Yeah - I got mine when I was flush with post-deployment money. Had them all of three months before some barracks thief stole them and sold them. Probably for beer money the idiot.

I was *so* pissed.

At least the chain of command knew how much those things cost - which meant they went ballistic. Never did find the rat.

Is the term *so* pissed equal to livid? Because that is what I would be. I detest a thief I think above all. Had my truck stolen years ago with all my tools etc.. Was making a move. I commented I would kill the person if I found them (I was livid) to which a kid (early 20s) commented, 'just for stealing?'.. yeah, since he took my livelyhood. The job I was moving too required I had those tools.. no tools, no job, and no job means no place to live, no food to eat.. That is why they hung horse thieves.. because it was often condeming the owner to the fate of death themselves. Nope, have NO love or like of a thief.

Here in Australia, a "pissed" person is absolutely rolling drunk.
"Pissed off" on the other hand has the same meaning as there.
So, were a few drinks involved afterwards?

Well, yes. Of course drink was involved afterwards. Come now, you was a soldier, there is *always* drink involved. But in the local lingo, it means plotting murder and mayhem level of angry.

Drink, not necessarily.
