Discussing the VP debates during the UT OU game ThaiAPDGuy : "I don't know why Cheney didn't just Force Choke Edwards to death!"
My first wedding ring was gold. It now resides on my keychain as a reminder of things gone bad and weakness of character on my part. My new ring is black titanium steel. I love to look down at it when things are hard and the world wants me to take the easy road. Titanium steel. Not flexible. Not willing to take the path of least resistance. Not willing to toss away morality for the rush of the moment. It reminds me ...
An overwhelming majority of commenters on this thread agree that families have it tougher when a soldier deploys. I have to agree. I remember my first tour in Korea and it was a bloody cake walk. Essentially guys on deployment away from their families simply revert to being little boys. We just sort of carouse and pass the time aimlessly without much conscious thought. EvilPidge (updates are a good thing you tubby bitch!) and I spent most of a year playing Doom and X...
Xtine's commentary in this recent article has led me to consider the real effects of soldier deployment on familiies. Since I am personally only capable of elocuting the results of deployment on a soldier I thought I would put the question to the JU comuunity at large: Is it harder on the the family left behind or for the soldier who is deployed?

You want to watch a Hajji copy of "The Pacifier"? Fine, watch that shit in YOUR OWN GODDAMN ROOM! It isn't our fault you have no friends. Arrgh... the man is pathetic...
Want to annoy a Sergeant? Tell them that it is their soldiers who hold most of the power and the majority will lose their freaking minds… Here is why. The army has mounds of information and advice regarding leadership and the application of leadership theory. A great deal of this is badly written, overwrought, or simply outdated but there are a few keepers amidst the hogwash. One of the things that always stuck with was ...
As you may have gleaned from my earlier articles I am a Sergeant in the U.S. Army. I have been on active duty for going on 13 years and have nearly a decade of that spent as a Non-Commisioned Officer (NCO). When I joined the Army in 1992 the military was in a period of heavy transition from the Reagan/Bush years and the drawdown into the Clinton/Post Desert Storm years. During this timeframe the cultural changes in the Army were nothing l...
