Airborne
Most of my friends from AIT went on to airborne school and got into airborne units. I did not.
I mentioned airborne pathogens the other day, and my platoon sergeant (who proudly wears his jumpmaster wings) didn't like the disrespect I was showing towards the airborne corps by lumping them into the same category as the viruses that make us sick. He launched into a heartfelt and emotional soliloquy about how much he misses jumping out of aircraft and how he wished he was still in an airborne unit and how he cares more about airborne stuff than any of us stupid, ugly motherfuckers.
I interrupted him mid-speech -
Me: "Well Sergeant, I want to go. Will you help me fill out a packet for airborne school?"
PSG: "I'm not helping you with shit."
Me: "Why not?"
PSG: "Because there are no slots in jump school for dirty, stupid legs like you."
Fair enough.
