Am I the only one who thinks that is the most ridiculous excuse for driving 100-130mph down a highway?
:rolleyes:

lol I don't know what to say after read this. So no you are not only one think it is ridiculous excuse.

No, you aint the only one. Stupid decisions like this is what causes returning Soldiers to kill innocent Americans on our highways and biways. I am more than convinced that you are not a Captain in the United States Army.

Soldier, for your safety, the well-being of your family, and the safety of any one else peripheral to your actions, STOP BEING STUPID!!!

If you feel offended by my statements, you can email me at richard.candelario@us.army.mil.

Rick, that's good post.

Haha, this post has gotten really ridiculous.

I respect every guy who goes over there and does that for us, but that is a terrible excuse.

i respect officers of all branches, and for you to be an O-3 in the US army and not have the common sence to understand what you are doing is stupid, idk what to tell you. dont you give safety briefs to your division? ( or whatever you call it in the army ) one of the first things covered in every one has to do with driving. to go slow and abide by he traffic laws.

i havent been over to iraq yet. its hard to get a chance to go with the job i have, but i know that if i came back from that i wouldent use that excuse to do anything stupid. you went thru all that risking your life to protect us and your family back home and still come back here and risk your life and the lives on the road with you the same lives you swore to protect just to satisfy your needs. that sir makes no sence at all.


i say this with the upmost respect sir, for your safety and for those around you. if you need that "rush" take it to the track please! where you cant hurt anyone else.

and if i offended you you can also email me at richard.mcintyre@navy.mil

Ok, guys? Where did you get the idea that he is a Captain? From his sig? That's for a CLAN for a GAME, not the military. So I think you guys need to chill out a little (or maybe a lot), because I think your jumping to [incorrect] conclusions.

Second, that's a small pic, but yes, it does appear to be a PFC rank.

Finally, I don't think his excuse is a stupid one. He's saying it's for the adrenaline rush. That is the ENTIRE reason we enjoy racing and/or speeding. So maybe y'all should think about it before saying it's a stupid excuse, because I think most of you would agree with him. Does that make doing it ok? Of course not.

Oh, and if you enjoy being shot at, then THAT is stupid. Enjoying getting shot at WILL get you killed.

I still find as not a good excuse. There are safer ways to cure the adrenaline rush. GROW UP!!!!!!

You realize that attitudes like that is what accounts for most of the homeside service deaths? More young soldiers were killed in car/motorcycle accidents last year then were killed in Iraq?

You wanna go fast fine take it to a track.

If you feel offended you can email me at

Ohh and I bet if your unit commander knew what your attitude was in regards to vehicle safety you'd be on the carpet immediately.

Uhm no offense guys but if you took his sig to be a real account of his earnings well then haha

+ I don't think he ever said he was a Captain. I could be mistaken and I will look at the posts more in depth but it doesn't seem like he actually said he was a Captain.

I had never said he was a CPT, nor has he. This PFC (the Marines dont have Rockers on their rank until they make Staff Sergeant) is making people believe that he is, indeed, a CPT in the US Army and an Operator. I am convinced, after MAC's searching, that his sig is simply his earnings in America's Army.

Soldier, I would highly recommend that you go to counseling. You are in need of help in re-adjusting to life here in the States. I was in a similar condition some years ago.

As for the speeding: SLOW DOWN. Your family and friends love you, need you around, and would be DEVESTATED if you had harmed yourself while going 130 MPH.

Who cares, I think the dude up and left anyway.

I find his claims of fines on post a little odd. I've never seen fines issued. Base points yes and if he got as many as he claimed his sticker would have been scraped and base driving privildeges revoked.

hercs right.

here its 12 points a year.

3 for speeding 0-9 mph
5 for speeding 10-20 mph
5 for wreckless driving which is up to the MP

i deleted my post earlier cause i thought it seemed harsh. i was pretty upset is all.

most Army posts will issue fine tickets. I was issued enough to know this personally. AND they assess Post Points.
