Joe, you’re fired

I doubt the swabby has run into a burning building.

And I don't think drinking with the lady boys in the Philppines counts as hazardous duty.
Is that why you never had any hazardous duty? I thought you spent your service time in Monterey (I did two years of my service there and it's great) and in German beer halls. Didn't know you also did time in the PI. I bet you did more than drink with the lady boys, right?

As for me, I spent quite a bit of time in hazardous duty zones including very short stints in Iraq and Afghanistan in my last year of service. There was even a missile attack on the FOB in Iraq which I stayed in. You get any time at all in hazardous duty zones?

I've never run into a burning building, but I have fought a shipboard fire along with my shipmates while in my second ship in the Persian Gulf. One of my Sailors was injured and medevac'd from the Bahrain to Germany with severe lung injuries. You probably were long gone from your arduous tour of the German beer halls. My Sailor ended up medically discharged from the Navy. You'd probably make fun of his service without knowing a thing about it because that's what you do.

Stop being an ankle biting POS. We had an agreement that I wouldn't respond to you unless you mentioned me or responded to me. You're not fooling anyone smarter than you with the "swabby" nonsense, and I'm far smarter than you.

So sensitive. Nope, never was in hazardous duty zone because there weren't any at the time. At least none I could be sent to. By the time I was in they were only sending volunteers to VN. They weren't sending anyone with my MOS there anyway.

What caused your fire? Someone not following regulations? Accidents happen on every military base/facility. Weren't you responsible for your men practicing fire safety?

Congrats on your engagements with the Al Quaida navy. That had to be harrowing.

I thought you had me on ignore. That was nice.

Electrical switch board file because a maintenance worker (not mine, from the tender) decided to pull out a charged shore power circuit breaker. It wasn't tagged out and secured by them before it happened. Electrical wiring emits toxic smoke when burning. The toxic smoke got into the first man on scene to fight the fire. He did a great job and suffered from it. The rest of my guys got everything under control pretty soon. The job was done properly. Yes, I was responsible for the response since I was the Assistant Engineer and it was my space and my people.

I was in Iraq and Afghanistan to teach their Ministry of Defense officers about Security Cooperation.

I thought you weren't going to respond to me and then people told me you did.

I'm just playing with you after you dissed Joe. I respect your service very much and, as I've said here before, military service is inherently dangerous.

Joe and I may go back and forth occasionally, but it's not disrespectful, at least I mean no disrespect. I like Joe. I don't believe I responded to you since our agreement. I've liked some of your posts, but I don't recall responding to any of them except those recently when you mentioned me.

I respect your service too.

Civility isn't so bad, is it?
