The China Pearl Inn part 7

Please dont ask where I've been. I'm sure most of our militarily personnel will be understanding if they don't fully understand. I has been a rough few days. And not everything went like a human would want it to. There are smells that a gas mask do not filter but SCBAs do. On the bright side I got to be a ninja in a plastic suit. We did what we do, and we did it to perfection. No one will ever know exactly what we did. It's better that way for everyone even the monster in me. Now it's time for me to seek back into the rafters and reflect a bit. But I am close by if I can be of any assistance.

Good to have you back Raven, we’ve missed you. And although we will never be able to discuss it I think I know why you had to ‘Look Back In Anger”

Hooooooly mother of internet meme's! Robyn, that picture is HUGE!! :rolleyes::eek:

*Clears her throat*

What I mean to say is,

Happy Anniversary to GG & Rick, with love.

OMG! That is disgusting, dirty, immoral and down right scary. ... where do I get one?
 
I have one right here for you, Robyn. it's in my pocket though. You'll have to come and get it yourself ;)
 
Congratulations G G you got a good man there. Rick congratulations you have a good woman there. And may you both be happy and have many years together.

Happy Annivsery
 
Good evening CPI

Today we were allocated six cadets each, 3 girls, 3 boys. Sal’s group and my group share a barrack but. Tomorrow we take them on manoeuvres then give them weapon training. Wednesday we combine the two and take them on war games with emergency tents and rations.

In all this we ourselves are being assessed both by senior staff and on our reports. BOODY REPORTS AGAIN! I know CG & Raven have both done this and SF being a teacher knows all about assessing students.

Bu tonight ... we’re going to the bar to celebrate GG & Rick’s Anniversary.
 
Sounds like a couple of interesting days ahead of you Robyn. So now you are the one in charge of training and evaluations. Being in charge has its own set of problems.;)
 
Sounds like you've really got your work cut out for you, Robyn! I'll be rooting for you. I'm kind of jelly. I want to try this just to see if I could do it.

My reflection is partly due to people making stupid mistakes that others paid to heavy a price for.

I may be at the perfect rank I write very few reports. If we do our job right there is no paper work for me. If I mess up there is a ton of reports but, all I will get is a toe tag.

You wouldn’t get a toe tag on my watch!
 
*Looks up from the bar and realizes that Ive been drinking my gin all alone for some time*

"Wells thas nope funsh! Whosall roundsh? Come ave a dink wid mee!"

Ugggs:rose:
 
Toffee sounds better to me. LOL How about a trade? I will take the toffee and you take the coffee.

With a gallon of each I think we can share.

That way you won't put on 700kg and I won't be awake for 700 hundred nights. :D

Uggg:rose:
 
Well you are stuck with the coffee, I don't drink that stuff. But I will share the toffee. I wonder if it would taste good IN the coffee?
 
I don't hide what my job for the military is. I am a Chemical Weapons Specialist. In the civilian world that is very vague. I am trained in CBRN and I don't add the E because that was a stupid addition. I am BIDS trained and a few other letters and numbers That don't mean much to the military or civilians out there, not until we are needed. The only training I do not have for Chem I will never have, Instructor. I would have to go Warrant first. And I've done enough training without that training.

I like to say if I ever show up to do my job, I will be warning a three pieces sure. That's not completely true but it's funny if you're in my line of work. From the out side it's: Big Bird orange boots, yellow tyvek sure, and big black gloves. You will never get a good look at the SCBA on my back, just the fireman looking mask on my face. There is a world of gear that I might be carrying, shoes don't fit in those boots, and for all you know i could be Regemental/Commando under it. But dead or alive, if I came in for you you will be going out with me. If it's leaking it won't be when I'm done. That is one of my jobs.

For you military types if you got slimey doing your job, I will be there in my best JSlist cleaning you up when you come through my post. Or. You may drive past me on your way to what ever mission you have. I will be sitting in a box on a truck, sniffing the air. I sit there up wind of your post and watch you pass. Me and my partner will be saying a prayer for your safe return. We do so knowing that we will get hit with what ever comes near your post our job is not to avoid it but to warn you when it hits and watch how it moves so we can tell you when it's safe again.

We will never see our enemy no matter what the movies say. If we are the best and we are lucky we will be just fine. If we are just lucky our enemy will kill us quickly. If we are just the best at our job we will suffer for the rest of our lives. There is no perfect cure for most of our enemies. A number of the treatments are just as bad as the enemy it's self. And we do this so you hopefully will never know our enemy. We are honored to be able to do our jobs if we are call. We pray for ourselves, that if we ever do mess up that you will not find us till we start to stink. Because if you find us while we are still kicking, that means our enemy has found you too.

It takes a certain kind of crazy to do my job. The kind even the military brothers and sisters out there may never understand. We are often over looked in our service, and for the most part we are just fine with that. Its better that you don't have to think like us. It is better that you don't have to be a person who can wash dead bodies for twenty four hours with little to no breaks. It is my honor to hold your weapon and gear while you get a shower and shiver more from the mental damage than the cold. I understand you are scared and tired and hungry. My people are here just for you. And behind us are medics waiting to see you, there may be food just a little farther down the line. It's okay that you probably won't think to say thank you to us. We didn't do it for a thank you, we did it for a person. Be it those we swore to protect or our brothers and sisters, you are all welcome in our AO.
"Come over here and sit for a few minutes. We just need to get this guy down the line because he's hurt. No don't get up we got this one. You did your job we need you to get your rest before you go back out and have to do it again. Don't worry we understand he is your battle buddy, he is ours too and will be treated with the utmost respect and care. Why do we do It? Silly question. Because we can, and damn few can say that." But for some of us our last job had the same response to that question.
I have the honor of serving with men in green hats who can't carry that burden any longer. With red, brown hats, even had a trident with us for a few months. And if you know all of those off the top of your head I salute you. If you have ever served with them I say "To us and those like us. Damn few."
