Over at a wife's friend's place.....I can now go happily to the big DZ RV in the sky at anytime.

Nice.....

Just habit, I guess.

When you read out license plates, serial numbers, etc, in phonetic alphabet to pass the time.

....Even when alone....and reporting into your Tim's cup as a MIC.
"TIM 0...THIS IS TIM 1...CHECK ON charleskilosierrasixsixniner.....OVER?"
"TIM 0, do you copy?"
Sad but true.

I find the pills help.

Don't knock it!  That's how I learned the phonetic alphabet (during a summer job as the groundskeeper at a hotel, late in the last millennium).

Over at a wife's friend's place. They have a long, raised front porch, probably 3 feet off the ground. Inside with a beer while my 2 kids are outside playing with her kid. All three kids are running down the deck, leaping off the end and screaming 'AIRRRRRBORRRRNNNEEE!!!!!'. First born male child is drawing what appears to be an imaginary circle of some kind on the front of his shirt, with his index finger, each time before he leaps off - must be his personal airborne insignia or something. The women start fussing and tell me to do something about it all. I go out, they stop, look at me and I say 'remember kids, feet and knees together' and I go back inside.

I realize that my work here is done and I can now go happily to the big DZ RV in the sky at anytime.

Haha I still get bugged by my family for the fact that I used to do pretty much exactly that off of the back porch when I was a kid. Except I used a toy parachute from a big toy parchuting batman..... now the back porch is decidedly higher.  ;D

Well then I'm special with a capitol 7! I memorized the phonetic alphabet from the back page of the "Short Timers" long before I signed up. Got a couple of weird looks from my teachers when I occasionally spelled things out in class.

I'm not knocking it at all! That's exactly how I learned it too! But years later, knowing it back to front, the fact that I still do it constantly in my head worries me a bit.

Nothing to worry about -- you have to keep in practice!

Funny how the phonetic starts with a P in respect to the phonetic alphabet .

I was sleeping soundly one night.
Some thing awoken'd me.
Realalising it was a sound of some kind
of combat action I immediately jumped
into the nearest combat fatigue's i had,,,
sweat-pant's and sneaker's. I approched
the kitchten window and looked out.
Observed a shiny object zing across the
road. Being trained in the stealthy type
combat stuff I exited the front (squeaky)
door. Standing on my front step's I located
shiny object. A tin can? Being a windy night I
figuire'd the wind russling through the recycle
area was the result of zingy object blowin
across road. I approached shiny object fig-
juring I would re-recycle it. Out streak's a
cat,,,bat's shiny object (tin can) down the
road. Well that cracked me right up. Here I
was standing in the middle of the road cracking
up then realised-Gee someone else might-a
heard this sh@@. So I exited the area realising
I dont have to do this S@@@ any more. Must a
been the PTSD,,,Luckily for that cat I didnt have
something to lock n load. My luck I probably would
of shot myself in the foot. Man that was a strange
night. And you know what. Stupid cat and that tin
can are still out there somewhere. The reason I
posted this,,,I dont know. Thought I'd run a goofy
real story case ya got bored.  anyway I'm still up
so I thought I'd spit shine my white sneaker's.
Cheer's and dont wait up,,,,

Now, I just finished crse, so...

While driving with anyone, as the front passenger, you look right, and say, "Clear right!"

Drives the GF nuts.

 

[wildman0101]

A couple year's ago I was giving a gal I know from Belguim
driving instruction's as she wanted a Canadian Driver's
License. Quote
Me: Traffic light coming up,engage left turn signal,check
rear-view mirror, change lane's.
Her: You mean turn left right here.
Me. Yes
Her: she check's rear view(no traffic) Engage's left signal
switch,change's lane's and move's into left lane. All is cool.
HER: Zing's into right lane and make's a right turn, at the light
givig me 3 heart-attack's, 4-fit's of Holy-sh@@.
Me: Why did you just do that???????
Her: Well you told me to lern left/right here so I turned right.
Me: Pull over. Question to HER: Where the F@@@ did you learn
how to drive????????????
Her: England.
Me: Well that answered that question.
Note:Never let a right hand driver drive a left hand car.
Cheer's Scoty

That's funny.  My wife and 23 yr old daughter still do that for me when we are out.  I'll get the 'clear' from my wife then she shouts out 'go go go'. (I sometimes think she just does that to humour me but, it's still funny) Up until now, I thought it was perfectly normal...now I see I must have done a good job on the instructions way back when.  I guess they both think it's normal to say that also.

At our campsite, when we are sitting around the campfire or out kayaking, I'll see something and call out a GRIT.  It's always funny to look back at the rest of them (all civies) and see the wide eyed (wtf are you talking about) look out of them...always cracks me up.

That's because they know you can barely see over the dashboard, let alone out the right window  :nod:

I said that a few pages ago. My daughter tells me not to do that. Wife is good with it.

Sorry, Jim, didn't back check.  :-[

Don't get me started on that... yield is a concept Islanders have yet to learn, let alone yellow lights, one-way traffic, and "Slow Traffic Keep Right".  :facepalm:

Don't sweat it dude. As one very senior officer told me once "90% of all military staff work is plagiarized". It's all good!! ;D
