Wolfdog91 7,025 Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Never experienced really sucky situations. Me and one of my class mates are the only vets in class. Me army him Coast Guard. As guys do craps starts getting talked and stories start getting told. And Honestly feel like me and him are the only ones who really lived out the whole group. He's telling stories about being in 30' seas almost falling over board , almost getting struck by lightning whiel doing rescue missions, being so sleep deprived he's hallucinating,doing drug busts on cartel boats and I'm telling similar about sand storm almost getting run over , running missions for 48hr with no sleep straight passing out in 130 degree temps in Kuwait wearing full MOPP 4 hazmat gear in the desert almost getting shot in live fire training, . And these other guys are looking at use shaking Their heads saying we're crazy ! " Y'all not scared ?y'all could have died out there !" Me and him just laugh and tell them yeah we could have more times then we could count but we got cool stories , experiences and memories not to mention the adrenalin rush if it all. They just can't relate though . I mean our casual talk on our experiences just seems to shut them all up. All their stories consist of dealing with basic boring women folk, clubbing, their baby momma drama cheating and not getting caught ( which apparently I'm the weird one because I have all these stories about meeting fine ass women folk while deployed but I never cheated ), drinking and maybe a bar fight. Idk me and him started to kinda keep to ourselves when they talking starts though. Reckon the good book says rejoice in your suffering for more then a few reasons . Dont think many good stories or character building comes from being comfortable and doing the easy way your whole life.... Idk seems like I didn't appreciate life as much till I went though all that... But hay what do I know 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,255 Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Know what Wolfie. I stopped telling stories about what happened in the Middle East because folks think you are either an out and out liar or crazy. Thing is, possibly like yourself, there are not many pics to support the tales possibly for the best. Jok. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But hay what do I know Wolfdog, for a young lad, you've seen more than most on here. I take my hat off to you. We all need to appreciate what we have, and realize things could be a hell of a lot worse. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
