My Brothers In Arms

[Lucrum]

Quote from RCG Trader:

To put this to rest. We were on our way to Kuwait, to set up there. We got as far as Spain, and then we were called back. No reason. Didn't matter.

Later, I was told that our hospital was one of the largest of it's kind, and that it would have looked bad to deploy us. As there was already one MASH already there, and Bush wanted to save face.

Also, the way it works in the medical MOS is that those who are on active duty rotate to the theatre. Those who are in reserve status rotate to fill the spot in the hospital or nursing home where the active guy left.

I was two years active from 1999-2001. Then went reserve status. I still had my gear in my closet when 911 happened. I went numb on that day, checked my gear, sat down and waited for the phone call or the knock. It never came.

Bravo, for actually answering a question for a change.
You have, in effect, even admitted your prior embellishments.

Lucrum talks about his nephews, but he never talks about HIM. What the hell did YOU do Lucrum, other than talk shit on P&R,

You forgot to mention my son who has been to Iraq twice and is currently In Afghanistan. In any case now you're just ranting I assume because you're pissed I called you out. And I HAVE talked about myself. I registered for the draft, as required then, the day or so after I turned 18. I spoke with a recruiter about the time I graduated HS. However I didn't care for the idea of peace time service, I wanted to fight. (In fact I was genuinely disappointed Vietnam had ended before I was old enough to join.) There were no wars on the horizon and in hind sight wouldn't be another real fight for 11 more years. If I was going to tolerate low pay and all the military crap, I at least wanted to get some trigger time.

like I said, YOU are a chickenhawk. And YOU will prolly be one of the first to tuck tail and run when the shit hits the fan.

Just more of your irrational unsubstantiated emotional BS.

And, as my fellow brothers have stated, I was eligible for the call.

You never bother sign up. You wanted trigger time, lol.

The Marines would have given you all the trigger time you needed.

I was eligible to be drafted at one time too. I would have never considered that having my "ass on the line" though.

I can go to a shooting range anytime. That's not the kind of trigger time I had in mind.

...there are no bedpans involved unless you are a CNA.

Lets see, you lied about RN's not doing bed pans.
You lied about RN's not giving enemas.
You lied about taking flying lessons.
You lied about lying about flying lessons.


I'd say you're a certified pathological liar.

I'd say you are stupid stupid boy.

There are too many disciplines in nursing to count, and they all have differing views and methods. This is one nurses opinion, and in your redneck mind you post it?

How immature can you get?

Aren't RN's just a notch above Candy Striper? I think it is LPN's that are real nurses.

I guess RCG could be what doctors call the "head" nurse.
