Rusty Vandura, and all you other Oppos, here’s what you should be doing instead of fist or elbow bumps: The Wuhan Shake!

Wait: you calling me out? I’ll wave before I start playing footsie with people.

I’m just saying it’s already established and avoids the pitfalls of both the fist bump and elbow bump.

You could just render salutes!  

I just laughed when I remembered that in Nuke School when we were walking between the barracks and the school, if we saw an officer, we’d intentionally slip into a single file line so they’d be forced to salute each one of us individually.

This guy I knew who was being expelled from the Army wrote F**k You on the bottom of his hand so it would display whenever he saluted an officer. Evans, his name was, as I recall...

Hell, in the U.K. we just do the head nod (just one nod, about an inch tip forward and back), and say, ‘alright!?’, then the other person does the same back.

No kissing, hand shakes, fist bumps, foot tapping, etc...

That’s hilarious! Wildly disrespectful, but hilarious!

I still laugh when I think about it. I think he was Billy Evans.

I ETS’ed from the Army in ‘90 and from AFRES in ‘95 and I still have Army dreams. Had one last night, as a matter of fact. In dreams over many years, my ETS date has closed in and I think about a year ago, that date passed in my dreams. I am fortunate that my Army experience did not include violence and trauma and friends being destroyed because my Army dreams, I am certain, would be much worse than the annoying situations I experience in those dreams now.

See my dad’s story was that he always carried two brief cases on base, whether he needed to or not, because you couldn’t be required to salute if your hands were full.
