This Speaks Volumes
 

For Dave

What the heck?!

I have to agree our military is probably not what it once was. However all of them are putting their lives on the line,wherever they are , and have my highest respect. Bill

Its just the army vs air force thing :)

Air Force hands out Expert Marksman ribbons like the Marines hand out Expert badges to officers - by the bucketfull. ;)

According to the AF Reserve, I shot Expert over five times. That gets me a silver star on my Expert ribbon. :rolleyes:

The last time, I shot the M16 left handed and still shot Expert. :roflmao:

Actually both of my daughters shot Expert when they went thru airborne. (One went on to EOD and the other to the Apache.) A son was AF and shot Expert and it helped him a lot during his 3 visits to Afghanistan. My brother-in-law taught them well.

George - I don't know if this was AF or not...but it was headed there... :D

One of my favorite Army vs. Airforce comaraderie stories which I repeated in many NCO clubs during my career on active duty in toasting the AF personnel present.

"The U.S. Air Force is simply a part of the U.S. Army Signal Corps, that we decided we didn't want, ...so in 1947 we got rid of it!"

...Which is a TRUE story! :cheers: :roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:
