To be young and act like you are superman...

Over twenty years ago...

Different back then. I had been trained and worked with Americas
Finest. By then I had jump out of planes, APC's, tanks and god knows
what. I had been on some of the wildest rides of my life! I had
shot more munitions than thought had been made. I was in charge
of some of the baddest conventional weapons on Earth. In seconds
millions of dollars of equipment could be destroyed, it was at my finger
tips. I also had some my best friends die right next to me.... I knew
others that left and never came home. I had been places and done
things... I will may never talk about. I then got to train Americas Finest.
Knowing what these men would have in front of them. The things they
would need to do and know to come back home. This may have been
the hardest thing every. These men would leave with only their training...

I have severed my country and this is not about me!

This is for those sevring today, Gods Speed to those fighting today!
We care and we hope you all come home!

KILL!
I'd have to agree, but I'm slightly biased.
Every branch has it's job though, and is the best in the world at what they do.

Yeah, it pays 'em all right...gave me my first house (not absolutely scary crank-slum apartment in the Springs) to live in, me and the wife are taken care of so long as I'm in, free tuition,...not bad.

Now, let's talk about the 95* morning, and the shamal wind that just turned me into a walking sugar donut... >

Man Shamal's SUCK... LOL damn it man...

I sat in the back seat of my Apache for 2 days trying to get out of the damn wind.... and it stuffed silt EVERY Damn where... ( started to call it dirt... but got over it )

It's like the plague. It's freakin' everywhere. And the scary thing is: we have grass around here. But around a 10-mi. sq around Mosul, it's that baby-powder silt crap that floats...it was almost Looney Tunes-like, was a beautiful day when I went into the office, I come out, now I'm coated and ready for sale, running down a street chasing my damn hat...

But a bright side...for some reason, the SuperBeater Nissan ran great, managed to make it bark 2nd! Sand must make it run better, I guess..

I never had the honor of serving, I have huge respect for those who have, and are still in the service of our country. God Bless you all.

My father was in Korea with the army, to this day there are many things he won't talk about from his time there.

Everytime you say something that gets to you.. you realize that your sacrifice is NOTHING compared to the others that have given way more or thier all... it honestly ends up making you pretty quiet.
