What would Airborne Jesus do these young troopers today enlisting to be Human Resources.

[Duncanpup]

That’s right people 42A MOS who knew it was even a thing. This fine young man stopped around to say goodbye to his two BFF’s our boys and to talk to me asking me questions , you will be fine I told him over dinner we’ll refer to it as chow now soldier and learn to eat real fast and to add hot sauce to everything including the pudding.

Now I ask all of the former 11 infantry series and combat MOS losers and suckers why choose a MOS that you could actually use in the civilian world geez so over chow I asked did you get airborne option he replied laughing no I’m not nuts.

I almost lost it on him thinking give me that bbq chicken left on your plate future REMF yet I didn’t because I asked myself what would Airborne Jesus do in a moment as this. For those of you who didn’t know that’s right Jesus loves the Airborne especially the Airborne infantry. Yes A MOS that as a young man you can work on affirming your alcoholism for later in life.

We’re Gods Airborne infantry why we even have our own patron Saint the Archangel Michael do REMFS have a patron saint I seriously doubt it they’re kind of like our heathens brethren Tankers don’t even get me started on those godless red legs the artillery. Why as Airborne infantry we walk around in garrison with our maroon berets sporting our unit flash covering half of our face and possibly the right eye ball if you get it right. Why were studs racehorses serving our nation in a combat MOS that only teaches you the skills of janitorial arts when you’re in garrison mode.

No brag yet the arcom I received serving in 2/325PIR yes I was a animal on the crew served floor buffer. So in closing I hugged this fine young future trooper then told him will see you in a couple months young man Good luck.

1. The patron saint of REMFs is Bacchus.

This young draftee was pulled from his infantry (11B) AIT, with half a dozen others, and transferred to Personnel Specialist (71H) class, mostly because we raised our hands at morning formation when the sergeant asked "who can use a typewriter?".

Nobody ever suggested to a draftee that jumping out of airplanes might be a good idea. Not when you have perfectly good feet so you can use to run everywhere.

I never figured out whether that fateful transfer was a good thing or not. But the Army sent me to a place where I could sample many good German beers, and I never tasted the beers of Vietnam.

Cheers. And, hail Bacchus.

10. Only the smart ones pick that MOS

(That’s an inside joke between the TEB)

They don’t have to be a wire dummy. That’s the new private who goes and jumps and lays on the Concertina wire . While his teammates run across his back.
