Bored is right. We don't pick up our load until 1500.

Oh man, I don't even know how to send a text!! LOL!! In the past 3 weeks I have met up with LDB, DaWhale, The Enemy and Jenny, all due to E.O. How great is that? :D

I am NOT saying that you have the "not my job" union type attitude in the military. You do not for the most part. The job of the military IS to fight. To break things and kill people that is it. To accomplish that you need a major team effort. Everyone's job is important. Everyone's job is...

Then do it right!! Geez!! Morning to you too!! :p

When did I say different? That is our system and it is a good one. I don't want the military in charge of this Nation. Too bad we keep electing idiots.

Greg, I am not trying to justify anything. I am well aware of the reality of being in the military. All I am saying is that to start off with the wrong troops is stupid. Once it hits the fan anyone can and will be called to do what is needed. Most will be able to respond. The cost is always...

the National Guard and the reserves have the exact same job skills as the regular army. They are just NOT full time. We put NG infantry in along side regular army infantry. Cooks with cooks, etc. The idea is NEVER to have "experienced" combat soldier. Be strong enough that no one would want...

It would be interesting. Not to worry. That plant will only be there until their tax breaks run out. Then they will shut it down and move. Just ask New Stanton PA about that.

Well, let's see if we can clear this up. You need brain surgery (insert as many smart remarks as needed here). Do you want a brain surgeon to do it? I mean, a doctor is a doctor after all. Doctor first, surgeon second. What is a "specialist Ryan"? Soldiers have MANY jobs. Some are cooks...

Only TVAL trucks, Greg. It is VERY sensitive freight. :p

If the UN takes over things will get REALLY bad. You seem to have a lack of understanding about the military. Yes, everyone is a "rifleman". In reality that is NOT correct. People are trained to do a certain job. It is that way for a reason. A cook should only be used in a combat role in a...

The Kennedy clan? For the most part. At least Ted is buried in a position that is more or less "natural" for him. Flat on his back, dead to the world, in a place where he can still look up womens skirts as they pass by!!

Yes, the world is dangerous. It is now, has been in the past and is likely to remain so for the at least near future. What we need is a stronger military. The stronger we are the less chance there is that we will need to use it. As we weaken, the greater the chance. The reserves should only...

Not only a poor senator, but a drunken, womanizing coward who RAN AWAY from the scene of an accident (if it really was an accident ) most likely to avoid being prosecuted for drunk driving and homicide. He was a disgusting pig of a male and is ONLY there because his last name was Kennedy.

Yep. It is FAR more dangerous for our troops now. I would MUCH prefer to have my son fighting for real than sitting on the DMZ. Advizors die too. The first two Americans killed in Vietnam were so called advizors. The fact of the matter is that they were from my old unit, the Army Security...

They did not all have the same training AFTER boot camp. It is called BASIC COMBAT TRAINING. NO ONE is ready for a combat role right out of basic. Troops are not troops. While it is true that they COULD be used in combat at anytime while they are in they would by no means be ready or properly...

WHAT? Obama and his private Pravda lie? Tell me it ain't so!! :eek:

Give the UN 30 days to vacate the country. Call the money even. They owe that much in unpaid parking tickets!! :p

No biggie. Ted Kennedy is buried in a National Cemetery plot. He NEVER served, NEVER saw combat and had NO REASON to suffer from PTSD and HE killed someone too!!

Back at the TA in Richmond. :( Got some dry run pay and a little DH pay to get back down here for our load tomorrow. Someone at the airport must have messed up. This load should have been ready at noon. They bumped the pickup for delivering timing. Got there at 6:15 for a 7:30 pickup. NO one...
