You should go green to blue and join the Air Force. Our career fields (usually) carry over better to the civilian world, plus our (usually) more laid-back culture would make the transition easier. Also, our jets are freaking awesome!

3 times deployed means Average 7 explosions a year

3+ save (7 out of 21 hits cause a wound I added the N in several for effect)

0 wounds took you out... (Feel No Pain)

Nurgle...?

I figured it would be cool to make an Army based off that.

Yah, it's called "Death Gaurd"

Kidding aside, welcome to Dakka! Fellow DoD Drone (Blue as the great lord Tzeentch) here saluting with full respects.

Can't wait to see how the BlackJacks turn out.

I'm willing to bet they will be great! (Corny I know)

It's an awesome idea to base the army backstory off of some of your own!

You're a G-D American Jedi!!! Yeah

you guys make me sound better than i am lol, i really appreciate it lol you guys give me a great reason to smile after a long ass day off work! lol and yes Daemon-Archon
I love the breakdown haha im a nurgle deathguard!! love it!!

I was considering it, but im not sure if i could handle the more relaxed atmosphere, i hate working with women because they always want fair treatment but when it comes to real work they want to be treated different and they always use their looks (ad such) to get ahead. Mostly i just couldn't see myself in the airforce because i need to be that guy on the ground waist deep in the gak to feel like im doing something. I have a very bizarre way of looking at things but i always have a gak eating grin on my face in a firefight....after I'm done pooping myself of course lol

And yes i love your jets, but have you seen our A-10 warthogs in action?? Screamin' by with a 25mm chain-gun? they always give me butterflies! lol

The A-10 Warthogs (Thunderbolt 2) are all Air Force man. Any time you get CAS, its courtesy of us

well thank you, you saved my ass in Afghanistan with gun run from that bad boy, and your harrier bombed my Humvee after we took all the stuff out and couldn't get it out of a mine feild! haha but it was our Chinook that brought our wounded out and dropped off the British engineers to get us out of the minefield so i could get to the medic and get the shrapnel out of my arm and face!! lol so there!! lol

All in one day!

I seen one that was the size of a small dog, is this true??

twenty second time lucky hey chaps? BABAHBAHBAHBAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAH

No dark light, the biggest they will get really is about the size of a large mans hand, about 7 inches long or so, which is still rediculously huge and scary as hell if they sneak up on you somehwere, but no they dont get as big as some of the photo shopped pictures on the inter net show. thank god

That is why I can't wait to get out of TRADOC and back the real army. I'm a medic and I would rather be out there in the trucks (even if they are in a minefield). You don't need to wait for the bird if you got a medic right there with you.

Welcome! I love your Dread.
And your SM killing an Orc is nice, too.

Do you know my dreadnought-conversion? There is also a little Orc the victim!

Okay well the Harrier wasn't us, those are used by the Navy and Marines (and the Brits) And glad you got out of there okay, man. My buddy's goin over later this year, and once I finally get my f ing CDCs out of the way I'll probably be right behind him. What RC were your in?

Glad you enjoyed the joke (was kinda worried you might be offended, what being a SM player and all ;P ) also, if you ever end up stationed in the DC area def send me a PM and I'd be happy to tell you of the many gaming groups we have (including the personal one I play with, we have a decent number of SM players, ~40% but we could always use another, especially one who plays a less orthodox list... so sick of 'Hammer Bros' ((TH/SS Termies)) )
