I once re-enlisted a soldier armpit deep in the ocean in full BDU's. I was holding the flag and the waves were HUGE! The CO told me if I dropped the flag I'd be doing push ups with it...on the bottom. Needless to say, Old Glory didn't get a drop on her.

Marine Air Support Squadron 2, Japan ---
for background, 7242s in the Corps go to only three main squadrons, and they all go to japan first enlistment, either first or second duty station (after that there are also three other possible units they can go to rarely sometimes, and a very few go to base range control) so all 7242s scrubbed the crapper in Oki a lot their first enlistment.--- Guy reups, mind you the Corps would arrange for the short flight to Iwo Jima or a trip to tori or ia shima, in the enlisted crapper. |

One friend of mine reenlisted at the top of Diamondhead on Oahu, Hawaii.
Better yet, I have a friend that reenlisted on the DECK OF THE USS ARIZONA. (No, not on the memorial, but underwater!) He received permission from the Natl. Park service to accompany them on one of their weekly inspections of the Arizona. While down there, him and an officer did the oath, as well as signed the paperwork (With a grease pencil...) mug |

I forgot the name of the base paper in North Island, but I saw a guy get sworn in while he was inside the barrel of a destroyers gun. This was back in 87. My memory is not serving me well. One of the AK2 I worked with got sworn in on an F/A 18. It wasn't moving. He just stepped in the cockpit. Our Div Officer was in the RIO's seat. Did the deed and got picture taken and that was that. Being in the Navy myself, I have heard of lots of crazy re-enlistment stories. Guess if you could find an officer willing to jump out of a plane to swear you in, you can do it.

My wife, when she was on active duty in the 82d Airborne Division, reenlisted inflight on a C-5 aircraft while enroute to the dropzone for a CE/N (combat equipment/night) jump. As a reenlistment "bonus" she got door position (exited first).
I've got a VHS tape given to me by a 1SG in the 1st Special Forces Group out of Ft. Lewis, Washington, to use when I was in recruiting. Showed a guy getting reenlisted on the aircraft just prior to exiting on a HALO jump. Chris |

Shit, fellas! I would LITERALLY give my left testicle if it would allow me to re-enlist. I only need one.
I am ineligible for re-enlistment, but I would LITERALLY do the deed with a K-Bar, some gauze, and some SuperGlue, if it would allow me to go back in the Corps. That would never happen, but if it would, I would NOT got back on this promise. Forget the pictures. Just imagine 17 years of heartache because you were ordered to NOT complete your mission. I respect anyone that re-enlists in our country's service. Bravo-Zulu, shipmates. Hard Corps, to the core. |

I had a soldier in my battalion reenlist in waist deep water at 4 mile crossing on Ft. Sill. When the ceremony was complete, he body slammed his wife in the creek.
On my last reup, the officer who reenlisted me was my Battery commander 19 years ago. I bumped into him just before he retired at 30. |

I reenlisted two aircrewmen passing 10,000' for 14,500 on a freefall jump (civ plane). Was along for the ride when another crewman had the squadron CO reelinst him in a limo w/ 2 strippers enroute to adult entertainment site.

Only rotorheads would dream up something like that...and get away with it! [;D] |
