Shifting with boots on is not fun as this is my dd. especially around base when you have to baby it. The first to second is already interesting, throw in boots and you're in for a long day lmao

Haha, it always feels weird driving with my boots on. On a side note, its even more weird parking next to the commanders ford focus...

It got to a point where I would drive to formation in my shoes, park and put my boots on.

I worked with a young, former Marine and and one day I dropped a piece of candy on the floor..Remembering the Seinfield ten second rule i picked it up and ate it.. He was shocked! I told him that my distant uncle was a Marine who served in WW2 and remembers getting down and drinking out of a mud puddle..

I told him i could only conclude that Marines today are not as tough as they were in my day!!!

Just sayin....

How was the Army Air Core anyway? Haha, we had a cheif that just retired, and we would always give him crap about being in the AF when it was the army!

Hey just curious (not trying to start and argument) why I military for the most part do not tip well at all. I live in Austin tx and bartend/serve at a place that has quite a few people from ft hood that come in. And its pretty widely accepted that you are screwed once you see a military I.d. or credit card.

That change happened in 1943!! That means the guy must be around 90 years old..How can a guy be on active duty in his 80s??

I served 20 years in the USMC. Ive been a busboy, a waiter, a burger flipper, a mortarman a helo pilot and an airline pilot. I tip well, and by the way I live half my life in hotels. I buy every serviceman I see in uniform coffee in the terminal at starbucks, and on the plane I instruct my flight attendants offer them free drinks if they are not in uniform (because that would put them in an awkward spot as it is against regs).

I would no sooner accept a tip from a serviceman than I would allow him to pay for his drink or his coffee or his meal if I could help it.

I say do not accept tips from the people who dedicate their life, and risk their lives to defend your freedom. (and your day job)

these people live on peanuts. I know. I once did too...

The1michael · 04-23-2013, 08:52 PM

I feel like I tip well but I don't make a lot of money in any sense as a guy in the military with 5 years in. Bad tippers everywhere, you just happen to be in a spot where you see many military member
