The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

Back atcha.

Ah, I think I understand. This is a continuing simulation of rolling on the Wandering Topic Table....

It's a totally random conversation. We just talk about what ever comes to mind. If it catches then we talk about it for awhile. I hope you didn't try to read all the pages. That could take a long time.

Not to mention pointless.

As is the point of the thread, anyway.

When I was in Baghdad I was carrying both my M-9 (Pistol) and my M-16 (Rifle). I was also always wearing my body armor at all times. Contrary to popular belief that is very rare for those Air Force personnel not normally assigned to security duties. The Tower in Baghdad was civillian controlled by the locals and were were not in a "Safe Zone" while working so we had to be "Strapped".

I had thought that women weren't allowed in combat? Has that changed, or is there a difference between a combat zone and a non-"Safe Zone?"

 

[The_Warlock]

That is indeed a compliment.

Well, that's what I was aiming for, so at least I'm speaking (typing) the right language.

I way was way off. Ma'am I salute you for serving your country. I'm glad you made it home safely. Is there a chance of going back?

Always a chance but Nothing scheduled right now. I went in 2004 but had to come back because of a severe (non-combat) injury. I volunteered to go back in 2005 but haven't been able to go back since.

 

[Heckler]

That, actually, would probably be Galeros.

That would be rolling on the non-sequiters table.

Yours or the baby's?

My dear. Aurora doesn't wear diapers. She's lazy but not that lazy.

Just avoid the Hobgoblin. Unless you translate it immediately afterward.

Mind if I ask what the injury was?

We arent allowed in "Combat Jobs" Special forces, etc.. I can (and have) served in a "combat" zone as well as a "non-safe" zone. One of the Air Forces new policies is "Every Airman a Soldier" so all of our roles are expanding. Personally I am every bit as capable as any man I work with. My size gives me a physical advantage over almost all other women and most men and I use that to my advantage whenever I can.
