I don't think I'd stop in this town...

Gravdigr · 10-23-2018, 02:33 PM

...somewhere between Detroit and Denver...

xoxoxoBruce · 10-23-2018, 03:06 PM

Yes, that was the pathfinder car scouting the route from Detroit to Denver for the AAA Glidden Tour.

Gravdigr · 10-23-2018, 03:29 PM

Well, I hope their directions were more accurate than that.

Lincoln conspirators?

Happy Monkey · 11-08-2018, 02:43 PM

Yes

xoxoxoBruce · 11-16-2018, 12:11 AM

I wonder if this is how grunts got that name.

Diaphone Jim · 11-16-2018, 11:37 AM

The sound of making a gritty, grinding effort?
I was one and made lots.
Also heard G (eneral) R (eplacement) UNT (rained).

That gun would roll a whole lot easier on the railroad track.

One version...

Quote:

This origin story takes us back to the second World War when infantry united sustained extremely high casualty rates, forcing troops from rear-echelon units (often referred to as rear-echelon motherf*ckers or REMF) forward they were quickly trained, often in-theatre, to be foot soldiers. These troops were categorized as "General Replacement Unit, Not Trained," or GRUNT.

Gravdigr · 11-16-2018, 01:43 PM

That looks to be very close to actual misery.

Diaphone Jim · 11-16-2018, 07:12 PM

My own memory, such as it is, has REMF as a product of Vietnam where the ratio between thems that fought and those the supported was something around 1:4 or 5.
Also, I think the use of "grunt" was pretty much referring to Marines. Funny I don't connect REMFs as much with them as I do the other services.
Another thing that came about well after I left the Army was "ell tee" for lieutenant. I hate to think what my platoon sergeant would have done to any one who used that form of address..
