hahaha, you were in Kuwait in '99? I was at Al Jaber in '99, nice vacation.

As far as being pompous, I guess that is a compliment....

I was at Ali Al Salem doing your job.

Pompous a compliment? Only for an uneducated crusty old MSgt that thinks more highly of himself than the folks serving in the same branch. It's a good thing I don't work with you, I'd run circles around you when it comes to work.

I can hold a civilian job and still do your job…

Next time, think before you speak. You obviously don't know a thing about the Guard and Reserve forces and the sacrifices we make to make up for Active Duty shortfalls.
