Question: Where was the "lurking" and where was the "quietly?"

Thankfully, we are not speaking about a former Lt. Colonel anymore.

People join the military for all kinds of reasons. There are many "buckets" but I suspect that "killing people" is a pretty small one. "Building a resume" could be an even smaller one.
 
“I wanted to be the first kid on my block with a confirmed kill”

I do wonder now and then how well the officers understood their enlisted people.

Civilians don't "get" military folks. Big surprise. :)

I am not sure military people always get military people.

The people I served with in combat were killers. And they were not reluctant killers. I can’t think of anyone that would want to do that job just to get shot “at”.

On a happier note, I’m out with Buster wearing shorts and flip flops. Bama game at 3:30. And wife has something to keep her busy for four hours.

Kids are buried in their online games, with friends.

Infinitely better half is watching some random British murder mystery marathon in the living room.

I have a case of Vienna lager, 3 different bourbons to pick from, and a wide-open schedule for both games this afternoon/evening.

This, my friends, is the promised land.

Exactement!

Sapeur. Sapper in English. One of a number of widely used French military terms.

Mrs cb7893's uncle was a Saper in the Polish Army. His job was disarming unexploded German bombs in London during the Blitz. Not sure how that looked on his resume when he went to work for Phillips.

We just got back from a bikeride on a trail through a Florida salt marsh. Saw 6 gators plus dozens of turtles and many large birds

Now to the Hot Tub!

Yes on a lighter note.

Did he smoke them in the class room?

I had a prof for Russian history, my one and only fully out communist prof, he made sure we understood he was a commie in his introduction, and he was smoking as the class started and he smoked virtually every single moment of that 50 min class for weeks on end .

I was mesmerized as to how someone could never come up for air even once.

Commie or not my A proved what a fine teacher he was :)

Yes. In the classroom. Different times.

We went on a bike ride this morning too and saw a bunch of deer, some osprey, eagles, and seal (not the Navy kind.) A bunch of people up here were looking at a Wood Stork too which is supposed to be in Florida from what I am told.
