I started smoking in Combat..... I still do it.
you're asking the wrong person.....I believe that was Somalia.....I was never there....
I can tell you this.....I know of no movies about Vietnam that is "real"....
Heh.....I almost lit up my eCig with a lighter last nite, lol. You're right...talk about habits.
Yep, transferring the blame is always soothing ... LOL
I hear ya about the "cigarette thing" ... I found myself reaching up and grabing my shirt pocket for weeks (months) after I stopped the cigarettes ... just the habit of 'reaching' even though there was nothing there.
Having enjoyed both genuine Cubans and cigars from toher countries .. I have coe to the opinion that Cubans are over-rated these past few years. I believe most of the truly good cigar makers left Cuba, to escape the government interference, and are now plying their trade in other countries. The Cubans I've had the past few years are no better, and in most cses not as good, as quality sticks from other sources.
Good luck in your quest. It hurts to admit being a slave to an inanimate object such as a cigarette, but that is truly the first step in quitting.
I have some stale ones around. They don't do it for me because It's not only the nicotine, it's the whole cigarette thing. I started when I was...oh...14. But I'm hoping that this eCigarette thing will change that pattern. Then, I think, it'll be easier to quit.
I'll tell ya though...I was in Havana 'bout 20 yrs ago. Whatever the reason was......I liked them there.....funny, huh? But they didn't make stop smoking cigs at the same time. I didn't know it but I wouda made it thru customs with a box of Cubans that cost $25. C'est la Vie.
SHE did, lol. I was a crazy mofo. But I've always maintained she made me that way.
Did you think Blackhawk Down was accurate.....a pretty good depiction?
Got it....at least the time slowing down part. When ya have to......it seems like something else takes over.......but ya need lots of energy to do that. You were young....you had it. As yo get older, you start to lose those reserve.....ya know?
TY Sir.......
There ya go....you experienced an altered state. Consider relearning how to do that in present life. Maybe you do it...I dunno.
Sounds stressful, lol......When ya got no other way to deal with the stress, chokin' the chicken'll do it.
Now...can I ask ya? Why did yo join?
I can't believe with all the Guys on this board .... Nobody wants too post about Military History.
Wow.....I need to eat some shit here....... Loops let me get my spoon. You a Vietnam Vet?
that's the one which holds the rotor onto its shaft...
exactly right geo. on a couple emergency evacuations of helispots on wildfires, we ran alongside the ship until it developed some transitional lift then jumped onto a skid. often the grass tended to dissipate some of the HIGE so some lateral motion was needed.
Try some good premium cigars and don't inhale. You might just 'transfer' your habit, but it won't bother you nearly as badly. Take it from a chowderhead who smoked cigarettes for .... over 25 years ..... the damn things have ZERO positive points. I now puff on a cigar once in a while, and satisfy the nicotine cravings ... but since I don't inhale, they're not nearly so harmful. AND a good cigar has none of those addictive dditives they use in cigarettes to ensure you get hooked.
Believe me, after a short while, you'll learn to enjoy a nice, slow, leisurely cigar in a way you never really could enjoy a cigarette. Get yourself a few Macanudos or Fuentes to start .... don't inhale, and just puff them slowly and deliberately. You'll get your nicotine kick, without all the tars and other schmuck the cigarette makers use.
You'll be transformed from a 'nasty smoker' to an 'afficionado' in a short while.
Hell, I figured you too sophisticated to fall for the trap the cigarette makers set to lure in unthinking, weak, stupid dolts.
You have an ex? Wow, I never would have guessed? Who in their right mind could possibly allow you, the self-imagined catch of the century, to escape?
Do you remember the Jesus Nut....lol.... That's what you could say before the nut broke on the old 46.....remember I told you if a Helo doesn't leak get off...it's run out of liquids.
i flew in them in the "stone-age"....i see twin engines now....I sure it's improved by leaps and bounds...
Wow..... I never saw a Helo .......Chopper make a combat run........
no...clear as a bell...probably because I don't have a lot of great war stories....
did my job....got the shit scared out of me...got a suntan...made it home....thanks god!!!
not usually....and, i know a lot of guys were PISSED big time at us....
but, in the heat....100 deg......if you landed in a tight spot, loaded with ammo & rockets, the ship didn't have enough engine power to takeoff straight up....
ever see a loaded chopper take off.....
you go down the runway...build up speed to achieve translational lift....
There you go Wall. .......
I don't remember shit .....I have blank spots in my memory....... You have that?
You do Medi Vack.....
Never was....... No shit....... Now I jump at sound of a back fire.
God one more thing.....the filth and the smells ......we. Guys couldn't bathe for 45 days Girls could every other day...... God we stank and we were around 10 K unburied bodies......We had boils everywhere.....I cut one out of my knee.......by the way.... I am going into grab a beer and take my pills. Lol....Sorry I was an Asshole on your board.....I deserved the ban.
Wall I will put it like this.....it's like being in a car wreck every 5 minutes......know how you focus on stupid shit....like the song playing......your dirty windshield......etc etc......just like that......then your legs or arm shakes because of the adrenaline rush..... Nothing romantic......I threw up as soon as I saw my first decomposing body.
Yes it is......
You want to know something funny ....I was never scare in Combat.....not once it was like watching myself outside my body........Now.....I drink way too much and take pills for Panic Attacks.
GEO can tell you .......my experience was no sleep, wired all the time and a lot of jacking off.
Can anyone explain why the Right is upset that Obama took out that idiot with the drone?
So where are all these military aficionados? I was a draft dodger so I wanna know what it was like to be a grunt.....the REAL story.
Heh....you should meet my Ex, lol.
Gotta quit soon and I think this'll help. Ya take a couple of puffs and put it down. And......you can smoke it anywhere. They say there's no oder, but being a smoker, I can't tell. I'll have to try it on someone who doesn't smoke.
You should meet my 2 older sisters.......wow!
Who knows ......its a gift you should have met my parents.
No I like the real thing....lol you smoke? I am surprised.
Hey, ya know what?...have you ever tried an electronic cigarette? They're not bad and talk about convenient! Bought one yesterday.
Ya know your problem Chloe?.....ANY attention to you is a good thing...even if it's negative. You have so much to offer yet you spend your time pissing people off. Why is that?
TY...come visit.
Nice board, btw
It IS open for discussion...in fact I encourage it. However, since there are many political boards around, I wanted this one to be different. If you visit other boards, I think you'll agree that they're mostly consumed with name-calling and senseless arguments and opinions. Read the Sticky..."The Red Pill Explained"...

King Wall loves the Tell people to rise against Wall Street......fight back but.....he runs a board like a conservative?
