Bribe your motor pool officer! It used to work in the navy...

There have to be some that are considered DRMO candidates - see if they'll cannibalise a few to build some up!

Funny what happens to regs and paperwork when something is a really good idea....

The man who talked me into the military told me something that has proven true to the very last drop:

"You go in there and you make it - and you will be a part of the largest fraternity/sorority on earth, and it will always be a part of you as well as you of it."

He also said:

"Ordinary people probably will not understand you, but don't worry about it."

I just got a really strange idea...

Take a set of coveralls and dye them black, then tie-bleach them so they are a mottled series of grey colors.

For night intrusion it might be good camo. Guaranteed the borders of light and dark would be irregular

Well, for training purposes we got 2 axle's to work with, however once I get there in late Jan 09 we'll take what we can get. Thankfully we're supposed to be getting MRAP's because we're a transistion team, 'cause those uparmored HMMWV's SUCK ASS!! Can you say CRAMPED!!!!

I would pass some for you Chief, but i'm a Hydro guy. I do work tankers though. Good old 135's. I get to fix the boom when your guys break it. Heh Heh.

Thanks for your service! N.K.A.W.T.G...N!

I used to speak Marine shorthand, but I was still lost. Luckily this new google thing is my friend. NKAWTG - What does NKAWTG stand for? Acronyms and abbreviations by the Free Online Dictionary.

We now have a new "COMMANDER IN CHIEF"....

(the honorable mister Obama)

What are your thoughts?

-Don't get yourself in trouble...
I personally don't know the man, or what to think.

Time will tell, but frankly - even though I am a conservative by nature - I note that OIL has dropped in price....


WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THAT?

It's like when RONBO was elected and they let the hostages go.....



I dunno, it's like a deal was cut somewhere

Regular gas is now under two dollars a gallon!

($1.63 at the last station I saw)
