Does anyone still have a 3.5" Floppy drive anymore? I found a bunch discs in the back of a closet and thought "Fuck, I can't even read them anymore".

As most modern desktop motherboards don't have the port for an internal floppy drive on them, I'd suggest just getting an external USB floppy drive to keep on hand, or keep and old PC in the closet.
 
I would always tell those guy's I have more time on the "floor above' then you have in the Fire Service. Another good one was we got ice cream in the freezer longer than you've been here.

Few years ago I had a fresh out of Paramedic school rookie with me on the ambulance. We were going out of district with that distict's engine. Got disregarded, then got asked to return. I looked at the rookie and said exactly this "if there is any shit come down from what I am about to do, I got it. I'll make sure you are not going to be in trouble. But what I am about to do, you cannot do." He said in a shaky voice "what are you gonna do?" I said, "just watch." Checked on scene, got out (he's following) walked right past the Captian standing on the sidewalk, into the house. I asked the fairly new guys on the engine if it was going to be a transport. They said no. I said "your computer working?" Yes. I did an about face, told my rookie "let's go" walked right past the Captain without a word, got in the ambulance and told the rookie to drive. Cleared over the radio with dispatch.

See, some lazy asses don't want to write a no transport patient care report, and throw it off on the ambulance crew. Yeah, fuck that.

The rookie looked at me and said "damn I can't wait until I've been here long enough to do shit like that!" I said, you'd better wait about a decade and a half, stay out of trouble, and make a hand, every shift.

There is such a thing as a "made guy". Seen it for a long time.

From losing his virginity in a crypt to drilling a hole in his helmet so he could smoke on the grid, here are ten things you didn't know about the iconic, bionic British motorcycle racer...

He lost his virginity on a pool table in a church crypt
Thereafter he was relentless in his pursuit of women. As he became more mainstream he ditched the “happiness is a tight pussy” patch on his leathers, but reflecting on his many injuries mused, “My favourite part of the rehabilitation process was trying to bed as many women as possible.” His ethos changed when he met his wife, Stephanie, in 1975, although years later a friend recalled he did manage to escape a parking ticket on London's Kings Road and then persuade the traffic warden “to get her tits out”.

You don’t have to force muslims to eat pork.... They just have to be hungry! I watched them eat dehydrated pork patties and ham slice out of first generation MRE’s all the time during Provide Comfort.

And for you younger fighters and civilians who never “enjoyed” first gen MRE’s. They are horrible! And the Ham slice and pork patty were the worst of the worst! ?

And I love pork!

Semper Fi,

Fixed it for ya.... But at least you got a pack of smokes and Chicklets! Which was funny, since we were getting them as Cub Scouts courtesy the Civil Air Patrol!

Cheers,

You do realize the "MRE I hated most" could be an entire thread on its own.
As could " how I ratfucked multiple MREs to make one okay meal."

I hear they have poptarts now.

Damn new Marines.

You are onto something. The border-jumping rapists, criminals, pedophiles, drug-dealers and camel-humpers have rights according to the leftist democrats. These same communists don't want to build a wall yet one of their first acts when they get in power is to introduce gun banning bills that infringe on our rights.
 
lets put so $$ to it

from the Government Accounting Office: JUST CALIFORNIA

The GAO study states the cost to incarcerate these criminal illegal immigrants in federal prisons and for federal reimbursements to states and localities ranged from about $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion annually, 2005-2009.

thats refunded by the US govt.

then add in:

According to Victor Davis Hanson, a scholar at the Hoover Institution, the 30,000 illegal immigrants behind bars in California cost the state $1 billion annually. In addition, the state spends another $10 billion annually in entitlements for illegal immigrants.

thats state money on top of the reimbursement

lets say hes half wrong... ill give him $400 million for prison

1.5 + 400 million = Approx 2 billion in California alone.

THATS PER YEAR

nevermind the entitlements for illegals, ill cut that in half as well because there is waste and others scamming the system = 5 billion

so 5 billion + 2 billion = 7 Billion on the low side

If california funded the whole wall by themselves and kicked out 50% of them (some are good people and are not able to be moved etc) they would be cash positive in 12 month and gaining 2 billion+ every year.

are you kidding me, its just simple math.

build the wall and make money tomorrow, skipping the whole human part of it which is idealistic opinion.

 
Dehydrated pork patty and dehydrated beef patty were the ones I hated the most. Never ever had time to rehydrate those things. I always brought ramen noodles and McDonalds cheese burgers into the field. Those cheese burgers lasted for ever.

I started carying sterno, and snacks.

Not to bitch much I was lucky to get the good foxholes with a roof at times.
