Well, it looks like Mogami is going to be sworn in on Monday, and I get to do it. [:D]

That's pretty cool. I can't wait.

$5 says you flub one of the sentences in the oath... [:D]

(Pressure ? What pressure ?)

No bet here, unless you pay me $5 when I screw it up. Half way through my marriage "swearing in", my response to one of the lines was "Huh?" [:D] The wife still reminds me about that.

Hey, I didn't know you frequented the Thread. You're an official crazy (but I knew that already). You EOD types......

The big news this morning from these parts is the LT. serving at Fort Lewis who has been called up to be deployed to Iraq. He is refusing because he believes the war is illegal. This ain't my father's miliary. [8|]

The idiot obviously hasn't seen the inside of a military prison. If I had it my way, he would.

This is seriously for real?? You aren't kidding??

Absolutely. He's joining the unit I spent 17.5 years haunting. I just left it last fall.

Hopefully he will. I can't stand numbnuts who join the military and reap the beneifts of such a move then hedge if the service has the audacity to actually expect them to do the job they signed up for.

Hangover from VietNam.. my era.. you sign on the dotted line, and then takes your chances. My son is contemplating signing that line - probably in the USN - like his Pa. Hope he doesn't get sea sick.

If he wants to go to jail instead, I support his right to do that. If I were in his unit I'm not sure I would want him over there watching my back.

On another note though ever notice how often this issue has come up since the US started fighting all these strange little bush wars.

It's actually not as infrequent as you may think. This guy was just stupid enough to anounce it on nationwide television.

Sorry, Mog. I just found out that mission is off. We'll figure out something though. We'll find someplace to go terrorize together. [:D]

I'll send you the stars. When you reach that level, you don't sign anything. Your job is to hold things up by not signing stuff you should.

Well, Majors eat too well there. I had to run 4 miles a day to keep from looking like certain rodents who frequent this place. [:D]

Hi, I think the strategic Pilsner Urquell beer Brewery requires a full time garrision of 1 Major and 1 SSGT to protect it.
