Here is the original topic post:

for those people on RAT who have served in the military or are currently serving, it might be interesting to compare equipment and uniforms.

include: nation(s)
dates of service
branch of service
description or photo of uniform/gear
and as many of the following as possible
-weapon(s)
-Rank
-critique on weapons and gear
-any other interesting information from your time in the service.

In response to Ralph's original post... I'll add my rather unique perspective:

nation(s): United States of America (and, by extension, her freedom-loving allies around the globe)
dates of service: 1983 to the present
branch of service: United States Air Force
description or photo of uniform/gear: The uniforms change too frequently to list... due, some say, to "compensation" afforded to decision-makers by uniform manufacturers...
weapon(s): Chaplains are non-combatants, so, by international law, I don't bear any. In fact, in addition to never receiving any military weaponry training... I don't own any weapons personally either.
Rank: lieutenant colonel
critique on weapons and gear: I find historical weapons (especially ancient and American Civil War vintage) more interesting than the current arsenals of the world
any other interesting information from your time in the service: perhaps in the future...

Sadly, yes, there is bad beer. It all makes you drunk, but the way to get there is more pleasant in some cases. :wink:

Laudes to Robert Stroud for reminding us an ovelooked Army Branch.

I must dissagree with Byron. There are beers out there that you must be drunk to drink them! :evil:

By the way I propose we make a Beer thread in the OFF TOPIC.

Kind regards

What is it you dissagree with me about Stefanos? :?

He's trying to intimidate the French :lol:

And absolutely there's such thing as bad beer...

[hoplite14gr]

Byron I got the impression the you denied the existance of bad beer.
But I now realized that this is not the case. :oops:
Kind regards

Well, i wouldn't know, since all beer tastes like urine to me. Not that I'm a connoisseur of urine.

In fact, I don't drink at all. Doesn't make me much of a Canadian eh? I make up for it in other Canadian things though. 8)
