No S#!T there I was!

As I've been reading through this site, I've found that between the copious amounts of knowledge and wisdom to be found, there's also plenty of interesting experiences to find.

So, I thought I'd make a post about those stories. I'm a wannabe, so I don't have any, of course, but I thought that plenty of wannabes and even current or former guys would like to hear a good story or two.

Obviously nothing that's too personal to share or anything, just a "man this day sucked in particular" type of story.

Often times one needs a certain amount of basic experience to begin to understand what is being told.

Put another way, if I were to tell a "war story" from my part of the hood, it would take a couple of pages of explaining the basics so you might have a hint of what is really being told. I think the same holds true for others. You are not seeing war stories here for a reason, and I don't see your request opening up the floodgates.

I'll leave this open for a while, but I think we'll wind up closing it out. Let's see what is said.

Understood, I'll get some experience then ask again. Thanks

We'll give it some time, I know where you are coming from. No worries over this either way.

ETA: I was not posting to slap you down, but to give you a frame of reference.

I know I've told random stories all over this site in the past decade or so.

What kind of training did you have to fall back on exactly?

I think we'll put this to bed.
