Lol
 

I've got a really nice stereo system for my PC. harman/kardan or whatever, it can really crank 'em out. I've been playing "Ballad of the Green Beret's" with the volume turned almost all the way up all morning. The Kid is marching around the house and Osama Bin Mama is yelling "Stop indoctrinating him, he's not going to El Curso Q!" LOL Yeah right.

GOD I love being a Green Hat, even if I'm not in the official game anymore! I wouldn't trade my life for anything.

That's a pretty funny picture your painting there. :)

Have you heard the new Dolly Parton rendition of it ?!?! It's great !!

Haven't heard Dolly do it.

Commencing Psypopper Ops Day 2 - NOW!

Amature :rolleyes:

Roger, but how hard can it be to annoy the hell out of people until they do what you want to make you leave them alone? LOL

About as hard as convincing SF guys your assigned to support that you are not there to provide a musical score for their ops and might just know the language, customs ect of where you are working and even what end of a gun that the bullets come out of :D

Just play Ride of the Valkries and guard the pallet.:D

Audio-visual Boy :lifter

Or the recently published story where the TPT was left to guard the vehicles with the 18B who couldnt fix his broken 240. Talk about red headed step children. LOL

PSYOP soldiers are issued weapons? The girls too?

TR

Hell they even issue the Reserve Snivil Affairs girls from Kentucky weapons. How soon yall forget.............

Must be the dark color of the headgear, maroon or tan is much cooler to wear in the southern heat :D

"The Ride of the Valkyries" is good for everyone. No indoctrination need take place; it is simply the heavy metal of the 1870's. :)

Psypopper op is enjoying success. He has almost memorized the first two stanzas. Every time I put it on, he runs and gets my beret and starts marching through the house. Driving Osama Bin Mama mad.

AM,
He likes the Dolly version better than the soundtrack from the movie. LOL

Do you have Dolly Partons version on CD or did you d/l it somewhere?

I've been looking to d/l it, but havent found a site yet

mp

I have it electronically thanks to one of my Brothers.

I've got it as a wav file. You want it?

I PMd him.

Now here's the thing NDD......

Have you shown your off-spring a PICTURE of Miss Partton yet ?

LMAO!! I can just picture that boy marching around the house......Lord bless 'em!!:)

Phase II
 

So I'm sitting there talking to The Kid the other day and he asks me all about the song and what SF guys do, etc. And it dawns on me - he's never seen the movie!

amazon.com and BAM! One week later - DVD. So I call him and tell him "We got it!" Friday evening when I get in, two personal-sized Pecan Pies and Big Dog and Little Dog are ready to watch. No chicks in the Team Room. LOL Osama Bin Mama was pissed!

He really got into it and even sang the song at the beginning and the end. He was really hot when they shot down The Duke's helo and knocked him out of the tower and I thought he was going to throw something at the screen when Doc got shot in the back. He was ok when Aldo Ray told Hamchuck Doc was going to be ok. He kept asking me if the reporter was VC and even called the VC "FARC" once. I was laughing my ass off.

Cousins come over - 11 and 13. And wouldn't you know it, the DVD has a Spanish option it as well. LOL

I'm building a junior A Team. :lifter

NDD your killing me man, that is straight up classic.

But as to which version is better, you gotta hear Elvis Hitler sing it punkabilly style. And no I am not kidding.

Personally, I see nothing wrong about starting them young:D

Re: Phase II
 

ROFLMAO, NDD thats a great story. haha, you funny.

We're doing body-weight PT together in the mornings. "Pushing to Power" . I also showed him "Gung Ho!" with Randolph Scott. He liked it, but didn't understand about the color vs. B&W. LOL

We're going to start knot tying class Saturday.

How about some pics? Following OPSEC of course.

Cough cough cough... Ahem.
Nevermind.

Go slowly NDD, this was taken in December 1967.

Then in the early 70s the boy was breaking down M-16s. Of course I would have rather had him doing cut downs and medic stuff, but a weapons guy is okay too.

You're a little short in that picture, sir. Compaired to the size of your daddy in the pic. :D

Just wound up tight. Didn't start to grow until I got to jump all that light weight shit crammed into the rucksack.:D

Jack Moroney

Great pics sir! What is he doing now?

He is a medical services corp major working for the OTSG in medical logistics planning and some other esoteric stuff. He likes to remind me that, until this most recent assignment, at least he was still on jump status and of course I take pleasure in reminding him that I have more time in a harness than he does time in grade. He's a good kid. Unfortunately for him he keeps on running into folks with whom I have served over the years so I sort of know what he is up to before he gets to tell me.:D

Jack Moroney

Outstanding! Must be frustrating for him that your net informs you before he can. LOL

I have warned the lad that SF NCOs are everywhere and it keeps him on his toes. When he graduated from Jump School I was TDY and when it came time for him to get his wings pinned on out of the crowd stepped one of my CSMs to pin them on, I know he was pleased but also spooked at the same time. I sort of joke about it, but I guess once you're a dad you're always a dad and while I would never tell him this, I am glad that I have a way to reach out and influence the situation from time to time when it is warranted. :D

Jack Moroney

Started A&P and knot tying classes this week. Bowline and square.:lifter

Naked Warrior training and psypopper ops continue.

LOL and Osama Bin Mamma's response?

:D

Clandestine training. Enemy probable course of action too dangerous to estimate at this time. Cell will Charlie Mike until discovered. PACE prepared, SAFE selected. OUT!

Roger, out.

Bet The Kid is loving it!
