Dunno. That's why I was blown away when you first asked.

Dog was a little harder to catch since they travel around in packs. Caught you a cat. Do the boxes need breathing holes?

It better be a ****ing tiger or no deal.

Jennifer Lopez · 10-09-2012, 01:42 AM

Sure is. its a rare and noble tiger known to feast in and around trashcans at ecp. Its exotic name "felinis trashcanitus" but is commonly known as "steve"

if you want a dog just go to the baz and give whatever kid is holding a puppy either 20 bucks, or some candy. Too easy.

Afghani dogs are the best, unless you gotta put em down, it takes atleast two rounds to the head. But otherwise they're ****ing loyal beasts.

I miss this lil guy. He was at an ANP compound we had to roll to for an op. Named him trigger. Galloped like a horse and loved us to death.

Would definitely have a dog over here but leadership is so gunho about regulations. It turned worse than garrison. Have seen a couple that looked like that one but alot are tan and have mange.

Thoughts on where you're going to school? UofA has a good program here, management and public policy. The CIA stopped by last week to give a hiring brief for our major and those similar. I'm taking a Public Administration concentration and 4 of the 6 PA classes I'll take are taught by a retired CIA analyst of 31 yrs, which all revolve around Intel and security.

So basically...It was a waste of time?

ECP never fails to entertain. ANA ranger truck sped down the road tried to swerve to miss the stopped ANA truck infront of it, hit a concrete barrier and did a barrel roll. Dude that was sitting in the back got kicked out, somehow landed on his feet running and no one really got hurt besides the driver (who got hit in the head multiple times by his commander )

Yes. It's basically like Land Nav. It's not a hard thing to learn... it's that they want to see if you can be taught something and retain it to see if you're "teachable." And it provides a little culture awareness and a brief, basic understanding of the language. I just can't wait to leave on Monday.

Dari ****ing blows, I'm a little behind my classmates 'cause I started 1 day late (although I'd probably still be behind had I started on time) and to make me even MORE behind I won't be in class tomorrow 'cause I've got a jump all day..

Also can anyone else tell me the Army Service #.. is it the social or is it something else.. I don't trust that website RT posted lol anyone can answer that ****

edit: and my online english class (working towards associates) starts today.. and I'm trying to squeeze the gym in my schedule again.. haven't been for 1.5-2 ****ing weeks since I've been at land-nav/the gf place all week/weekend.. her place has a gym but I got lazy

FatCitySoldier · 10-09-2012, 03:30 PM

Ah... got to love official word that they're adding MFF to the Q. Sweet.

A lot of agencies are not allowed to use them because the FAA owns the airspace and they are unable to pilot drones in non-military airspace. Until the law is changed they can't. So the border patrol for example, are on their own.

Deadly Milkman 2.0 · 10-09-2012, 05:57 PM

I'm talking about overseas lol..

And we've been told that for the first rotation of MFF school they're trying to push my entire class through but every class afterwards is just gonna be a few people of each MOS basically top performers in the Q up until that point.. not sure if that's still true I haven't heard anything for maybe 3 or 4 weeks since we were told that ^.
