That one almost hurt buddy. But I have to worry about pissing here off, she is a Chemical officer. I have a lot of respect for that. Heck in her OBC, they have to go into a room filled with Nerve agent with the MOPP suit and Pro-mask, no way in hell you could get me to do that voluntarily. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Les
Back in the heartland, Thank God!

I hunt 200 acres in Nelson County Hobie. Beautiful area where you live. If that Avatar is a recent photo of yourself, you've aged great after 27+ in the military. by the way, thank you!

Came within a RCH of deployment to Panama (in a C141 enroute and turned around) and Gulf War I (1 week from deployment). The guys fighting have my utmost thanks and respect. Next to them it feels like I've done not much of anything during my time, though there were some hairy moments to be sure.
Guns are responsible for killing as much as Rosie O'Donnel's fork is responsible for her being FAT.

US Army enlisted, 1985-89, 98C
Last assignment, 311 MI BN, 101st Airborne Div, Ft. Campbell
Sgt E5 on separation.
Went in thinking I might make a career of it in the family tradition (dad retired Colonel, USArmy; grandfather retired Colonel, USAF (and WWII B17 pilot, Berlin Airlift pilot). Just decided it wasn't for me. Proud to have had the opportunity to serve, and very thankful and respectful of all those who have served, especially those who, unlike me, served in wartime.
