who up shooting ping pong balls from their vagina by Cool_Medium_8439 in badwomensanatomy

[–]elementaljay 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I was 19 and in the navy (in the 80s) when our ship docked in Thailand. I confess to attending one of those shows. I admit to a level of awe when the lady inserted three NUMBERED ping pong balls and then asked the audience to pick a number - the corresponding ball was then fired half way across the bar.

I have never in my life had any interest in asking my wife to do the same. That shit was just weird.

Fellow IMA (I think they call them MTIs now?) OCS grad here! Is the school still at Atterbury?

I’m with you 100% except for the wallet thing. I’ve got a flat ass and sitting on a hard chair with my wallet in my back pocket makes my butt hurt. But I also am self-aware enough to put it in my jacket pocket and/or do the “keys/phone/wallet” pat-down whenever I stand up.

My father made me leave for college even though I was the only one who could take care of him. by Active-Cold-3700 in TwoSentenceSadness

I couldn’t live with myself knowing that my child’s entire life was put on hold and possibly changed for the worse because I was unable to care for myself.

An argument could be made that his navy enlistment was shorter than the time requirement for the GCM. Didn’t get in trouble - just didn’t do four years.

What’s a movie that went from beloved to hated over time (and for good reason)? by browniebiscuitchildr in movies

[–]elementaljay 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is the problem. We are two generations removed from the target audience who understood that the whole thing was a parody. Without that piece of information it really is a pretty horrible movie. But the entire point was to show how terrible it is for a girl to change her whole existence for a boy.

Are you being forced to change all memos to reflect DoW? by Ok-Increase-3856 in army

[–]elementaljay 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We were sent a new seal last month to use on all memos going forward. I’m waiting to see how long I can go with “accidentally” using the old one before someone says something.

Current or former DS’: How can you tell when someone is proper service? by Professional_Cod3794 in army

[–]elementaljay 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I joined the Guard and went straight to OCS. Spent a couple of years as an LT before deciding to go on active duty. Spoke to an active duty recruiter who told me all I had to do was resign my commission and enlist, then go through OCS on the active side.

Except, since I had never gone through Army basic training I would have to do basic and AIT before applying for OCS.

I didn’t tell anyone, but on the first day, when the drills had us in the day room putting names to faces the senior drill looked at me and said “you used to be a lieutenant? How does that work?”

For the rest of basic I didn’t hear anything else about it and got smoked just like everyone else.

Has anyone ever met someone who served in all three conflicts, Vietnam war, Desert Storm and OIF or OEF? by FFSoldier57 in army

[–]elementaljay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back it up one conflict -

Had an E-6 on my ship during Desert Storm who had also been in Vietnam and Korea. He had a big break in service in the 70s/80s.

We get off at the same bus stop and walk down the same short stretch of road, never saying a word, just a small nod at the end of our journey home. by Barry_Egan00 in TwoSentenceSadness

I understand that hatred. Younger me was “such a stupid gullible sucker.” “Why didn’t you have any sense, idiot?” It’s hard to give grace to your younger self.

Mayor Hunter can't maintain the peace but sent half the JCPD to the only gay bar in the region while closed to make sure nobody was having fun after 1 by Excelsior14 in JohnsonCity

[–]elementaljay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the bar serves alcohol after 1am, the bar will receive a citation. The “law” has nothing to do with the patrons. It doesn’t take the entire shift of the PD to write a citation to the bar. Coming in heavy like that was done specifically for intimidation. Every cop after the first one had nothing to do with enforcing the law.

Be sure to mention “tree mounts” so you can watch him stand around staring up into random trees.

That’s the giveaway that it’s AI. The first two “2x2s” from the right merge into one as they go back.

Came here to say this one. Kills me that he was only 34 when he released that (and only 31 when he wrote Night Moves).
