Hi, Gut? I weigh 170 pounds. I can run 3 miles in under 30 minutes. (no speed record but hey..I'm 50)
Left Va Beach 3 years ago. Seen the "Crater" before but will enjoy seeing it again.

(I don't eat seafood. The 3 food groups are Chicken, Cow and pig)

No, no, no. The three food groups are sugar, chocolate, and fat. [:D]

I thought they were sugar, salt and MSG.[&:][:D]

Good luck Mogami. The armed forces need decent cooks, a very real moral booster is good food (ask any submariner).

Well, it's official. The Ohio Army National Guard now has a brand spanking new (figuratively, of course) SSG Mogami.

I didn't get any pics. (Smacks self)

I'll get some when he starts drilling and gets his uniforms. I'll also get some from Origins. (Smacks self again)

Did you get close to your old rank bank or what? Too long an absence?

Hi, I had a good monday. Swore in and then attended my daughter Ashley's graduation party.  (Being a really fancy dude and big spender I then took her and her boyfriend to the VFW and played darts and chess and fed them a Bear burger)

All seriousness aside, Russ, congratulations, and I'm sure you'll find a way to enjoy and learn from these next six years.

And remember, everyone, he's not really going anywhere...

Ahhhh man military life and FOOD! I still remember coming in after an all nighter on the town, putting on my fatigue greens and going down for "MIDNIGHT CHOW" haha (I wasn't the only one) haha. Fresh made omelettes anyway you wanted them. Orange juice (fresh squeezed lol haha) BACON/LINK SAUSAGES ALL YOU COULD EAT!! Mano Mano if nothing else people should join the service for the FOOD! ;) Man after an all nighter it sure hit the spot and helped keep yah from getting sick. Gawd how many days did I go into work with only 2 or 3 hours sleep....I really should have not dated so many STRIPPERS haha. But, the benefits were ohhhhhh sooooo nice. ;)
WE/I WANT 1:1 or something even 1:2 death animations in the KOIOS PANZER COMMAND SERIES don't forget Erik! ;) and Floating Paratroopers We grew up with Minor, Marginal and Decisive victories why rock the boat with Marginal, Decisive and Legendary?

Hi, Ha light wieght. All nighters don't end before midnight they end 15 minutes before morning formation. (Thank goodness for electric shavers)
You don't get a midnight snack and 3 hours sleep after an "ALL NIGHTER"
