Military Friends -vs- Other Friends

[smanders]

I posted this over at SOCNET and thought it would be relevant here as well. Some are pretty-darn accurate...

OTHER FRIENDS: Never ask for food

MILITARY FRIENDS: Are the reason you have no food.


OTHER FRIENDS: Call your parents "Mr. and Mrs."

MILITARY FRIENDS: Call your parents drunk as hell and
tell them about the fat girl you tried to pick up


OTHER FRIENDS: Bail you out of jail and tell you what
you did was wrong.

MILITARY FRIENDS: Would be sitting next to you saying,
"Damn...we f***ed up...but that was fun...but
I'm not calling the CO this time!!!!"


OTHER FRIENDS: Cry with you.

MILITARY FRIENDS: laugh at you and tell you to "man up, Nancy boy!"


OTHER FRIENDS: Borrow your stuff for a few days then
give it back.

MILITARY FRIENDS: Keep your stuff until they PCS.


OTHER FRIENDS: know a few things about you.

MILITARY FRIENDS: Could write a book with direct
quotes from you.


OTHER FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that's what
the crowd is doing.

MILITARY FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowd's ass that
left you.


OTHER FRIENDS: Would knock on your door.

MILITARY FRIENDS: Walk right in and say, "I'm home!"


OTHER FRIENDS: Will take your drink away when they
think you've had enough.

MILITARY FRIENDS: Will look at you stumbling all over
the place and say, "You better drink the rest
of that, you know we don't waste...that's alcohol
abuse!!!"


OTHER FRIENDS: Will say "I can't handle Tequila
anymore".

MILITARY FRIENDS: Will say "okay just one more" 2
minutes later "okay just one more".


OTHER FRIENDS: Will talk s*it to the person who talks
s*it about you.

MILITARY FRIENDS: Will knock them on their ass!!


OTHER FRIENDS: Will support you when you try to quit
smoking

MILITARY FRIENDS: Will blow smoke in your face and
offer you cigarettes until you cave, then call you a wuss for relapsing.
