Subject: Military Rules for the Non-Military Personnel
Dear Civilians,
We know that the current state of affairs in our great nation have many civilians up in arms and excited to join the military. For those of you who can't join, you can still lend a hand. Here are a few of the areas we would like your assistance with:
1.The next time you see an adult talking (or wearing a hat) during the playing of the National Anthem ... kick their @$$.
2.When you witness firsthand someone burning the American Flag in protest... kick their @$$.
3.Regardless of the rank they held while they served, pay the highest amount of respect to all veterans. If you see anyone doing otherwise, quietly pull them aside and explain how these Veterans fought for the very freedom they bask in every second. Enlighten them on the many sacrifices these Veterans made to make this Nation great. Then hold them down while a Disabled Veteran kicks their @$$.
4.(GUYS) If you were never in the military, DO NOT pretend that you were. Wearing battle dress uniforms (BDU's), telling others that you used to be "Special Forces," and collecting GI Joe memorabilia, might have been okay if you were still seven. Now, it will only make you look stupid and get your @$$ kicked.
5.Next time you come across an Air Force member, do not ask them, "Do you fly a jet?" Not everyone in the Air Force is a pilot. Such ignorance deserves an @$$ kicking (children are exempt).
6.If you witness someone calling the U.S. Coast Guard non military, inform them of their mistake...and kick their @$$.
7.Roseanne Barr's singing of the National Anthem is not a blooper...it was a disgrace and disrespectful. Laugh, and sooner or later your @$$ will be kicked.
8.Next time Old Glory (U.S. flag) prances by during a parade, get on your damn feet and pay homage to her by placing your hand over your heart. Quietly thank the military member or veteran lucky enough to be carrying her...of course, failure to do either of those could earn you a severe @$$ kicking.
9.What Jane Fonda did during the Vietnam War makes her the enemy. The proper word to describe her is "traitor." Just mention her nomination for "Woman of the Year" and get your @$$ kicked.
10.Don't try to discuss politics with a military member or a veteran. We are Americans and we all bleed the same regardless of our party affiliation. Our Chain of Command, is to include our commander in Chief. The President (for those who didn't know) is our CIC regardless of political party. We have no inside track on what happens inside those big important buildings where all those representatives" meet. All we know is that when those civilian representatives screw up the situation, they call upon the military to go straighten it out. The military member might direct you to Oliver North. (I can see him kicking your @$$ already.)
11."Your mama wears combat boots" never made sense to me ... stop saying it! If she did, she would most likely be a vet and probably kick your @$$!
12.Bin Laden and the Taliban are not communists, so stop saying "Let's go kill those Commie's!!!" And stop asking us where he is!!!! Crystal balls are not standard issue in the military. That reminds me ... if you see anyone calling those damn psychic phone numbers; let me know, so I can go kick their @$$.
13.Flyboy (Air Force), Jar Head (Marines), Grunt (Army), Squid (Navy) etc, are terms of endearment we use describing each other. Unless you are a service member or vet, you have not earned the right to use them. Could get your @$$ kicked.
14.Last but not least, whether or not you become a member of the military, support our troops and their families. Every Thanksgiving and religious holiday that you enjoy with family and friends please remember that there are, literally, thousands of sailors and troops far from home wishing they could be with their families. Thank God for our military and the sacrifices they make every day. Without them, our country would get its @$$ kicked
The next time you see a Politician, using the military. (who NEVER served)
As a stage prop, at a speech!
Kick their @$$!

If I had a nickle for everytime Iv'e heard #5, I'd have a nice new shiny expensive gun. There is usually a look of confusion and dissapointment when you break the news that your not a zipper leg.
#13, Army personnel are proudly known as dogface, or doggie. Grunt is a subset of doggie. Musta been a jarhead that wrote that. If it was done in crayon, we could be sure!

So let me know when you are going to give Al Gore and John Kerry a hardy salute.

#4 I had a punk in a bar wearing a Vietnam Campaign ribbon on his field jacket. I asked him if he or his Dad had served in Vietnam. He said that he served 13 months in the 172nd. And he elbowed me and said that us jarheads needed to stick together. I lured him outside and beat him up a little and took the ribbon. I told him if I saw him dishonoring our Vets again, i'd rip his arm off next !! I still look for him.

AF- Flyboy, airedale, bluebelly, planejockie, zipperleg (they have a zipper everywhere else).
Marines- leatherneck, jarhead, sandy pockets, fodder on the beach, beach lice
Navy- swabbies, semen, deckies, squid, fish-heads
Coast Guard- pierguards, puddle cruisers, cruiseships, trolling bait, rowboats, safewater sailors
These I have known, and used. Uttered in contempt, but in honor as well for all who served. After all, these are my Brothers in Arms !! (Even though a dozen of them ain't worth a single Grunt !!)
11 Bolo was the knickname for the Pyle of the company

i dont even wanna begin to count how many times my mom got a call from a friend of hers in virginia asking if i knew about anything going on in the pentagon
During my career I served with, trained, or trained with every member of the 5 Uniformed Armed Services, I was proud to do so. And I did in fact use everyone of those terms to describe my fellow servicemen/women, but I always had a smile on my face and a handshake for them. Actually the Army does have some ships of their very own.... When they break em they call the Navy to see what switch or valve they forgot to open or close LOL (J/K) To all our veterans everywhere, and those serving today with Honor in or out of harms way God Bless and Keep You!

Also, gravel crunchers.
And, the crossed rifle insignia of the Army infantry is sometimes known as the idiot sticks. But you Air Farce guys be careful with that one!
