itsme Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I didn't even know he was in the military. (The Image Content is No Longer Accessible and has been Removed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albacore Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 It must be some kind of reserve force since he is home most of the time but will disappear for a couple of days here and there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foamy T. Squirrel Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 This subject came up some time ago. We figured it would be Air Force, or Army Artillery. He is, by all evidence, a "week-end" warrior -- similar to the US National Guard/Reserves. Unfortunately, we never got a really crisp capture of the insignia. Here's the Army Artillery patch for comparison: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if the USA still has the draft system or not but I know in Canada enlisting in the Military is on a voluntary basis. You can always tell when Paul is going to be in the service when he gets a brush cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsme Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 I am not sure what it is now. If you notice there is no what I would call a "tail feather" on his insignia but it appears there is one on both the Air Force one and the one you posted.

Foamy T. Squirrel Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The original discussion thread is over at (The Web Page Link is No Longer Accessible and has been Removed) Unfortunately, PostImage.org removed the captures that Antares made of Paul wearing the jacket, and I would take me days to dig through the old files to find it. Suffice to say, whatever he's into, it's probably technical, and not peeling potatoes down at the mess hall. StnCld: PS: The US Armed Services are purely volunteer these days. And from what I gather, they prefer it that way, since a volunteer citizen army is not filled with a bunch of disgruntled, unmotivated, non-professionals who don't want to be there in the first place. The mechanisms for re-instituting the draft are still in place, but not utilized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsme Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 I know he's in the Russian version of our national guards and is about to make leucine. How I know ths is from the skunk and he seems to have disappeared from cc. There wasn't much he didn't know and it was rumored that he is the one Leora has been talking too all this time. Come again? leucine? Skunk? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucine "Leucine (abbreviated as Leu or L)[2] is a branched-chain α-amino acid with the chemical formula HO2CCH(NH2)CH2CH(CH3)2. Leucine is classified as a hydrophobic amino acid due to its aliphatic isobutyl side chain. It is encoded by six codons (UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA, and CUG) and is a major component of the subunits in ferritin, astacin, and other 'buffer' proteins. Leucine is an essential amino acid, meaning that the human body cannot synthesize it, and it therefore must be ingested" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skunk "Skunks are mammals known for their ability to spray a liquid with a strong odor. Different species of skunk vary in appearance from black-and-white to brown or cream colored, but all have warning coloration." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsme Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 This missile troops. So when they start shooting missiles towards the U.S. Paul might be the one pushing the buttons? Talk about irony. Payback for all the shit we talk about him I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prodog Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 If Paul is part of the Russian Air Force then his boss is Lieutenant General Viktor Bondarev. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Air_Force Maybe some of our Russian language speakers here can get a hold of the General and put a good word in for Paul.

I think there are some openings available if you're interested. :) (The Image Content is No Longer Accessible and has been Removed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
