25 years ago, email and the internet was very different at work in the military.

Back then, some of the joke emails would come with an attached executable file that would get sent around and would lock up a computer until you closed the program via ctrl, alt, del or you hit the power button to physically restart the computer. Most of the time, it was a harmless joke. A lot of us were dumb enough to fall for the jokes back then. I had a coworker that sent an exe file in an email that was a cartoon Uncle Sam riding around the computer screen on a rocket that was shaped like a dick. He just bounced all over my screen until I hit the power button and physically restarted my computer. The file was called “Happy Independence Day” It was sent a couple day before the 4th of July. Yes, he got me and several other people in the office.

When Outlook came back up on my screen after the reboot there were several replies to my coworker’s email. My coworker had sent the email to the entire 22nd ARW. About 1200 people at the time. The wing commander, command chief, etc. weren’t amused by the joke.

I remember our bio officer yelling “what the frick is this?!?” from her office. He ended up with all kinds of extra details for the next couple of months.

There are 4 of us in a group text from the crew back then and we talk about that email every few years or so. We laugh about it now, but we were all worried for a little bit that our buddy’s life was going to be ruined over a joke email.

Damn!

Sherrell officially in portal w/ no contact tag.

Out as a contractor at a chemical plant. Had to use a boom lift to collect an asbestos sample. One of the boom lifts with the articulating baskets. Plant rules wouldn’t let a contractor operate their equipment. I got a lady operator that was trained 3 days before my visit. Fully extended at about 40 feet, she tried to feather the joystick unsuccessfully. I was tied off to the basket, but I bounced up above the rail and hit a steam pipe and landed back in the basket. My hard hat and knife went flying down to the ground.

frick that. I told her that I was done and that they’d need to find someone else to get that sample. They brought another guy over there. I gave him instructions and my sampling tools and he got the sample.

We’re dribbling too much around the 3 point line. Need paint touches and spray it around from there.

As bad as that start was to the 2nd half, we’re ok.

I was ready to run through a wall when John Petty said that looking right at the camera.

“Everybody seems to want a piece of Alabama… They can get it too.”

I haven’t stolen food from a hotel, but I will stop at a random hotel lobby restroom to drop a deuce while out on the road. Those restrooms are way cleaner than gas station restrooms.

No, his 2026 salary is guaranteed.

For that kind of money, I’m going to the house and taking up a new hobby.
