Yut?

Or the guy who shot himself in the hand while driving a car in a busy intersection after leaving Hooters.

Seriously? Did he have to pay to get into the contest?

 

[jtmedli]

Where do we find such men?

Easier answer: lowered recruiting standards.

You haven't been in the military that long, have you? There is plenty of buffoonery to go around in the fleet, you won't be disappointed in the least.

I can honestly say I never had to stop a JO from chasing a black cobra with a piece of plywood and a mop. In a country that had no anti-venom. Two LCPLs, yep I had to. True story.

Never underestimate the ingenuity of 19 year olds....

But...but...they are "street smart"! They know the world way better than you do, college boy!
