Hi folks I just wanted to wish you all a happy christmas, I know for a lot of us it's not always happy, friends we have lost, it can also be a lonely time for us, even in a crowd. So I hope it's a good day, and if it's not the best, I am thinking of you, whatever nation you served with! 🎄

I'm up in Everett area if you up for a drive my schedule is crazzy working at the commissary though

Looking had out with ABDL vet around Seattle

Still in, 3 years to go

Here in the USA some military members souses are really rude and just a pain to be around sometimes. We call these people dependas. They are usually condescending, dont work, and use their spouses rank to hold a false authority over someone lower ranking than their spouse. Once time before I joined up, I was at Wal-Mart getting groceries when a dependa was being very condescending to the cashier next to me. At the time I was also a military dependent with my husband on deployment over seas. I had finally had enough of her ill behavior when she said "My husband is a staff sergeant and I refuse to be treated this way." I turned around, looked this woman in the eyes and said "Ma'am, this is Wal-Mart. No one here gives a flying **** about your husband's rank. Now be more polite to these people or leave." She was absolutely befuddled that someone would talk to her like that.

I see a few new faces have made it through the camp gates. Welcome to you all.

I will remember

I am so sorry to hear this. To all of you over there RIP Queen mum RIP!!!!!

For those of us that served the Queen, Rest in peace Maam, your duty is done.

I was on guard on the main gate and a chap in civvies drove up. Now if your armed you dont salute. I look at his id, can tell he is army and an officer (different service number). I pass him back his id, say "thank you sir", and raise the barrier. He doesnt move, other cars are pulling up behind. I wait, he waits. I then said "is there a problem sir?" He doesnt look at me but says "dont you salute army officers in the Air Force?" (And this is priceless) I reply "We dont have army officers in the Air Force sir, goodbye" My oppo' is giggling like a school girl on the far side of the car

Welcome to a few more that have staggered into the mess

Still in does that count?

In Thailand they didn't give me a cot so had to sleep on the floor and caught flees. In Mongolia the hotel had a condom vending machine in the entrance and if you didn't lock the door it meant you wanted company from the girl of the night, the bed was made out of sheets from all the previous guest, the water pressure was so weak you had to press your body against the wall to have the water hit you and the power went out daily.

On my ship we slept in canvas racks four high with your whole division. When I became a hospital corpsman I slept in sick bay with two others.

How about the most embarrassing thing that happened to me. I was in the US Navy. I was at a shore base command. We had a training room that we used for breaks and lunch. One day during lunch we were in the lunchroom. eating lunch and watching TV. There was a commercial that came on about a pillow you put between your legs when you sleep. After the commercial was done, I said loud enough for everyone in the room to hear, "How can anybody sleep with something between their legs." as soon as I said it the whole room (about 15 men and women) looked at me. I was red in the face and wishing the I could put the words back in my mouth.

Whats the funniest story you can recall from your time in the forces?

If you had the chance, would you? Do you think it would be the same experience?
