Nice! Thanks for sharing that. Having grown up abroad, I'm constantly amazed at how much of this goes on. Sadly, most Americans reinforce the stereotype of who we're perceived to be. (unlike the person in this Op-Ed).

Isnt 2nd Batt HQ in that same AO? Where you around when it erupted?

I was there when it erupted. Ash was so thick it took paint off many cars, dropped lava rocks on the lawn on base enlisted housing, etc.

I got pointed to this website back in 2004, and have generally enjoyed it since. However, I've noticed the slowdown too. A few ideas as to why: 1. Oddly, I think some of the "drama llamas" and some of the posers did keep things lively, and those sorts of people now have better places to g...

Welcome, fellow Utah'n. I live just a few blocks south of Airport #2 (home of 211th AVN). Maybe we already know each other?

Welcome. Where about in the N. Idaho area? Anybody in Idaho/Utah are generally excellent (salt of the earth) people. Great fishing and hunting in your AO!

My first issued weapon was a 9mm Beretta. Later, as I transitioned units, I was assigned an M230 Chain Gun.

I think it's relevant, but I don't like how it's handled here in Utah. In Utah, the Mormon church sponsors just about every troop, so there's some Mormon indoctrination that occurs. I do think as long as the Scouts continue the tradition of teaching outdoorsmanship, basic ethics and working with han...

Helicopter mounted .30cal mini-gun, MP5 Sub-machine gun and my Springfield XD .40 and .45.

What did you do, rob a bank????? I wish. My ass hurts from shitting out all the cash (for down payments) on the truck, RV, hitch & brake controller. I sold some stock while it was doing well (about two weeks ago) to put down money. The rest is just creative financing to get payments where we ne...

Picked up my new 5th wheel trailer today: Here are a few pics of the new rig: http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs294.ash1/22177_1351130381982_1343055396_980947_1034878_n.jpg http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs294.ash1/22177_1351130701990_1343055396_980952_6660923_n.jpg http:/...

Very nice indeed. I guess that you couldn't get the dealership to toss in a CB Radio though ? CB Radio, eh? Used to have one of those in my "souped" up Chevy Chevette back in 1985. Put flame pin striping down the windows, had way over sized racing slicks, a perfectly placed hole in the mu...

Just bought a new truck with Satellite radio, so I've been jamming to the BPM Techno/Dance station.
