Charley, a new retiree-greeter at Walmart, just couldn't seem to get to work on time. Every day he was 5, 10, 15 minutes late. But he was a good worker, really tidy, clean-shaven, sharp-minded and a real credit to the company obviously demonstrating their "Older Person Friendly" policies.
One day the boss called him into the office for a talk. "Charley, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a bang-up job when you finally get here, but your being late so often is quite bothersome."
"Yes sir, I know, and I am working on it."
"Well good, you are a team player. That's what I like to hear.”
“Yes sir, I understand your concern and I’ll try harder.”
Seeming puzzled, the manager went on to comment, “It's odd though you're coming in late. I know you're retired from the Armed Forces. What did they say to you there if you showed up in the morning so late and so often?"
The old man looked down at the floor and smiled. He chuckled quietly, then said with a grin,
"They usually saluted and said, 'Good morning General, may I get your coffee Sir?'"

What in the actual fuck is going on here? Going on social media, in uniform, and threatening civilians? She needs a rude awakening…..

In my Army, I would anticipate more than a couple of career roadblocks right there for any soldier.

The guy on the fiddle is Donnie Reis. I went to grade school and junior high with him in Fairfield. He was playing the violin as early as 3rd grade I think. I remember him playing in school concerts. Solid dude.

Is that the new "all inclusive" military uniform?

How many of you veterans have kids that serve or have served? I know @"J" has a son that does. He also knows my current struggle with a kid. Thinking about pushing one of my kids this direction. I know it isn't the same as the days we all served either. But I feel like I gotta do something to make them productive members of society.

Highly recommended. It’ll motivate them and focus them on other things than what they’re focusing on now. Sometimes a reset is needed….

Pretty much what I did. I had a talk last year sometime with someone, or maybe on here, about how most veterans weren't this chest thumping hero. We were just people out of options and wanting change. So we made a change. Even if we claimed we did it for the country, deep down it was just something we told ourselves.

I believe everyone should serve when they get out of high school (2-3 year minimum) before going off to college or starting a career. It definitely teaches discipline and routine….also shows people that the world is much bigger than the town they grew up in.

Troof. I think it would be a great reset. I also think it helps find direction.

My son earned an appointment to USAFA, surprised the crap outa me when reviewing his options, and made me proud, that he wanted to go that route.
He stayed in 8 years and then cut all ties..

In the decision process I brought over 3 guys that were Academy Alumni to give him the skinny, all had seen combat, I left them alone with him as this was his decision and only his faith in himself, his basis for going, would get him through 4 miserable years at the Zoo.

For any youngster 36 months serving, get the GI Bill for 36 months. That's a powerful incentive along with others.

My youngest actively wants to join. However my oldest child could use the discipline and focused attention.
