Helicopter moms, amiright?

[–]brygy24 20 points21 points ago

New reality show on Fox

The helicopter dads to always tell you to keep your chinook

When I came home from Iraq, there was a big circle jerk of a formation. We were given a bunch of speeches about coming home and blah blah. When it broke up, I'm next to my buddy and said "Dude, let's go smoke a cigarette and let the crowd thin out a bit. We're never going to find our families in this place. Little did I realize that my mother spotted me as I was leaving the hangar.

So I'm shooting the shit with my buddy and we're talking about what we're going to do now that we're home. All of a sudden, I hear a familiar voice go "My baby!" and my mother hugged the life out of me. I'm like " Aww Mom, not in front of the other Rangers". I love my mom and I was glad to see her, but all pretenses of being a battle hardened veteran went out the window right there.

[–]WhitEXOuT 19 points20 points ago

I think your battle hardened veteran pretense was lost when you became "I_heart_kittens1976"

[–]I_heart_kittens1976 16 points17 points ago

Kittens are adorable. I challenge anyone to hold a little kitten and not have your heart melt.

[–]MrBoldMan 0 points1 point ago

Also judging by the date you are..36?

[–]I_heart_kittens1976 0 points1 point ago

Nope, random year.

[–]Negro_Napoleon 2 points3 points ago

Then you got tons of ass, right?

[–]I_heart_kittens1976 18 points19 points ago

Just from my girlfriend at the time.

Anecdote about how cool my mom is(I kind of made her seem lame in the last post). After we turned in our weapons and they cut us loose for the weekend, my mom let me and my girlfriend have my old bedroom as I lived in the barracks at the time. She said "There's two things young military guys want after a deployment. There's a bottle of vodka in your bedroom and you guys have the house to yourselves."

Edit: It just dawned on me that my dad is former military. Almost a decade later and I finally got the shudder factor.

This story is Rangeriffic.

[–]I_heart_kittens1976 0 points1 point ago

Haven't heard that in a while.

[–]Harold_Grundelson 11 points12 points ago

WON'T SOMEBODY THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN?!?

[–]TheCrazyPineapple 33 points34 points ago

I laughed to hard at this.

[–]Door_Knob 68 points69 points ago

I laughed two hard as well

[–]counting_kittens 23 points24 points ago

I just wanted too let you all know that I also laughed hard at this.

[–]nathanlenny 3 points4 points ago

This time I think the title makes it even funnier than the original.

[–]neotheism 21 points22 points ago

First time for me.

[–]FSMCA 13 points14 points ago

[–]Joufy 1 point2 points ago

I love it so very much. I put it up in my cube on the wall. It always makes me smile.

[–]sitongz -5 points-4 points ago

[–]LovePhaser 12 points13 points ago

The eyes got me. Tears of laughter were shed.

[–]Lemondish 1 point2 points ago

Are those Canucks? Kinda looks like an Elcan on that rifle.

[–]malexw 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I noticed that too. Judging by the terrain, it could be Ontario in March. I don't really recognize any other equipment, though. They might also be Dutch - I think they also use Chinooks and those scopes.

[–]Lemondish 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, seems you're correct. Just did a Google search by image and found several references to Dutch special forces attached to this photo.

Those Elcans are tricksy things. I see them constantly on sci-fi shows, especially the ones shot in Vancouver lol

[–]foreveralexis 1 point2 points ago

BBLLLLAAARRGGHH

[–]pandoxitty 1 point2 points ago

Why is this so funny. Oh man. Love it.

[–]GonzalaGuerrera 1 point2 points ago

Come to mother, children!

[–]Bradaphraser 4 points5 points ago

Googly eyes make any picture silly. They make military pictures REALLY silly.

[–]instant_japanese 1 point2 points ago

It's safer at the docks!

[–]neotheism 1 point2 points ago

I imagine this in Eddie Murphy's voice from the Nutty Professor.

[–]snaresamn 1 point2 points ago

I've never seen a badass picture turned this ridiculous with such minimal amounts of editing.

[–]Goldmine44 1 point2 points ago

This looks shopped. I can tell from the pixels, and from seeing a few shops in my day.

Also, the big googley eyes.

[–]SchlapHappy 0 points1 point ago

Why the fucking fuckety fuck is the guy in front not wearing knee pads? This is how you get a pressure bruise.

[–]Sam_MF_Jackson 0 points1 point ago

Can't help but see the bulbmin from Pikmin.

[–]nasally27 0 points1 point ago

I think you accidentally a word there.

[–]sniperbeast 0 points1 point ago

I laughed a little too hard at this.

[–]AshDroBoy 1 point2 points ago

they grow up so fast...

[–]hippopotacat 0 points1 point ago

I guess i'm the only one nerdy enough to notice that the gear they are wearing is pretty fucking old

[–]Chrischn89 -1 points0 points ago

I always thought the back of the Chinook looks like a frog or rhino

Repost

[–]Cormasaurus -2 points-1 points ago

/r/funny: The place where it's okay to repost everything and it still isn't funny.

[–]Rnad -4 points-3 points ago

military post, 23 day old account? Nice try US army.

[–]zacura23 1 point2 points ago

im glad someone else noticed that

[–]xAnonymous123 -1 points0 points ago

Perfectly funny!

[–]nepidae -1 points0 points ago

Its funny because we spend millions of dollars per soldier and yet young people cannot get jobs.

[–]hachiko007 -1 points0 points ago

fuck them all. US soldiers are fucking scum. People in the US get more right from the ACLU than the US military EVER gave them in EVERY war to date.

[–]HavocWeaver 0 points1 point ago

I love how you ignore the fact that nobody gives a shit about what you have to say.
