[QUOTE=SKEEA;37044641]I get that a lot. I even get carded at movie theaters for R rated movies.[/QUOTE] If it makes you feel any better, i've been carded a lot, a few times by an EMT (who the fuck gets carded by an EMT? I do apparently) I also have earned the nick name Doogie Howser at the rehab hospital I work at because of my young appearance. But since i trimmed my hair down a bit, i now get asked what college i attend, and if i am with DCS or just doing observation hours.

It makes me laugh when people say "dude you look like you are 12". It also makes me happy because it means I will look young for a long while. [editline]1st August 2012[/editline] Alright guys, busy day tomorrow. 0700 PT, work call for a couple hours, then at 1200 it is a big get together at a park, and my Stetson break-in. I will definitely post pictures of me breaking it in. It will be hilarious.
wow pics thx
Alright, off to PT. Any questions will be answered promptly when I get back.
pork tits
Back from PT. No work today! An FRG event at the park is my place of duty for the day starting at 1200. Finally going to get my Stetson broken in, and have a good time. I will be available until then, and you can be sure that I am going to take pictures. [editline]2nd August 2012[/editline] Pork tits?
Well, just came back from the FRG thing. No Stetson break in, much to my disappointment. However, there will be one before I deploy, a proper one at that, involving many more alcoholic beverages.
underage dirnking
[QUOTE=W0w00t;37056727]underage dirnking[/QUOTE] I never said for myself, just everyone else. All I would see is whatever liquid/food is on hand in my Stetson. I wouldn't control what goes in it.
..food hat full of powerade and coke w/ chunks of hamburgers in it

[QUOTE=ScoutKing;37059283]Oh quit being a pansy and have some alcohol. Seeing as you will be deployed soon, do you feel that our involvement in Afghanistan is justified?[/QUOTE] Not being a pansy, I just don't want to publicly acknowledge underage drinking on an online forum. I mean, I may or may not have gotten completely drop dead wasted last weekend drinking Jack Daniels, and I may or may not have the previous weekend to that drank half a bottle of vodka and 20 minutes later forgotten how to move, speak, and breathe. Anyways, I don't know if it was justified or not, but we are doing our best to help their people while we are there. The problem is that they see troops as big bags of money and exploit the hell out of us and building contracts and whatnot. It is time to go, they cannot offer us anything, and they don't want us there. It is time to leave, which we are doing, albeit slowly. [editline]2nd August 2012[/editline] Sorry about that, I was so tired that I fell asleep with my head on my computer desk for several hours. I am actually going to get off for the night, and answer questions in the morning, as I have a 3-day weekend. See you in the morning Facepunch.

Given the fact that apparently any kind of food/liquid can be used in a Stetson break-in,I'm sorta surprised that it can still be worn well afterwards.

That, and here is a little Cav secret. Some of us have two Stetsons: One being the one we broke in and wear a ton and put a lot of pins on it, usually a cheaper Stetson (not an actual Stetson hat co. Stetson), and an actual Stetson Hat Company Stetson that is really nicely shaped and clean to wear at more formal or slightly less rowdy Cav functions.
Do you get shit for being a brony?
[QUOTE=doctordarken;37063563]Do you get shit for being a brony?[/QUOTE] None of my troop know that I am one because I don't ever bring it up. If asked directly, I would tell them, but no one else in my troop really knows what a "brony" is, except for this one specialist, but no one has asked, and there is too much work to be done to distract them with me trying to explain what a brony is or what the show is about. To be honest, I would find that annoying. [editline]3rd August 2012[/editline] Ok guys, I need to get some sleep. I will answer questions posted when I wake up.
gather round squad, im going to tell all of you about ponies :)
[QUOTE=W0w00t;37063975]gather round squad, im going to tell all of you about ponies :)[/QUOTE] Heh, I can't do that as I am not a squad leader. I can only imagine how that exchange would work out.

[QUOTE=ScoutKing;37069964]Well you should or should not take that hat and should or should not pile a shit ton of alcohol in it and you should or should not consume it.[/QUOTE] Like I said I cannot confirm nor deny that copious amounts of alcohol will be poured into my Stetson during the break in.
Ok guys, going to bed now. I am available for all of tomorrow, so keep the questions coming!
Back from a long weekend. Interval runs for PT tomorrow, ugh. Oh well, such is life in the Army.
By the way guys, I will be getting off work extremely early for the next two weeks, so feel free to bury me in a deluge of questions, I wont mind.
Will you be given grenades to use when you are deployed?
[B]save one for yourself[/B]
[QUOTE=_Vendetta_;37118433]Will you be given grenades to use when you are deployed?[/QUOTE] No. I will probably not even get ammo, or at least very little. They reserve the grenades for the infantry. If the shit hits the fan though, we will go to the armsroom really quickly and pull everything we need then.
