You've been operating too long when...

[Capt (Ret) Kardnal]

When you fill in for an operation and start hearing chatter about a CSO being kidnapped, and instead of thinking "Oh shit", the first words to come out of you are "Not again" or "Glad it wasnt me this time"

[HMC (FMF) Rivera]

when You get to someone who has been gun down and there whole body is red, in stead of saying “oh shit not again” you say “ you probably deserved it” 

[Capt (Ret) Wauben]

When you look at these posts and Laugh about something that happened 5 years ago.

Can relate. We use handheld radios at my job. The oldest tech here is a Vietnam veteran. He and I use military prowords all the time. We're considering implementing callsigns.

 

I blame ArmA.

My guy... E-4 IRL... O-4 here. I wish I could swap.

When you know exactly what will trigger @LTC Brueske.

You know it's been too long when your ribbon rack looks equal to that of a GySgt IRL.

Weird flex but ok

[GySgt Cole]

When you wake up early, don't have work, and really hope @SSgt McCelvy happens to be on TS to bullshit with you

[SSgt (Ret) McCelvy]

... you can't go to Taco Bell and not think about @Maj LaPrade and get a Baja Blast Mountain Dew !  I like mine with a little bit of pink lemonade.

@GySgt Specter @SSgt McCelvy When the meme is just too good to not continue.

[Capt Hart]

When this forgotten, but once entertaining, thread only gets used by people posting about their taco bell drinks

 

[Capt Hart]

When you go from 2500 unread emails to 76 just by deleting everything from "3d Marine Raider Battalion Realism Unit" "13th MEU (SOC) Realism Unit" and "506th IR Realism Unit"

[GySgt Cole]

When you try to find an interesting place on a vanilla map to have a mission that you haven't used before - and can't.

When you've been semi-retired since February 2017, Battalion level command was decommissioned who knows how long ago and you just got back from a 7 month world cruise 3 days ago, but you're still CMDCM...

[Maj (Ret) Ray]

When you see a news headline and immediately think it happened during a milsim op:

 

 

[LtCol (Ret) Makowski]

When... you go to a friends wedding whom you met in the unit.

 

@1stSgt Parker and myself.

[Cpl (Ret) Brickus]

...when the first thing you do after being discharged from military service, is to check the milsim you used to play in, if any of your old buds are still around.

 

I am glad so many of you bastards are still around, but how the hell did Specter make GySgt and LaPrade Major?! That's some scary s*** in really weird and funny way. 😘
