So my wife, daughter and I went to Steak N Shake today. As we are waiting to order she comments about a kid sitting behind me wearing an Army uniform. I can't really see him too well she tries to explain what looks wrong with him. Maybe he hasn't been to basic training? On leave from basic? She knows something isn't right about it, he's too ate up and even she can tell that. Finally he walks past me. Probably in high school, tall scrawny kid. Wearing an ACU uniform with no name tape or rank but had the Velcro for them, US Army tape sewn on, incorrect American flag patch on the wrong shoulder sewn on not velcro, infrared square covers hanging down (not covering the squares or hidden underneath the pocket), boot laces hanging out, wearing a pistol belt with two canteens on it. I was in shock. My brain couldn't comprehend what my eyes were seeing. He went to the bathroom and I followed him in because I wanted to confront him without making a scene. Had this been an adult I wouldn't have cared about making a scene. Anyways, I asked him what was up with the army uniform. He says, kind of smuggly I might add, that he's a military collector. I told him that's cool but I request him to no longer wear his uniforms in public, that he was wearing it completely wrong and it looked extremely bad. I explained that someone who may not realize he wasn't actually in the army could see him and how bad it was. That it brings discredit to the army to portray soldiers in that sort of way. He got scared quick and couldn't say anything, just kind of dropped his jaw and gasped. I reiterated that collecting was a cool hobby, but leave it at home. I them walked out without him being able to say another word . I kind of wondered if he was the sort to wear the uniform to try and get free stuff from places but I don't know for sure. I do think I scared him enough that hopefully he doesn't do it again. He sat with an older guy, dad maybe, and my wife says he told him what happened. He kept looking over at me but would only see my wife watching him before he darted his eyes away. They didn't stay much longer before they got a box for a little food and left. Just my little story for the day.4 points

The guys that look like clueless duffel bags are funny. Hopefully he was just envious, and not really trying to impersonate or scam. Although, if someone is a "collector", you would think they would get more details right I think the "militia" guys are worse. They truly act like they are enlisted/commissioned(getting small details wrong). One of the new Doomsday Preppers episodes filmed in CA shows exactly what I am talking about.2 points

That's part of what we are negotiating about. I make no promises to that at this time. Not that I don't want to, but that could be a big chuck of change that could come out of my pocket for something I had nothing to do with.2 points

You gotta appease the masses, and Z is still more than likely going to prison for a long time. Pretty fucked up to get hit with a lesser charge, especially when it isn't gonna keep you out of prison "and 30 years at that"!!!!! He is gonna beat the actual charge, but lets charge him with something so there won't be riots. PATHETIC He could still get off scott free, but I just don;t see that happening now. Oh and the Black Panthers should be taken out by some of our Special Forces folks, would be a great practice drill for them.2 points

I'm gonna try and make this. Not sure yet, because the kids are with their mom this weekend and I have two dogs with explosive diarrhea. If the poop spray settles down tonight, I'm in. I'd have to peel off early though. I don't think I can make the full loop without coming back home to a shit-storm or a poo-nami.1 point

In that aspect, you are correct. However, if they are jaded due to their salary, then they need to leave the gov. Serving for the DoD and our service members is supposed to be just that... Support for the Americans serving in our military. The issue is, some forget that and think they are owed more because of the work they do. If that was the case, trash men would be some of the highest paid persons due to the importance/nature of their job. Yes, we haven't had a pay raise for over 3 years and are now being furloughed... Honestly, I am looking for an additional job to alleviate some of the furlough burden. I do wish the American populous would have more inside into the sequestration but... National media has a way of not showing the important things and centering on crap that doesn't matter. There are people out there (a lot working for DFAS) that are GS-5's making less then 35K that now are losing 20% of their pay. You don't hear crap about that on the news... The DSCC in Whitehall has around 30-40 thousand people working there... Most are subject to this...1 point

Meh, seems like there is less that interests me on here nowadays, and the waves of drama annoy me. With working third shift, having Tuesday, Wednesday off, I can't get out on rides and when I can post online , everyone is asleep. Life's been hectic but been spending a lot of time with my wife and daughter so it's all good. I still browse almost daily just don't have much to post.1 point
