Default Say hello to our new Commander in Chief...

by the look of things it is President Select Obama!

At this point, all there is to do is to salute and return to work.

Looks like I'll be out of work soon.

Is anywhere hiring?

Well, I am sure that you will be gainfully employed when our new CIC re directs all of our assets to Afghanistan or to staging areas for the invasion of Pakistan.

Holy crap!! You got five Achievement medals in three years? Either you are a super hero or I am doing something wrong!

I made Corpsman of the Year for the entire branch of service as well as a few other Achievements and only got an Achievement medal as an end of tour award. I feel cheated! LOL (attempt at humor here!).

Well, now the that politicing is over and the wave of disappointment has swept over us, it is now time for to swallow our feelings and do what we are paid to do. This includes publically supporting our Commander in Chief 100%. We did what we could... there is always next time!

Well - hopefully he'll be out by the time I'm able to commission (if the military even finds me medically qualified).

Well, there's nothing for it. I'm retreating to my bombshelter. Then I'm going to set off the charges and blow my house down on the hatch. Someone radio me in four years to tell me whether I should come out.

Who am I kidding? I could never go AWOL. But I could get three consecutive overseas tours...Korea, Germany, Japan...hey, this could work!

Oh, and we still have a couple of months before he is the Commander in Chief.
