The Creed
If this isn't funny, it probably pertains to you. It pertains to my Soldier, he did not laugh. I did, because it's true. Thoughts?

A few E Grades and years back prior to us being involved in the WOT this might have struck me as funny. Not so much anymore.

The Profile's Creed
That is fantastic! I wish I would've had a copy of this for some of my soldiers when I was still AD.
Thanks

I have this as a poster in my aid station....I have already been told that I "should be ashamed at being so insensitive."
I left it up

Just handed this to the Bn Surgeon and PA, they found the humor in it.
Being in an SF Bn, most will just ask you "WTF is a profile??" 
I worked for an NCO that was the PT test profile wizard. Always had a way to knock one out. The new boss steps up and decides that we're going to do a diagnostic one day without warning. GOTCHA B!tch!!!
He no longer works here in BN, the CSM saw to it!!!

That is funny !
Though, admit it, all of us have been on profile for something. We've wrenched and ankle or even broken our back on a jump, dislocated a shoulder, blew out a knee, or had dental surgery at one time or another.
It's the chronic "Sick call" guy's with no apparent injury that make this poster worth hanging in the sick call bay. The guy who complains that his knee is alway's in pain yet never see's an ortho doc let alone has corrective surgery. It's the guy's that suddenly develope back problems just two day's prior to a deployment or out of base CAPEX. We all have seen and known them.
Being on profile is worse than being the slowest guy on the PT run. It's worse than being the last guy in the ruck march. It's worse than being wet and cold in the middle of the boonies with your fellow soldiers. Why? because nobody respects your sorry butt and it's hard to earn that respect back.
Gotta love that poster though.

Never been; sometimes it better to be lucky than good.

So a buddy of mine in my Indo class is doing some body work on his car after class and gets some foreign object lodged in his sclera. Very painful and very inflamed. Goes to the TMC to get it fixed and they give him opthalamic antibiotics, pain meds and IIRC a bed rest profile. He goes back to class.
No relief after a couple of days and by this time he is now wearing a snazzy pirate eyepatch from the Halloween shop. Finally goes to the ER one night when it hurts too bad to sleep (about 4-5 days after insult) and after waiting all night in the lobby, the Doc dremels his eye to remove the FO. More pain meds (albeit more substantial ones than before). He goes back to class.
A day or so later, we have a PT test after class. All manner of dudes are rockin' their profiles. Not my buddy. He runs, pushes and sits. Does fine.
A day or so later. . . he gets all four of his wisdom teeth removed. Gets bed rest profile and a handful of percocets. Percocets makes him puke his guts out, blows his clots and he's bored laying in bed. He goes back to class.
Yesterday, we take the DLPT for Indo. He gets 1+S/2L/2+R, good enough to get FLPP.
Moral of the story - Go to school; you'll make more money. Plus, no one will think you're a pussy. Although, we did make fun of his eye patch the entire time.
