bendito.L SG

US Navy go"HOOYAH!" (most notably the SEALS)
USMC go "HOORAH!" (whereby the H is silent)
US Army go "HOOAH!" (or Hua as some say)
USAF go...??? (maybe some one can enlighten?)

I had no problem with the creed until....

Hey, any Atheists around here? You know what I am saying?

wonderamazement SG

SAF go "Huat Ah!"

crabx SG

anyone excused firearms here?
how come?

crosshairs SG

Sweaty palms, allergy to brass or gun propellant, hearing problems, extreme left handedness, religion, psychological condition triggered by loud noises, unexplained inability to aim straight, etc etc are all the reasons I can imagine.

Index finger injury not included. Middle finger can be used with >95% effectiveness of the index finger.

You happen to know the name of that medical condition?

crosshairs SG

Unidentified SG

how do u confirm you really have sweaty palm and how sweaty to considered having sweaty palm ?
seeing this , i just forgot to declare i got sweaty palm at CMBP checkup (i think a little nia)

crosshairs SG

If you have reasons to believe that the condition prevents you from discharging your duties in a reasonably safe manner, which should come up in the first few days of your enlistment, bring it up to your sergeant, he may get you to talk to your platoon commander during one of those interviews. Since your condition is really subjective, there is no guarantee that you will be exempt from firearms(guns are good!) so my recommendations would be to get a nice pair of leather gloves and powder it frequently.

The condition is called hyperekplexia, and I happen to know someone who has it. He is an extremely capable soldier, albeit PES E.

I thought you were referring to him. Sorry if you took offence. Your description just seemed to sound 100% like his MO's description.

last time my friend went to report sick during bmt n tell MO he got sweaty palms... cant hold rifle etc, n wanna be excused firearms n SOC (coz got the monkey bar thingy)...

i think in the end MO didnt excuse him, but made him wear gloves for these activities....
