · « **Reply #24 on:** July 30, 2015, 06:55:12 PM »

Hahaha.
What the heck was civies doin' with guns in Crappystan?

Nate · « **Reply #25 on:** July 30, 2015, 07:07:21 PM »

That instruction hand as you call it, when attached to the platoon sergeant, back in the Triassic when I was a young sergeant, would occasionally land up-side some one's head who wasn't paying attention.
These days I thing the PSG pulls out the "Red Card" that expresses he is uncomfortable with what is going on! ;)

Nate · « **Reply #28 on:** July 31, 2015, 07:05:21 PM »

no red card yet, but there have been a few youngins that have seen the fire in my eyes and the vein bulging around my temple area when they choose to not listen.
