    I actually perfer the Reserves over Active Duty. Not like I've spent numerous years on Active, besides training and deployments. But I enjoy what I do, but I wouldn't want to do it every day of the week. I feel like I have a bit more control over my destiny as well. All of my deployments have been strictly volunteer basis so far. I get to pick whatever schools or training I want. Its rare anything I do in my career thats mandatory. Everyone operates more like "friends" basis then the average "rank structured" cohesiveness. I'd rather just go out and do my job, get it over with.....then follow all the unnecessary hoops the active-duty makes you jump thru. Air Guard is not a bad way to go, especially if your looking for specific job/career training, yet wanna stay in the civilian world.

    Foot bread is awesome! I dont know what you guys are talking about. I loved the local cruisine there.
    We were up in the Kwost province for a few months. The locals were on the FOB building up brick-n-mortor huts. They were always cooking up something yummy. I'd go over with some candy bars outta the MRE bags, sit down and hang out.

    Okay... We tell our kids not to eat anything from friends unless we give them permission. Main thought is: You don't know what they were doing with their hands before making THAT... I think that applies twice as much to foods made with people's FEET! You guys are craaaaazy!

    And in an attempt to put this thread back to where it belonged before we hijacked it...:blushing:

    You know when you're a fitness nut when you join a running club in Afghanistan... A place renouned for it's prevalance in LANDMINES...:noway: Person in question... My insane husband...

    My husband went to New Orleans after hurricane Katrina for a few months. He came back just in time for Wilma to tear our lives apart. With him he brought MRE's. He was raised an army brat and was amazed at the 'quality' of the new MRE's.

    A few days into our 3 weeks without electricity, we had an MRE party for my kids and their friends (late teens, early 20s)

    We had a great time and some of them where actually tasty (was gonna say good, but that would be stretching the truth too far:laugh: )

    The point is we had a great time and the condiments have come in handy over the years!

    hahaha, you civilians crack me up. You mean you didn't receive those MRE's and throw them back at the Natl Guardsmen and FEMA in disgust.

    "What the f......?? No Menu #22 Jambalaya??!?!? What an insult."

    Oh Hell no! My DH was thankful for their help. Everywhere he turned there was a big ol humvee like veh. him being an army brat, that made him feel safe.

    The best investment I ever made was teh GPS system.....there WHERE no addresses!!

    You're late for your own wedding, that's right, I NEEDED to get my workout in, which meant I was 22 minutes late for my walk down the aisle, it's pretty bad, when you put the gym ahead of real life.

    you know your a fitness nut when you decide you'll be the Designated Driver because it's easier than trying to figure out how many calories are in mixed drinks (true story).

    My exact quote was "*kitten* It, I'll drive"
