Originally posted by: Scruffy Darth-Adroit ... Can I print that out and use it for my next board? "Sir, this guy says that I have a firm grasp of small unit leadership and the role of an NCO. It was on a message board, sir. A Star Wars message board. We were discussing the cordon and search of Mos Eisley, and I was defending the position that Luke and the droids ... yessir, mountain climbers, how many?"

I'm only a Reserve SPC, btw. Never been anywhere, never done anything. But if I can pass for a BTDT NCO, then something in the training must be sticking. Hooah!

While we're on the subject, what do you think about approaching Star Wars as a legitimate fictional military history? I've found that those who approach the Trilogy as such, like Saxtonor Wong tend to have the most interesting discussions.

You are more than welcome to print it and put it on your resume. Shit send me a counseling form and I’ll do it up for you. Of course it would carry no weight because I’ve been out since 2000.

The training does work and some of it always stays with you. My friends and co-workers think I’m crazy because I use a dozen different routes to and from work, but I really can’t help it. My MI training means I can’t avoid using counter-intelligence. I’m willing to bet that you can’t take a shot without remembering BRM and the four fundamentals. I use BRM with my son’s Nerf guns.

Let me take a look at the links you provided and do some thinking before I consider Star Wars as fictional Military History. I can tell you right away the PT in general and ROTS in particular is out of the question. Now let me stop before I go on another “buzz droids” rant.
