Interservice Love

As the Valour-IT drive kicks off, you can positively feel the love between the services. Soldiers, sailors, and zoomies all break out their wittiest rhetoric and proceed to lob shots at one another.

Argghhh! took this cute little potshot at John Noonan of OPFOR.



They also thought it would be cute to list the Marine team and our team leader (Villainous Company) in a hot pink font.

The Navy is not to be left out of the "snarking", as Neptunus Lex delivers a pretty humorous riposte to the doggies of Team Army.

The race is on as the sojers have once again stolen a march on us in the dark o’ the night, what with their load-bearing equipment and muddy boots, brutally severe haircuts and pinched, shrewish faces all cammied up like.

If you haven't been by Project Valour-IT yet - well, what are you waiting for!?

Seriously, if you can think of a better cause please let me know, because I'm hard-pressed to myself.

EDITED TO ADD: We've already passed $10,000 in just the first day. At this rate, as the word continues to spread, we are well on our way to reaching our goal. Swing by Valour-IT if you haven't already, and throw your weight behind your favorite service. And if you have already, sit back and enjoy the interservice shenigans as Arrghhh, Neptunus Lex, OPFOR, Villainous Company, et al. "snark" each other for the next 2 weeks.

I enjoy reading your blog. Glad you are doing well.

You're right; the Blackfive team and Chuck Z are hysterical discussing this great cause.
 
Great post. I like your writing style.

If I may point out one thing... Lex is not the leader for the Navy team. It's actually Chaotic Synaptic Activity. He has a relatively modest leadership, but has been doing some phenomenal work behind the scenes--which is starting to pay off as Navy closes the gap this evening.
 
Ahh, but if we must be nit-picky, I never said Lex was the leader of Team Navy. I merely referenced his funny remarks about the Army.

Thanks for the post on SOCNET, I meant to get one out there but failed to do so.

Good luck getting that anchor off the bottom and catching up with us gyrenes. What I love about this is the fact that, despite the interservice "love" going around, no one service team can reach this goal on our own. All four services will be needed if we are to reach the $180,000 mark by the 11th. Damn near poetic, ain't it?
