So, I was in my boss' office training on her job so I can take over when she leaves out when our CSM walks in talking about some chapter paperwork on some trainee. We get to talking about transitioning out of the military and retirement and whatnot and I say, "Well, you could always do something simple like my pops did after 30 years in service, be like a janitor or something."
And a wildly animated story came in his response, and i quote:
"You know when i was a SGT or SSG, back in Bragg around when Columbine and all that was going on, we came up with the idea that all Janitors should be ex-infantry. I mean i love the infantry, 19 years and counting, and we do two things best. GI Parties and shootin sh*t. I mean we're not out in the field or down range, what are we doing? Details. Cleanin sh*t; and when we are, we're shootin sh*t. So, janitors have carts right, always pushin around the little buggy of supplies. So why not have a non-lethal weapon and a lethal weapon stored in there, and hell they got radios too, right? So, when all hell breaks loose; the call comes down and some kid with a knife threatening people, we roll in with a bing-bag shotgun; put a round in his chest and he's out for the count; and if we got some crazy mother f*ckers runnin around with rifles and pipebombs, i got something for that ass too.... 5.56.. and more than just one, because you always double-tap for good measure."
Response,"First. How much coffee have you drank today? Second. What about the parents of those kids? Don't you think they would be a little upset?"
Final response, "F*ck em, it's probably their fault their kid is crazy anyways. Oh, and don't question me about my coffee intake, your starting to sound like my wife."
