Title: US Army prepares for zombie apocalypse
Post by: Ed W on June 23, 2011, 05:09:15 PM
I know, I know.  We're all too wrapped up in politics, the economy, and endless debates about the wars.  But it's time to focus, people!  It's time to put some thought into one very real threat we face, a threat of world wide annihilation from the zombie menace.

At least the Army is preparing to counter those ravenous zombie hordes.  Are you?

And there's this too.  How many of these movies have you seen?

Your son just left for Basic, correct? There's his career right there. As for the movies in the clip, seen several of them--several of the clips were from the first Day of the Dead (1985). I love zombie movies.

Jordan is coming home due to medical problems, Guido.  There's something wrong with one of his retinas.  We won't know how bad or what can be done with it until he's seen an ophthalmologist.

He had 24hr desk duty last night, and a sgt gave him permission to call home...at 3AM.  His paperwork should be in hand tomorrow or Monday.  After that, he's supposed to be home in about a week.

I'm sorry to hear that. He still did himself, you, and the country proud. Well, I guess I'll reenlist and take his place in the zombie army. Red, do you got the time? Who else is with me!!!

I just don't have a military personality.  I stayed out of trouble for 4 yrs active duty (and 2 yrs inactive reserve).  I actually offered to be a sandcrab (civilian) at the Cal Lab at NAS Oceana (Va Beach, VA) but the CWO said "they" really wanted me in uniform.  Half way through my hitch, they offered $10,000 to extend to 6 yrs active duty.  At the end of 4 years, they only offered the homeport coast of my choice.  I politely declined.

I did my time.
