Thanks ya old fart...I just snorted my dinner! Didn't know you were MI. Number 2 son is headed to the 66th MI Co, 3/3 ACR at Carson then off to the sand box, if he doesn't get diverted to DLI.
For cryin out loud...Bush is the anti-christ and it's the end of the world...never mind it's fairly common to make cabinet changes, considering some stated out front they wouldn't stay beyond 4 years. Get a life already. It's over, Kerry lost, the Dem party is out of sync. Mend your own fences before you cry wolf.
I am not sure if this is something to laugh about. The items sourced: O'Reilly, Rush, domestic beer, and NASCAR are on the low end of the "Republican" culture. They are setup to make the masses feel like their lives are actually important, but in reality I don't care what they listen to as long as they work. NASCAR is not a sport
I was standing in the grocery check out line with my wife the other day casually glancing at the magazine racks there. One magazine had a model on the cover wearing a string bikini bottom and an oversized sweater. My wife asked if I thought she was attractive. I had to answer honestly, that "actually I wasn't thinking about her in terms of attractiveness, I was wondering how she held up the bikini bottom with double-stick tape?" Her hips were so slim
Well let's see; it's been daddy, dad, dear, Sarge, Top, Yo, as#hole, Mr., Sir, Uncle and assorted derivatives thereof. I answer to Danny sometimes, although it takes me a moment to realize they mean me!
Sounds like a Marine Recruiter to me. Having been a Jar Head for well nigh 12 years and an Army Recruiter for 13 I have had ample oppurtunity to observe, commune, and imbibe with them. Most are quite decent. A minority are not. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on your point of view, they are usually the successful Recruiters. It's called a challenge close, and they do it well. Unfortunately their success blurs their perception of reality. In any
The word(s) you all seem to be looking for is R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Mutual respect, pure and simple. That seems to be something in short supply on both sides.
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together I am the eggman, they are the eggmen. I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob.
A couple of observations, despite what the embedded reporter claims: 1.. There did not appear to be any guards or MPs posted. 2. No medical aid seems to have been rendered. 3. The Marines were doing a mop up. 4. Marines were fired on from the vacinity. I would have to conclude it was still a free fire zone and was not secure. If that is the case, what the hell was an embedded reporter doing there in the first place? Secon
Every enlistee, with the exception of those that have prior military service incur an eight year statuatory military service obligation, MSO for short. This is served in various combinations of active duty time (ACDU) and Individual Ready Reserve time (IRR). The most common being a 4X4, 4 years Active Duty, 4 years IRR. National Guard and Reserve enlistments are similar in incurring an 8 year MSO, however the
TW, I know how you feel having been on the other side of that equation, far from home. Try this if you're up to it; have Christmas with the folks in TX, then carefully put the decorations and things aside and set up a surprise Christmas party for when he gets home. He'll love it trust me!
I guess you must have given in and cut your throat...you've been quiet bro!

Obviously you have not heard of efnet, IRC, mixmaster, or ip strippers, and anonymous re-mailers. Don't belive everything you hear from the MPAA and the RIAA. The RIAA has sucessfully sued a handful of college kids and a bunch of kids swapping a few mp3 files. I won't give a moral judgement on it. The impact it has on movie ticket prices is negligible, less than 1/2 of 1% from what I read on some of the geek sites. Try looking at the salaries of the ov
That means we got a whole lotta veterans running around! This is true, although amazingly it's still a very small fellowship within our generation anyway. Our parents generation however....canya gimme a big thank you to all those courageous souls! <img src="../images/smiles/smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="a
Oh BTW, per the VA you have to have a discharge other than "dishonorable" to be eligible for benefits, although you are still a Veteran.
My wife the Recruiter tells me it's 120 days so as to include Reservists and Guardsmen(women).
Link This should do ya fine (appologies to Stephen King and the Dark Tower).
Meaning 180 days in the military, correct? Yeppers...it may be less, but that's the figure I seem to remember.
I have always considered someone who was "in a war" or deployed in a combat zone to be a veteran That would make them eligible for membership in the VFW
TW, Take it from the experts the Veterans Administration Basically if you served more than 180 days (If memory serves me) of continuous duty, you are a Veteran!
WISN 12 Milwaukee Instead we get Far and Away with Tom Cruise...what an insult. I think I'll boycott them and watch the DVD.
I don't think creationism and evolution are necessarily mutually exclusive. Who is to say evolution was not created? The Human Genome project has shown that we may have all descended from one or two original ancestors. Adam and Eve perhaps? But I don't believe anyone said that Adam and Eve were'nt covered in hair and dragged their knuckles, or that our descendants will have 5 fingers as we do now. To exclude one school of thought over another is ignora
Hey TW great article! I have had the pleasure and chagrin of raising both species. Some of you who've read my feeble attempts at blogging know that my wife and I have 7 between us. It's been interesting. We struggled with the same issues with my step daughter who is now 16. My own daughter is several years older, but I still bust her out from time to time about her choice of wardrobe. The interesting thing was hearing the opinions of my sons rega
"I want a quick way to get the file off there so I can put it on a PC" Welcome to the wonderful world of video/multimedia processing! Depending on what format you require for posting you will undoubtedly have to do some transcoding. The format most widely used is windows .wma format and to a lesser extent real players .rm proprietary format. Most video capture cards will be either in .avi format or mpg format. In order to view these on your
Hmm some TV has a "Video Out". You could use this to export whats displayed on tv to recorder While this is true, the video format is still raw and would require a capture card or a VIVO video card to capture the raw input as an .avi file or mpeg. <img src="../images/smiles/smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="ab
