Certainly an encouraging thought.

Hey, you know me, always there for my buds with a cheerful and uplifting check on reality.

Will do Invictus, thanks for authenticating the site.

Your link is pulled at the moment, probably for an update. Here's an associated story - apparently the suspect is wanted for another shooting as well.

Welcome aboard Sir! Met a few of my 2d batt forebears in 2007 also. When the new D Co was stood up in late 2007 we tried to find original D Co (read WW2) Rangers to represent to make a live link between the "then & now" warriors. Too bad we didn't know you then. Thank you for sharing t...

Just another day closer to death.

Negative, you earned the life you have.
You and I just get to continue to live our lives free from the the savages thanks to those fighting right now.

Welcome TOWman!

There is absolutely nothing new here, Iran has BTDT so many times already, what we need to worry about is some neocon chickenhawks blowing the latest hot air up into something more than it is.

Good sitrep Runna. Your opening comment hints at something worth mentioning: one of the toughest parts about basic (any branch) isn't how "tough" it is, it is the transition from civilian life into our institution the culture shock that nothing will prepare you for. Moving from an overly i...

Good choice. :P At 38 you flat out need more sleep, more rest time to recover then the kids do. Time you will not get in RASP or Ranger School, so what you go in with will have to carry you right on through. The more strength and endurance you have now, the better off you'll be. Once your start date...

Viper knows whereof he speaks. The most assured paths to Regiment are non-trigger pulling MOSs. Some of those are the toughest roads and greatest challanges (Ranger medic anyone?) Look at 68W, likely the toughest MOS to succeed in in getting all the way through the pipeline. Also, the best chance at...

Welcome aboard Richard. I had occasion to work with the Coasties several times in New England, very squared away bunch - and NO, I was not being rescued! :P There's a lot of cadets, former and current and a fair number of officers with a variety of backgrounds prowling this site. Feel free to fire a...

Understand that you don't just waltz into a recruiting station on Monday & be getting yelled at by drill sergeants on wednesday. The process takes months. A friend was sworn in a week ago and he doesn't ship until May - as in finals week. So waiting in hopes of the Opt 40s open up won't hurt so ...
