The Religion Thread

Fer shure they didn't send you home!

There was no such thing as "gay" rights, either. Musta been b.p's conundrum. "Nun" being the key word here.

Nah, they didn't send me home, but I think about three or four of about ninety were sent home. As for gay rights, back then I guess if you were gay you didn't mention it. I guess it was the origin of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. I can't recall ever thinking any of the guys I was with were gay, but it's not something I thought or wondered about. And even if any of them were, it wouldn't matter to me; hominy don't play that.

Same here. Thoughts of someone being "gay" wasn't an issue; however when we showered, most of us faced the wall anyway....more concerned with....well, you know.

"....they'd ask you to recite one or all of the Seven General Orders of a Sentry."

My bad...it's been almost 50 years. Eleven General Orders of a Sentry. And they didn't ask you, they told you. Well, at least it rhymed.

I was thinking there were more than 7 general orders, but I generally disregard general orders these days. And I, too, generally faced the wall in the shower; mostly because that's where the water was coming from. I only turned around when rinsing my ass.

What was his rank?

"Ah, turns out we were being nice to you, imagine that."

And it's not even a full moon...

Rear Admirable I guess. And his good buddy Vice Admirable

[O Really]

Did you guys not have stalls in those showers? That's pretty barbaric.
We are ... Penn State!

[neoplacebo]

Heh, if I need a shower, I don't discriminate about who else might be in there. Aren't those the West Point showers in the background? I had heard they were big enough for a whole Division at once.

[Mr.B]

" Aren't those the West Point showers in the background? I had heard they were big enough for a whole Division at once."

I'm lost.. :-0?> ...you see something I don't? Or are you speaking of the dumpsters?

Nah, I was referring to the loading docks, where they bring in an entire Army Division at once to take showers. Be all you can be. Army.

Oh....that. Thanks.

They say that "Faith can move mountains." Although you have to wonder why, when a plain crashes into the side of a mountain, you never hear anyone say "If only they'd been a little bit more spiritual!"

[Mr.B]

".....when a plain crashes into the side of a mountain...."

A "plain"...? How does that happen? I knew a plain could meet a mountain, but....?

[rstrong]

A "plain"...? How does that happen?

Now you're denying plate tectonics?

[neoplacebo]

Plain geometry always got me confused.

[neoplacebo]

Absolutely. And up there in the cockpit, the pilots have a book about the plane itself called "The Plane Truth" which they consult frequently.

[rstrong]

When landmasses get really twisted and folded it's plait tectonics.

Plait is an astronomer, not a geologist.

This is The Religion Thread. Divination is forbidden in Deuteronomy.

I think multiplication is still kosher though.

...and if raped, gotta remember to pay the father. Cause morals.

[Mr.B]

...and if raped, gotta remember to pay the father. Cause morals.

I didn't know Catholics had to do that.

Oh, is that another rule that's ignored?
