| Any of you vets ever play buffer rodeo during GI parties. I use to have a blast ridein' that darn thing. There's no tellin' how many of 'em my platoon broke. The most exciting part was swapping out buffers with another platoon after we broke ours. Talkin' about SpecOps. |

One of my roommates in Air Force technical school (Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi) tried a little buffer riding once when nobody was around. It took him ten minutes to unwrap all that power cord from around himself and the buffer and free himself. Those of us who happened to find him (We went looking for the source of the screams... ) just stood there and watched, laughing our asses off, not being very helpful. In fact, we didn't help him get untangled at all, and just watched and laughed. Nothing was hurt but his pride. The stupid thing's power cord must have been a hundred feet long and every last foot of it was wrapped around him and the buffer. Silliest thing I think I ever saw. It cured me of any desire to try it for myself. Tech school had its moments that made for good memories. CJ |

we had better things to do than to F around with a friggin buffer.... 30+ days out in the middle of nowhere (if we were not deployed) on the range in the sim at the mout in the arms room hanging off cliffs and/or helicopters etc....... didn't have too much idle time. Free time was spent 'downtown', or somewhere as far as allowed from post. [:D] |
