Cpl over a SSGT? When did THAT rank system get put into place?

It's a Canadian thing.

I'm sure it has to do with beaver pelts... or was it beer stubbys?

Aw man, I thought this whole thread was a joke and then bam! I get called up

Great, Dom's in charge. How do I get out of this chickenshit outfit?

Easy, easy... As founder of the United Americas Colonial Marines, I am Squashed Spider's de facto CO... When parading or on sweeps, Lt Porkchop (aka VA2 ECM) is our platoon commander, not me.

This is not any kind of power hungry statement to say I am her CO, or anybody else's CO... I've always been happy to be a Colonial Marine, a loosely organized group with no actual need for a structured chain of command.

Merci beaucoup.

Sorry Dom. Aliens report to no-one except themselves and the (Alien) Queen!

So if we tie up the Alien Queen and pull her behind an APC would that make her a Drag Queen?

I'm 99.9% positive a full grown queen could easily pull the transaxel clean off an APC, so I doubt one would let itself be dragged anywhere.

Guys,

I don't know you all that well, but I know the nature of what you're heading into and its not pretty.

Its been said before, but can't be said enough; Keep your heads down, eyes open and weapons close.

Good luck, godspeed and report back in one piece!

OK. I'm getting confused now...maybe it's my tired state of mind...

Most people are refering to DCon, got that bit pretty early on

But there seem to be crossed wires around (or maybe it's just me),
so is anyone actually saying they are going to the sandbox for real?

I knew this was coming at some point ^_^

A while back, a request was sent out for the addresses of the people who were going to D'Con. We weren't told why, only that there was a "surprise" planned and it required your address. That "surprise" turned out to be a "official" Recall Notice from the United States Colonial Marines, signed and printed on letterhead, ordering the reader to report to Atlanta on D'Con weekend for active duty

So, no. Nobody's goin' to Durka-Durka-Stan... we're just having some fun and continuing the joke that the letters started

Cool!

With all these comments of "come back safe..." and having mates gone over there recently too I didn't want to second guess.

Bleedin' 'eck... I'm not the sharpest tool in the box by far, but you genuinely had me worried there!

Cool idea, though...

Cat's outta the bag now!



It's cool- until I received my own Notice of Active Duty letter, I believe this thread was the real deal hook line and sinker.

But I wasn't kidding about being a day late.

Might have to go down a day early... Maybe this year I can actually try flying down.

Yeah, I got suckered in too at the start of the thread. Once I received my notice in the mail, I knew then exactly what was going on. Lots of fun.

I highly recommend it Sarge. I fly into Atlanta at 1220 on Friday.

Glad you all enjoyed the little giggle we had going on.

If anyone wants a copy of their active duty papers I can e-mail it to you, just drop me a PM.
Don't want people to be left out because they don't want to give out their home addy
